Mercury Retrograde

[Celtaur]

It's a mercury retrograde. What do you think? How does it affect you or is it affecting you this time around?

I thought it was interesting it should go retrograde on August 2nd, the very day of the debt ceiling agreement. Something else I found interesting was a comment online about how the economy will be dragged down regardless anyway because of the Euro getting worse, and said we have about 2-3 weeks until it comes down. However, I don't believe these doomsy predictions, they always come and go, nobody knows.

Mercury has to do with trade/commerce too, so it's quite fitting.

Mercury is retrograde in Virgo and will be so until August 26.

Personally I'm going to be working really hard this month on getting some things together for my career, but I'm also really into exercising and working out... so this all works well with Virgo.

A friend of mine was having trouble with their internet service and is taking the time offline as a time to soak in recent events.

I have found people more understanding than usual, less abrasive. Maybe they are rethinking how they communicate?

You can't depend on technology. My phone went out today, and I lost everything. I was browsing the news and it just froze. I turned it off, then on. My contacts, notes, images, video, apps, everything completely wiped out. I can't do anything with it now other than use it for what it's traditionally needed for, a phone. I'll have to go to Rogers tomorrow and ask them what to do to at least start the software again so I can re-do everything, although I'll never get back anything that was saved on it. I knew I should have wrote down all those notes or downloaded them.

I'll just have to accept it as Mercury retrograde and make better backup plans for the future. Ughh.

Totally mercury retrograde. So my phone lost all it's information. I went to Rogers today and the girl tried to reset it to factory settings, still none of the basics came up that was supposed to. So, she said she'd send it in. When she was trying to put everything into the computer her password wasn't working then it stopped working because she attempted too many log ins. She didn't know when it would work again, so I said I'd come back. About an hour later I went to go in but there was such a lineup. I may try tomorrow, but I'm not surprised. It seems nothing electronic is working smoothly right now for anyone I deal with.

Amen to that... Mobile phone no longer has a signal in my house, router blew for no apparent reason about a month ago, and two replacements later I am only able to log on sporadically. And I thought it was just me...

Oh no, it certainly wasn't just you. I got an email yesterday to inform me that my phone is ready for pickup. Hopefully it's fixed. We'll see. Mercury Retrograde was kind of annoying in many ways, that's for sure. Glad it's over for a while.
