This Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune conjunction is kicking some serious butt, and ever since Mercury retrograded back into Taurus it's been approaching a square to the triple conjunction. So not only are we having communication difficulties, these difficulties are bringing up a host of other issues at the same time. It doesn't help that both Chiron and Neptune are slowing down as they prepare to change direction in a few days and that intensifies their effect.
Chiron makes it difficult to hide from ourselves, and Neptune makes it difficult to see things clearly. It's a complicated combination of planets, and the square to Mercury challenges our ability to intellectualize and clarify the events in our lives. There IS a purpose to all of this madness - to encourage us to live in truth and become ever more aware of the spiritual underpinnings of our lives. Not always an easy thing to do on Planet Earth!
Mercury changes direction on May 31 which will bring some relief, but it will then move into position to square Chiron and Neptune once more on June 9. This is serious soul work time, and that is never easy.

I have been having a great Mercy RX time this time around for some reason. In fact aspects of it have been actually fun.
Revisiting old friends and situations, re-examining & re-evaluating things, repairing and renovating, rebirthing and revitalizing even!
Makes me feel like I sort of got the hang of it!! True that resistance is the only "re" that is futile during Mercury RX.
Thanks for all you writings. Really helps to navigate sometimes...
I think this retrograde is the strangest by far. i opened my very first boutique at the same time one of my best friends since high school shows up and screws my boyfriend of three years during my opening party. woo hoo! i hate this retrograde!
Purchasing a home during this Mercury retrograde has been insane. It wasn't that there was any miscommunication (what I was expecting), it was that it was nearly impossible for information to move - from buyer to realtor to lender to seller to insurance agent, etc. I had to laugh when the chimney inspector's assistant forgot to fax me something because she had been dealing with the delivery of the wrong carpet to an apartment she owned. Then I gave her the wrong fax number. Then my fax machine stopped working.
But my awareness of it has made all the difference. It has allowed me to go with the flow and not become frustrated at every hiccup. And it encouraged me to not hesitate to call and email everyone multiple times to remind them to send the information.
It took a little more effort, but I feel things were done (and re-done) more thoroughly than if Mercury had not been retrograde. Thanks Mercury!!!!
Thanks for your story Megan, this is such a perfect example of Mercury gone bad. But you're right - knowing about it helps to ease the frustration because we see there is a rhyme and a pattern to the flow of these cycles!
I'm not really sure what Mercury in Retrograde means.
But I have a contract to write a book and I just couldn't get moving. Can I blame my procrastination on Mercury. I did some work, but some days I couldn't do anything. Suddenly on June 1, my creative energy came back. Is it really that simple?
