These are the times when I am glad I believe in woo. Because all those poor people who don't believe in woo just think they are losers right now. You and I know it's Mercury.

Still, it's been beating me up a bit.

I know! I love that about all those who disparage woo!

The other thing is that they think it will last forever when we know when it will end.

Oh, and an interesting tidbit: a couple weeks ago a friend called me to talk about his good fortune. I had forgotten that earlier in the year, he had been very depressed about his job and how his career was shaping up.

I looked at his horoscope and told him that things would change in August of last year.

In fact he had kept a record of what I told him and said he was amazed at how correct it was. He is a nonbeliever in astrology. He's still a non-believer, but an amazed non-believer.

Right now my family is selling a house. We got an offer right before the retrograde. I told everyone that it wasn't going to move till March. By now they know enough to just wait out all the obstacles that have sprung up.

I understand people who say it doesn't make any kind of cause and effect sense because they are right.

But it works!

Reflect, regroup, reconsider, review, revise, reconnect.
A time to slow down & take care of those things that you have gotten "a round to" yet.
Too much negativity is placed on MercRx. It actually serves us well, if we SLOW DOWN and pay attention to what we need to address.
Only in our rush, rush world is this considered a bad thing.

Happy MercRx, all! Use it wisely!
