Mercury Flipping Retro!

So we all know generally a what Mercury Retro brings...communication breakdowns, misunderstandings, problems with transport, technology going on the blink etc.

I'm wondering though if anyone finds these periods usually bring the SAME sort of issues. Like a a continued repeat of the same problem/drama/issue?

For me it's always frigging relationships. Every single Mercury retro for the past two years has brought with it either the breakdown of a relationship (or a MAJOR drama) and without fail someone from my past (usually an ex) re-enters my life......whether I like it or not.

It always seems to kick off during the initial shadow phase, which for this particular retro kicked off on 27th February (or so I've read).

Things have went belly up with the Aqua I'd been seeing and the Scorpio I broke up with last year (initiated during a retro merc) has been bombarding me with wanting to give it another go!

It's actually blowing my mind. If I look back at every Merc retro for the past couple of years I can definitely see a pattern.

Anyone else experience this?

Thanks MissPirate for the info. I definitely had my suspicions that something was up, but I couldn't put my finger on what...and apparently it's only the shadow period? Communication in my relationships has definitely gone awry (esp. romantically). So the retrograde begins March 12, and we only get relief on April 3? Or am I getting this wrong? I know the effects of the official retrograde period are different from the effects of the shadow period (I can't tell which is stronger). I wonder what happens to the Mercurial energy when it goes stationary direct April 4...

I was just thinking about this.

I always find that communication goes internal for me. I have trouble articulating my thoughts or there is a definite delay in my thinking pattern. Someone from the past pops up, and wants to talk to me about something dramatic. I have to really think about what I say, and how I say it and not read too much into the words others use with me. Things get more subtle for sure.

I'm going to go back and check out the last two years of mercury retro now...

So, update?
I could really use a break. Or for it to be April 5th, like tomorrow. This week has all been missed trains, being late to work (like this morning), missed opportunities for important conversations, and what's more I have been compelled to sign a few contracts under this retrograde (oh well).

How is everyone else coping with the dreaded retrograde so far?

Awww, Nights. What happened? I'm sorry 😢

Does it make it better/worse if your Pisces is in Mercury?
