It's almost like clockwork... my love life is in disarray The freaky thing is... the last time things went awry with this person was during a Mercury Retrograde. This is the first time since then that we are reconnecting again... finally... and Merc retrograde kicks in and it's all a mess once again. IP: Logged |

Everything is falling apart, I'm wondering if I should lay low until Mercury goes direct again... Accordingto astrology... he's my soulmate. So why are things so weird now? Ughhhhh... I don't think I want to look at astrology for myself anymore. it gets my hopes too high when I see beautiful things in the charts... IP: Logged |

Ack, I hear ya, Venus.This merc retrograde is bringing me wayyyy down.. I want to act on my feelings but I, too, wonder if it's best to lay low for the remainder of this transit. Don't they say it's GOOD to try to clear things up during mercury retrograde, but not START anything? I dunno I'll have to think about this one.. I don't think I can wait this out without telling him how I feel.. hugs to you! ~shirty IP: Logged |

Yeah, I'm wondering about Mercury retrograde too. I was very close with my girlfriend in late June--she told me she wanted us to spend as much time together as possible. Then, she went out of town for the 4th with a family she has known for sometime. The upshot is I haven't seen her in over two weeks. When I speak to her on the phone she is perfectly pleasant but does not initiate anything. I know she has a big couple weeks (job talks and studying for medical boards), but I feel like I'm not getting any attention. IP: Logged |

I'm so sad to hear that everyone is going through similar difficulties... but I guess it's to be expected... quote: Don't they say it's GOOD to try to clear things up during mercury retrograde, but not START anything?
I hope so. I wrote a long, heartfelt email on Monday night, explaining everything and where I was coming from and how deeply I felt and how SCARED I was of getting hurt or disappointed... and so far, I've recieved no response. Although suddenly he was online almost all day yesterday when he's usually NEVER online... I was hoping he was writing back to me... but unfortunately, he just changed up his flippin' myspace layout... GRRRRRRR. I didn't wanna message him because... he just needs to email me back. That email contained stuff about things that happened 2 years ago... he told me he loved me just before the Mercury retrograde, but he was out of town!!! I was overwhelmed. I just wanted to talk about it in person, not avoid it... just not via text messages and voicemails... cause we were playing phone tag.... UUGHHHHH. And now everything is gone to sh*t. All I wanted to do was talk about it in person. I wasn't trying to reject him. Now I'm afriad I ruined it all. Inner Depths, I'm so sorry about the trouble with your family. I don't know the situation, but I wish you the best. i don't know if it's a cultural thing, but in my opinion, unless your behaviour is extremely destructive, your step-father has no right at all to forbid you from seeing your own mother... That's just appalling. What a b@stard. So sorry.

Well this Mercury retro has not been the best to me either, but I am surviving. I have noticed a difference in communication with certain people in my life. I am just laying low and waiting for things to go back to the way they were before. July 29th things will start to get better for us all..I remember the last Mercury retro we had I lost my Digital camera that I had only had a week..I was so sad, but I went and got a new one that is 10 times better then the one I had before. Now this time my car is acting a little crazy and it was fine until Mercury went retro. The catch for everyone is to be still and not get to emotional when Mercury turns back things will get better, this I know.. IP: Logged |

Actually, it hasn't been that bad for me so far. Usually, during retrograde I have people from the past coming out of the woodworks. I got e-mails from people I haven't talked to in months, the friend from out of town stopped by my office. I haven't seen her for at least 2 years. At some party I bumped into the guy, who was a "may be" at some point last year and he finally asked me out. Now at least I found out for sure I wasn't missing out on anything all this time... On the other hand, my daughter celebrated the first day of retrograde by dropping her cell phone in the water. Not only it stopped working, it became "possesed" - it was making random phone calls by itself and flashing some lights never seen before. So while we were waiting for replacement I had to let her use mine, mostly for safety reasons but also because a teenager can survive without food and water a lot longer than without cell phone.... Now I got it back and as you can imagine, there is a total mess between people trying to reach either one of us. Especially, since we sound similar. I can't wait until some boy will call and mistake me for her... I think, this is a Mercury retrograde classic. IP: Logged |

