Just wanna share a weird, but compelling co-incidence: Retrograding Mercury has such a huge impact on my love life as I never experienced before. It is all about a very hurting break-up of a relationship of mine - we split last April, and it probably was a shock for both of us. We never talked since then.When Mercury went retrograde last Octobre (about half a year after the break-up), I felt such a STRONG need to get into contact to my Ex again, tell him that I "forgive" him and all ... a strong need to make peace. Luckily ... I behaved myself and was strong enough NOT to contact him then. That time in Octobre Mercury was moving backwards an then forward again between 22° Libra and 7° Libra. Now this time, Merucury just went into Retro-mode again these days, it started at the end of last week ... And this time, almost 9 months after the break-up, it was my EX who contacted me!!! He really sent me some sort of message!!! Totally surprising to me, and in a very weird and humble way. This time Mercury is moving backwards from 7° Aqua to 21° Capricorn in early Februrary, and then forward again. The turning points of Mercury on his foward/backward-motion are touching specific points in my own and in my Ex's chart. In October, when it was me who felt such a strong need to talk to him again, Mercury was wandering through my 11th house of high hopes, and my 11th in Libra is ruled by Venus. Mercury's retro-move started close to my Cupido (20° Libra) and came to a halt very close to my Sun/Moon-Midpoint (8° Libra) On its journey, it touched the following points in my chart
- Lovejoy
- Sun/Eros
- Venus/ASC (all at 16° Libra)
- Adonis (15° Libra) This time, as my Ex-boyfriend obviously is feeling some strong need to talk to me again and contacted me (I can't believe it), the first turning point of Mercury is conjunct his Juno (his Juno ist 5° Aqua, Mercury turned backwards at 7° Aqua), will cross his Moon/Neptune-Mp and will come to a halt again at his 5th house cusp. During the current retro-phase Mercury will oppose my Sun once more and will also cross my Venusia and draco Eros and draco Valentine. I haven't replied to his message until now - and I am curious how this will go on. I am rather sceptic, though. I am not sure whether I am willing to "mess around" with him again, in any way.

That's interesting about Mercury retro bringing people back.Transit Mercury is conjunct my Juno by 0* and yesterday I accidentally ran into someone I once knew, but in a busy street and so both kept going. It was a weird experience for me. I checked other tranists. Transit Uranus conjunct my Eros and transit Jupiter conjunct their Venus. That's all I could see that could explain the weird (but exciting) unexpected encounter. IP: Logged |

Hi Alvarella! I do remember reading your post and I'm so glad you were strong enough not to do the contact. What are his placements? Keep us posted!  IP: Logged |

SAVANNA, thanks for remembering! ;-)Here is his natal chart with the transits from Monday, the day he contacted me again after 9 months of silence. What seems most striking to me are several transit-aspects in the working for him, like:
- tr. Uranus mingling with his DSC
- tr. Uranus about to conjunct his Eros/Chiron-cj. in 7th again soon
- tr. Jupiter approaching his Juno (!)
- tr. Saturn in his 1st, currently opposing his Eros/Chiron-cj. in his 7th, soon going retro and conjuncting his ASC again
- tr. Mercury (now retro) mingling with his Juno
And this is our Composite with the transits for the same day:
 In our combined relationship chart (Davison), we currently have tr. North Node conjunct the combined Sun (combined Sun at 10° Aqua)

I seem to run into a lot more that I haven't seen in a while when Mercury is RX, plus my Venus is in Gemini so sometimes the people are old crushes...IP: Logged |

So I ran into my ex yesterday whom I hadn't seen for a while. And just like you Alvarella-I at some point, felt so strongly to do the contacting but was strong enough not to. He took the initiative yesterday to come up to me say hello-pulls me to hug him and stuttering-asked me dance. I didn't feel anything so I figured my heart is moving on. We'll see what happens...IP: Logged |

