OzMeg222 | Anyone else found this mercury retro hard to deal with? I don't think it hit me as heavily as the last one, but then again I have a few nice transits happening at the moment (I think). Still, its been annoying and I've been having extra problems with my mobile phone. Least they're not as bad as the major problems of last merc retro when all the phone lines (inc internet) in my entire street went down for a week. Means mercury will conjunct my natal (aqu) mercury soon, then that of my lover (pis) so we should have some nice, clear communication coming up. WELCOME BACK REGULAR MERCURY!!! |
Shining Ray | I have had loads happen during this Mercury Retrograde letters sent to me saying I owe money which I didn't and it was a computer mistake. Books have still not arrived and been delayed. Repairs to my house have been done under this retrograde. There was a misunderstanding in communication between me and my partner which I got very upset about (Mercury R is Transiting my 7th. house/Pisces) A virus got into my computer and I had to reboot the whole thing. It did make me finally go out and get proper security on it though. I can download all sorts off the Internet now and not worry. which is good. I have been very introspective during this time, I have a lot planets in Pisces so this Retrograde has affected me more than others have. During the Scorpio Retrograde last time, I had intense conversations/arguments my Mercury R was transiting my 3rd, and me and my partner had to go back to court because his ex wife hadn't signed the divorce papers so it had to be re-done. Don't know whats going to happen during the Cancer R but I shall find out when the time comes. Not sure if anyone knows what the difference is with Retrogrades going through different elements. I have read Mercury R through Fire signs is a time to reassess your direction in life. Retrograde Mercury in Earth is suppose to about reassessing your practical affairs in life. Retrograde Mercury in the air signs is about reassessing how you connect with friends/family and generally your whole social life. And Mercury R through Water, your thoughts may turn to past relationships and it is probably a good time to re-examine old habit patterns and emotional responses. A bit like me over reacting and letting my emotions take a hold of me, I have had to examine my emotional responses but I am heavy water so this is a lifetime theme for me. But anyway this is me during the Mercury Retrograde.

taurean_scorpion | Shining Ray, that must have sucked! :/ I'm glad today's the last day. |
Shining Ray | Thanks Taurean I hope everything gets back to normal now. Things go wrong all the time concerning communication and things which have to be re-done when there is no Mercury Retrograde and there can be lots of misunderstandings and computers/phones break down or mail can be slow, but during the Mercury R it seems like a lot is happening at once. No doubt we will all be talking about the next Retrograde when it happens, I find them interesting to see what is going to happen, as long as too much doesn't go wrong I am fine. |
GeminiLover75 | My bf was supposed to be away for 3 days, but now it's been five. I know where he is and it's all ok, BUT there is no phone where he is. He has no cellphone, there's no internet access, and the relative who lives closest to where he is and who has a phone is over an hour away. He told me to ring his dad on Sunday night to find out the definite plans, but when I rang his dad he knew nothing... when he rang the other relative last night, communication from one of the uncles hadn't got through to him and everything was messed up... which is why my bf is still away because he has to wait for another uncle to bring him back home! Even though I've known where he is I still worry when there's a lack of communication. That's mercury retrograde for ya! |
awatson4 | I actually had a good mercury rx. My brain was a little scattered when it came to writing and clarity, but everything else went well. I actually recieved lots of money over Mercury rx, and I handled business affairs well. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the internal influence it had on me. I became really introspective and scatteredMy mercury is unaspected in the 12th house.

