Retrograde, Schmectograde

One of my colleagues today, said, “We must be in Mercury retrograde!!”
I informed her nicely, no, not really. But then I was thinking, there were 6 planets in Retrograde, how many still are. To Google we go and I found this, ICYMI: THESE 4 PLANETS ARE RETROGRADING THIS DECEMBER and we’ll be ending December in Mercury Retrograde. So hold on, and prepare yourselves! 😉

Discombobulated?

I’ve been trying to figure out why I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, out of sorts, agitated, dissatisfied, moody, and overly sensitive!

I found out why by accident at my Physical Therapy appointment yesterday, my therapist, Cara mentioned it’s Mercury Retrograde and asked me if I knew when it ended? Go Go Google-Fu skills. It ends on October 2nd, thank you, Goddess! This explains my communication snafus with multiple work people, and yes, I forget that we’re in Mercury Retrograde. I’ll be coming up with a cute craft system to remember this! 😀

And while I was googling info on Mercury Retrograde dates, I found this article: Six Planets in Retrograde!

That explains a lot!!

T.H.I.N.K

I’ve heard from more and more people lately that have or might be in issues because they engaged mouth and inserted foot. so just a bit of an FYI! I’ve always enjoyed this acronym and hope it’s helpful for you or someone you know.

and just in case anyone needs one:

There’s been a lot of negativity going around.
Yep! Mercury is in Retrograde again until October 9!
It started the day before my birthday on the seventeenth. ‘Splains a lot actually!
Mercury = communication so the above is highly recommended!!

and in other news…

my new mercury retrograde horoscope thingie… yeah. I think I signed up for this. 😛

Squaring some things away may be the name of the game for you today- mind your priorities and you’ll be just fine. Though communication mishaps may occur, if you breathe a bit, before you respond- in addition to those Merc. Retro Gemini action, there’s a bit of Venus and Cancer influence to help you draw on those warmer feelings under the aggravation that may help you to know what to say, in a much better way. Just be sure you’re taking that step back and not reacting. Respond, not react is the way to go throughout any Mercury retrograde cycle- but especially in Gemini.
