Mercury Retch Frustrations

Now that we’re well into this Mercury retrograde I’m finding I can’t concentrate worth a darn, my mind skips around all over the place jumping from topic to topic.

Mars in Libra is not helping any either because he is currently exactly trine my natal Uranus which in turn is inconjunct natal Mercury. Any transit triggering my natal Mercury-Uranus inconjunct always throws my fixed sign Mercury in Scorpio into a tail spin.

So I thought I would share this lovely image in honor of Libra in Venus’s love of beauty while waiting for some coherency to return. Thankfully Mars moves along fairly quickly . . . unlike some other planets I will not name. :-D

  • You think you can’t focus – beside Mer Rx in my sign, Neptune is exactly square my Mars right now. Zzzzzz. I realize when Neptune finally gets done with my Mars, it will move into opposition with my Mercury (and eventually my Venus) around the time my pMoon moves into my 12th house. I guess I’d better get used to it. Focus is for the unimaginative. ;-)

      LOL! Nothing quite like Neptune to fuzz one out all right. Neptune will meander back to squaring my ASC in late October and I’ll go back to questioning who exactly it is people think they are talking to. :D

    It’s awful for me, more noticeable than usual, because of the multitude of things going on in my life, and yet to come. I took a 2 hour nap this afternoon, which is unusual for me.

      Fatigue is often a natural response to overload . . . at least for me. Naps are an excellent way to let the mind take a breather too. My husband is very good at the 20 minute nap after lunch. It seems to reduce stress too.

      The funny thing about this particular Mercury Rx was how productive the week leading up to it was – typically a time when confusion occurs. Let’s hope we catch a clear period as it leaves! :P

  • haha I like the touch of sarcasm in your post, Diane ;)

    Mercury RX is getting on my nerves this time around – made an order online for a salon sized shampoo/conditioner and when I got it it was the wrong one. Now I have to walk to the post office carrying 2 kilos only to get a refund – the products I wanted sold out and I’m getting nothing for my troubles.
    Really…*head sinks*
    Also, sent a job application this week but I won’t blame Mercury if I don’t get accepted. ;)

      Oooooh . . . :( Soooo frustrating. Hopefully the items you wish to use will be restocked and not discontinued. I have had decent luck ordering that sort of thing online. A good thing too because I do NOT want to pay salon prices!!!

      Good luck on your job application! :P

    neith that picture is SO PRETTY!
    I start therapy on Friday. I did a chart on astro.com for the apt. time and check this: Pluto in 3rd trine my Chiron/Mercury, NN in Capricorn conjunct my natal Moon and trine my Mercury as well. Moon conjunct Libra ASC.
    Scorpio Venus in the 1st. It’s very ‘show me the money’, LOL

      Hey Chrispito!

      Yeah, the guy who took the photo is a semi-retired engineer and a Taurus. Good eye & a GOOD camera. :P

      That looks supportive for therapy all right. Good luck with that.
