What is Mercury in retrogade and

why is it being blamed every 2 minutes for the cancer we're witnessing?

Yes yes, I know, I can google it. But you know what, I want the lovely members of dxpnet to explain it to me. Like if I'm 5.

Because it takes a brave person to face reality

Draw your own conclusions from that

are you saying that people should stop blaming their outbursts on mercury retrograde and just accept the fact that that's the way they are? Cause well, I haven't been feeling any different. But I keep seeing people scared of mercury and blaming mercury. im like wtf am i missing out on

I didn't believe in it, until the last one and I have it rx natally but the one in Taurus was a freaking nightmare, lost texts, lost love, like bat crap crazy stuff... now this one has brought LOTS of past men back but otherwise all is fine. My progressed merc isn't rx so maybe that's why?

Some people are the way they are all year round. Merc RX is just a convenient time for them to blame something other than themselves.

There's probably a perfectly sound, in-depth astrological explanation for why you don't feel affected

I'm betting it on your rare Ophiuchus placement

wtf, didn't you make that aries thread? You're the reason people keep bringing up the mercury retrograde excuse LOL

I can physically feel Mercury Retrograde. I feel wonky, whiney, sleepy, sloppy, messy, jittery. Everyone in my immediate family gets like this during it, I've realised since learning astrology. We all have personal planets in Gemini and/or Virgo. My Virgo husband gets super cranky especially around station and he doesn't even believe in astrology.

It's real. Just doesn't effect everyone the same.

I don't have emotional outbursts during it though.. then blame it on Merc Rx. What kind of an asshole would do that? Haha 😆

right? lmao

I suspect the peeps who blame outbursts on it are firey types. Merc Rx slows me way down. I feel like a clumsy sloth.
