OH, NO! IT’S BEGINNING AGAIN!
POSTED BY BEVERLEE, Sunday, June 03, 2007
Do you feel it? Oh, boy! I certainly do! I sometimes think I would recognize the indications even if I lived all alone on a desert island with no radio, television, magazines, newspaper or ephemeris. Yes, I’m certain I would unquestionably feel the effects of Mercury slowing down preparing to go retrograde, as he is doing at this very minute. How would I know? Let me count the ways:
Very early this morning when I woke up and turned on the light, the lightbulb burned out. Later, when I went into the kitchen for my coffee and turned on the light….yes, another lightbulb burned out. And of course, there they were—the nefarious ants, prancing across my spotless kitchen counter, trolling for tidbits. Invariably, for no known reason, ants show up during Mercury retrograde periods. And Mercury hasn’t even turned retrograde yet; he’s only slowing down, preparing to turn retrograde on June 15th.
My astrology guru, the late Buz Meyers, used to say that we are feeling the effects of Mercury retrograde earlier and earlier. Perhaps because by now we’re familiar with his harassing pranks.
The familiar phenomenon of everything going wrong that can go wrong, has already been going on for several days in our house. On Thursday, our water heater needed replacing, which led, on Friday, to the need for a new water pressure meter. Furthermore, our downstairs bathroom sink has sprung a leak, which is proving hard-to-fix.
Not only that, yesterday, more than a half-dozen email messages that I had sent came bouncing merrily back to me, rejected for absolutely no fathomable reason. This morning, I laundered two new throw rugs which promptly shed enough lint to cover everything in sight. Mercury hasn’t even begun backing up yet and already I’m exhausted by his antics.
If my homeopathic counselor is reading this she’s probably saying, “For heaven’s sake, Beverlee, take your arsenicum!” Been there, done that, and I’m still cranky. I do not like Mercury Retrograde at all!
If you are like me and do not appreicate Mercury's retrograde pranks, you will appreciate at least having a heads up on his timetable. I offer a year-long report detailing when each planet will turn retrograde and how it will personally affect you. Even if you can't do anything about it, at least you’ll be comforted by knowing why everything seems determined to tax your patience! Check it out here.
