hi guys

wanted to ask how this Mercury Retrograde and eclipses , full moon affected you personally?

for me, it deff affected me emotionally, physically and mentally. i noticed that alot of my past traumas came to surface, and played out in my reality. it was helpful that i have the awareness WHY this is happening, as opposed to being blind by it all. awareness helped me to observe what was going on objectively, instead of taking it personally. there was alot of anger coming up for me. it felt like i was PMS'ing all through it lol... and i wanted to scream, throw something out the window or something. it was intense for a few days!!

it also affected me physically. i noticed that i had a few body aches here and there...and i was mostly tired (exhausted feeling) like my body was stuck somewhere and i had to drag myself around. i had low energy through this retrograde

mentally, due to the emotional triggers from past traumas i am currently working on... anxiety plagued my mind mentally. my mind felt like it was going haywire on some days, where thoughts kept looping over and over for a few days. then it would go away, then a few days later, it would come back.

my dreams were also VERY strange. felt like i was being chased. and i don't like those sort of dreams lol

curious to hear what your experiences were during this 'cleansing' and letting go time.

For me, the eclipse brought back a person from my past, but since it happened with Mercury retrograde, who knows if he'll stay, cause honestly I think this was the biggest test for me, I guess I'm not that over him, cause this was about letting go which I thought I did with last eclipse early this year, but I guess not.
That same day I started to feel it in my body which I can feel until today, week body, occasional sweats, headache, even today I'm struggling with this I'm starting to believe I have dengue fever again ugh.

I haven't read the full thread yet, so just answering the initial question:

This was an intense period, but it showed me my own strengths very much.

I began a new business over the summer that was really taking off, and we had high hopes for it. In the beginning of the Rx period, we made the final round of a 10 million investment competition to support the company.

Persistent throughout the three weeks, I had weird feelings. I was uneasy that there was something not quite right.

I applied for my visa to stay in the netherlands during this period as well. it wasn't an easy process and weird things definitely happened throughout (Immigration somehow lost my application packet, then found it last night, stuff like that), but it's now being processed which is good.

Financially things were not much better, but that is something I know is turning around in my life.

Then, out of nowhere, our developer for our business quit. She had a meltdown over the pressures of the competition and bailed and hasn't replied to our emails. That happened on the eclipse.

This whole past week has been a scramble for the three of us owners of the company, desperately reaching out and trying to find someone to take over the development of our app with us.

But, it has shown a light on the strength of the three of us remaining - and our passion for this to work out. I feel confident, stronger, and very very in sync with whatever the universe wants. I believe that our developer probably had some personal issues that would have eventually been the downfall for the three of us once we launched fully. So I trust that this happened for a reason.

I go into the direct period feeling very head strong .... but way more cautious than I went in.

I started looking at my friends differently and enjoying my space from them even more; began questioning their logic a lot more, beliefs, etc. Or rather MY beliefs changed. I also wondered if anyone found themselves frustrated with their fashion style during this retrograde since Virgo is about health / beauty. My makeup was always spot on but my clothes not so much and I found myself moving slower in the mornings.

hi cappi,

great observation with what was happening to you. i also agree that your employee left for a good reason. that's a wonderful way of flipping the negatives, into positives.

good luck with your business dreams! and thanks for sharing your retro/eclipse experiences.

ps. ... i had problems with paperworks too. my job's HR department was moving in snails pace processing paperwork, and a couple of emails was unread. it was a bit frustrating...but things are starting to move now.

hi hanna,

needing space from friends has been an ongoing process for me way before the retrograde. so it's nothing new at my end.

there was a time over the weekend where i was not happy with my appearance at all. i was hyper focused on my HAIR! i don't know why, i was never a nitpicker over these sort of things! haha

This retrograde was kinda cool...
I reconnected with my ex during the pre shadow period and more so during the retrograde period... seems we both still have feelings and I def needed to know this! We had some freakouts/communication problems in the past and I think the saturn retro combined with this retro (reconnecting) help me with all of it. We did speak today so I'm hoping this lasts past the influence turning direct! I'm hopefully that this brought us back and made us re-think everything . We've both been moving slowly, part of the influence, but I'm partly grateful, since ive been more observant and feel like i know him even better now...

Financially, I finished paying off a debt and i feel so relieved! Now its time to save more!

I also got more settled into my home and garnered some good alone time... some communications issues for sure and a fight with a friend but we will see how it all pans out...
I also had some tough spots at work but those seems to have smoothed out even a few days before todays direct station!

Yes please do!

I think mine was due to Venus in Libra in wide opp. to Uranus in Aries which falls in my 11th (both transiting planets, not natal) Venus is moving into Scorpio so I wonder if I will cut people off or hold onto them. I only have a few left, but damn, the urge to purge is strong.

You know I reconnect to someone too during this time, feels weird knowing this could be Mercury Retro and then when it goes direct everything can change :/

We actually reconnected before mercury turned retro and had been slowly but surely It just got more intense during the retro period I think it was more the eclipse influence too. (16th of Sept)

PLUS you don't really know if it will change, but the retro allows you to look back etc and see if the decision you made was right etc. Since mercury turned direct and you still WANT this person in your life... then make it so! That's what it allows you to do, explore things and either tie up loose ends or keep it moving. This was said to be a pretty good mercury retro

So it might be a save one if it started before retro motion, for me it started one day before the eclipse that fell in conjunction to my natal moon, I felt it even in my body, since he's been in and out my life for a year and a half, its been hard.

Thanks, you're right, I don't know what might happen, let's see what Mercury direct brings.

Here Arees - read this http://astrologyking.com/mercury-retrograde/

Apparently this one was promising for lovers.. so it may give you some insight on the eclipses. by the way, which one were you referring to? Sept 1 or 16? I felt the sept 16th one very much internally, had lots of emotions around the transit and even the elements were trying to tell me something it felt like.
