So Mercury went Pre-shadow March 26-27th, yesterday. Like clockwork all of a sudden people are experiencing a lot of no shows and cancellations. Mercury will go retro April 9th in Taurus which I feel will only reinforce the experience of delays and make people lazier about keeping appointments and communication lol. It ends May 3. http://www.astrologyhoroscopereadings.com/2017-mercury-retrograde-calendar.html The Two Levels of Mercury Retrograde Mercury retrograde occurs at two levels. At one level, there is not much you can do with the actions of others, except to be more conscious and prepare for delays and errors by double checking. But at the personal level you can do a lot in order to avoid the consequences of Mercury Retrograde. Most of us encounter the consequences when we are not centered, aware or conscious of what is going on around us, and more often than not the culprit is that we are not acting from our heart and spirit. Instead we are reacting from our needs, our hurts, from our buttons being pushed, or the way that we take care of others and not ourselves. In that way we act from our shadow, and that is what mercury retrograde is all about. Mercury Retrograde occurs when it is moving backwards, into its shadow, and thus communication, scheduling, transportation and judgment becomes cloudy or error prone. As much as outer work is challenged by Mercury Retrograde, introspection and inner work is very supported. Take advantage of Mercury Retrograde by clearing your own tendencies to get caught up in your own shadows and those of others. On the positive note I have been gaining a lot of valuable insight. If you seek to take advantage of this opportunity, I heartily recommend you consider getting this book: It is a direct and practical guide back to your core and greater becoming, without the fluff.

Timely. I've had my buttons really pushed, recently. Not going into it, but I'm wondering about the motivations of the person responsible. I don't understand it, have never understood it, and I wonder if I will ever find out the truth. It goes retrograde in my 7th, and will be in my SR. IP: Logged |

If shadow period is what I'm going to learn with this Mercury Retro, I guess the lesson is big, yesterday was all about how I want answers when it comes to love and I don't let things flow, that was all my discussion yesterday with someone who after that, disappear and hasn't answer my texts.I didn't thought I'd have anything to learn really this Mercury retro, last Mercury Retro I started a "relationship" that finished the same day Mercury finished this phase last year, timing was perfect, now knowing someone on Venus Retro looks like the same story and now with Mercury in shadow pfff.

Totally felt it today
Had to do a presentation and technology nearly failed just as it started. Took some effort to get it to start.

^ I think Venus in retro is causing some of that, Hypatia.That!, and people taking those antihistamines for spring-allergies? And some use antihistamine-type sleep-aids? Some meds are known to cause sleepwalking. Some are having less (or disturbed) sleep with Mercury-Uranus-Moon conjunction scintillating the air -- that was FIVE planets in Aries the other day? That's a lot of stimulating energy to handle? IP: Logged |

Same with me, just today I've been messing things up, though I guess recent events helped to be this way also but overall forgetful too. IP: Logged |

Similar experiences to teasel. Several people at work have been pushing my buttons in the communication department. I've been biting my tongue quite a bit, lately, and wondering what their motivations really are. Mercury Rx will be in my 3rd house.IP: Logged |

Things just keep getting worse. I should have bitten my tongue. Gemini Moon needs to talk: big mistake.

I got sick, too. I don't have a cold, but I couldn't wake up on Saturday, and by time I'd left the house that evening, realized that I had a fever. So I came home early, and the fever broke around 6am Sunday. I was still feeling off last night, but not so bad. I woke up all sweaty today, and hope that's the end of it. My period was like that in January and February. It arrived on time this month. I was in agony for a couple of days, and then as stress hit, it lightened considerably. Last year, it arrived on the day of mum's first big surgery, and I couldn't believe it (a week early). Someone lied to me the other night, about their reason for doing something. I found out yesterday. One or two others running around acting like batman villains (wtf??). I'm going to have Mercury and Saturn retro, in my SR, as well as Venus stationary direct. I do NOT want to be dealing with this sort of crap all year. I think some people assume there's an acceptable grief period, after you lose someone important, and then you're fair game for their nastiness or attitude. They don't seem to realize that it gets a lot worse, before it gets better (so far, I'm not in the "better" category - it's worse). I have a new group of friends in a category they never wanted to be in: those who have lost their mother. Another friend is looking after hers in a rehab facility, as I'd hoped to look after mine last year, after her mum had a huge stroke a couple of weeks ago. And there are people out there who get their "fun" messing with people's heads, or just hurting them somehow. Ugh!!! IP: Logged |

Yeah, so my boss tried to (figuratively) throw me under the bus at work. I couldn't work things out with her, so I climbed the chain of command and went to her boss. A week later, I find out that my boss has been lying to everyone about the situation, playing manipulative games, and one of her "friends" at work has been spreading lies about me. (Very ridiculous rumors that no one would ever believe, but I still don't appreciate the attempted attacks on my reputation and character.) At first I was angry, and wanted to march up to all of those involved and say exactly what I was thinking (Moon conj. Mars & Mars square Mercury in my chart at play here) but something (maybe Taurus?) was telling me to bite my tongue, try to be patient & wait it out. That maybe I don't know everything just yet, and maybe this situation hasn't played itself out completely yet. Thankfully I have plenty of patience to pull from. No quoting please. IP: Logged |

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I don't have that patience right now, but I'm really over dealing with that kind of behaviour. I've heard that others are being attacked and accused over things they haven't done, that people are being talked about, and it's unwarranted. I just know that in my situation, I'm over it, and I'd better not have to deal with anything else in relation to it. SV: I would put my email address in my profile, but I'm not allowed to do that. I would be there to talk, if you needed it. My guess is that the people at work know that you aren't guilty of whatever your boss is saying, and that they know your boss well enough to realize that (as well as you). I also know that being in that position sucks, though, and that it hurts a lot. If anyone thought me capable of anything that was spread about me rumour-wise, they would no longer be my friend.

Just coming back, because this is exactly what I've been doing: quote:
"If a situation doesn’t feel right, pause. If you aren’t sure, pause and consult multiple people. No matter what anyone instructs or insists, you have a right to tend to your mental sanity and clarity first. Whether this takes a couple of hours, days or weeks, is entirely up to you."
And it's good advice for everyone.

Great advise indeed! So I am sick and my period arrive Monday, a few days late really. The two months prior it arrived early twice which was weird. There is definitely a cold going around and the flue too but I just have a nasty cold. Lots of sick people. I wonder since mercury rules the 6H if people are more susceptible to colds when mer is pre-shadow or retro? IP: Logged |

yes since this is happening during the pre-shadow period it could be a communication breakdown issue and you don't know everything just yet so maybe is wise to wait it out and give people the benefit of the doubt for now.. IP: Logged |

Just letting you know that since this past weekend I have been having issues getting access to Lindaland from home but here at work no problem! I do have satellite..I hope it resolves itself on its own, other sites load fine though. When I am at home my cell phone relies from my satellite internet too so I cannot reach lindaland from my cell phone at home either. IP: Logged |
