Mercury Retrograde? Hogwash?

This is probably one of the most difficult blogs I've ever attempted to write. For YEARS I've been poo-pooing the sinister threats that astrologers put out there about the looming chaos created by Mercury Retrograde. Ooooo. Just looking at those words conjures up the cynic in me.  Big deal. Mercury Schmurcury.  Hogwash.

Well, grab a bucket of soap, folks, the hogs indeed need to be washed. For the first time in my life, I've experienced the pit falls of Mercury Retrograde, and I find myself desperately searching the internet for the date that it goes direct and stops hassling me!

My desktop computer took a dive, and so I hauled out my trusty backup laptop. Then IT took a dive. So, I used a friend's computer - it went belly up, also. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my computer decided to work again - and so did my laptop.

Of course everything that my significant other said to me was taken totally out of context, and lo and behold - we argued like we never have before. Snippy little things were said, and exasperation followed. Well, actually, it was more frustrating than not. Add all of this to the fact that we moved, and had a ton of stuff to put away and darn it all - where IS that fairy Godmother when you need her the most????

Bottom line is simple: perhaps THIS "Mercury Retrograde" has been fueled by more than just electronic mishaps and poor communications. The news hasn't been all that great lately (I, personally, just tune it out and don't listen), and world-wide there has been a tremendous amount of fear mixed with uncertainty. We're in the midst of a historical presidential election, combined with events that are setting the precedent for the next decade.  Coincidence or is it really the evil doing of the dreaded "Mercury Retrograde"? 

I'm refilling my bucket of soap and washing that hog. Now, please tell me - when is this supposed to be over????

Great post!  My computer keeps crashing, at least once a day!

Keeping my mouth shut . . . and just being available to my mate . . . seems to keep the good times rolling!

As he is my computer guru!

This too shall come to pass!

Your VERY right about the macro energy . . .

LOVE & LIGHT

the last retrograde for me, and a few others I know, was one of the worst I've encountered.  I've always looked on the brighter side of the retrograde and have been very fortunate to be able to say I've had minimal issues from them. There were alot of energy shifts last time and that interferred with much of the usual suspects.
Just a couple of more days, dear Jane and all will be brighter! We'll ride it out and be more atuned for the next one!
