Yes, it IS frustrating to have Mars zooming along in Aries AND Venus there too & making cute-let’s-talk style aspects to the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding (Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron close in Aquarius) but Mercury is plodding along – BACKWARDS – in take-your-time stately paced ye olde Taurus.
So, sigh as much as you like but people will be soooo slow getting back to you and they’re not in the mood to step forward and tell you where they’re at, how they feel…And you can time this all the way back to April 22 – when Mercury was at the degree it is turning Direct at on May 31st. Info and communiques from then until now are bound to be developed, improved upon or revised. But you can’t speed it up. Take your Mars & Venus in antsy Aries to the gym or give them an impossible mission to succeed at.
Do not ring up & give someone hell for being incommunicado or not speedy enough…Be too busy zinging off your own Aqua-Weirding genius to even notice. Pretend the other person/issue is off-planet & completely out of range. Oh and was it not SO Retro-Merc that a bank in NZ made an error and shoved $10 million into someone’s account because of a misplaced decimal point?

Help! I have registered and have a password. When I try to login to read scopes, I can’t get past the sign in screen … that is, I type in my pword, hit enter, and the same screen remains with a blank field for the password. I’ve tries IE and FireFox to no avail … I don’t even see a contact us link on the site. Does anyone have any suggestions for me (other than hijacking the thread with an off topic post that is not your job to answer?)?
-
try clearing cookies or you may not be using correct case / letter instead of number ? That’s happened to me a couple of times. Also if you saved the password it may be an old one? Hope this helps

You might be confusing the Wordpress registration passwords with the Scopes
passwords. It happens occasionally. mystic@mysticmedusa.com is my e-mail – i thought it was on the site someplace. I’ll fix that but have a look at the Daily Mystic page re the scopes-
Hey I checked & my e-mail on the “About” page and the “Daily Mystic” page so not so slack as i thought, thankfully.

Thanks goodness – I thought it was me wanting things to move along too desperately that actually pushing them further from my reach! But it’s only been that Retro Merc creature all along. I will try to have more patience and start exercising again to pass the time, and expect a much better outcome than had I pushed/stalked anyone or anything after May 31.
-
So true Cancerian annie, Mystic hits the spot with these post. Explains it all when your wondering around scratching your head thinking w.t.f ?
-
i love the choice of picture Mystic – even the lovely baroque lady seems to be saying (in response to no doubt crappy letter from would-be lover) “Oh come ON! Like that’s a reply?? ” just a thought.
-
I’ll keep grooving to my own tune, ignoring the flatmates, and blissing on my own genius…
-
LOL Mystic – you know Merc’s retro when internet bombs out for 1st time since last Merc X!! Right on deadline of course. So IT dude arrives pronto & working week commenced Tuesday Arvo to discover half contacts in i-phone gone. this hasnt quite eclipsed dishwasher repair dude DROPPING DW last friday. finally back on web to find media download log-ins no longer active…..yes only on deadline. Internet works, DW dont. MM you had DW issues last MercX??

Fabulous Gemini co-worker who is usually temple of diplomacy just had mega bitchy rant about person she had been on phone to then realised it was off the hook and he’d heard it all. it was at the PRECISE moment the Moon Void ended. Poor Love.
-
PS – I totally gave someone an earful about how they ’should have called me by now’ last night… oops. Should know to hold my tongue and wait for the Mystic M gospel…
-
Pfft, that Gem should consider themselves lucky! That kind of thing happens to a typical Sag on any given day.
-
To true, but irony was we were SO FOCUSED on diplomacy over another potential shite-storm all day. Also should have noted in there, the Aries recipient of overheard rant called back IMMEDIATELY to totally blast her for eavesdropped words. HE WAS VICIOUS about it but she totally talked him round in ways any Gemini would be soooooo proud.
-
Beware – ranting Arian have tongue venom… anyone able to talk one’s out of said tirade deserves Nobel Peace prize!

UP I agree – that is a woderful image Mystic. I have been feeling like that girl A LOT this Mercury Retro. And it such a long one!!! Computer monitor spacked out & goes into lock mode and an image of a padlock sits there in the middle of the screen. Yes, thank you very much padlock graphic for informing me that nothing is happening!
Can’t talk to Taurus hubbo as he deeply enmired Taurus-style in internal process, which to the on-looker appears to be moving soooo slowly its not actually moving at all. Semper Fidelis, semper fidelis, everything has its own time, I keep saying to myself. Thanks for advice to take revved up Venus & Mars to the gym.
Its been hard with the Dark Moon, non-communicado hubbo AND being flood bound for 5 days (until yesterday). Thank you so much Mystic and others for your wise & entertaining company on this site – it has really helped me to keep calm and let everything around me take its own time.

