    Default Mercury Retrograde

    It started on the 24th. Has anyone noticed its effects? It's in libra right now, affecting matters of relationships, harmony and aesthetics. Mercury overall influences communication. It happens three times a year

    I remember this time last year during the retrograde I knocked my laptop off a table while cleaning my room and had to pay 800 to get it fixed.

    I also had an ex boyfriend that i hadn't heard from in half a year write me an email the other day.

    Any one notice anything else?

    Wait, you can't just take totally unrelated events (the position of a big rock in space relative to the big rock we are on) and some other thing or event and claim they are cause and effect. If you do that then you must also find every GOOD thing there is and say the big rocks in space position caused that too, which would cancel out any belief that big rocks cause bad things. Why not just believe big rocks cause good things? Either way there is 0 proof of a cause and effect relationship.

    p.s. an alternate version.... BAD things happen far more frequently than Mercury is in retrograde (since it is rarely is as compared with all of the times that it is not). How come nobody says "See, a BAD thing happened to me today and Mercury is NOT in retrograde!" Because if they did we would be saying that a LOT!

    I feel it everytime as I support communication machines and groups (ahem). This last one has been a doosie (not just here). NOTHING has been working and nothing will fix. I just keep toiling away. One foot in front of the other, day by day. We'll get there. Damn you Mercury, get on track!!!

    I suppose I should be happy it's not Mars.
    We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate. But have we truly any choice in when we rise, or when we fall, or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction. Is it evolution that takes us by the hand, does Science point our way, or is it God who intervenes keeping us safe.

    So much struggle for meaning, for purpose. And in the end, we find it only in each other. Our shared experience of the fantastic. And the mundane. The simple human need to find a kindred, to connect. And to know in our hearts... that we are not alone.

    I don't care about it being in Mercury, only about being in Uranus.

    FDIC history of US banks that closed -

    http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/.../banklist.html

    Note, almost all preceeds the 24th.

    FWIW, in the 1980s about 1000 banks closed. Many of us remember that. That also had nothing to do with big rocks in space but everything to do with people doing some stupid (greedy) things.

    But presumably rocks in space effect the whole world. So just looking at the U.S. situation would make no sense at all unless the rocks are special only for us. In many countries right now banks are doing fine. Well at least for now, but no worries, stupid people will do stupid things and there is plenty of room for economic failures, no matter where the rocks happen to be relative to each other.

    yeah you start to feel the effects two week prior to it going retrograde. It ends around october 15th I believe.

    About big rocks in space doing good and bad things- that's what astrology is. Mercury isn't the only influence that creates disarray and "bad things". If you study it, you will see.... but this leads into a debate about free will and I don't want to go there.

    I definitely started to feel it a little while ago, and now that it's in full efffect... i definitely feel it--- and not just because i know it's in retrograde.

    Some texts I sent to a friend were never received.

    Some packages I ordered got mailed to an address that I moved out of over two years ago.

    So what happens when Mercury is not in retrograde anymore?? Does that mean that come Oct 15th or so, my life will be moving forward more quickly? (I hope??)

    But, yeah, my text messages have been fucked up too!!! One friend thought I died because he hadn't gotten any of the 10+ texts I sent him, and another guy I think is pretty damn cute thought I was ignoring him for two days because I never answered his texts----that I never recieved.

    Can Mecury bring good things? Like if it brings odd old friends... can it bring the things in life you search for in life?

    Mercury in retro is a good time to tie up lose ends and finish projects, clear out clutter and uselessness. Bad time to start anything new, projects, relationships, etc.
