I just popped in to this section to ask a question that this topic pretty much seems to be covering. I've noticed this week people have been acting weird if not downright irrational. I contacted another friend of mine today who's a reader and he said that people have been coming in all week saying pretty much the same thing. Aren't mercury retrogrades really common? Is that enough to make things feel this out of whack this week?
Mercury retrogrades happen about 3 times a year, if I'm not mistaken, and they all last for about 3 weeks. And oh yes, they can be enough to throw you out of whack. I've been in a seriously bad mood the past week or two for no reason whatsoever, and so has every single person I've come in contact with.
However, it's strange--usually they aren't that bad. The last retrograde passed without me even noticing. What makes this one so different? Any aspects to Mercury that are making this retrograde particularly unpleasant?
And yes, even though Mercury is prograde (that is the right word, right?) now, I'm still feeling its effects...boy, am I feeling its effects...maybe there are just nasty transits in my chart? I don't know, but I've been massively depressed for a while now for no apparent reason and it isn't going away...
And when I'm depressed, I tend to rant on about things at 4 o clock in the morning...sorry, everyone!
