Hey everyone, I do not know if this is the right place to ask this but if someone can help, I would be forever grateful.

My manager had told me a couple months ago about a new position he was advertising in his department and urged me to apply. I really really wanted the position and was happy that he himself told me to apply.

I ended up applying and I was invited for an interview on the 22nd of April. The interview did not go extremely well but almost everyone on the panel knew who I was since I was working there. My manager told me that my application was the best and that I was very suitable for the position. Then a few days later he tells me that it's a very close race between me and another candidate but he would let me know at a later time. Today, 10th of May, I was told to go to his office. He told me that the panel decided to choose the other candidate since the position was very demanding and he had a little more relevant experience than me (he was also older). I was kind of expecting to get this kind of response since I knew the position was requiring a strong candidate, but I still felt that I could do better than anyone else in that particular position. I could also see that me manager was feeling quite bad telling me this.

I have read that during Mercury retrograde, managers may make wrong decisions when hiring people and that it is a bad time to take job offers or sign contracts. I am just here hoping that something goes wrong and I get the job instead, as I have been listed as the 'second option' in case the first candidate changes their mind.

What do you think? Is this something that could happen with Mercury Retrograde?

Thank you
