Well I usually LIKE mercury retro, its brings people from the past running back into my life- sometimes good, sometimes bad.Had a major detour monday coming home from work when merc and neptune were both stationary retro. So funny, didn't relate it to these retros til I read the above article. I usually take a shortcut home, but when I got there (5kms from work) the ENTIRE BRIDGE was under construction, so I ended up going 25kms out of my way and back into peak hour traffic so it took me an extra half an hour to get home. Lucky I live in the country, if I lived in the city such traffic dramas woulda taken up much much more than just an hour... UNFORTUNATELY the south node is hovering near my natal moon in leo, and merc has just sextiled it before going retro. As neptune is retro also, it will go back to oppose my moon also. UNFORTUNATELY my asc is 14deg gem, so merc is retro in my 1st house but will wander back into the 12th before going direct again. I don't particularly enjoy merc in my 12th... LUCKILY my natal mars is at 22deg cancer, so its being left alone- until jupiter goes direct again and opposes it, but I don't mind this transit Jupiter will actually go back into my 7th house before it turns direct so maybe my love life will perk up! NOT SURE how my 3deg pisces sun and 10deg pisces venus will be affected, but hopefully it'll be fine. Merc retro also seems to enhance my communication, lol  IP: Logged |

Oh my God I'm so glad to have an EXPLANATION for the RIDICULOUSLY MIXED UP communications I've been getting on an important 'issue' lately... Mercury is retrograding over my Venus (and yes it's a 'love' issue)... and my third house is ruled by Aquarius, so oh my GOD let me tell you I feel the retrograde Neptune in that house lately... the communications have just been so... vague... and fuzzed-out... actual MESSAGE not getting through to me... At least I know I'm not alone in this.  IP: Logged |

Wheels. come and join Zala and I under the table. You can spend the £5.62 on a bottle of wine. Two Cancerians free of charge are supplied plus that poor Gem with Virgo rising. Bless!! Both Z and I have Leo rising and an Aluminium hat. We are fearless in the face of adversity.

Bunnies, dude, you saved my life, Gem moon, Virgo rising, Mercury in the 3rd house... waaah!We can pretend we're in the war and make Spam and Powdered Egg Suprise (the surprise being there's no Spam or powdered egg). It'll be ace. Only thing is that Zala's a vampire, so I'll get some garlic out of the change from the Liebfraumilch. You can get 7 bottles for a fiver down Lidl. 32% proof. Never let it be said I'm norra proper lady like innit. I did have a comunications meltdown myself this morning and yapped about Mercury retrograde to a load of bemused and frankly disinterested colleagues (I was not put off - I reckoned that was part of the whole phenomenon, not being able to get my ideas across). Until I realised I'd tapped in a telephone rather than a fax number in the fax machine. Did I ever feel like a tw** or what! IP: Logged |

well, at 9pm, me and a friend decided to get to the airport in madrid with the last metro because the flights were too early for the first metro. in the crowded train, just 8 hours before the flight we got robbed, despite we were being cautious of thieves there. i got my coin purse taken, and... they got his passport, driver's license and the bank card, and he had recently put the sheet of paper with code together with it for some reason (stupid). but the most stupid part was that... he had maybe like 20 euros on his account.i always wonder though, together me and him look very bummish. we were carrying bags stuffed with broken keyboard and stuff like that (band equipments) and wearing clothes we found in a squat house and going without showering for days. but for some really super odd reasons, homeless and beggers always come asking for our last pennies we were going to buy one coffee with to share (and of course we feel obliged to give up our coffee for the poor guy. but i bet they have more money than we do though sometimes...). sometimes we even sing in the metro to make extra coins. now these robbers, it was 2 men and 2 women team, flocked around in a perfect teamwork, to rob us of my coin purse with 10 euros and his bank card with 20 euros, PLUS his passport and drivers license so it was highly possible he was not able to fly without personal identifications!! to make the matter worse he had to be back in his country for an appointment to receive financial support and if he didn't make it this time they were gonna cut it and he would have to go live on the street! for a couple of hours we tried to recover his documents, for it was likely that the robbers tossed them in trash. but no success. it was almost the time to catch the last train and a friend says, "hey you still got time for a quick beer, it's on me, it's the last night together, let's try to have a good time despite all" and we got dragged into having one beer. we chugged it down and went to the train, and at the second transfer the metro closed and we got stranded... our spanish is rather poor and we walked around and waited around and was taken to different places by different transportation methods, for 4 hours all night through, because everyone said take this bus no take a cab from here no this doesn't go to the airport etc. etc... an hour before his flight, at the airport we found out that if he's flying back to his own country, if he files a police report he can take the flight. relief and rejoice, never in our lives we had been so happy to go see a face of a policeman! so that took like 30 minutes and then he went... after this, plus a couple of additional factors that made everything even more problematic, i took my own flight that required a total of 19 hours of traveling, i finally arrived the country where my mother is and i called her. she said, "OH MY GOD i was worried to death that something might have happenned to you!! mercury's retrograde!!"

lechien...you poor love. That is a terrible story. You need to come under the table with Zala, wheels and I and we shall bond over Spam and Egg surprise, bottles of 32% alcohol and as a special treat I shall nick a pack of Bratwurst from Lidl. How those 25 days will fly by. And when we emerge blinking into the sunlight Mercury will be round the right way again and all will be well with the world xx

bunnies... wheels...  Thank you for making my days!! Aqua sun/merc/mars here... but bf is a lovely Cancer sun... thank goodness he knows I'm a total nutter and is very good at getting to the bottom of my ramblings... And strangely enough, when normally this would probably be a "I realized I want to ditch him and move on" for me, I've actually ditched a lot of other crap that I've been clinging to like a safety net in favor of moving forward with this relationship... Now I know why!! Crazy, wonderful, but it's only day two... IP: Logged |

bunnies, 32% alcohol is just what i need! but you have to replace spam and wurst with vegetarian substitute i'm afraid... oooow but i cannot see another baguette for another half a year that was all i was munching on during the traveling in the past 3 weeks! i'll go check lidl if they got something nice everyone can munch on, ok?

Everyone's welcome under the table! And look, AQUA is prepared to sit atop...and act like a lightening conductor. And how kind of Gem to "volunteer" a Cancerian. Now Gem, we will not be running anywhere but we will throw the Virgo...just for the heck of it! I can picture us now. Spam and egg surprise in one hand, bottle of 32% liquor in the other, aluminium hat at a jaunty angle and singing that well loved football ditty "Come and get us if you think you're hard enough!!! Oh happy days.IP: Logged |

I've had a couple of weird things happen the past few days. Firstly i burnt the toast on Monday,'cuz it wasn't brown enough,i put it back in the toaster and got distracted and forgot about it and nearly caught the kitchen on fire,which is really not like me at all. Secondly i've had two strange occurrences today of feeling disconnected from my body almost an OBE on a weaker scale,i'm kinda wondering whether that's a Neptune retro in Aqua thing going there,deffinately weird!! Also been stung with a large and unexpected bill. Bunnies,can i borrow your tinfoil hat?

Ive been extremely moody this week and yeah my relationship is over for good! ------------------ ASC: Virgo Sun: Cancer Moon: Gemini Mars: Cancer Mercury: Cancer Venus: Leo IP: Logged |

Now AQUA...you have to bring something to the table!! (I've always wanted to use that phrase!) And you have to supply your own tin foil hat. I have made mine with two wings representing the wing-ed messenger which I thought was a contemporary take, showing nicely my offbeat Aquarian personality.Prizes will be given for the most original efforts and may I suggest using turkey foil (you get a much better coverage).
