Lol and I have a new Mercurial Bats caution.

Do not, during Mercury Retrograde in LIBRA, attempt to suddenly D.I.Y. a beauty therapy procedure that one would normally have performed by an actual beauty therapist.  I am thinking specifically the random purchase of crap-evil-scent infused supermarket ‘cold’ waxing product on the grounds that one is too busy for yet another appointment and how-hard-can-it-be?  As for the crap-evil-etc product, ‘natural essence of jasmine & frangipani’ w.t.f?  Thank Aphrodite was only one’s underarms.

Don’t impulse D.I.Y. things during Mercury Retrograde.

Is anyone else noticing flirtations and affairs that had died right down flickering up again during this particular Retrograde?

Mercury Retrograde Must-Dos

As well as all the obvious Mercury Retrograde precautions (communications, triple checking arrangements, engaging patience, not signing contracts, buying big stuff) you ideally have Zen-Sloth time each day or productive pottering as it is then that the emo ‘aha’ moments and genius eureka flashes alight. You could argue that is true of any old week but it’s especially the case when Mercury is Retrograde in Libra…And due to the positioning of Mars, watch as communicative mishaps & glitches rip the friendly veneer off some relationships…NOT if they’re fine but where there lurks unspoken hostility et al.

Astro-Alert: Flash Nostalgia

The Mars-Uranus bingle should go a long way toward off-setting the Cancerian Dark Moonie tendency toward Flash-Nostalgia – we’ll all be too wired to go yearning over yester-century but here it is anyway; the combo of today’s Moonwane in the sign of kataka and the fantasia kick from Neptune could cause the most intense & potentially NAFF nostalgia.  Just don’t go letting it affect your actual forward planning. Just don’t go shopping, trying to contact Mr/Mrs Yestercentury.

I did by mistake. My son put a really old sim card in my new mobile fone & i went and texted a whole lot of ye olde peeps my new number. Infuriating. He has Mercury-Mars-Jupiter in Leo/3rd house so he felt this was like a creative & helpful thing that he was deigning to do for me. So I have had some nostalgia forced upon me. And my new mobile is also signed up to some job-search service so i get texts every hour or so telling me to be in some weird place for an interview to drive a forklift. When i try to respond to say ‘wrong number’ the a fone-bot texts back telling me it’s forbidden to respond & that i have to contact my ‘handler’ or something.

All this sounds like…yes…Mercury Retrograde. It is not retrograde until September 7 but it has just reached it’s shadowzone & the fact i’m already copping Mercurial Bats crap means it’s going to be a goodie!  What is the shadowzone???  Okay, Mercury goes Retrograde on September 7 at six degrees of Libra. It then retrogrades all the way back to 21 degrees of Virgo before going direct again. Mercury is at 21 degrees of Virgo NOW so even though it’s not retrograde, it’s entered the zone. Mercury Retrograde purists don’t count it as being out of shadowzone  until it returns – again – to six degrees of Libra.

So beware flash nostalgia, communications screw-ups and temper tantrums.

Mercurial Bats Alert – Retro-Mercury in Libra…

Mercury is soon to go Retrograde in LIBRA, a whimsical little astro-passage bound to make for interesting relationship quadruple entrendres, delicate gameplay & strange back and forthings in nigh everything.

It is, as always, not the time to sign contracts & you need to factor in an extra dimension of potential screw-ups for all arrangements.

But, apart from a few squares to Pluto which i will be dealing with (lol) in the Daily Mystic et al, this is a fairly benign bit of astro-weirding.

It will be – i think – excellent for random flirtations and Libran style synchronicity. There will be a certain charm to it, because it is Libra.

V.hard on impatient Arieans, Pluto-tripping Capricorns & Cancerians who prefer a more emotionally upfront version of communication.

Mercury Retrogrades on September 7 and is Direct on September 29.
