So, I already posted in forum few days before that I met a guy online and we have long term goals that are same. And that we both gel really nicely and he wants to meet me in person and it has been just a week...

And without even knowing that it was mercury retrograde I made an account on a site and it was really spontaneous and I don't know what I was thinking and it freaked me out and I met him.

Anyways so coming at the main question, meeting a new person during mercury retrograde... why???? Does it have any significance?? Should I or can I expect anything from this in the long haul? Is it karmic or something???

A lot of people will say not to start anything during Mercury in retrograde for the fact that Mercury RX is like a pebble in a slingshot being pulled farther and farther back, and when it goes direct again you may change your mind i.e. that pebble is released and hurdles forward. Mercury RX is a reminder to dot your i's and cross your t's or you'll see consequences for it is all. BUT don't let that stop you from following something you feel is right.

Yeah I agree with you... i won't let it stop me. I go with the flow. IDK why but I am trying to not expect anything from this but I have a gut feeling it is here to stay. And after mercury goes direct it will continue. But seriously hannaramaa it was really unexpected and spontaneous for me. Like I was surfing and i went through the account and immediately we met like he was waiting for it and i made it for this. That's why I was curious as to why during mercury rx! I came to know abt merc rx like 2 days ago. hahaha... maybe it is karmic!!!

@hannaramaa have you ever met someone during merc rx... nothing romantic (only potential romantic) and what was your experience?

Yes, last time (for the first time) I had an ex of sorts come back from the past. He was trying to hit on me, and then "tried" to be my friend the next day and I wasn't having it. It lasted four days 😂

Ok, this is slightly personal but I want to put this out there for potential learning.

So, I have an exact total of 20 traffic citations. (nearly all speeding - mars on asc?) Nothing in the last 4 years.

Anyway, I wrote down the date of each and plugged in each date into Astro.

How many occurred during Mercury Rx?

NONE

Yep. Blew me away.

I definitely notice things when mecury is retrograde. Like little electronic glitches, delays, and etc. But I don't let it slow me down. Full speed ahead.

Mercury RX does not stop life from happening and meeting new people.

I'm going on two dates this week with people I do not know (online dates).

Not worried at all that Mercury is RX.

I'll update you with how they go.

But yeah I agree, I mostly encounter electronic break downs and people's cars breaking down etc...

But when Venus is RX, that is another story.
