This retrograde is kicking my a......
I'm posting here because of my problems with an Aqua I've been dating. Im a Libra. So I get monthly updates from Astrograph and I really enjoy them because they always seem to be dead on. As you may know we are going through a retrograde and I feel like everything between me and the Aqua is going backwards, it sucks cause it seems as if things will never be right again.
It all started on the sat of the new moon... with his moody ass attitude, that he shouldve checked at the plane door. I was in a great mood by the way and I tried to get him to come over to my side repeatedly but he wasn't gonna be happy until he pulled me down with him, and I let him. I didn't say one word the long drive back from picking him up. When my mood changes bad he's all good and wants to talk but by that time I feel like shit because of him. then it becomes my fault....things have been bad the past 2 weeks
I read Astros configurations (after the fact) and it says to keep reactivity to a min and of course what have I been doing reacting! I feel so out of control, its all crap now...idk I don't want to be done with it but now everything feels out of place...ugh!
here's the read from Astro
August 2nd Mercury retrograde
Mercury??s Station of Tuesday August 2nd initiates a particularly nebulous and spaced out time for this month??s Mercury retrograde - and we will see the usual symptoms of introspective attitudes and missed connections, together with mechanical and communication breakdowns. This entire period -- right through to September 9th when Mercury regains its lost Zodiacal longitude -- is particularly intense due to Mercury??s opposition to Neptune; the opposition is almost exact today just as the retrograde commences.
August 6th First Quarter Moon
The First Quarter Moon of Saturday morning, August 6th, is something of a doozey. This is that stressful lunar phase in any case, where we get to see just how much of what we conceived from the time of the New Moon one week ago has really proven itself to be viable, and where by contrast we find instead that we are running into a buzz saw. This time, Mars is opposite Pluto and square Uranus, while a newly retrograde Mercury exactly opposes spacey Neptune. This makes for some very interesting dynamics of attempted accomplishment accompanying this first quarter energy of tension. It??s as though we are trying to put at least some of the eggs into the basket and they are either being thrown at us or else we are wondering ???where??s the basket????
There is definitely a side of Mars-Uranus that is accident prone, and opposite Pluto as well means that tempers could flare, so it a really, really good time to watch your step and keep your eye on the prize; that is to say, the high-minded viewpoint. You can put it to yourself in various ways. One method might be to keep repeating ??? whenever things begin to get intense ??? ???what difference will this make in a hundred years.??? Another choice that might be the preferred way would be to step back from any reactivity as it begins to take hold of you and not only count to ten, but count to ten again while silently witnessing everything that is going on inside you with the idea of framing it in the largest possible picture.
Since the Mercury Retrograde period is powerful at this time we are faced with having to do everything twice; or perhaps finding out later that we didn??t need to do it at all. Remember to try not to try too hard. It??s a wonderful time however to look into your true motivations, as you can allow yourself to see them, and to journal like crazy regarding your concept of what is actu
August 13th Full Moon
This Full Moon comes along at a volatile time in the midst of an extremely volatile month. The lunations were strong that preceded this cosmic balance point, posed by the Sun and Moon in opposition to each other, and now Neptune is activated and Mars is opposed to Pluto as well. Since Mars is also square Uranus, this brings once more to a head the revolutionary force of the Uranus-Pluto square ??? as the recent powerful July 1st eclipse did also ??? making for a strong end of summer time period. We are being urged to look deeply into our motivation now regarding anything that comes up for us, and to stay as free as possible from reactivity, instead taking the largest possible viewpoint into account; one that includes a better understanding of where we are actually at in terms of our own personal evolution.
It helps that the Moon in Aquarius brings Neptune into the picture, also being aspected for the next 30 days by joyful and energizing Jupiter, serving to soften the reactivity and foster a more spiritual perspective. This can also continue to be an extremely confusing time, with Mercury still in retrograde and opposing Neptune. We benefit from watching and waiting, bearing silent witness to our actions and the actions of others, preferring contemplation to jumping ahead too quickly.
The next few days beyond this interesting weekend are also quite intense. The Sun connects with Venus and retrograde Mercury on Tuesday the 16th as the Moon enters Aries, while the next day Mars conjuncts the July 1st degree, forming a Grand Cross with Pluto, Uranus and Saturn. We could find that issues in our lives from that early summer time frame are reemerging now, creating an opportunity for thoughtfulness and greater clarification. This is an excellent time to journal concerning where we might be heading in our lives both in general and over this powerful summer time frame in particular.
The world is changing around you ??? as you are inevitably changing as well ??? so that it is important to remain as conscious as possible regarding your own arc of development in the midst of massive societal transformation.
I get that you have some faith in the whole "retrograde" thing, BUT if I were you, I wouldn't think too much into it.
YOU AND HIM are responsible for & are the cause of any disconnect/problems going on b/w you & him, not the stars.
So I'd def. try to stay away from blaiming the "retrograde" or something other than the 2 people in the relationship
Some relationships have rocky periods & it's up to the 2 people (not the stars) to get them through that rocky period. Some make it, some don't. That outcome is up to you two.
right....I don't think this one is going to make it. He's acting really flaky and I'm beginning to be over it. He's way young and I knew in the back of my mind when it started that it would mosy likely be a mistake. He knew that I was apprenhensive and was reasurring now he's ghost. of course tho, just like life. blah.

Well there's your answer.
You "knew" from the beginning.
So in that case, the retrograde isn't the reason behind the failing relationship, but instead perhaps it's the fact that you ignored (for whatever reason) your own intuition & the red flags from the beginning
And you already know this of course, but red flags/intuition never go away. They always resurface
If he's not right for you, let it go. Don't continue to be in a relationship with the person you "wish" he was or "want" him to be. If you're not happy with the person he currently "is" it's time to let go or else you'll be looking back next year & regret that you didn't walk away at this point
Don't make the same mistake twice. Doubting your own intuition is why you're not happy now. Don't sabotage your own happiness again by making the same mistake, especially knowing that the outcome will most likely be the same: You 2 splitting
