Well, I think Mercury retrograde is affecting me personally for once. It's making me a little paranoid, and there probably isn't reason to be paranoid.IP: Logged |

quote: Right now, Mercury is in charge of just about every planet in the sky, either directly or via his rulership. That means this is going to be a super DOOZY of a Mercury retrograde. Our Gemini and Virgo friends will be particularly hard hit with trickster energy. However, Capricorns and Aquarians will definitely feel the impact of Mercury’s retrograde as Saturn is in Virgo, ruled by Mercury.
Ahhh...I see now. That's probably why this one has gotten to me. IP: Logged |

I try not to give myself reason to be paranoid, and in this case I made a flub that I don't think anyone cares about whatsoever, but internally it caused havoc.It started with me saying something while feeling vulnerable, and then it escalated when I accidentally messaged my whole Improv group a private response to a note one of my fellow players sent me in private. No one has said a thing about my accidental messaging of the whole group, and in that message I didn't say anything I would be embarrassed about, but whereas I might have been over my moment of weakness if I had just kept my mouth shut in the first place, that accidental messaging seemed to keep me feeling vulnerable. I think I'm about over it now. IP: Logged |

So this is what "Mercury Retrograde" is! That explains the new and interesting situations that have popped up lately in my life...Dating -- and actually really getting along with -- a Sagittarius girl, having fun hanging out with a Pisces girl who is the best friend of my Scorpion ex-girlfriend who seemed to be averse to me only a month ago, temptations and negative energies at work, finding new places to play at, finding this website with all its great people, finalizing break-up with my Scorpion ex-gf... Damn, now this is life! So exciting, so many tumultuous emotions... I don't know what is it with me, but I just seem to face them head-on, grind and toil in them, suffer and ache while doing it all, and come home at the end of the day completely exhausted, but so contented and satisfied, and yet I wasn't ever sure why. :P Sense of achievement, maybe. I always thought I was sort of a lazy person, and all the Pisces-related astrological articles I've read indicated that Pisces are dreamy and can be somewhat disconnected from reality... In any case, thank you for the article.  ------------------ Sun: Pisces Moon: Scorpio Mercury: Aries Venus: Aquarius Mars: Pisces Jupiter: Cancer Saturn: Virgo Uranus: Scorpio Neptune: Sagittarius Pluto: Libra Lilith: Leo Asc node: Virgo From ]http://cafeastrology.com IP: Logged |

All I can say to Uranus is... Uranus!! I am not even testing my luck with this transit - just in case. Instead I am using it to tie up loose ends. I am thinking of going to the optometrist tomorrow. I almost got sucked into signing papers (or discussions that pertain to finalizing stuff) and I post-poned that meeting for 30th June onwards. Today... funny thing happened. AG, you had a accidental messaging. Today was my turn.  Well, I had changed my email name (nic) to Freddie Mercury yesterday because I was fooling around with a friend who also changed his email name to something weird. Then I went to sleep without changing it back. I wake up today, get fresh and clean and feed myself then head for my inbox. This very very important email comes in, the one whose meeting I postponed for next month, and thinking that I am sending the email to my guy (rep), I send an official business email directly to the person , when I was supposed to send it through a mediator - because my guy had forwarded the email to show me exactly what was said.... but that's not mess up. The funny thing is that I send the email as Freddie Mercury.  This is so funny. After realizing it, I was in a state of panic, then I sent another email explaining my blunder without changing it back to my real name (this was still when I was thinking it was my guy I was speaking to) Then I finally changed it to my real name and decided to make calls instead and get as far away from the computer as possible. So I called my guy and just told him the error and asked him to relay the message to whoever was concerned. They wanted to meet next week and I just told them that NO CAN DO. I didn't even motivate my response. I almost did, and if I had, I would have sent an email talking about Mercury rx to an industry exec making myself look more of a nutter than I already look...

I think email communications or any communications that a person can not read another's mood, should be avoided. So, I am talking via phone calls or face to face. I am not even texting people. Basically, I am taking more precautions where there is likely to be misunderstandings. I have had my fair share of those already and the Rx is still young. Hopefully things will fall into place after the Rx. It's worse in business because acquaintances do not know a person well, so no one asks. They just assume you're being an a$$ and move on. I have been having computer problems. I upgraded my modem (USB) and ever since, every time I download something, the machine shuts down/crashes. I fix one thing and something else goes wrong, so I will fix that also at the end of the the month. IP: Logged |

I'm having problems with my digital phone service. I'm having some remodeling done on my house, and need to coordinate with 4 different contractors to do different things. But when I didn't hear back from any of them this week, I called and ALL said they've been calling my number - which they all confirmed - but getting no answer, not even my voice mail. Infuriating - this has postponed the remodeling almost three weeks because of the communication breakdown! Grrrrrrrr.Also I've been getting a lot of wrong numbers from businesses returning their customers/clients' calls. At least I've tried to be nice and call these businesses back to tell them they called and left a message at the wrong number. IP: Logged |

Ohhh...phone problems...that reminds me:Last night I was asleep, and I was awoken to what I thought was the sound of beeping. I look up at my phone, and it's lit up indicating visually that it's ringing (I don't recall hearing it ring after I woke up). I jump out of bed to go get it. When I answer, I'm pretty sure the voice on the other end was already talking. I think it was a computerized message, and I thought it said something about unusual activity on my account or something. There was a number to call, but I was in no state to remember such a thing. It stopped. It was over. I hung up. And then I was paranoid that maybe one of my accounts was being messed with, so I started up my computer. I checked both accounts I have ATM cards for, and nothing seemed out of place. I checked again today, and things still look fine. I have no idea what that call was about, or why it happened at nearly 1:00 am. IP: Logged |
