Why is it that every single mercury retrograde...

I want to go looking for a new job.

This is three now that I've felt that way.

Do any other capricorns go through this, or is it just me?

I have a Cap/Mars, and when Mercury hits, I want to do a gut job on my life. Job included.

Hmmm...has me thinking....

I haven't thought about it before, tbh, but thinking back I have indeed had thoughts about it. Don't know if it has been exactly during those dates(difficult to pinpoint), but I don't think it would be far off, in that case.

It hasn't been so strong that I have been on my way to actually do it, but the thoughts have slowly sailed through my head, definitely. Seems we'd really better look out for rash decisions during these times.

My dad...2-3 weeks ago, felt bored with his work.. He took up additional work! Oh he enjoyed that additional work so much...wouldn't even sleep properly until he finished it =)

When did this retrograde begin?

He was even talked about changing job after that little additional work he did! 😱 I vehemently opposed that stupid idea

Oh.

So that's what been wrong with me.

I've been questioning EVERYTHING lately.

There's at least 3 to 4 Mercury retrograde per year.
This one starts April 28 and ends May 22 - give one or two days more for the stationary period.
The next one will be in Virgo: August 30 till September 22
The Last one will be in Capricorn: December 19 and ends in January 8, 2017.

As you can see, all the Mercury retrogrades happens in Earth signs.
Every single Taurus, Virgo or Cap Sun, Moon, Asc will have "trouble" with the retrogrades mainly, except if in your natal chart you have Mercury retrograde also.

April 28th... so close to the May 22nd ending!!!

Well, it's not just me then.

My Pisces boss drives me crazy: manipulative, says one thing does another, no support, too busy trying to put me in my place to make efficient decisions, and just can't seem to see the big picture. Seems like it escalates during the mercury retrogrades. I start checking out listings for other opportunities, then realize its the retrograde and won't follow up on applying.

However this time a position found me, sought me out before the retrograde. Then they wanted to interview during the retrograde and I couldn't that day, so they rescheduled the interview for May 26. At the time I didn't realize we were in retrograde. So, I'm going to follow through on this one. I think it's time and the timing seems "right".

Seems like a cosmic sign doesn't it? lol!

Best of luck!

No Cap personal placements but have a Cap stellium (generational, obv -- still affects me, though) and I'm Saturn dominant.

I'm constantly thinking of finding a new job; always rethinking where I've allowed myself to stay stuck. The money's good but a few of the people stress me the fuck out. Especially a Virgo woman I work with. I have a lot of Virgos that are close to me, but at times we can butt heads. And this woman is no exception.
It's more bothersome to me dealing with her because she's one of the biggest hypocrites known to man.
Always trying to direct people, tell them what they're doing wrong, all while she's drowning in her own mess of work that she's left for months untouched. If this woman wasn't here, I'd feel a little more at ease. However, I have no problem telling her how I feel anytime she comes at me -- and she quickly backs off as soon as you bark back lol just draining a lot of the time.
Mercury retrograde makes me think about deserting this place every single time it occurs -- and once I get my degree in child development and teaching, you better believe I'll finally have put thought into action! lol

I was forced to look for another job. Got fired from my 4 year job last week for nonsense. Feel blessed that you have a job.

I've been trying my damnedest to sabotage a very good, year long relationship, for no good reason whatsoever.

Starting fires all over the place.

Thank goodness my woman is a saint.

Well, if she hangs in there, she's definitley a keeper! She knows what she's getting into and she's still around.

It's what I do. 😢

I get crowded, feel suffocated, then I try to make people go away.

I've come to my senses now though.

Damn retrograde upheaval.

Good luck truecap

Thanks!

Good luck Trucap!!

Nope, haven't had those feelings lately, but I've always been wanting to branch out on my own, just not the right time.

Anyways I'm giffing a lot lately, I wonder if the mercury retrograde has anything to do with it.... lol

All the best Truecap!

My Cap has been dealing with work stuff as well, new boss he is butting heads with. She just had a baby and brings the kid to work and meetings. Highly distracting. You can imagine how much he loves dealing with that. Lots of other things too, but mainly issues with his boss.

what's most significant for me is Saturn in sagittarius (my rising). i have been pushing to take on things i don't think i'm ready for and it can get too much at times. it's summer and i want to take a beach vacation!!! i am just trying my best to not drop any balls for the things i remember I said i'll do/help while keeping up my new exercise regimen.

saturn transits cap's 12 house right now and will be in the 1st house in 2018 so be ready! (i feel like this saturn transits is endless for me given that i'm experiencing the effect of saturn in sag right now already!)

Hubby and I want to start a snailfarm so we can produce and sell snail caviar.

Yeh... we crazy haha but happy

I quit mine today.

ok i know when saturn is in the 12 house. we'd feel like reevaluate everything but there are only 2 days away when Mercury is out of retrograde. it's better to wait a few days to make an important move.....

oh well, i guess it's close enough and it's summer lol so go outdoor, enjoy the summer and feel great about it!!

check out the capricorn 2016 video i posted. it's spookily accurate. i have been through a similar phase couple years earlier due to my ascendant. prepare yourself now for a new beginning in couple years. it's a long process that requires a lot of effort inside and out but it's going to define the next 29 years of your life!!

yeh totally 🙂

mercury rx 14.30 in taurus right?

taurus is the ruler of my 10th house 😛 mercury sits in my 5th house 10.58 in cap.

I look at the snailfarm as a fun project although I'm very serious about it. the idea to start came out of fun and spontaneity when my cap and I were goofing around. we are both very serious about it but we always have to laugh about ourselves hahaha I mena c'mon.. snails? genious hahahaha

my caps 10th house ruler is aries but his 11th house ruler is taurus and it starts at 25.21. would that mean that merc rx in taurus transits his 10th house since it's in 14.30 degree?

you can get accurate transits by going astro.com : astro.com --> free horoscopes --> personal daily horoscope and there is a link "View natal chart with transits" near the bottom of the page

This is the work horoscope this week. Interview is Thursday...
Maybe a job change is in the stars. 🙂

Disclaimer: Of course I don't put a lot of stock in horoscopes since it's written for all capricorns. It's just this one hits home.

I see how you focused on that aspect! 😉

(and I'm going to try my best regardless what that horoscope says - my honey comes home from work in a couple of days, after being gone for two weeks).

@truecap, I don't sympathize with you.