sounds tough, nat, hope all goes well with hubby. xx

Relating back to a previous post, I’ve def spent this past merc rx keeping ye olde trap shut which isn’t as easy as one might think with Gem Asc, Saggo Moon and Leo Merc – the words are just there DYING to come out, or insane fixation with texting a certain someone – all of which I’ve managed with loads of qi cleaning and meditation. Has worked. Zip dramas nor merc rx faux pas … to date anyway.
-
prowlers – the academy award winning delivery overdue to Aries-Ex has played obsessively in rote in my mind, oddly tho, ONLY whilst driving (am serial multi-tasker!). thankfully, have effortlessly kept trap shut, withholding keyboard-SMS strokes etcs. Mon motto ’silence is deafening’. teeheeehee. the soundtrack at HIS compound is without doubt themed ‘where did the fun go’. sucked in sucker!! the combo of indulging in self-fabulosity, devoting time to life expansion plans & getting amongst funsters guarantees the exposure of realities as to why getting mad or even is NOT the way forward!. Power to you girl!!

i love this merc retro – i dont know why but the whole gemini mercury feel has sent my life into a world of bookings, parties and events! I LOVE IT!
Mystic i must know! ARE YOU COMING to the Melbourne Mind Body Spirit festival???? you must! you must do a workshop or lecture or something! i’d pay like $$$$$ lol and i’d get all my friends — which would like overflow the expo arena but anyway! is anyone else going???
Direct Merc Retro — can we expect the World communication to go down – as we have already seen with North Korea and the UN????

Does getting evicted when Mercury is retrograde mean that its not going to happen? I was lulled into such a false sense of security that I recycled all my book boxes when the new owners said back in January, I could stay forever. . . Up until this afternoon when they said they wanted to live here now. This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever lived in. I don’t know which particular astrological aspect to curse for this one. Saturn on Pluto/Uranus? Neptune on Sun/Mars/Saturn or maybe Pluto on ascendant. Take a pick I guess. Landlord said he felt pretty ‘ordinary’. Yeah funny ’bout that. I sure ain’t budging till Mercury does.
-
Lol – I am not really a festival person & MBS flips me out – some behind the scenes bitcherel concealed by smarmy smiles. Did you see my Bad Guru post a while back?
http://mysticmedusa.com/2009/04/20/bad-guru-syndrome/
I should prob do a post on the female version though it kinda crept into the comments on that post and I can’t think of a cool enuf name for it offhand. But MM i am SO flattered you think of me…
N.Korea has been mental for yonks. They’re more likely – frankly – to be a prob when Saturn in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn in November and then again the next year only with Uranus in Aries adding to the mix, thus forming a t-square.
I am always super-positive but this is bona fide challenging astro…-
OHHH :O i would think that you higher spiritual legends have evolved over bitchyness LMAO jks jks! i know what you mean though — LOVE the Bad Guru post BTW! — Oh and it was my Pleasure Mystic
plus i’d much rather you give me a reading then some weirdo that resembles a monkey in much need of sunlight and smelling of garlic! omg there i go again
BALB BALB BLAB
Lol i’ll keep my eyes peeled then on Nth Korea shall i?? LOL-
matt – Mystic’s skype readings are so great, & given your budding Astro interest, you’d glean plenty. Astro queries an easy to access quick hit – last year when wondering what to do with my company (as in biz) the Astro Query (based on incorporation date) was, & still is, FAB!! the daily mystic as birthday present lets the gift last all year…..xox

I’ve pulled up stumps on everything for the moment and have been camping out on my front verandah with my “witches stuff” (tarot, tea leaf reading books etc) as my boys call it. Brooding, toe tapping, reading, meditating, more reading, sighing, watching broody sky, day dreaming.
Trying to figure out weird dreams and the odd nightmare – the heart thumping like mad when you wake up type.
Totally not into work at the last few days, everything feels heavier than normal.
-
I have been knitting… knitting until my hands cramp. Not doing anything else, just knitting.
-
That sounds really relaxing, I envy anyone that can knit.
-
V-Go-Go….knitting was pivotal in my divorce from Peter Stuyvesant. Busy fingers & cigarettes don’t mix. Am crap knitter tho totally love the proces. Is there a Merino inspired deadline? or need for ultimate distraction? what re you knitting?
-
It started with a crafternoon…
… my lady friends and I got together and made things all afternoon (I now have a very dogdey looking toy cat that I love and have called bowie cos his eyes don’t match). My aries friend was going on about how she wished she could knit and I pointed out that I thought I could (my grandma, who passed 2 years ago, taught me when I was young). I then pulled out my knitting bag (has see 3 different countries and countless houses) and started up a scarf, I guess.
My housemate has a book that’s called ‘Stich’n'bitch’ and has all these interesting ideas… and tells me how to purl, stocking, rib, cable, add on and do button holes… I can only do garter.
I thought I was just going to do the scarf and be over it… but I spent half an hour in spotlight yesterday, getting new wool (opshops are great, but you don’t get as much selection).
Am wondering whether to be more adventurous with my knitting.
Just getting my groove back.
… and each stitch is closer to the new me, I guess. Whoever the fck that is…-
‘crafternoon’….love it!!
am passing that on to a group of Uber-style forward Gen Y Queens. my own effort ended up miles away from the scarf it was intended to be…….like I said, am crap knitter, but the repetitive process appeases other OCD tendencies LOL x

