Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are currently all in retrograde at the same time. This is a rare phenomenon to have 5 planets retrograde at once... has anyone noticed anything significant going on in their life that is being affected by this?

One thing that's sticking out to me is that lately I've had this unbreakable sense of self and knowing who I am. I'm more confident in myself than I think I've ever been... also, I've had a spiritual revelation in that my belief system that I've found comfort in for the last few years of my life is turning out to be nothing but lies and deceptions (I was into all the "New Age" stuff, ancient civilizations, mysticism, occult practices and I'm now learning that alot of these practices were taken from satanism and rebranded as "New Age". I've had alot of bad/evil experiences from some of the things I've done that I thought were bringing good to my life, but in retrospect all the things I did just brought me more pain than anything.) I am feeling like I want to throw it all away now and go to church, I haven't felt fulfilled at all by my belief system and I'm suddenly drawn to go to church and accept Jesus into my life. (Please no hate or criticism here, if you believe in these things, go right ahead. I'm not judging others and don't want anyone to judge me negatively for reaching this conclusion, this is just my experience.)

I'm also looking for a house to move out on my own. I'm feeling compelled to delete my facebook account (or at least severely limit my time on it) in favour of making my real life relationships more meaningful and having time to take care of stuff I need to without getting distracted. I want to try and be closer to my family. It's like I'm finally ready to cut all the BS out of my life that isn't serving me a purpose, and replace those things with more fulfilling things.

And of course, the always prevalent computer problems that come with a mercury retrograde have been showing up :P

What have been your experiences so far?

I feel you probably were affected by the eclipses in March.

I ended several friendships tonight, probably a mistake but there is no going back now.

I am having a horrendous time right now. I lost my job and have been rejected at several interviews. Mars and saturn are bang on my MC, Can't wait for them to go direct again. I feel bored, frustrated and desperately need change

I haven't really felt any difference to be honest. Life has been pretty much the same.

I'm digging through old Facebook messages. I'm thinking of past relationships of all types, friendship etc. that have gone. Things of that nature. Not with an urge to return but only to reflect on those situations. Almost to sit in wonder like, "wow. That happened."

I keep thinking of past arguments I've gotten into with people. If only Saturn would go direct and NOT head towards my Moon-Pluto opposition and conj. Pluto.

Mars is also conjunct Pluto, so it makes things worse! These retrograde planets are really annoying me right now. Mercury Rx also got in the way yesterday when I went in to apply for a job. They had no open positions for 16-17 year olds

I want to erase my posts more often than usual.

That's Mercury Rx but also Pluto Rx "shining" on my sun again. Last time Pluto was conjunct my sun, it really quieted me down and forced me to weigh the truth in my words.

It feels wacky and uncomfortable to keep pruning, re-writing, and fidgeting...
but maybe this is part of having transiting Uranus applying to a conjunction with my Chiron. Oh the pain of being a weirdo.....

^^ Very typical for Saturn transiting Sagittarius.

Or.....
MWD
Mental Weirdness Disorder
The doctors would be like, "Um, we're going to have to take a look at your natal chart in order to determine this."

If I went to the doctor, I would be classified with so many disorders. In preschool I was actually classified with Autism
They would be see me and be like, "Dear god, this case is incurable!" lol

ROTFL!

Well, I have Aqua Mercury tightly square Uranus, so I can imagine the doctors telling my parents right at the beginning, "We're really sorry, there was nothing we could have done except maybe inducing labor last week. If it's any comfort, people have survived this disorder and gone on to live semi-normal lives."

So much chaos. Trouble finding a home, no money, job is shaky, bad timing, trouble in school, health issues that I don't have time to pay attention to.. I think they're caused by stress anyway. I am excited for the next few weeks to be over.

Semi-Normal is an understatement lol. If you took a look at my chart, you would see the disaster I will be going through when the years come by lol (especially when Pluto enters Aquarius).

Though my Aqua stellium takes pride in being weird. I would probably be like, "Thank you SO MUCH for saying that I won't have a normal life!"

Yes, me too.

Also, people are popping up from the past, but it's all been very pleasant, so far. Mostly.

I find that communication comes to me from people who are normally very difficult to get ahold of when Mercury goes Rx (sometimes). They just show up out of the blue.

Or situations are resurfacing after I thought they were finished (I'm re-registering my son in the local preschool I had him in, and registering him for kindergarten there as well, which I hadn't planned on doing).

Otherwise, the usual. Packages arriving late, stuff getting canceled last minute, etc. But nothing major.

Mars, however, can really just suck it. Or maybe stay this way, I guess. It's kind of nice to have that refreshing Sag influence in my life.

Let's see.... These retrogrades have been absolutely AWFUL! Everything has gone haywire. From finances to friendships! It's been a literal mess. I had to accept a job offer last Friday and I just pray it will turn out OK. I am waiting for the contract to be sent so that I can sign and return it to the dean of the college. I plan on reading that thing with a FINE TOOTH COMB!!!

So sorry to hear, life is so hard!!

I feel I should say this message to you: your life needed to get worse before it can start getting better again. Things will normalize, hang in there.

Unfortunately this is true for me too, especially with Saturn opposite Moon transit
