Mercury is Forward again

Mercury was retrograde:
September 24th to October 15th in Libra

I can usually tell when Mercury goes retrograde...mental clarity seems to be not as sharp and I can see it affect people around me but I don't mention it. The first thing I do is to get my beingness outside of this universal default program by simply just being outside of it. I usually try to do this anyway so I am not that easily influenced by astrological events in the zodiac but especially during this foggy head time that happens a few times a year.

By the way, RCA and other radio companies in the past knew full well that there is an absolute influence on Earth from the positioning of the planets. If you want to seriously blow your mind, research that subject

I do believe in some astrology even though I believe we are using the wrong charts because the location of the sun in the zodiac as we consider ourselves in the present time was really where the sun was in the zodiac a LONG TIME AGO. If I can find the chart I want to show, I'll post it.

This does create a mass consensus and therefore does has an influence on the collective conscious - even though possibly wrong.

Anyway, here is a brief blurb on this phenomena:
What is Mercury Retrograde?:

This happens three to four times per year, when the planet Mercury slows down, and appears to stop (station) and move backward (retrograde). It's an optical illusion, since there is forward movement, like speeding by a slow-moving train -- as it recedes, it appears to go backward.What are the Mercury Retrograde dates for 2008?:


January 28th to February 18th in Aquarius
May 26th to June 19th in Gemini
September 24th to October 15th in LibraWhat happens during Mercury Retrograde?:

Since Mercury rules communication, it's said that everything goes haywire in that area -- emails get deleted or bounced back, mail is returned, calls go out into the ethers, etc. Some people find that their computers go on the fritz or phone lines go down. I've never seen the hard data on this, so make your own observations. It does seem though that miscommunications abound during the retrograde period.

Wow

Thanks Aaron for this! I wondered why yesterday during work I couldn't focus as much as I usually do.

Aaron,
I will add I do believe in astrology. But that would not be surprising because I did study it for about 14 years! What I learned in that 14 years of astrology is that in reality it is so extremely complex to actually get a good reading using astrology you need someone who is an expert. I am not one of those people though That is why it isn't wise to pay to much attention to your daily horoscope because it is just showing a trend for that sign and leaves out 99.9% of what is really going on. Also, astrology when done by an expert shows you tendencies not absolutes, therefore giving you the opportunity to change things by using your free-will.
Yes, when Mercury goes retrograde it does mess big time with all types of communication and that has been proven. It effect even down to the simplest forms of communication even the conversations you have with yourself. If a person is aware of mercury being retrograde you can use that knowledge to create clarity. Thanks for sharing the dates!!