The good: I had a good break through with Mr. Big Boss. My immediate supervisor has been slacking off, and she's being flackier htan usual. The conversation revolved around issues I have with her. Mr. Boss listened carefully, and agreed to have a talk with her. A heavy weight was lifted from me, and I was able to finish the week in good spirits.The not so good: I have had two ugly discussions with my bf. I'm feeling more emotional and my thoughts are foggy. It seems my point is just not able to get through. Friendwise, I majorly stuck my hoof in my mouth. I accidently spilled to my friend what her hubby said about her at his work (he works with my bf). Apparently, he confided some things to a coworker, and it turned into major rumors. My bf told me two months ago, and I spilled to her yesterday. I am usually not so stupid, and immediatly regretted it. She is glad I told her, but it turned into an awful agrument with her husband. IP: Logged |

Bussiness has been bad, I've work the last 12 days 12 hour shifts, and Raises/Promotions came around, and I got the shaft. I was about seconds from walking out and telling the boss to shove it, but i managed to bite my tongue. It's been bad on that end. It seems too that Most people at work don't give a damn about anyone else's Issues either. That's Unusual where i work. On the Other hand my Love life has been Phenominal, not sure if it was the Cappy Moon or what but the Last two days have been unexplainatary. I've never felt the kind of attachment as i did Yesterday. I'd trade every day so far this year just to have yesterday and do it again. It was just Amazing. IP: Logged |

It's affecting me positively and negatively. I'm in the middle of a break up war. I can't decide whether to leave my boyfriend (because we're just too incompatible and I'm just too tired to keep trying) and go after the guy I've always loved (secretly) for years and years and years.
Before the retrograde, things with my boyfriend just got progressively worse and worse and worse, I tried to break up with him but my sensitivity to his feelings gets in the way and I ended up staying with him. The other guy poured his heart out to me and told me how much he loved me, my company, wants to be with me, etc...after I'd been waiting for him to say this for 2 years! He finally said it, honestly. I'd never been happier then Retrograde happened...
And my boyfriend and I are in *perfect* harmony again. And the other guy, appears to have gone *aquarian* ice king on me and just doesnt seem to want me around much, or talk to me, or anything like that. Does Mercury retro cause minds to change at the drop of a hat? Cuz if so then maybe this is the truth I'm seeing and that things are "workable" with my boyfriend and that the other guy isn't worth leaving him for.

That's almost exactly what happened to me too alannabelle. The retrograde hit and it's like someone flipped a switch and turned the tides. I'm so terrified that he's changed his mind I was anticipating that we would be hanging out a lot this week and reconnecting and what not... but... it's all gone to sh*t... so it seems. IP: Logged |

Yep I'm really noticing it this time - I keep fluctuating feeling positive about my relationship one day and negative/fearful about it the next. Could also be this Cappy full moon Lunar stand-still business -my moon's in Capricorn.I've decided to wait and see how I feel when Merc goes direct again. All was fine before it went retro! I felt fine, things felt good and like they were really going somewhere. Then all of a sudden 'HALT! Reverse, quick march!" God I hope it's all put back to normal again after the 29th! IP: Logged |

Do you think that if you have a strong Mercury in synastry or the composite, then the Mercury retrograde will hit you harder?I have to check the composite, but off the top of my head, I know we have Mercury conjunct Mars (1 orb). I'm Mercury, he's Mars. They say that aspect can be positive or negative, depending on the rest of the chart (ours is overwhelmingly good). Cardinalgal, alanabelle... is Mercury strong in your synastry too? Perhaps it's debilitated and thats why the retrograde causes a communication breakdown... Is Mars conjunct Mercury considered debilitated? (edited to add - we have mercury conjunct mars and venus in the composite chart...) IP: Logged |

I ran a stop light at lunch... slowly and right in front of a cop. Remarkably he didn't pursue me.Then at the gas station I went to pay at this island machine they have, and it tells me that my pump is in use. Hmmmm... How could that be? Tried it (free gas would be nice). Didn't work. The guy at pump 10 calls me to talk to the attendant inside where he mistakenly paid $20 toward my pump. I went. They sorted it out quickly... well, somewhat quickly. Then I went to the grocery store, and the power was out. It was an usual lunchtime experience I must say. IP: Logged |
