Forgot to mention: it's not all mobile phone related with rMerc for me  A few days ago someone knocked on my door, said he was the landlady's son and came to measure the water gauge. Didn't trust the guy one bit because I hadn't heard from the landlady that she needed to get those numbers, so I blew him off with a lousy excuse. A day or two later, landlady calls to say they're swinging by to get those numbers, and who shows up but that same man! I was ashamed to say the least, I really absolutely didn't trust him while he was just being helpful! Oh, and local news today: butcher started a riot in his street by (for some reason they don't explain) punching a few foreign-origin locals on their faces (really! Why does one do that anyway?). Now he doesn't want to show his face on tv out of fear of retribution. They know what street the riot was in, surely there can't be that many butchers in one street, especially since the foreign-origin people who live in that area are more likely to buy their meat from a halal butcher, who is not as likely to punch people of his own origin in their faces? (sorry if I sound offensive to anyone, I mean nothing but respect to people of said origin, it's just that they really do tend to be grouped together in areas, but not always because they wanted to) Wouldn't those who want retribution have already found this butcher? Misinterpretation, misunderstanding, sounds rMerc to me... Oh yeah, and since I haven't been following the news but heard bits and bobs... What's that about riots in the UK? ------------------

That's what I think too. Surely someone mature enough will be able to respond when I ask who's calling instead of hanging up. As long as they don't bother me through the night I'm not too phased about it, but I am still curious as to who it is. But well, as long as they use a private number and say nothing, I won't be able to find out. Shame.But apparently, 5 phone calls or 15 texts within two hours, is already officially considered harassment by the local police. They really seem to take that seriously, I wonder how they would see two teenagers incessantly texting each other ------------------

I lied. I still HATE Mercury Retrograde. I have this old Toshiba laptop thats been functioning since I got it Christmas 2006 but now the electrical power cord is malfunctioning because its RIPPED in a crucial place (I can see the sparks coming out of it). So sometimes its charging my battery, and other times its not. I have a feeling it could only downhill from here. If it were ANY other time, I would be just mad....but right now I'm LIVID that this decides to happen about 3 days before my boards when I NEED to use my CD with the questions on it to study. Didn't want to make things worse by tossing my computer against the wall, so I decided to toss everything else in sight instead.  IP: Logged |

Without wanting to jinx it... Merc Rx has actually been beneficial to me for once! Normally horrible.. Horrible things happen hahaI have found paperwork that I had lost before, things that were delayed in starting have now started flowing forward, I have become more organised/sorted out paperwork. I feel like I am finally going forward and becoming unstuck after the last few months of mental blockage! What the?! This doesnt feel like Merc Rx!!! IP: Logged |

By any chance, do you have t.Jupiter around your n.Mercury? Right now, I have t.Jupiter conjuncting n.Mercury, and so far <knock on wood!> things are going smoothly. Maybe some beneficial aspect is at work? Just guessing here. I'm still learning... IP: Logged |

All the people with their horror stories here, lol. It's bad Mercury mojo (!)
Look at the house that t. Rx Mercury is in and take this as an opportunity to redo, reorganize, reevaluate, recondition (manipulate yourself in a good way), rehearse, all the lil re- verbs are what you want to do with regard to that house.t. Rx Merx is in my first and I'm gonna go over the image I want to put across and do some Leo like things so am gonna alter items in my closet that don't suit, reassess what items belong there. H1 is image and all matters pertaining to your looks, for one. If it's your 2nd you could organize your wallet as h2 rules personal resources. If you want to change banks it's a good time to do research on what other banks offer to see whether your money would be better off at another institution. If it's in the 8th go over your will and assess investment opportunities. No new actions, just gutting out and going over things. IP: Logged |

oh lord, Lonake, of course, it went retro EXACTLY on my Saturn. i was always the "optimist" when i came to Mercury retro, but this one is seriously beating me up!! important parcels going missing, companies screwing up things with me, my relationship just, it suddenly got really painful and horrible, misunderstanding about the information about the flat i wanted to look at, etc, etc. i'm at wit's end!they are all drinking equally heavily for my stress chaos party, but this UK company... it's called Cookson Group, it's "reputed", it's big, it's supposed to be a good company, they have been treating me like a PEST for absolutely no apparent reason than that I'm ordering from outside UK. it makes NO SENSE! i just wanted to ask a question, and it's like they all agreed behind my back "let's ditch and let down this b!tch".

