Merc Rx in Gemini & Aquarius=Emotional Trainwreck?

My Aquarius, who happens also have a Gemini Moon, has been an emotional trainwreck these last three weeks!

He is having outbursts that are extreme. He is stressed out (and saying so), frequently unable to find the words to say what he wants to say and so he starts making noises, and he is very impatient. Virgo that I am, I have been trying to take it in stride. I also have a natal Mercury Rx in Virgo so recall what it was like as a very young child to be rather quiet for lack of words. I have been trying to view it unemotionally and I realize it is his issue not mine so I have been able to detach.

But he is acting like an overblown Leo and it is getting rather irritating. It makes me tune him out. This is ridiculous, demanding, childish behavior.

Yesterday he said he was oh so busy with things, I said it might be a good time to take a month's break and not get together until the end of July. That I would like some space and time for myself because I have my novel writing to do and some other professional projects.

Well today he suddenly keeps blurting out curse-filled comments on the MSN Messenger to me (I keep it on while I am writing). Instead of asking me simple questions he starts screaming online and cursing and acting emotionally out of control.

I know the Full Moon in Sag is also tomorrow. But are any other Aquas feeling as emotionally whacked by the Merc Rx in Gemini?

Well, before "getting rid of him", I want to see what happens after Mercury in Gemini stations direct in he next 24 hours or so. Hopefully he will stop being so mentally and emotionally whacky. Of course it may take until Mercury gets back to the point where it was before it stationed retrorgade....another 2-3 weeks.

I have not seen a Mercury retrograde or a lunar transit affect him before, that I have noticed; however with this Air sign Mercury Rx in his Moon sign, perhaps it even an Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) is affected and the person acts in a destabilized manner. I have seen Fire signs do it and this is appearing like that.

Perhaps that DOES make sense: the destabilization being expressed as too much talking verbal outbursts.

After all the temperamental blurting, then came the apologies asking me to "forget about the outbursts". Of course I can forgive but truly forget I will not because this is some Aquarius behavior to remember.

I will not abandon him over it, but I am taking a break and we can talk about it at the end of July, if need be. We have a trip we are taking this weekend, but after that, phew, I am looking forward to the mental/emotional freedom and independence. It is energy-sucking to have Mr. Aquarius be emotionally demanding and flaky like this.

Life experiences....hmmm.

Thank you bijou, that helps me get a handle on it to know that it is affecting other Aquarius' and Geminis.

One of my Aquarius' cursing outbursts yesterday was about a phone call he says he got complaining about something and I think he is perhaps empathisizing too much with people. I asked him why he didn't just ignore the complaint instead of taking it so seriously when it was really much of nothing.

Well, after a quiet day, Mr. Aquarius tells me he is going to see a psychologist because behind this behavior is depression, stress, issues about relating to people and some things he declined to mention (his perogative of course). I am happy to hear this and hope it will be a good solution.

He is a year away from his Saturn Return in Libra and it could be that the energy (learning to relate maturely to others) is already kicking in...

I am really looking forward to us going away this weekend.

Well, well. So THAT'S why my ex-aqua (who has been calling me non-stop for two weeks despite my non-answering the phone) showed up on my doorstep yesterday and proceeded to freak the f*ck out. He also has a moon in gemini, and lots Sag in his chart (venus, mars, something else I can't remember off the top of my head).

Anyway, he acted like a complete psycho. Honestly, though, I chalk this up to his baggage more than his placements...though I think, in general, they play a part.

The Mercury Rx in Gemini ends today, but it will be at least another week, more likely two weeks, before you notice things back to "normal". But whatever issues came up during the retrograde....it may well be that your Aquarius needs to pay attention and deal with those matters.

my gemini was in a pretty bad mood yesterday...but hes okay now...i thought he just needed some nurturing...but i guess this explains it
