The retrograde broke up my relationship
How Mercury Retrograde Affects Relationships
Mercury retrograde can cause misunderstandings and communication issues that sometimes lead to breakups. It may also bring unresolved feelings to the surface. Taking time to reflect and communicate clearly can help manage its effects on relationships. Remember that astrology influences but does not determine relationship outcomes.
I’m sorry!
That sucks! I'm sorry 😔
Then you may be in luck. If miscommunication during Mercury retrograde was the cause, then things may turn around once the retrograde passes and the confusion clears up.

i'm sorrygo grab a cap
for your mars
Funny a cap asked me out the day we broke up right before we broke up lmao
Well this was in his chart and this is exactly what happened. I asked him for more of his time like you know planned, deliberate intimacy and he just blew up. Like was all yelling and being rude and insensitive. Pretty out of character for him. He like bullied me into a break up. Allowed me to cancel our upcoming trip and everything.
I love you guys though btw.

😔 can you try to fix it when it goes direct or is it a complete mess now?
Idk he's being such a headstrong dickhead. A fuckin Taurus smh

Sooooo all you gonna do is to blame on something instead of reavaluate of why is it ending?
But it was legit the retrograde lmao.

Did you read this before or after the breakup?
A retrograde can’t ruin a relationship.
It helps to crumble things that weren’t strong enough to begin with. It’s all to help you not hurt you.

Thank you 💚
I’ve been seeing a lot of major blowouts during mecury retrograde in my person friend’s relationships. Like big big messes that I’ve never seen any of them go through before. Mercury retrograde has been rough this time.

After smh. Or I would've showed him and maybe we could've avoided it. Cuz like his behavior was just like this. Out of the blue.

Yes! Like we've never had a fight this big man. I was so confused lol.

Why didn't u plan intimacy etc yourself?
Like if you're always busy with work caring enough to prioritize a romantic time together once a month. I didn't plan it this time because I always do. I planned the entire vacation we were supposed to go on in two weeks. I wanted him to make a bit of an effort. I still like to be courted sometimes.

True. So why are u upset if he has no initiative?
Doesn't it tell you it was one sided?

Well I feel like he did do some caring things but I also kinda felt like he was really getting comfy with Netflix and chill so I figured it would have been a conversation of compromise like normal and then it turned into this huge blowout. He was the one flying off the handle. I had stepped back from speaking twice so the convo wouldn't get blown out of proportion and each time he had the same insensitive careless rude energy. So I guess I'm hurt about it because I felt that it was a small request and something that shouldn't have been a big deal but it lead to the vacation being cancelled and a whole relationship thrown away. So meh.

He kinda reminded me of my ex and my dad though so I'm kinda scared. I probably wouldn't get back together right away. All of it just reminded me of toxicness I don't want. But like I never felt that way til this time here. Idk girl.

If this is the first time it’s happened, give him a break. Everyone is entitled to a breakdown. He’s only human. And we get stressed out and act the wrong way. If he apologizes, then he knows he was wrong. It’s ok for people to make mistakes. No one is perfect.

Girl.. That's the thing....he never even apologized or acknowledged his horrible behavior. If he would do that, though I don't think his pride would let em, I'd def consider it. But you know what says a lot? He's willing to let his $ 600 and change go to waste (cuz the flights and hotel are nonrefundable) to stand by his pride and behavior than to make up with me.
That says a whoooollee f uckin lot.

You're absolutely right. That's why I cancelled our trip and blocked him on social media and haven't said a word since.

Think it shows u the issues you're meant to work on.
Communication is the theme of the ground work. I mean in the middle of his yelling I did ask him if he thought this was healthy communication...its like he heard nothing I said and kept on

He’s going to regret it. You know he will. He may not apologize now, but perhaps sometime in the future. He seems like he needs space right now. Let him have it. Don’t show him any weakness. Good luck. I hope he comes around!

Hmmm the last 3 guys I’ve dated have been aqua moons! And two of the guys were Capricorn’s. The aqua Sun was cap cusp.
That’s what I need to stay away from!! But it’s been magnetic.

Yes sometimes attracted to what isn't good for us
When you learn to end the pattern, it's very liberating, it takes strength

don't read anything during mercury retrograde regarding astrology and whats to come cuz it'll plant itself in your head and it will happen cuz you're already feeding and manifesting that negative thought this goes for tarot too
I read it after we broke up.
