Mercey Retrograde is ceasing

How was your retrograde period?
Mine started out fine and illuminating, got progressively worse.

BIG problems with Leos - communication? Everything. Ugh those damn prissy big cats. They give me problems.. the females, not the males. Coincidentally, mercury retro is in LEO, so Leos are acting up? Glad it is finally ending.

"The Sun moves on into Virgo on the 23rd, not long before Mercury stations and turns direct in Leo on August 26. At this time Mars reaches the square to Saturn (Aug 25), once again triggered by the Moon. Typically, any difficulties and delays are likely to have been brought on by lack of preparation, planning, and organization—either on our own part or that of others. The maddening thing is that even if you are the most careful individual, you are apt to be caught just when things are in disarray—or just when you need something, it cannot be located in time. Bad timing is one of the biggest obstacles to progress. People will be inclined to physically resist or even threaten those in positions of authority—who are unlikely to take it graciously when they do. Nevertheless, the odds are that success is not out of reach, perhaps because maturity and experience dictate that we must keep on going until everything goes as it should." - Rob Tillett

Did anyone experience missed timing, authority problems and social issues? Apparently it's the highlight of the mercury retro. If you threw a big party or attempted to BE in the spotlight, you'd be struck down like you never imagined.

also, awful communication between partners?

Not bad at all, bit tiring recently but if anything I've felt more vocal and all at one zen-like with myself.
But then again maybe I've just kept my mouth shut on more pressing matters lol

Hmm, good for you then. Any communication matters esp emails didnt get through?

Unless you're talking about DXP's pm'ing service, that's pot luck at the best of times lol.

Hahaha!

No I meant in general, I guess!

el-o-el! funny.

Any Leos turned feral during this period?

Yeah, the leo females in my life turned feral. I no longer have a rosy impression of them. They became werewolves.

There definetly was a lot miscommunication right when that motherfucker went retro (A female friend n a male friend with leo moon). I had some issues with an authority figure(my dad). Had to tell him go fuck off. I had computer issues at work. My brain was fried during training, being forgetful the first two weeks ( Luckily, I interviewed before merc went retro). Had t.v. ng dvd issue (cable should b fixed today). Had transportation issues twice. I cant wait for it to be over with this Saturday. But than again we have a Hurricane heading our way.

I just started recently learning about whenever "mercury's in retrograde" n read that yeah bad communication & technical difficulties r the norm -- n YES, it's affected me! Lol nothing too too bad, but there's been like 3 recent instances where my computer has acted up @ the most least desirable moments ever lol. Which is weird b/c my computer is new & has never tripped out like that before. N not only that, out of all times why NOW n during the times where I absolutely can't have that happen?! Haha

So 1) I was doing this timed test online and all of a sudden my computer started acting up the very last minute! Froze, screen turned black and finally came back on like literally the last minute and I was able to submit it quickly. I did good but could've had a perfect score had my comp not frozen up like that. 2) Just recently, my homework wouldn't upload onto my school site which was weird b/c I've NEVER had probs uploading before & it didn't finally upload until again -- the last minute lol. N then 3) This software on my comp wasn't working when I had to submit something (again, LAST MINUTE! Lol) & I had to race to the store to buy it 😛

So those r the weird tech stuff that's happened, n then as far as communication goes I had a weird outing w/ some old friends. Let's just say it was very awkward w/ random altercations -- again, weird b/c I'm usually socially graceful lol. And then I read about that mercury retro stuff n all these occurences made sense. Like o ok, THAT'S Y lol. Refreshing to know but man can't wait until it's over 😛 lol

it was so weird how I felt like I was forced to deal with past issues, as if they were present ? I had to force myself to see things like I used to, which was horrible. Sorry if I make no sense... I felt like this retro merc made me realize how much I've learned in the past yr.

It made my emotions haywire. I had to withdraw more because I didn't want drama. It's almost like a cloaked period of darkness.

Where was mercury transiting in your chart? Jails could be the 12th house, so if mercury was in the 12th, or hitting the significator of the 12th (or was the significator of the 12th) it would make sense.
You have a Cancer ASC if I didnt remember wrongly, so Mercey rules your 12th.. see astrology works. Hope things werent too bad.

I hear ya! I couldnt get much of those interview/ mercury ruled stuff done during this retro. Hope the hurricane is not going to act up.

WORLD WAR 3 with my loverman .... felt worse than giving birth 😄

Feeling pretty shitty and irritable, but passing slooooowly away

middle finger up to merc rx

*sticks tongue out*

Oh Shxt on the WWIII, strangely, I think I know what you are talking about. It's like Leonine explosions in formidable proportions. Two lions fighting.. dfinitely not a transit favoring love and the likes. Anyone who hooked up in a good relationship this period would be a defiance of nature! lol

OMG about the computer. I hope you didn't lose too much important info. I had that comp act-up before so I know what you're talking about. I lost like 2 weeks of info, luckily there's a program that can dig up lost pixels floating about in your comp! That saved me that other time, lol!
It's over on Friday, lucky lucky haha 🙂)

Dang !
*Must remember to call my Mum + dad* lol
I didn't notice anything tbh.

Oh your mum and Dad are big cats? Well if you *forgot* to call them, then that is the highlight of mercey retrograde then, dontcha think? Hahaha!!!

Forgot to call (mercury retrograde) mum (Leo) and dad (Leo) !

You seem to have escaped the retro unscathed, lucky you..

(or maybe all this is just an extra incentive for blaming drama on the planets!)

Mine was actually pretty damn good. For a sec I thought it was because I had mercury in retrograde but I looked at the wrong chart in my tabs lol.

I actually opened up with my guy, him too. We had great communication but neither of us have a retrograde merc. I have one in mars and him in venus though. I don't know if that means anything. I do also have Jupiter in Leo in the eighth house. Maybe it had something to do with luck? Lol.

However, two old friends of mine ended their engagement. Pretty bad. It was cap and Leo ladies. The Cappy broke up with Leo, it must have been bad because the day they broke up she moved out that night with everything and moved to another state with her sister.

No communication problems at all though, nothing with e-mails or anything...

mercury retrograde was in your 8th house, maybe you opened up about past (intimate) issues with your guy. The retrograde can give ya'll a chance to solve them if it didn't go haywire. Good for you 🙂

I acually heard of lots of breakups during this period as well..

^Haha ya domestic rile-ups are the worst.. ouch. I wasnt feeling social events at all too, just content with being by myself.

Ugh, I broke up with my current guy. I have Virgo rising. But this retrograde brought things to light for me also. I had blinders on in this relationship and didn't follow my instincts. I am hurt but not looking back.
