Although I always paid attention to the moon phases because of the craziness that happens during full and new moon, I never paid much attention to the stars and planets until I made friends with Maureen. She is very attuned to all  of this astrology stuff.   I have had a very weird last 5-6 week period.  I remember  the last time Mercury went retrograde which was December, 2009- things seemed awry then.  Maureen told me it was due to Mercury orbiting backwards. I kind of blew her off on that.  

 Mercury in Retrograde leads to miscommunication, information channels get blocked and it is supposed to be a time of reflection.

Around the beginning of April, Mo told me Mercury was going retro again and she said that if I was determined not to let it affect me, it would not.  I promptly forgot about this advice.  Then, lots of nutty stuff ensued. First was I had to call court security to help me when a person got out of control in the courtroom- I blamed this on full moon. But then, the very next week,  had another incident in the courtroom with an out of control person- the moon was waning gibbous so that wasn’t it.

A week later, more craziness that I attributed to  the new moon.  That was a client out of control.  As the month of April continued and then into May, more mis-cues came about.  I was beginning to blame the high pollen count.  Had two clients go weird on me yesterday before 9 am.

THEN today, I see where Mercury is coming out of retrograde at 6 pm tonight.  So, maybe my friend was right.  We should be in the clear til Aug 20, now.  LOL!   An interesting read on the subject:  http://astrology.about.com/od/mercury/a/MercuryRRealLife.htm

So much of the above article rings true. So, I guess I have to start believing we are all affected by tides, orbits, moon phases, etc.  Kind of scary, isn’t it?  Being a control freak, this freaks me out!   Yeah, I used freak twice in one sentence, but it fits!
