Mercury Retrograde + Virgo = (what for you?)

Usually Mercury Retrogrades are the worst months of the year for me. This one we're currently in is hands-down, no questions asked, the worst I've felt in a LONG time. Just curious to see if other Virgo's are unusually affected by this months retrograde?

Actually for me, when merc is in retrograde....it seems to have the opposite effect.
I seem to be able to articulate what I want to say better etc (minus my Leo moon emotional outbursts lol)
Merc is retro in my natal chart...so idk if this is why?!

I think I'm going to have to do an in-depth chart. Not sure why it hits me so hard (Mercury 27.47 in my natal chart, but don't know what that means).

It's to the point I think I'm going to go back to bed until 3/15 lol

For Virgos:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your own body language and personal manner (you may feel that others misunderstand you), as well as communications involving the career or public, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. You are ruled by Mercury, so the likelihood of being misunderstood, in general, is high. Put off career decisions as well, as career matters are Gemini-ruled for you. Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on the choice of words instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, try not to over-react to what your partner has to say. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to reflect upon your negotiation skills with the goal of improving them. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

So that's why I've been pissing people off left & right. Seeing as though most of this stuff has already happened in my life since the 23rd, I think I'll take the rest of this time to shut the hell up...oh and reflect. :-)

when does the retrograde end?

3/17

ah!, this explains everything. The past three weeks have been a struggle.

it seems to be coming to an end now. So glad.

Well let's see; my sun, mercury, venus, saturn, lilith & asc node are all in Virgo and to be honest things have been better. I've really screwed some things up over the past week or so with some things I've said or ways I've acted and I agree with @TMV; I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin or climb the walls with anxiety or some un-named emotion. They really should let Virgos sit this time out!

Very much feeling it... a bit negative- but I am looking forward to getting back on track.
I didn't know Mercury Retro would be so powerful, what is it's purpose?
How long is this going to last?

*rakes fingernails down cheeks*

It's here until the 17th.
I wish Nyquil lasted 10 days.

Agreed... yesterday was the worst so far. I pray it doesn't get any worse than yesterday.
