You are right with your feelings. Use this retrograde mercury situation to use it to your advantage.
When it goes retrograde your feelings go for a rethink, it being a time for thinking and not a time for action, but to take advantage for progressing by rearranging your plans.

If you do so, then you will not have not difficult feelings.

The retrograde mercury and all havoc this tiny planet creates for HUmankind is one big myth propagated in the last few decades!

In older times, retrograde benefics and mercury were categorized so unless severely afflicted -- were taken to represent as being fortified by retrogression!

You decide whether this thing about retrograde mercury is a myth or an excuse!

Same deal with the other prime benefic -- jupiter!

A retrograde benefic heightens the influence of the house it is placed in (its highest reflection/expression unless eclipsed otherwise!) but in a non-destructive manner!

Try it out in horoscopes as opposed to imagining creatively or otherwise!!

<is reassuring to know that retrogression is not overshadowed or modified by the ayanamsha/precession that divides western from eastern astrology!>

What makes me wonder is the fact that Western astrology is called TROPICAL! And yet the EASTERN astrology has always been practiced in the TROPICS!!

Go Figure!

I seem to be very effected during this one and it wasn't untill I read that Mercury was in cancer that I connected with the reason of me being UNABLE to speak. I haven't been at all clear with what i wish to say. I am not or should say haven't made ONE GOOD DECISION since early June. I am a bit more depressed then usual, but am also running on a high like I can't stop for a second to think about my next move.
And I have been a major   and wish to only  everyone/thing around me  

Peace, Botyfltiger

Hey Tiger,

don't be so  ... well ....  HARD for yourself; can't find another word, just wanna say : at least you gave ME some good info on tarot; does that help YOUR STATE OF MIND ?
Mercury in Cancer is already diffcult to bear, because Cancer communicates with "feeling", it is like air in water, bubbling, maybe cooking, Cancer isn't much of a talkative sign, I once married a Cancer woman, not easy to understand what she was really saying.
Now when Mercury goes retrograde, I think it is inviting to analyse oneself, intimate, to make us think about what moves us internally.  I should have a look at your chart to see what House your Cancer is in.
Next week, it will be ok again, Mercury goes direct, and you can talk over everything again, perhaps someone will offer excuses to you, for feeling sorry.
