I had to laugh when I was looking at the stats and found that several people used this phrase to find this site.  I've had quite a few emails complaining about the intensity of this Mercury retrograde, and if the...

I must have a weird natal chart because this retrograde has not bothered me a bit.

INDIA AND MERCURY-RETROGRADE
----------------------------

Mercury-Retrograde is pretty identical in terms of finishing unfinished-business of the past.

Modern India had come into existence at

EMIT DARDNATS AIDNI

..M.A 00:21 = SRUOH 00:00

.7491-TSUGUA-51 = .7491-8-51 ,YADIRF

.AIDNI ,ILHED WEN\ILHED

The Rising Sign [Original Sign] of Modern India is Gemini. The ruling-planet of Gemeni is Mercury. The new Indian National Congress-led Government of India, headed by Mr. Manmohan Singh has taken oath at

EMIT DARDNATS AIDNI

..M.P 03:6 = SRUOH 03:81

TES-NUS EROFEB

.9002-YAM-22 = .9002-5-22 ,YADIRF

.AIDNI ,ILHED WEN\IHLED

The Rising Sign [Original Sign] at the time of Oath-Taking Ceremony is Scorpio. Sun is in Gemini. Sun is energizing the [Rising Sign/Ascendant/First House/Self-Image] of India. The City-Code of Dehli/New Dehli is 11. The date of the Oath-Taking Ceremony is 22. This is an ideal situation to take oath for the new government of India.

Keeping aforementioned ideal situation in mind, there are great hopes associated with the new government of India. Because, the future of throne of Dehli/New Dehli has now been decided.

At the time of Oath-Taking Ceremony for the New Government of India, Mercury, the Ruling Planet of Gemini/India is in retrograde motion. It means that Indian National Congress and Government of India have to finish their unfinished-businesses of past.

All the Best to Ms. Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Manmohan Singh and Indian National Congress & its allies!

During this Mercury Rx time I've put new tires on my car, am getting new shocks. Seems like a good time to repair vehicles of transportation!I didn't think of Mercury Rx at the time, it just happened to come up that I needed to take care of these things immediately.
Also it's been a time time for seeing my patterns of thinking and behavior, meditating, expanding inward rather than outward. I've been even more unfocused than usual in the outer world! Thanks, Lynn, now I can accept and take good advantage of Neptune/Chiron. Actually, Mercury is now conjunct my natal Mercury and square my North Nodes/Chiron in Leo. Guess I'll just relax and let whatever happens, happen.

Good awareness, Robin. Resistance is the thing that gives us the problems - when you go with the flow things move a lot more smoothly.

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?
