I tend to believe at this point in the ascension/graduation process that if people still carry difficult karma, it takes events like Mercury in Retrograde to cause the proper catalyst to pry that karma free and to force the person to deal with the issue.
That is also assuming the person wishes to ascend/graduate, and has asked for divine assistance with freeing him/herself of all remaining karma in order to not lug around any lower vibrational attachments.
And I'm not saying that if you didn't have any challenges over the past few weeks that you are free from serious karma. Everyone experiences catalyst in a very unique way, so Mercury in Retrograde may be very powerful for one person while it doesn't affect another person the same way.
It is also important to note there are plenty of ways to insulate yourself from the effects of challenging astrological alignments, as well. Many Easterners wear gems that are mounted to rings, where the gem touches the skin on the finger. Certain gems in your chart will act as filters for the energies that play upon your various energy bodies. You may also refuse to let planetary energies affect you, as well, as Paramhansa "willed upon himself" in the book, "Autobiography of a Yogi". If you know anyone who practices Ayurvedic astrology, they will know exactly how yo assist you with filtering such energies.
Finally, there's the concept that we create our own "reality" in duality, so if we believe that astrology affects us as a form of catalyst, then it most definitely will manifest as such! :-)
In terms of contributing to the original question of anything happening on a planetary scale... I am noticing that time is speeding up BIG TIME!!! Are any of you noticing this? My days are flying by, and I am flipping the paper each month on my calendar as if it felt like I had just done it two weeks ago instead of four. It is said that the light coming into our sphere is of a higher vibration and therefore a faster frequency, which makes everything "feel" faster, even though we are still clinging to man-made time units. Anyone feeling that too?
