Anyone besides me feeling the affects of Mercury gone retrograde?

it kicks my butt every time... especially in July and August...

communication with my BF hits rock bottom... we are having the WORST time communicating this week... best I can tell Merc went retro on the 23rd...

is there a way to avoid at least some of the intensity of this? the last 2 years everytime Mercury hits retrograde in July and August my life just spins... seems like everything is SO difficult... true to form vacation and other travel plans fell apart the last 2 years... projects fail, communication sux... relationships seem difficult...

any information or suggestions for some relief would be MOST appreciated...

guess I'll run over to the forum and introduce myself...

glad I found this place...

Well lets see, just out of no where my printer broke, my car stalled out..... and I am not fighting with my husband but, my family.. I hate when Mercury goes into retro too! Its a good time to clear out your closets and write your thoughts down. Because this is a nasty time. Fortunately it doesn't go on for that long but.... its still too often for my liking.

MBS:

funny you mention cleaning out the closets and making lists... cuz those are the only 2 things I thought I could manage to do today...

home sick from work... and I thought... well short of the computer what can I accomplish today... and who hits the NAIL ON THE HEAD? but you my friend...

gotta love it... think i'll start on that list now...

things I need to do...

nice to meet you:)

BTW: have you ever found anything that helps reduce the impact of merc in retro?

Well a horrible thing happend Tues night. My daughter was staying the night at her dad's house and his girlfriend and my daughter was watching tv he left for a little bit and 4 men broke into his house while my daughter was in the house and they robbed the house. My daughter (she's 7.5) she ran and hid under the bed and they assulted my ex's girlfriend and my daughter started screaming and that scared the robbers off.

WHen my daughters dad just walked in right after they left and he was able to catch one of them and he beat the crap out of one of them and he is still sitting in jail for it, and they are going to charge my daughters dad with aggravated assult, when he was the victim.

My daughter is ok she still a little shaken up but she will be fine. Her dad and his girlfriend are moving.

But for some strange reason this reto isn't affecting me at all. Is that normal? Do some people not get affected?

My friend said she sat outside the other night and she can feel so much tension in the air.

How long is this supposed to last?

Mercury in retro is always a terrible time! This year seems the worst! We can grin and bear it until Aug 12th I think. . . NO communications

I had telephone appts with my lawyer twice and he was busy and they fell through. So much for trying to get my Workers' Comp case moving anytime soon. . .

Received a certified letter from the Hosptial I work for that I owe them $222.40 for insurance coverage while out on leave of absence and it was paid from my vacation days. I can't get that straightened out. In the same letter, they want a letter from a Dr. other than my own to certify I still have a back injury or I am terminated. . . 'tis all right, I am retiring.

And a refund I thought I had been double billed from Walgreens and went to the bank, to recover funds after signing legal documents waiting a week, turns out to be a charge from 2 weeks ago they did not post that was double posted on the same day. . . no refund!

I think it is time for me to 'kick back' and relax & let the world do its thing and expect nothing in my life to move forward until Mercury moves out of retrograde. . . Aug 12th? *laughing* I have no clue how to lessen the affect of this transit!
