This is a fine time to interview candidates, but you may not have all relevant information, such as references, at your fingertips to make a well informed decision. Pay attention to people who were born under the sign of the zodiac in which Mercury is moving retrograde, as well as those people born under the signs on either side of that sign. These people are more likely to experience the problems associated with Mercury retrograde during the cycle in question. For example, Mercury's retrograde motion this April and May will occur in the sign of Taurus and the last degree of Aries. Therefore, people born under Taurus as well as Aries and Gemini may also feel Mercury's effects.
