mercury_in_retrograde
no reason these past few days have been a struggle, not for any major reasons, but just every interaction is more antagonistic than usual and everything just seems that much more difficult. and i've heard so many similar complaints from so many unconnected people that it led me to joke that there was something in the air or water or stars. but then i considered it could actually be true, since it's rare that so many people are so off at the same time.

just now, following another friend complaining about similar things, i just randomly found out that mercury is in retrograde and that the universe begins to shift tonight. what better thing to blame your problems on than the universe?

kinda neat.

srealisma Yeah. The new moon. ( on my Saturn ).

Merc retro is July 16-Aug 8 in Leo. I'm having a little less patience with people's pettiness and this is a petty in itself, selfish, and lacking generosity.

But I'm also seeing that judgment is all we have if we don't cultivate other life fulfilling stuff. Also striving to remove the ubiquitous white person dominator virus from the system. Not interested in bragging. These are all Merc retro Leo themes.

Mercury goes retro three times a year, more or less. The sign grants the theme.

no reason i was planning on revealing some pretty big news at work tomorrow that will definitely surprise my boss and most likely make him unhappy. i was hoping it would go okay though, and now i find out mercury is in retrograde from tomorrow until the end of the month.

maybe i pissed the universe off somehow.

e_o_i Well, yes, it is getting colder here again after a few days of getting warmer. 140206

unhinged i believe this particular mercury retrograde is cushioned by some other aspects and is a period that can further ideas, goals, plans if communications are handled delicately.

maybe your boss wont be pissed.

flowerock. Is that what's going on? I feel a little bit better if it's possibly some painful cosmic lesson rather than just me alone having a hard time... we should all give lavender scented hugs during this time. 160513
...
nr i choose to believe it is because otherwise, i'd have no idea why interactions are so difficult. i like to blame things beyond my control. 160513
...
flowerock. Blaming things beyond our control is an acceptable_vice in_my_opinion... just indulge knowingly and remember to revisit the issue when you are feeling more up to the challenge... otherwise everything will always be beyond your control... is it already anyway? Is control am illusion? Is life just organized_chaos? 160513
