Mercury retrograde
May 26 - June 19, 2008

Here we go again... Mercury goes retrograde once again. It happens 3 times a year and it lasts for about 3 weeks. This time is from May 27 to June 19, 2008. Then from September 24 to October 15, 2008 and then from January 11, 2009 to February 1, 2009.

Stationing degrees: 21Gem32 and 12Gem58. Watch carefully how the stationing of Mercury at these degrees influences your natal chart in order to understand the personalized impact on your life.

This is an important period, and we should be aware of the effects associated with this astrological influence. Since it is so often, we must learn what it means and how to take advantage of it.

3. A very wise friend (who believes very strongly in astrology) recently said...

"The human will is more powerful than any planetary energy." when we decided to start a really important, time-consuming project during the last Mercury retrograde period. Mercury then proceeded to completely and utterly kick our butts! :rofl: (We weren't laughing then though. :cry:)

Mercury now has my full respect. :)

[Sweet Freedom]

12. Thanks

I've not been around as often as I used to be. Maybe the summer months will change that.

13. StarIQ?

wow.
Just from visiting the website? Maybe I will put NoScript back into action on Firefox...

[Sweet Freedom]

15. Well, I stupidly clicked the active X bar.

When I clicked on my horoscope, it only revealed the first few words and the activeX bar popped up at the top, so I clicked it and bam! Trojan.

I'm still recovering. Fortunately, I have a great IT guy at work and I called him for help, so he's been guiding me through this.

11. well

Our power went out this morning (circuit outage). When it came back on I put the clothes in the dryer and I had a call from my daughter. She was crying. She had wrenched her back at the park and couldn't pick up her son. I have her car now and my car is still at the park. She is at her house with him taking a nap. I have a lot to do today, apparently. Off to the grocery..............

Mercury retrograde?

14. soothing and healing energy

for your daughter...

16. Merc ret is physically kicking our asses this time around

Hi everyone--sorry I haven't been around much lately--I've missed you all! But after a round of work chaos (all taken care of), my mom came down with some hellish stomach virus and she was down for the count for a couple of days over the Memorial Day weekend. Then Mr. MG got sick--coughing and feeling generally icky. Then *I* ended up with the plague from my mom and spent lots of time clutching the porcelain god and wishing for death. And today I finally got Mr. MG to go see a doctor and we found out he has pneumonia! Gah. :banghead:

Counting our blessings--so far MG Jr. hasn't contracted any of this nastiness. I hope the gods continue to watch over him, because it would truly be awful for him if he caught either one of these nasties.

Waiting for Merc ret to be over with, with alllll my heart... :cry:
