How's everybody finding the retrograde so far? I've had trouble making plans, delays, people being late....have just kept with what I want to do and so far it's given me more spare time to just *be*.

The people from the past come out of the woodwork with Mars Retro though, and that will be ex-lovers or anybody you may have had a falling out with during the last 2 years. Mars will force you to have a re-think and most likely you will bump into anybody you need to speak to.

There is no coincidence!!

Happy Sunday, I'm going to meet the snowmaker. x

Had an ex who I hadn't seen in 20 years come back into my life a couple weeks ago. It didn't go well which brought up the totality of my relationship history and love style. Which has put me into a sad/depressing/funk like I haven't been in in years. Not loving it. But I guess the silver lining is that it's making me do some evaluating and self analysis. Maybe it's time for a change.

On a side note, it seems everyday my friends on social media are reporting phone and computer problems. Kinda makes me laugh as none of them are into astrology so they don't know about Mercury Retrograde.

Everything is a hot mess for me right now... is it because I'm a taurus and the retrograde is going thru taurus?
Of course, when planets come within 5 degrees of a natal planet, problem.

So I just have to hold on till retrograde ends? And will these things that happened stay done and confused or will there be a boomerang effect that I keep hearing about. I will say this has reminded me hot to actually talk on the phone because, text has been so screwed up, that if I weren't a believer before, I am now!

Well just check the chart

And here

No theres no boomerang, usually 5 degrees before, til about 2 degrees after, then u get used to it or the effect simply dissipates.
Thanks, I think I wanted to just hold on to hope, but that's just prolonging the inevitable. Thanks again!!

i was walking down the mall few days ago an old acquaintance passed by i had not seen him about 2 years or more. he pretended to not see me and walked straight as we crossed paths. we were 2 ft away. we are no longer friends due to falling out. its fine i didnt call out his name, no reason to. maybe this was mercury retrograde doing its work.
Its says merc retro seeing old friends yes !!

Not sure what you mean about hope...but maybe you wanna check out your transits...pluto is in cap 17 now, check which house it falls into, probably 2nd, so destruction of values.
Neptune is in Pisces so maybe house 4, unrealistic at the core, or in family or home issues.
Uranus is in mid Aries.
Saturn Sag so your ascendant. Your personality is oppressed, put to the test.

I had a beak up with someone that I just thought it was so much more and it was heated and I didn't say my peace - so I was keeping hope alive by blaming mercury retrograde - but its probably just because he's an idiot. 😄 Thanks for this info, Ill be looking so maybe I can help myself understand what all is happening, with me - so I can let this go.

Thanks again!!

This is all so weird. My first post, by the way!
I have certainly noticed a discord in communication, and an overall whacky feeling at work. I also reconnected with two exes and dumped my live in partner, whom I believed to be "the one".

Now, I have found my dream car. It is a classic that I have been tenaciously searching for, with a clean record, full restoration, and a stack of maintenance records that is the thickness of a bible. Let me say that I have never heard or known anything about Mercury retrograde, but now that I do, I have heard so many warnings against buyin a car until June.

My question is: what is the difference in waiting if I know I'm going to get this particular car, regardless? The owner has already agreed to hold it for me.

Hard to say man, the stack of maint.records sounds a bit dodgy, but if you're sure of it, just go for it. There might be a small setback, or smth, doesnt mean the car will fall apart.

It seems that l've missunderstood you, you're saying things went south these past days or weeks? Relationship wise? Well the retrograde has something to do with it. Never worry about things during a retrograde, they're just a condensation of normal life, things could go back to normality or a version of it, after the tide.
Yes it happened on the 30th and I feel he way overreacted but he's iced me out since then. 😢 Nice to hear I might get a chance to at least talk to him like a grown up again. Thank you so much!!

Hm I have my saturn + merc in cap 5th house and my mars in sag also 5th house. Pluto is in scorp 4th house.

Saturn is rx in sag, same as mars. Pluto is rx in cap and merc rx in taurus.

That means I have to look at my 5th house for the saturn, mars, pluto rx and for the merc rx I have to look at my 10th house?

Its funny since I get married this friday 🙂 we are super excited and very happy. Everything runs smoothly. No stupid ex lovers, just us.

Yes of course, you look up the transits, like astrotheme.com, take Pluto for instance, see it's in 17 degrees Cap. Go to your chart, see that your 6th house starts at 15 cap, that would mean that Pluto is now in the 2nd degree of your 6th house.

Congratulations and l hope your day is wonderful 🙂

I've no problems when Mercury goes retro.
I've born with Mercury retrograde, the only think I can notice different is the way I communicate.
I can be more assertive. Go directly to the point.
Work runs smoothly and ideas about getting something done comes more fast.
Jokes are more sarcastic and cynical 😈

Every single site posting that Mercury retrograde will cause havoc is not for me. 🙂
