I just saw on FB that Mercury went retrograde yesterday. I checked, www.ismercuryinretrograde.com, and yes, it will be that way until Sept. 22. When Mercury is in retrograde the site says, “Yes, that may account for the weirdness….”
If you are unaware of what it means, astrologically Mercury governs communication and intellect. When it’s in retrograde, communication of all types can become difficult. Decisions can be harder to make.
This concerns me, because Mercury retrograde is not a good time to start anything new. And…I and my son are starting EVERYTHING new during this time. New lives, new places to live, he a new job, me retirement.
Yikes.
This time-table is not of our choosing. So we will have to work through it. It seems we have done all the prep in times when Mercury was not retrograde.
I have to believe the time-table has been set by the universe and meant to be.
It’s also a new moon, tomorrow. Which I hope takes precedence over Mercury’s antics. The new moon is the best time to set intentions for what you want, to plant the seeds that will blossom into your life. Both my son and I have been doing this for some time.
While I believe these things, Mercury Retrograde, and the New Moon, can energetically affect us all, I don’t believe that they are over-riding and can undo months of planning, and strength of desires, and beliefs. What having this knowledge does for me, is make me more aware of my world, of the energies that wrap around us moment by moment. For example, retrograde may have contributed to me waking up at 4:30 this morning, but not as much as the fact that my son and I are leaving for Denver day after tomorrow, and I keep replaying the lists of things that need to be accomplished before we leave, and after I get back.
So, off I go today on my list of chores, knowing that I may have to work through a little more resistance than I would have expected. Maybe I’ll have a little New Moon ceremony tomorrow, light a candle and set intentions for our trip that it all go smoothly and easily. Couldn’t hurt. I tend to believe more in positive energy (setting intentions) than negative energy (Mercury retrograde). I think the positive energy is far more powerful.
Love and light, all.

Somebody else mentioned this and I asked them what it was all about. It just fucking figures….”not a good time to start anything?” My friend from high school called the other day…with grandiose ideas of “our new beginning.” You’re all ready for your new beginning! WTF???????
I say…get out your pendulum and talk to it….then fry up some frog legs, eye of newt…bat sweat and counteract that retrograde shit! While you’re at it….throw me into the protection mix. LOL
Not like I can put it off. I already had a go ’round with motor vehicle today. Geezus.
You get it done?
No. GRRRR Such a hassle. His car is registered in my name for ins. purposes. He has a loan on it, we are both on the loan, I’m co-signer. So I want to transfer the reg to him, so he can re-register once he moves. He called the credit union and they said no problem because we were both on the loan. Then we went to DMV and they needed the title, to transfer the reg, and of course the credit union has it and didn’t even mention it. So now we have to get the credit union to send it to DMV and I will have to go re-register it the day after I get back from CO. Assholes.
Yep.. sounds about right…but if the car has a lien, they won’t give you the title. Maybe get them to fax a copy (although I don’t think the DMV will take a facsimile.) What a bunch of horseshit. 😦
They have to send it to Dmv, temporary release or some stupid shit. And it’s a credit union no one is ever there. Grrrr
Geeze. SHIT! It’s the retrograde! “Communication”….get it?
Yep. And it’s going on for 3 more weeks. Ugh.
Reblogged this on Lost Dudeist Astrology.
Thanks for the reblog!
You are welcome!
Damn this retrograde mercury shit has reversed my chakras – Again! 😮
That’s what it does. Totally screws with things….I could send you reiki, get them realigned, lol.
Well I was feeling really exhausted and down earlier today – no real reason that I could figure, maybe its that blasted planetary thing! Yes, if you could just send me some Reiki, that would be great! 😀
Is your picture on your site? It works better over distance if I can visualize your face. I could do it later. going out to eat in a bit.
Lets see if this link works https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/1553254_711730712195207_40868164_o.jpg

Or this might be more appropriate! 😉 https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/12471912_1108205469214394_4530105700665671290_o.jpg
