I'm feeling Mercury retrograde in Cancer a lot today. I'm wistful and thinking back to the past a lot, with no apparent reason.
Hurting for past pains and missing ppl that are no longer in my life.

Someone else?

LeoSag, what house does it fall in for you?

It’s in my first house. The DAY it went retrograde, I had a huge miscommunication with my boss which blew up into this big drama... and it reminded me that I can’t stay in this job for long. I reconnected to my dreams and made an exit plan. The “re” part for me has been (so far) about remembering “who I am” (first house) and setting me back on the right course!

How did the subsequent new moon in the same sign/house affect you? Did it give you any hope or help you make a resolution for the future?

I see we have another Cancer new moon next month, after the retrograde ends, so hopefully we have a second chance with this new moon!

Sasha here's the chart, I hope it makes more sense to you than it does to me and I hope I did it right. This mercury rx falls in my 7th house, which I have natal (rx in 7th house) and it's my 7th house ruler too since I have the descendant in Gemini.
I reckon it's pretty normal to be wistful under those conditions... the meaning of the 7th house is relationships, and its ruler being retrograde should mean going back to where we've been, whether happy or messed up. But I cannot, and here's why http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum35/HTML/009915.html
All this was triggered by the fact that today I bumped in a recent pic of him - for the first time since we stopped dating.
I felt attraction, sad longing, elation, wistfulness squirm in my guts and my heart jumped.
So up to now this Mercury rx didn't give me any hope nor help... or maybe I am not seeing it?

Me too! 😧🙁 It was worse in the end of retrograde Venus. I really wanted to contact someone I’ve not remembered for 5 years. First, I got in Neptune clouds about it. Later, It hit me he might not even remember me anymore. I might reach out for a stranger. His moon might be in Cancer. Could it trigger my accidental memories of him?
Also, I had the negative experience reaching out for people.
While I was thinking about it, he closed his online page. I took it as “don’t”. But now I cannot look his page without adding him to friends...
I still have time to do something stupid till end of retrograde with all heavy transits in 3rd.

LeoSag, I'm so sad to read your story. That seems so painful. If you want more specific answers about this relationship, I recommend posting the composite chart to the Interpersonal forum, and hopefully Stoika can help you. Stoika is excellent not just with composites but with the transits and progressions (which I'm still learning), and can give really amazing insight. I think you will only learn of hope/help from the composite.

On this topic of Mercury Rx, I'm struck by the fact that not only does it fall in your 7th but it's also in Cancer, and your family had meddled in your relationship. There are such intense squares and oppositions in the chart!

I don't think Mercury Rx is all bad. Yes it's triggering these issues, but I think it tends to trigger things for good reason: this relationship is not REsolved. You didn't get the resolution you needed, and this retrograde reminded you of that. Remember that Venus was also still retrograde I think when you posted this, so there may be more than just Mercury retrograde at play.

It seems to me the message is that this relationship needs resolution, or at least that you need resolution. I hope you do post the composite in Interpersonal, or if you already did then resurrect that thread to get an update on the current transits. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I only see the synastry in the thread you linked.)

I hope the best for you and will look out for your posts! I don't feel advanced enough to give the greatest insight.