So, here's what happened for me so far (we're right amidst Mercury's retro-movement, so I guess things might take another turn - or mabye not): That EX-bf contacted me via a so called "socializing net" at the internet, where I have just opened an account of my own (not knowing that he had one there - he contacted me there just one day after I had opened my own thing there - spooky.). He wrote me an e-mail, said he wanted to know how I was...? (After 9 months of him having our relationship ended, in a nasty way then, really mean and all). I took my time ... pondering whether to respond at all ... after 2 days I did - with the clear feeling that I don't want to re-enter anything "flirtatious" with him or sth. I responded in quite a stern and collected way, I guess, told him: I am fine - and that I have no interest in fooling around via the internet after all that has happened. That he should come up with something of substance - or forget about this quickly - and that he should consider pushing the "delete"-button himself, if he was into "playing around" now. He replied in a sore way, haha - obviously was very disappointed by my sternness. He really sounded like being "sore" - and accused me of "destroying it all", in a way. This is again 2 days ago, I didn't reply to his latest lines. They seemed a bit stupid, in my impression - totally egocentric - this man was really rude and my best friends warned me to "let him in" again at all, and be it only via the internet. I must clearly say: I don't feel any "magic" anymore, not at all. (To my own surprise! But this thing obviously is really over. It just feels ... tyring and unneccessary now - and he obviously doesn't know what to say - and doesn't find the words to say "I'm sorry what happened" or anything like that.) Don't know ... should he make up his mind, should he want to say sth serious over the next few days ... he can. But if this is "hanging on" like this for more than ... say ... another week ... I'll delete his access to my socializing-network-account myself then.I am just about to start a new life, am about to move to another town in 4 weeks, start a new job there. Him contacting me now is definitely some sort of "last minute"-chance now. I won't take him with me into my new life there. I granted him this final chance - and I am open to listen to him - should he have sth to say. But he'd have to be a man about that now. Unfortunately ... he hasn't changed the slightest bit over the last 9 months, obviously. He just wants ... to test the water's temperature. I told him: It's quite cold in my pond for you, fella - unless you bring up sth that evokes my respect. And now ... he pulls back again. And I am fine with this.;-) IP: Logged |

Raaaarrrrrgh, alvarella - this all sounds very positive and you've obviously grown so much in understanding this situation (I think you were the one who was caught out still checking this man's transits and saying you weren't? - that made me laugh at the time - and you I recall).Hey, I'm really happy for you, even though I'm sure this is still sad/poignant for you at times. I had this happen to me last year ("light" contact from someone via the internet when it had ended very messily and with much hearbreak on my side). I was insulted enough by his mode of contact to be catapulted out of love with him forever. The veil was lifted. It's a random world eh? Good luck in your new job and move.  IP: Logged |

WHEELSOFCHEESE, thanks for your kind words! And for remembering this little story of mine - very attentive! ;-) Yup - aaarrrgh - I hang in there for long enough. The weird thing was (and still is): I knew he was kinda "spying me out" via the web ALL THE TIME (via my "official homepage", I could easily see his fixed office-IP-address amongst my "website-visitors" there all the time.) So: I can be pretty sure that SOMETHING has been working in his mind up until now as well... But what Ive written above is the plain truth: I am not sure ... if he had written to me sth like "I am sorry for what has happened, please, would you like to talk once more..." - who knows ... I probably might have agreed and tapped into that trap again. But he is as vain and egocentric as always - expects me to be "grateful" for his internet(!)-approach or what ...? This is SO easy and shallow and dull and childish and lukewarm ... that luckily that provokes no feeling but a nuisance within me.
In fact, I am so turned off that I evade being "logged in" there during his office hours. As I said above: I'm gonna give the Mercury-retro a chance ... letting this linger on for a couple more days ... and then ... will kick him out there again. SO silly that he approached me at all! Silly also that I agreed to that! (that's true.) On the other hand: What a wonderful and easy "cure" to see this shallowness once more - and so clearly.
Also I must admit: I kinda enjoy the feeling of being the one who has "the upper hand" now, haha. I hope that KARMA grants me that humble sort of "triumph" ....;-) I am NOT the revengeful kind or anything - and karma knows! I just told him what was on my mind. He is disappointed by that now ... well - I have been disappointed, too. That's it. So the story goes... IP: Logged |

There's nothing smug about that love. I like to think the Universe has granted you this position of strength because you had the wisdom to wait and not rush into contact with him again - contact which would have been detrimental to you, as it turns out. You had the sense not to listen to your neediness but to listen to the bit of you which was looking after your self-respect. Well done you. I am proud of you. I know we have not ad much contact on here, but I was thinking at the time "She sounds cool. I hope she listens to her Higher Self". You are clearly a strong person. IP: Logged |