I crochet tartan rugs much to my friend’s amusement. It really surprised me but men love them as gifts specially if they have a claim to a particular clan.
-
Funnily enough… one of the main rules in this book is to never knit a jumper for a boyfriend/guy/partner…. cos it wil break the relationship up…
-
Virgoan late husband loved the sweaters I knitted for him.-
The premise was that if the guy/partner/latin lover didn’t like the jumper, the knitter would be resentful of having spent all that loving time creating it.
Glad that wasn’t the case with you:)

The painting reminds me of when a gemini gets the phone bill

So glad I read MM’s post today too as I would gone off in a Leo huff or rant or both and spoilt something that hasn’t even started yet!! Glad I checked in. the photo is me when men in my life don’t do as they should. i’ve been into balancing my chakras to stave off the Merc Retro and its working plsu everything time of think of “him” I Aum purposefully.
-
In typical Scorpio shoot-first-ask-later style, I did everything wrong. .. exactly as you said, harangued someone about not responding/replying, cut him off in a huff, now he thinks I’m nuts. Live and learn . . .
-
Oh glad I’m not the only Scorp that does that then. Wish I could learn …
-
-
This explains a whole bunch. I’m a little relieved.
Does the lady in the picture remind anyone else of Marie-Antoinette?
-
Fabulous mercury retro communication! – have been chasing a very high profile academic to come and visit and network – just checked the last e-mail i sent (before I gave up) was on 25 April!
he just got back to me and will be here next week!
-
Too funny. And once again MM is spot on in her reading astroscape. I returned from my Mediterranean jaunt v early on Monday morning. (Pretentious- moi??) Had left two voicemail messages with my mum and my brother on Monday and Tuesday. No reply. I have a broken wrist and a seriously incredible case of jetlag. But here I am at work (in body not mind).
So…. as I was walking to work today, in my head I compiled a seriously agro third voicemail message about their tardiness in acknowledging my existence, let alone my return to the southern hemisphere.
Luckily I rang a third time and managed to speak pleasantly to my brother. My mum is off on a pensioners’ “mystery tour”. The mind boggles.
OK, so jetlag and pain killers aside, I am to be overly patient with everything. Might even manage to get through my backlog of work emails at some stage in the day. No need to rush such things tho…..
-
Mystic – assumed today’s Daily Mystic went AWOL c/ crazy Merc-esque Retro thingo! glad glitch sorted itself. starting the day sans the Daily aint quite the same!!
gotta get back to deadlining & deets – xox
-
I work as a tech… can the Mercury retro thing just GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE?
I switched on something that will play different marketing around the national broadcast… only… it did actually switch on (which happens) only I didn’t notice cos somebody else was having tech issues with a phone.
Now my boss is totally going to kick my arse (which he has been looking to do for a little while). I almost got to a full month without him calling me up and abusing me.
*shakes fist at mercury*
*hard*-
LOL. Our colour printer started getting creative today, spitting out psychedelic images. It looked like as if it had run out of cyan toner but there were no messages about the toner being low.
5 people standing round a machine looking puzzled, pressing all sorts of buttons etc.
It always makes me giggle when stuff like that happens, knowing it’s just Mercury having a bit of laugh… -
Yes Scorpalicious, bought a new printer yesterday and from first print went haywire, 24 hours later realised that it had picked up the wrong driver, one click all fixed, I think? see if yours has found the ‘gimp’ driver if its hanging off a mac. It makes the images veeeery interesting .
-
it’s all good David. We turned the printer and the Fiery off for a few moments, restarted and it was perfectly fine…. weird! I’ve learned not to panic. It only makes things worse. I’m now starting to visualise Mercury Retro as the court jester.

i’ve just realised that my long service leave dates 22 April to 31 May coincided exactly with the mercury retro and i’ve had quite possibly the best holiday i’ve ever had in my life.
is that a co-incidence?? any ideas/input??
and is it safe to buy stuff on 31 May, as in expensive GPS unit??
-
Oh what a hideous merc-retro … I just found out that since first week of May Australia Post has been returning ALL my mail and parcels with nice little ‘no longer at this address’ stickers. Whahht? And I can’t do anything about it til Monday because I have to fly to Sydney tomorrow and give presentation. But … I (just) read a nice Merc retro story about a uni student in Perth who was fretting about money and decided on a whim to check an Ozlotto ticket her father gave her last July. She is now $13 million richer
