T O P I C R E V I E Wsue gand if so do you feel sort of "apart" or "alienated" from others, and do you know of any theories which would back up this "feeling".....anyone?secretseekerI have Mercury retrograde in Sag, 1st house.Don't know if I feel apart or alienated. Sometimes feel totally alone but then don't we all?Found this here: http://www.lunarnodes.co.uk/planets.htm MercuryMercury is often retrograde and slows down the faculties, making them fixed to the present day. The individual is more practical and pragmatic – as if lacking imagination. The individual finds it hard to concentrate and focus, to think things through.Mercury is the planet of communication and intelligence or learning. So a retrograde Mercury could indicate a shy person, someone afraid to speak or, alternatively, someone with learning difficulties depending on where the planet lies in the birth chart (in terms of sign and house placement). The person has difficulties coming to terms with the planets significance and requires an urgency to work out the challenges with more urgency.sue gOh thanks secret !I dont have this myself, but met a Dutch astrologer on Sunday who said she was doing some research into it...I was interested to hear from others who had this placement at birth.....?shop22much.illusions_foolI have Mercury in retrograde in my 12th House but I never looked much into it. It would explain why I'm so shy though, as secret posted above.When you say deep seated issues with parents, what do you mean though? Like... I'm not fond of my dad because he's very insensitive vs. me, who is extremely sensitive, and so he hurts my feelings all the time and makes me feel stupid. I've come to resent it a bit, and he's very short tempered.~RebekkamysticaldreamI have Mercury retrograde in the eleventh house (conjunct Moon). I don't know that I feel alienated; I haven't noticed that being an issue.The post about the parent is more right on with me; I have the same exact situation, Illusion. I get along pretty well with my Father now, since he has "mellowed out". At his worst, he is brutally insensitive not to mention he has very traditional ideas about women which have never coincided with my "modern" views.......a clash of the wills, all the way!Full-fifthhouse-loulouShop you could be spot on. I have mercury retrograde in saggy in fifth house.....to some degree this makes me a chatterbox but hell I have my moments of shyness too....and I have major issues with my dad (violent, havent seen him since I was 15) and to a degree my mother (alcoholism) though I love her to bits.------------------SCORPIO SUN 5TH HOUSEASCENDANT CANCERCANCER MOON 12TH HOUSEsecretseekerYeah, issues with father here too.cindyI have a retrograde mercury conj. the sun, but I do not lack imagination.I really think a huge percent of people have parent issues, at least in the first half of their lives,that would be more house placement and moon or saturn.Sometimes a retro mercury can cause miscommunications,but it can also provide focus.daydream32I have 6th house mercury retrograde in Taurus. I do have a learning disability and can have a hard time focusing now and then. My mind takes a much longer time to process things than most people. I don't always feel alienated, and I do have friends, but sometimes I don't always want to be around people. I'm shy around people that I don't really know/acquiantances, so I can come off as being a little distant/aloof. But around my friends, I am very loud, chatty, and outgoing.As for parents....my dad and I get along great! But with my mom....there's a little bit of tension. We get along, but I am not very open with her (and don't have much interest in it). She can be very overcritical.

Regarding your response of your Mars in Pisces in the 4th, it IS good that you are able to find the right people to help you out, bring that structure to your life. I'm thinking, since it's in the 4th, you may place a lot of importance to finding that through your family, or at the homefront.
