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!
