Mercury Retrograde. Signs and symptoms.

[Celtaur]

It's a mercury retrograde right now and I've felt that communications have been off. I'm wondering what people's personal experience is during a mercury retrograde. What do you find you experience relative to Mercury during these times?

Sometimes I notice the words just don't come out right, or that they aren't interpreted the way I intended. For instance, I'll say something then realize later... "oh no, maybe they thought I meant this rather than that," or, "Why did I say that? That just didn't come across the way way it should have."

A couple days ago I had the laugh of my life with another person. It lasted, I swear, a minimum of 3 minutes of full on, ab workout, tears down the face, uncontrollable laughter, and honestly could have been as long as 5 minutes. Both of us just laughing so hard. Then after the intense giggling settled, we talked and we realized we weren't laughing about the exact same thing we thought we were. Although it was related there was a slight difference of the precise catalyst. Now that's funny too.

So little things like that I notice. The miscommunication factor.

Here's a funny video about mercury retrograde

I have been having trouble with computer, it has been doing things on it's own.
But I often have trouble with electronics, lights and watches without the Mercury retrograde.

My home furnace is on the fritz, and isn't working. It may be until Thursday until the part comes in. It's cold. I'm not sure if home furnaces are related to mercury... it's gas, but maybe the electronic/computer components put it in league with the mercury retrograde?

Not only did it take 10 days for my furnace to get fixed, after 5 technicians came. The customer service phone reps hadn't clue half the time and scheduling to get them to come in was crazy. The first technician who came in on the 22nd couldn't diagnose the problem, the 4th said the 3rd ordered the wrong part, the fifth finally had it figured out. The plug-in heaters lent to me by the 2nd technician, to hold me over, tripped the breakers and the power went out while I was on the phone with the customer service rep telling them I wasn't paying for these heaters if they got them back and they weren't working, since they weren't working in the first place. I then went to Canadian tire to get new heaters and firewood and when ready to leave the car was shaking. Looked, and saw the tire was flat. Had to change the tire in the freezing cold... could anything else go wrong all at once! My vacuum cleaner also stopped shutting off the same night. I'd have to unplug it to stop it as the switch stopped working. I just thought, this is too much, and the worst of it happened during Mercury stationary before going direct! It's as if stationary was the climax where everything stopped working properly all at once. What a mess.

Now, everything is back to normal, the heater got fixed yesterday, the car tire was patched, the vacuum started working normally again. It was an interesting holiday with no heat that's for sure. It dropped down to 50 degrees at night. What a way to end the year. At least I'm starting the new year fresh and with a Mercury direct.