Planet_Soul | This has been the worst Rx so far. Our PC crashed, and we had to purchase a new one. The phone company mistakenly billed us $349! It turned out to be a computer glitch, but it was still annoying. I did horribly during an interview, but was still offered the position. I'm wary, but I began the process well before Mercury went retro. My best friend and I had a big fall-out after a miscommunication. We didn't speak for two days, which was awful. Finally, my Crab has been suffering ailment after ailment. He underwent a second root canal on the same molar! Very expensive, especially since it was first done about 10 months ago. The next week, he had a kidney stone. Sigh. Mercury went Rx in my 3rd house, 5th house for the Crab. |
GeminiLover75 | I forgot to mention that my computer mouse has been crapping out! The retrograde has been in my 3rd house, so yay for me. |
SolarVirgo81 | My first Mercury Rx being aware of it didn't turn out too good but not too bad either! I lost my cell phone and had to get another one. But I also received some reimbursement money from the insurance company after a hit-and-run crash last December. This particular Mercury Rx retrograde fell in my 5th House, conjuncting my Moon in the process. |
DayDreamer | As usual, I encountered computer problems, making me dependent on other ppl's comps. Car problems...my emergency break just snapped. My cellphone stopped working...after taking it into the cellphone co. centre and talking to customer service a couple of times I discovered I accidentally pressed the wrong number when I called the automated customer service and accidentally reported my cellphone as stolen, so they stopped my service...silly me! And the other day, when the Sun was conjunct Uranus I almost got into an accident. Driving up north in a snow storm with bald tires is a BAD BAD idea. I had to make a 180 turn to avoid an island and a street sign. Thank God there werent any of the many tractor trailers behind me on that highway when i did lose control. I cant wait to return back to normal...and just in time for march break too...yaaaay! |
CrabbyKitty | Shining Ray, this is off the subject of this topic, but I just have to say I love your angry pc user. I do payroll for a large construction company and have felt exactly this way, blood and all! I saved it to my computer and look at it once in awhile, laughing each time. Thanks for the chance to see how funny we are when we're taking stuff SO seriously! I didn't really have any computer or mechanical issues from Merc retro, but I do know that yesterday I felt noticably better and very "up". |
pearlized | well i had problems but i always have problems during mercury retro. travel issues mostly. submitting documents several times and long delays and getting reimbursed for job related expenses. some computer glitches as well. back to normal soon i hope. |
Dulce Luna | Ooooh geez! Can you say "mad drama @ my mom's"? Alot of sh%t wasn't working right at my mother's...it was sooo strange. It was mainly the pipes which ended up causing flooding in her basement and when those were fixed, suddenly there was no hot water....and so on. |
D for Defiant | Me, too! I'm glad Mercury's back to its direct motion! It had been pretty tough when Mercury was rx- lost or delayed mail, and I just went very highstrung (?)...hypernervous whenever I talked to people, I got so very anxious. Today I had a tiny little triumph over a conversation with a guy who looked like he had gone off his "right track"- yay! |
Wednesday | It wasn't so bad, just got me confused in a romantic matter. In fact, I still am confused even right now. Hmm. Oh, and also my iTunes library crashed and I lost like 2/3 of my collection -_- Started smoking again yesterday. |
shirty | mercury RX can kiss my %$@!! haha, good riddance! |
Jan_A | Direct? I don't see a single interesting thread-so boring... |
soconfused | i hate mercury in retrograde - the worst times of my life have been through this and this is no exception I went to 2 funerals and found out 1 of my friends tried to kill herslef and I have another one talking about it Please- this is only going on for another week right?
|
Jan_A | soconfused Actually, Mercury is direct since 7th March. |
D for Defiant | Wednesday, Sorry to hear that. I hope you'll feel better soon. Yeah, Mercury in rx can make some people suicidal, plan suicide or attemp suicide- so be careful at such times. It's good that right now Merc is moving directly. |
kindjali | Be careful.....Mercury will still have effect next week. If you ask me wait until 19th March, when there is Solar eclipse. k |
DayDreamer | I figured out what was wrong with my emergency break. It didnt snap as I originally thought...phew I thought I had to dish out another lump some. Still have those tires to change during my break. I can feel the difference in communicating. Fewer missed calls, clearer understanding of where ppl are coming from, and not as many delays in communicating and meeting up with people. |
soconfused | I had heard the 17th but I will assume the 19th just to be on the safe side |
kindjali | Solar ecplise can to big BANG...do nothin until then. K. |
