Mercury in Retrograde


so as of 4:45 tomorrow, mercury will officially be in retrograde for the first of four times this year. This typically means that stuff in your life will get all crazy and terrible and unexpected things will happen,

"Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray or awry.
It is therefore not wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is very likely that these decisions will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual, as the critical faculties are dimmed. Make sure you pay attention to the small print!"

Even though this doesn't start for another day or so, the worst of it usually happens when mercury slows a few days prior. I've been picking fights with people, doing really mean stuff behind people's backs, hating everything about myself and my life...just fucking things up all over the place. Also, the moon will be full in about 35 minutes which makes people all kinds of crazy too. I wish i could just hibernate and sleep the crazy off.
