-*- RECOMMENDATIONS -*- : As always during Mercury Rx, even during the pre-shadow and post shadow phases:

-*- Cross your t's and dot your i's.

-*- Anything new that is started during that time may have to be fixed later after the retrograde period is over.

-*- Not a great time to buy big ticket items.

-*- Not a great time to sign contracts that are meant to be final.

In general, things may not be as they seem, so:
-*- Check and double check your sources for anything.
-*- Check and doublecheck before clicking SEND or SUBMIT when sending emails or texts or posts.

-*- Good time to re-do, re-view, complete tasks that were left on the back burner.

-*- Good time to go back, to revisit old places, to renew with old friends.

-*- Great time for movie sequels to come out.

Thanks for the summary!

Anyone else here with natal Mercury Rx? Do you feel the effects of transit Mercury Rx?

^^^ My understanding of people with natal Mercury Rx is that when transit Mercury turns Rx for the rest of us, these natives usually fare very well because for them it's business as usual!

I forgot to note that people should pay attention to where Mercury Rx will fall in their chart.

For me, the retrograde will happen in my 5th and 6th houses. Not sure how the 5th is going to play out, but I already know when it comes to my 6th, it will be time to revisit some of my health and dietary regimen and maybe even day to day work activities.

Yeah, I was curious what others think Because I don't ever notice anything different during Mercury Rx periods. I have it retrograde natally. I always check everything three times and think twice before saying something.

Sounds about right!

I have also read that people born with Mercury Rx tend to be attracted to older philosophies and systems of thoughts.

This RX hitting me hard. I was looking forward to revisit some good Neptunian time and memory lane , but apparently tr. Saturn wants me to go into unpleasant emotions… Some signs popped, but I have hard time to figure out what and who they are connected to anymore.
I don’t think I want comebacks anymore since I might change much. I might want to come back to the previous versions of myself, but I might be too far gone.

Also, I have headache several days in a row after I stabilized a period of anxiety and racing thoughts. And an event what triggered toxic memories.

Last month I’ve been meeting people looking beat up and unhappy in many places who didn’t appear like that before. Also, several changes. So it seems like this RX was rough for many.

I might have solved something what was hanging around as a disaster waiting to start for a while. Very appreciative for that win. Otherwise, not so happy and emotionally exhausted time. I might have lost another illusion.

In my country, this retrograde ushered in a long standing blowout between commuters and taxi drivers( and by extension the Taxi association).

An incident in Soweto involving the firebombing of a young man who was working as an uber driver, sparked outrage within the community that "enough is enough".

Taxi drivers within the community were becoming a law unto themselves- demanding that they have exclusive rights to transport commuters. And intimidating anyone ( including uber drivers )who dares to do otherwise.

At the moment the situation is tense, as commuters blocked entries for taxi drivers to enter and threatening to expel them indefinitely from the community because of the horrific death of the young man.

Nothing much is known about the vivitm( unfortunately) besides the fact that he was 27 years of age😓

So when I looked at 1998 Jan 1st and 1998 Dec 31st, i noticed that Neptune was between 28 Cap and 0 Aqua and Uranus was between 7 to 9 Aqua.

The current transit of Mercury 5Leo would have atleast opposed his Neptune and Uranus.

But judging by the sudden and violent nature of his death, I think transiting Mercury is more likely in closer aspect to his natal Uranus.

Its just so awful. I am really sorry that it had to result in the death of this young innocent man in order for something to be done about this long standing issue.

May his soul rest in peace 🙏🏿
