Mercury in Retrograde?

In the course of the last three weeks, I have had 2 hard drives crash, gone through 2 mobile phones and 3 cordless home phones, not too mention the countless emails that have been sent and i have not received.

Is mercury in retrograde or am I just f*cked? :?

You and duffys_sis have the same tech bug.

I broke my foot AND got laid off in the past few weeks...I don't know who or what to blame, but it's been super sucky!

This is great! I am not cursed and thankfully, we are almost through it. It is in fact our lil winged friend dancing among the bulls and creating havoc. We should see things getting better around the 14th....

for those interested -

"At 23:54 hrs UT on May 13, Mercury slips back into Taurus, the sign of the Bull. Taurus is a Fixed Sign, so the other Fixed Signs – Leo, Aquarius and especially Scorpio – will notice the developments and the effects of the Fixed Stars that are active. Mercury retro in Taurus suggests problems with the practical application of knowledge and ideas, and disruptions or communication breakdown in diplomacy, the arts and the pursuit of money, possessions and pleasure. Too much focus on the maximisation of gain and of enjoyment can have the opposite effect; erratic changes can suddenly develop, much to everyone's surprise, or even consternation. Talkfests may drone on and on, creating hoarseness as well as boredom for the participants.

To put it another way, Mercury retro in Taurus brings stubborn blockages connected with new ideas, powers of concentration and putting ideas into a practical format. Access to the most direct route to your goals is likely to be blocked by breakdowns in communication and unwillingness to compromise. Beauty treatments, dinner parties and artistic (especially musical) presentations will be especially subject to things going awry."

Sorry you got laid off, Flexi. Let me know what kind of job you are looking for and I will keep an eye out (if you are, indeed, looking).

thanks, danielle, but am going to sit out of the game a bit

Enjoy it!
