Does Mercury retrograde create a snafus in your life?

[janais]

Hi Everyone,

As a counselor of astrology for a long time I have seen many different

things occur when Mercury is retrograde. 

Has it made a difference in your life?

Hi Janais!
This is a great post.  I try to ignore Mercury in retrograde, but sometimes crazy things do happen- people take my sense of humor the wrong way, appointments I schedule get confused in their timing, etc. etc... and then I find out that Mercury is retrograde!!!

Some things one just can't ignore I suppose!

Thank you for starting this interesting conversation!  I am curious to see what other feedback you will get.

Will you be making postings in your private group about how we can better "deal" with these planetary shifts??

Namaste!

I too love this post and here's my interesting response...i (completely opposite of loonwitch), will sometimes find myself in the most fantastic flow of things...prosperity flows into my life easily, appointments are on time, and when i think to myself what could be causing all of these wonderful things to happen, i discover that mercury is retrograde....

I envy you, Michelle! Mercury retrograde does pretty horrible computer stuff and misunderstandings and misconnections to me. However, that said, I have been experiencing a lot of that kind of stuff all of this last year. I am beginning to think that there are some unseen forces in this world that would like to silence those of us who are telling the truth. Fortunately, they can't succeed! They can make our lives a little trickier though. And another part of me says, "Oh c'mon, you are just making excuses!" And yet another part of me knows that such "things" can't mess with me if I am really in a place of power and autonomy. So, I just sigh and get on with life as best I can

I agree with you Mikaya about the possibility of "unseen forces" at work in the background and maybe mercury in retrograde has something to do with making our spiritual defense go haywire for a short period. I'm not really sure why the retrograde energy works better with me. Perhaps it has something to do with my sign, or maybe even the psychic skills that enable me to tap into the ethers of the electronic world! I do know that I am extremely grateful for this, especially when I witness so many of my friends and family fighting through it.

In response to Loonwitch-I just posted a question in my group about Mercury retrograde and flowing with it. Michelle, you are lucky that you are affected differently than most. Mikaya, it certainly can make computers go bonkers. It usually depends in which sign it appears. The signs that rule Mercury are Gemini and Virgo and since the next Mercury retrograde will be in Virgo...we shall see where it takes us.

Hmmm, I am a Gemini. Not a very typical one, though; my moon is in capricorn and I think that really changes things. I get things done easily and quickly without much analysing or talk, unlike other Geminis I know. I do love to play with words though, and that is a real gemini thing.

Hi ALL,
Mercury is going retrograde again in January. I will be talking about it on my radio show the first Tuesday. Does it create glitches. Well, I just heard about someone in my life who started a biz when Mercury was retro in the beginning of the year (I warned them to wait). It is quite slow and looks like may fail. Of course there are other things that may be going on also. Just saying.
Blessings,Jan

I believe they can cause glitches in peoples lives, and mess with electronics. I also think for me personally I get inspired and I love how I never allow anyone to hold me back any more. Many people will respond don't fly or travel during Mercury in retro, I do not listen any more to their words, I listen to my spirit guides, they know best if i will be in any tangles from Mercury.
