Whats Your Biggest Flaw and what in your chart causes it?

Since I see no logical reason why Retrograde applies to a "snapshot" Natal-chart, where no motion is involved (only to Transits and Horary, which projects into the future), I was interested in this theory that Mercury-retrograde is a major factor in social awkwardness. I have Merc Retro in Pisces, and I am uncomfortable in many social situations. I did one bit of research--Thomas Jefferson was known for acute shyness, but his Mercury was Direct. It was, however, in Pisces. Benjamin Franklin was a social butterfly, who loved social interaction, and his Mercury was Retrograde, but in Aquarius. So, not much to go on, but it's possible that the Sign Mercury is in is what matters, not its direction in the Natal-chart. I realize I'm going against Lore on this one--maybe a result of :uranus: and :northnode: in Gemini. There are undoubtedly other factors that could lead to social awkwardness, especially Aspects. Hmm....maybe questioning Tradition is one of my flaws. :lol:
Mercury Retrograde? Wait, check :lol:

In Virgo, exalted, but in close conjunction to a debilitated Venus.
