Insights of Mercury retrograde and technical support

[lilllybelle]

So a couple years back as mercury was stationing to retrograde, I got fired from a job. I was an esthetician. A client said that I had irritated a cyst that she had. My employers waited a month before mentiong this to me and firing me. It was a previous mistake coming to light as merc stationed retrograde. Today at work one of the girls I work with got fired. Some customers came in and said that she had charged their credit card incorrectly a few months before. So today she was fired. Two months passed befor any of this came to light. I've started to notice things we are unaware of start to surface as mer stations retr. Maybe it's the universes way of giving you a bit to chew on while merc retrogrades so you can process it all and come out slightly new once merc goes direct. Any thoughts? Also I'm posting this here because I don't know how to post a new thread anywhere else on this site. Lilllybelle.

This is interesting! So, the best thing right now (when Mercury is days from stationing retrograde) is to do our best to cover the traces of our past mistakes... :D otherwise we may get fired

The explanation would be that older ideas and observations come back to mind during this time. When Mercury is direct, we usually don't have the time or the patience of going back to analyze what happened, we just move on.

Thank you for sharing your observations with us.

Btw, "Astrology Now" is the perfect place for this thread.

Thanks, Radu! I believe this thread was originally created in Help with the forums (http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=22), but I thought it would be more accessible here ;)

Lillibelle, you bring to mind another story of a friend who became so aggravated by a client while he was doing her hair, he finally pounded the top of her head with a brush so hard he left bristles sticking out of her scalp!
Needless to say he was fired on the spot, but this was an afflicted mars under retro uranus transit I think.

What I've found with Mercury Retrograde is that those little niggly things that you thought you could ignore, suddenly come back to haunt you and bite you in the behind. Then again, I've been dealing with Saturn Return energies (3 hits over the last year - with Saturn doing the retrograde dance too) the last couple of times that Merc's gone retro, so maybe I'm muddling my messages.

And don't try to get a newsletter out during Merc retro either ... it invariably has some significant errors, despite triple checking it before sending it out. *sigh* Oh well, life would be boring without these little inconveniences to deal with :D

I find personally, that I become exceptionally irritated with people during the Merc Station to Retrograde. If they want to talk to me, they can email or IM or some other form of electronic communication. I don't want to answer the phone, I don't want to see anyone ... I want to keep the whole world at arms length. Preferably on the other side of an internet connection and a PC screen. Somehow, it's easier to forgive small mistakes (always an issue with Merc retro) in electronic media than when I have to deal with them in person.

Well, that's my take on the matter.
