My Mercury Retrograde Experiences - List Yours Too (Page 1 of 2)

Well, how's this for you.........The entire incident recorded in this thread started after Mercury went retrograde on October 28th:

As noted in the thread, the "plan" was apparently already in the works for some time, but it all went down during retrograde.    Coincidence?   I don't know...makes me wonder.

For item #3 on your list, I'd expand it to include the idea of misunderstandings within communication.  People hearing another person wrong, totally misunderstanding what was written or said.  More instances of arguing and fighting than usual. 

For item #5, as you noted in the Jupiter/Mercury thread....road rage!!   Seems there's a higher propensity for road rage and car accidents.  So be careful when driving.

As noted in the Jupiter/Mercury thread, earlier this year I found myself being tailgated by a psycho bully in a Mack truck who wanted to go 80 in a 50 zone.....and it all occurred 45 minutes after Mercury went retrograde.   He kept lurching forward to come right up to my bumper, trying to scare me, then would pull back, then lurch forward, then pull back.   He was being a total nut.

Last year when I worked at the hotel mentioned in the above referenced thread, all hell broke loose at the hotel during one particular Mercury retrograde period.  I mean, the DAY that Mercury went into retrograde and for the next three weeks straight until it ended, it was nonstop mishaps, accidents, things breaking, reservation problems, guest complaints, you name it, it happened.   The jacuzzi flooded down through the ceiling, pouring into the lobby;  a toddler stepped on one of those large, heavy duty staples that for WHATEVER reason was next to the pool....had to be brought to urgent care with a bleeding foot.   Reservations went missing or were booked incorrectly, it was just like everything went wrong.  Even the bellhop was laughing and shaking his head about it all at one point, like "WTH??"  I kept telling everybody, "Mercury retrograde!" but, they didn't want to hear it.   But for me, that particular retrograde period is what made a believer out of a skeptic. 

The Friday right before Mercury turned on Saturday night was a gorgeous day here... sunny, cool and breezy. So breezy the roof got ripped off of a convenience store. NO STORM, mind you. AND a tree across the street from us just decided to uproot itself and fall right on top of the neighbor's cars.

THEN I went to work Sunday morning and saw that one of the ladies has shown up for work with black clown paint covering her entire face. Her attitude all morning made it clear she was extremely put out to be expected to work... so she actually spent most of the am leaning against the table.  She quit Thursday morning over a paycheck dispute.  She changed her mind and wanted her job back later that day, but she had already been replaced.

Also on Sunday morning, two other crew members inexplicably squared off as if they were going to fight.   Hubby passed a scene where a car had rolled 4 or 5 times in a ditch, and another where 2 people had been pulled over and were going to jail.

Again, very early Sunday morning, I witnessed a guy curb his little car, blow out both tires on the driver's side, miss the grocery store driveway completely, drive up the curb, over grass, then back down the curb, look at the damage, and try again to drive away. He had to be smashed out of his mind. I didn't bother calling the cops, as I knew he wasn't going anywhere in that car.

Astrology is a component that the Space/Time Suit can utilize for certain types of Feed-Back and General Probability / Stochastic prediction relative to the archonic clockwork.

So like everything else in this zone of distortion, it’s something WE become Aware Of:

And as pods, caterpillars.......whatever, we incorporate such into the:

‘everybody knows that’ category and expect and react accordingly.

However, as the MapMaking Magicians WE Truly Are, WE Know that by this type of input Entering OUR Awareness:

It’s There To Be Dissolved:

And WE Respond By:

Into Something Which Has Never Been

Okay, so during this particular mercury retrograde period I've heard of several coworkers here at my temp job who've experienced all kinds of mayhem.   The girl who sits next to me has been trying - unsuccessfully - to close on her and her husband's new house.  Four times in almost three weeks they've tried, and there's been nothing but problems and obstacles.  I told her....mercury retrograde!  You can't buy houses or do big things like move, or change jobs, or sign onto big contracts during retrograde.     Won't work!

A guy in one of the other offices sent out this hilarious email to everybody in the company detailing his business trip from hell.  It was laugh out loud funny the way he wrote it, I really wish I could reprint it here because people would get a kick out of it.   But yeah, every single thing that could possibly go wrong went wrong, from the plane being delayed, to the rental car company not having his car, then having to hike for a mile to the other rental car company in a bad area at night, which he likened to a scene out of "Escape From New York," to the hotel mistakenly cancelling his reservation and a "surreal" conversation with the desk clerk, then getting a bad room overlooking the "pool", (that's what he called it, the "pool"...makes me wonder what was wrong with it!) to a drunken guy going for a swim at 3 a.m. and capped off with the hotel not having hot water the next morning.  !  Just on and on, total madness.  I wrote him back and told him....mercury retrograde!     They always tell you not to travel during retrograde.  When I talked to him on the phone later he laughed and agreed and said he's a believer now.

Mercury goes retrograde about three times a year, so everyone has lived through many of them. And people have traveled, bought homes, signed conracts, had surgery, etc. successfully during them. What Mercury does is trigger some hiccups in the system -- most of the time the perturbances are of no consequence (like misplacing keys), other times they are classic  retrograde (like the business trip from hell).

On the one hand we have the Mercury retrograde election of 2000 turning into the debacle of the bush presidency.
And the next time election day falls under a Mercury retrograde (11/7/2006), there is huge voter backlash to 2000.

Usually the retrograde effects are annoyances taht eventually are resolved, like my experience buying my house -- they forgot to itemize the borough sewer bill, and then the borough forgot to bill me for 2 years. I was a new homeowner, and there is also a county sewer bill so I didn't know about the borough bill -- and was shocked to find out that they were about to put a lien on my house for the sewer bills plus interest. Since the borough was at fault they forgave the interest and all was well. That house closing also had these fun Mercury retrograde events: I sprained my ankle the night before closing at 2 am and didn't see the (thankfully small) roach infestation during my walk -- er-- limp through, they also forgot to itemize my homeowner's insurance... but that was 16 years ago and we still live in the place, happily.

Would I settle under another Mercury retrograde -- not willingly.
Did we survive it -- of course!

The most important thing to remember during a Mercury retrograde is to check, recheck and triple check details. Use patience and discretion. It will come back to haunt you... perhaps during another Mercury retrograde!

Aw, how cute.    Yeah, my cat LOVES the desk lamp thing!   I have a sweater that I'm no longer using bunched up on the side of the desk under the lamp for her, so she can have a cuddly "blanket" to lay on while she gets her artificial "sun." 

Oh yeah, and Jack Palance.....as noted in Ayahuasca's thread, who posted the Tim Boucher article and thread going on over at Godlike Productions, apparently the guy's already died, like, twelve times or something in other timelines that people somehow are able to remember.   haha  So his "glitch in the matrix" death, yet again, is DEFINITELY mercury retrograde in action! 

Well, since I wrote that thread, we have been moving in and generally having an easy time of it.  However-- the most important aspect of any move for me is having my computer up and running and having internet access.  I didn't want to take too much time off from work, and remember I telecommute.  So, the cable guy comes yesterday (I wasn't there), with some excuse as to why he couldn't install an outlet in my office.  It will be Saturday before they can do this.  I found the longest ethernet cables in the world and proceeded to string them across the entire upstairs.  I plugged in my modem, and the smell of burning electronics hit my nostrils.  I had used the wrong AC adaptor and fried it. 

That's just weird the stuff your company is trying to push through-- and you know they won't!  See, you can be all relaxed about it because it's not your problem.  Being a temp does have its advantages!