^ Yea no kidding t.Merc is opp t.Neptune
And both are RX!
I wonder what houses they fall in for you?
So don't forget about Neptune! You have my sympathies; it's only gonna last a bit of time. Merc is retro for less than a month. It turns direct at 18 Leo on 8/27. http://www.planetwatcher.com/ But it's gonna be a while (next yr) before Neptune moves into Pisces  I don't have t.Neptune opp Saturn exp (never will) but I found this,
"You might find yourself losing your resolve or determination to take care of business and get things accomplished." So it's def a testing period for you, no doubt.
I think Neptune's an evil lil bugger (sshhh, or else I won't get the cotton candy sweets from him, lol). Wait, this one is better,
quote:
Neptune Square or Opposite Saturn© 2004 Curtis Manwaring Neptune Square Opposition Saturn Transiting Neptune square or opposite your natal Saturn. This is a time when the structures of your life are collapsing, and what you have come to rely upon becomes unreliable. Authority lacks certainty and the chain of command becomes labyrinthine. Most people's reaction to this is to become fearful and anxious. In fact, because Saturn represents agnoia (the lack of knowing), this transit represents one of the most primal fears of all - the fear of the unknown (Neptune represents avoidance). You are likely to feel disoriented until these changes subside. If Saturn is lord of your 1st house, you are probably in the midst of an identity crisis now, especially if you were born at night. There is a tendency to not be aware of who one is. Rarely, one might literally not know who they are as the result of amnesia. You may not feel too sure of yourself. If lord of the 2nd, you are prone to misplace things and lack good financial planning and accounting now. There is lack of certainty regarding money matters. If lord of the 3rd, often it is a time of isolation and solitude. Depression my be hard to ward off. You may feel disoriented while running errands around town. If lord of the 4th, your supports may be shaky now and your personal life in disarray. The foundation for your life may be crumbing around you and you may have to lay a new foundation. If lord of the 5th, this is not a good time for speculation or investments. You may get nothing in return. Love is often not returned. If lord of the 6th, a chronic illness may leave you vulnerable. If you have problems now, it is likely to be with bones, teeth or joints. You may be on disability for a while or be unable to work for extended periods of time. If lord of the 7th, your partner may disappoint you in a profound way during this period. You may not see your mate for who he/she really is. If lord of the 8th, be careful to do your taxes accurately or you may be subject to audit. Financial partnerships prove unproductive or dammaging to your credit. If lord of the 9th, you will go through a profound change in your beliefs during this period. Much of what you thought was true about the world turns out to be false. If lord of the 10th, be careful about your reputation now and how others perceive you. You may be set up for a fall or disgrace. Career success may have little meaning for you now and you may wish to retire or resign. If lord of the 11th, you social circle will probably widen now as you come into contact with many different kinds of people you wouldn't have before. Your friends may disappoint you. If lord of the 12th, You may be inundated with alot of unfinished business. Ghosts from the past haunt you.

Lonake~~~ thanks for the info, yes that tNeptune is a meany! it's been shaking me from the root since a few years ago and getting worse as the opposition to my Saturn gets tighter and tighter! interesting that the article mentions "fear". i won't get into the detail but the recent events and my childhood trauma paired up and made me into a complete recluse, filled with fear. i have a difficult time with daily activities. i'm planning to go to a therapist.anyway, my Saturn is in my 9th house. it's an important house because i have a Sagittarius Stellium with AC and Sun included. Saturn rules my 2nd house. i had to laugh when i read this... quote:

Yep, in about 30 seconds my computer is going to die because the power cord no longer charges the battery. No money in my bank account to pay for a new one until Tuesday. Great timing.
On a more mundane note: I've been recovering in the most 'timely' of fashions from the removal of my infected Wisdom Tooth (yes, this is sarcasm). I found myself taking percocet about 5 days after they said I wouldn't need to anymore and even now, I still feel a weird pressure near my ears. No, its definitely not dry socket (Wouldn't be typing if it was) but its an irritating thing to be dealing with about 2 days before my boards. I attempted working about twice since the surgery and I made it through the whole shift each day too, but I was also plagued with jaw pain I needed warm pack for AND that stupid pressure.

ok i jinxed it. this morning i spilt coffee all over my lap top. i have been so careful lately it was almost surreal when it happened. as this same thing happened a few years ago i knew to turn itthe lap top off straight away to make sure the motherboard didnt get fried. all good except some buttons dont work like my shift, ctrl, alt keys, and the 0 and enter key on the number pad of the keyboard, as well as arrows. i cant capitalise without using capslock. ARRRRGH1111 oh and as neither shift button works i cant use exclamation marks anymore. ;9 ... or write smiley faces. argh argh aargh111111111111111 lol IP: Logged |

there have been two libra's that i haven't spoken to in a while that wanted to get in touch again all of a sudden.. one through email and one through running into them in person.. the second, no biggie, they're partnered and happy so the conversations stay platonic.. the other one? i think may be a little nutty and wants to act as if we're suddenly best friends but they have mercury in scorpio and try to get off the phone early if the conversation is going smooth as if it was some sort of control tactic and then when they're ignored, they're all roses and everything.. so i really feel as if soon enough, i'm going to take their email address and add it to the blocked senders thing on my filter so that i don't get much from them ever again.. the only good thing is that i hear about open jobs from that person so i'm using them.. what would not be ok, is if we both got similar positions because we went to a job fair together.i'd be wiling to break ties w that person.. they don't sound as if they're in their best state of mind, not for one sec! though i'm sure i've had my own moments, my own moments haven't been theirs and i love myself, always! so,.. mercury, u know i try not to judge, and i cherish you dearly, i just have experienced some solar return twelfth house things in the past and this upcoming one has libra in the twelfth along with some of scorpio but still, that person there makes me very uncomfortable and i think you know that so please advice me as to what i should do and not turn it around on me and put me in a similar situation for 'judging', which is not what i'm doing.. i just don't trust them about as far as i wouldn't even wanna throw them because i don't wanna touch em!

well well, it's done in less than a week now, phew!!i was thinking though that "people from the past" doesn't show up during retro Mercury for me, but i was wrong! an old casual lover/friend from some years back, wanted to chat with me after he found me through Facebook. he moved across the globe and now lives in Taipei! it was nice to have the memory of this rascal brought back. he was a spontaneous weirdo Aqua, and totally spontaneously got back in touch with me. i love friends like this, very low maintenance. lol IP: Logged |

A storm hit my town(my neihbor's yard even caught on fire for a while from falling electrical wires and tree brances all over the street, a fireball flew out of one of my other neighbor's house, tree brances fell on houses and cars too)...had a brown out for a few days...my power has been back on for a few hours...BUT one of our internet box thingys is fried...so I'm mooching off of some random persons internet. But lets just say Merc retro in Leo has been very dramatic...and has really been going out with a bang literally!!! It's in the shadow period now yes?
