Yes, it was right after the Iron Curtain fell and we were watching "Non e la Rai" with Ambra and many others, we were fascinated. Good times  Is reminiscing a Mercury retrograde type of thing?  IP: Logged |

That's my brother's advice lol. And yeah, I'm starting to hate kids too.. 'cept my friend's kids, they're sweeties. So glad for Merc rx. I have it natally and I feel like I can think more clearly during the transiting rx! ------------------ "I am not absentminded.

Retrograding Mercury is 2-3 orbs past the conjunction it's making to my natal Mercury. No machinery malfunctions here but I was just not noticing certain things and not hearing people talking to me. Scary. Totally off in my own little world, more so than usual.IP: Logged |

Everyone on god's green earth is trying to contact me while I'm trying to sleep today. Text message wakes me up at 7:30, take a nap around 11 and my cell phone goes off at 11:20, continue trying to nap and the doorbell rings at 11:45... I DON'T WANT HUMAN INTERACTION! I WANT TO CATCH SOME Zs. NO ONE WANTS TO CONTACT ME WHEN MERCURY IS DIRECT, DAMN IT!IP: Logged |

Bahahahaha! Are these by any chance people you were directing your temporary extroversion at? They might be like, "Oh, Mr. Cancer's finally out of his shell, I'm gonna call him up for a sympathetic ear at 2 in the morning.."

Rofl... The 7:30 wake up text was. I was texting my crazy ex that I'm still friends with last night and he decided that it'd be good to finally get back to me while he was on the train to work this morning. The doorbell was UPS, and my sister called from work probably to check to see if her package had arrived. I didn't answer the door and I haven't called/texted anyone back. Mr. Cancer is cranky and not in the mood.  IP: Logged |

Right now, retrograde Mercury is transiting my natal Neptune (which itself is station-direct in my natal, sextiling natal Venus/Pluto/Mars), and it's gonna keep retrograding all the way back to my ascendant at 3 Sagittarius (which is also square natal Saturn/Sun). Right close to where the recent Solar Eclipse just hit. All solidly in first house. (The retro-transit is also going to hit my natal Vesta and quincunx my Moon/Chiron conjunction).Oh yeah, it's manifesting. A creative project I've been on with several other friends just went completely to... well, one of my friends who are still with the project gave a very colorful picture of aiming and squeezing a marmoset at a fan... and we know what marmosets like to fling. Anyways... yeah. What happened was, another friend flaked (the director, I might add), and apparently when I got his side of the story, he decided to tell people still with the project that "I was on his side" and that I was gonna quit with him. (Which got a couple of my other friends into a small panic I think and set off a wave of texts)... and now that I have all sides of the story, plus word about previous incidents... yeah. Not so much buddy. Now I have no idea when or even if this is gonna finish up, if at all or if before next year around this time. (And who knows what I might even do this coming year, been thinking about moving from the area if I can finance it, dad's health depending). Just Mercury going to be retrograding back to right around the eclipse point alone I think is knocking things for a loop overall. IP: Logged |

Darn you Mercury!! Look at what havoc you wreak with your mischievous ways. Other planets aren't this annoying when they go bass-ackwards!Lol, ElizabethO...I do that even when it's direct...welcome to my world. FondueKnight: I got a random text yesterday, come to think of it - from someone I last talked to a year ago messaged me out of the blue . He has a Sun-Merc-Saturn conjunction in Sag and retro Merc in Sag is currently square my nSaturn...coincidence? Hmm lol IP: Logged |

I'm flying this Friday and coming back home on the 15th. Go figure I'd go on vacation at the very end of Mercury Rx. I can't wait to have my brain back. This Rx was really rough on me.IP: Logged |

Yes, usually I don't feel the Mercury retro with technology as much as communication. Merc Rx is in my 3rd conjunct my natal moon and all day at work I would answer questions or respond instinctively, without thinking, and it would come out the complete opposite of what I meant (e.g. I would be oking about something and it would come out petty or bitter). And I spent an hour on hold on the phone, etc. My mind feels like it's rolled up in a carpet and had a refrigerator sitting on it. IP: Logged |

I dunno if Mercury Rx has ever been harsher on me! Car problems galore... job... miscommunications/misunderstandings...Just one thing after another  It's in my 3rd house conjunct my Neptune at 9* and opposite my Mars (14*Gem), Square Pholus/Mercury/Jupiter (all conjunct in Pisces btw 3* and 8*)... CRAZY!!

Yesterday was just a Mercury. Retrograde. Right before Station. MESS. This one guy had transiting retrograde (about to station) Mercury affecting his natal Mercury, Venus, and Mars. He said all the wrong things and also could not seem to stop talking. Another one was having transiting retrograde (about to station) Mercury square his natal Mars. He actually had the nerve to drop in on me in my home (I'm having tMars to 4th House nMars) and we got into a major confrontation with tears on my part at some point and ended with him skulking out muttering about how I'm crazy when actually he is the crazy delusional one! Having retro/stationing Merc squaring his Mars, causing him to be stupid in his confrontations! I hope he will see his stupidity once Mercury goes direct. quote: Originally posted by Fondue Knight: They always come out of the woodwork during Merc Retro, don't they? 
Oh Em Gee. The one who dropped in on me was coming out of the woodworks after a period of silence lol. I bet he's having trouble finding a new date. IP: Logged |
