Mercury Retrograde!!!
I have a bit of astrology for you and some venting!! Well mercury retrograde started on May 26, 2008 at 3:43 pm GMT and will last until June 19 2008 2:28 pm GMT. This happens at least 3 times a year, last at least 3 weeks.
Retrograde Mercury is the most commonly known astrological signature for Murphy’s Law (”If something can go wrong, it will”).
Computers crash, software develops unexpected glitches, traffic jams ensue, telephone service snarls up, letters get lost in the mail, machinery breaks down, new projects fail. Ah, yes, the trickster Mercury is up to his old pranks again. In fact, at least three times a year for about three weeks each time Mercury has his way with us.
Well let me tell you it has for me…..first it was my van/car the shift cable went out $321.79 later that was Monday June 2nd . Then on Monday June 9th my computer was making this crazy noise when I turned it on…..like it was going to take flight, not a good thing, $170.00 later and a new power supply fan! Then on Wednesday June 11th when I got home from work I went into my bedroom to make the bed….I can’t sleep unless it is nice and neat….weird I know! Anyhoo I got a room air conditioner a few years ago, I have terrible hot flashes and I sleep so much better if the room is very cold…..needless to say the air conditioner was on longer working……so today I went and bought a new one $176.24 and my hubby took out the old and put in the new!! I think this mercury is also messing with my creative mojo, everything I try to make ends up in the trash pile, ugh! I am hoping that tomorrow is a better day and that nothing else goes wrong in the next 7 days……crap tomorrow is Friday the 13th, I may just stay in bed!!!
With only a small amount foresight here are the precautions you can take to prevent colossal screw-ups in your life during the next Mercury retrograde:
- If at all possible, avoid signing legal documents.
- If at all possible, finish projects which involve communication before the retrograde.
- If at all possible, avoid closing big deals during the retrograde
- If at all possible, avoid launching new projects during the retrograde
- If at all possible, avoid scheduling meetings to make a big decision
- Allow extra time when traveling
- Backup your hard drive before the retrograde
- If at all possible, avoid installing new computer software during the retrograde
- Do needed repairs on machinery before the retrograde
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a marvelous day!!
