There Goes Mercury Retrograde Again!
Three to four times a year, Mercury goes retrograde. Retrograde to an astrologer means that the planet looks like it is going backwards. This is due to the length of its orbital path compared to the Earth's.
To some it would seem that during this period, communications break down. Mechanical things go awry. Creativitity takes an inward turn. This thread is to alert you to the upcoming Mercury retrogrades if you are someone who does believe that it can be a bit messy during Mercury's little backward stroll around our planet. If you are not someone who thinks this, that's okay too. There are plenty of threads to start about how you are NOT affected by Mercury's retrograde. :D The 2010 Mercury Retrogrades are: December 26, 2009 at 21 Capricorn Mercury turns direct January 15, 2010 at 5 Capricorn Mercury turns retrograde April 18 at 12 Taurus Mercury turns direct May 11 at 2 Taurus Mercury turns retrograde August 20 at 19 Virgo Mercury turns direct September 12 at 5 Virgo Mercury turns retrograde December 10 at 5 Capricorn Mercury turns direct December 30 at 19 Sagittarius All the retrogrades this coming year (including the one that starts on Saturday of this week) are in Earth signs. This year's were in Air. Some good links are: http://www.alphalifetrends.com/mercuryretrograde.html http://www.cafeastrology.com/mercuryretrograde.html |
Based on the day I had yesterday, I would have voted that it started earlier. *grin*

It might as well as gone retro last week ... I've ordered some packages, and they aren't here yet, even though they were expected last week.... (but I know it's because of Christmas... ) but, on that note - retrograding Mercury is NOT good for snail-mailing either.
And ... avoid any critical thinking during this retrograde. .... just adding my astrological 2 cents. |
Ive def noticed the last two retrogrades, weird communication errors at work and in my personal life lol
hopefully this one wont be so wonky |
I am still not a believer of this retrograde phenomenom. If you (the general you) tell people they are going to have a bad week, and they get it in their head they are going to have a bad week, then they will in fact, have a bad week.
I have heard people use the phrase: "oh, mercury must be in retrograde this week" because something bad happened. I think it is all in a lot of people's heads sometimes...lol Not that I am making fun of people who believe in it....I am simply saying that I do NOT believe in it. If I am having a bad week, I simply blame it on the fact that I am not projecting enough positive energy or thoughts into that part of my life....or that I need to step back, take a deep breath, then move on. |
Yes, I believe in this. It is in paranormal literature too. I have a sense it is coming...and it won't be pretty. :cards:
|
A believer...and i see Pisces is free and clear for a while...thank the heavens,lol
|
It's astrological.
You cannot avoid it. You don't have to believe in it, but it affects everyone regardless of what they believe. It's coming to get you. Run. *chuckle* |
While my brain does slosh around at different levels from time to time...I blame the beer:beerbros:, not retrograde! Perhaps it is all the beer that I consume that balances out this retrograde thingy! :winky: Hm, might have to do an experiment!!:bucktooth:

Ugh,retrograde,I got a feeling I should keep my aries self at home or close to it atleast.That must be whats makeing the weather be so crazy,not shure I have seen it like this for a while.

I'm with June. I used to believe it was just so much hogwash, but then I noticed there were times of the year where EVERYBODY I knew was having trouble... it was so puzzling! Years of this went by before I heard about Mercury Retrograde, and sure enough... it was retrograde during the shared hard times...
Don't have to hit me more than once with that 2x4 before I pay attention.... |
As a Virgo I feel Mercury's retrograde pretty strongly. All my communication suffers, my internet is always down, my phones die, and I could go on and on, it is not pretty.
I just realized a booked a trip for the 26th, what was I thinking?! |
I don't think Virgo's are known for being gluttons for punishment.
But then again, no two Virgos are alike. Perhaps that day will be the exception as opposed to the rule. |
I'm not looking forward to it....I think I'm already getting a prelude to it. If I had a place to run and hide until it blew over, I would.

when is the madness over? |
Mercury retrograde has made its presence known in my life. I have been more incapable of expressing my thoughts in a direct manner. Over the last couple of days, I have stumbled over my words and wondered if I could have been more eloquent, would there have been different outcomes. I am normally able to say exactly what I want to say, but damned if these last few days things have come out wrong.
Sighs.... lillith |
