11. The good thing about this particular Mercury retrograde

Sat Nov 24, 2012, 01:17 PM

Nov 2012

is that when things go ker-flooey, it seems easier to step back and breathe and take a moment to let go of the urgency. That is always a good thing. Not that I only need Mercury to be retrograde to do that, but it kind of helps to remind..also, it feels a lot different this time. Set backs are not nearly as frustrating. In fact it is kind of fun to just shrug and say.. "Mercury is retrograde" without an emotional charge. I think the preparations for Dec 21 are making a difference in perception, at least in mine.

Yep, I agree.. it is a character builder <---(edited to add this)
