Mercury Retrograde Rant

So I feel like I learned a lot of important lessons during Venus Retrograde that helped me grow as a person. But this Mercury Retrograde.....Maaaannnnn. I feel like I am seeing everyone's true colors and it is not pretty! I know you're not supposed to end any relationships during this period, but the urge to do so is so very strong. This means I have to play nice for 10 more days. 10!!! That seems like a lifetime right now. I definitely want to wait until retrograde is done so none of these pop back up, but c'mon Universe. When October 10 hits, these mofo's are getting iced out Aquarius style.

Rant Over.
Thank you for listening!

Yeah, I thought it was just electronic issues as well. But I've had communication issues with my boss, family, friends, etc. One of my relationships completely broke down today. Just ugh!!!!

Hmm practice forgiveness

Thanks for that, and I agree 1000% about letting go. It has taken me forever, but I feel like this is the first time I'm finally just letting someone walk away and let it be. It's different, but good.

I have to work on forgiving when the other person doesn't apologize or acknowledge they're wrong. That's very hard for me. But I can also forgive and be completely done.

So merc also affects relationships??
I thought electronics communications. Well I guess ur right if they are not communicate as much or in style one expected so just wa t to end it n not deal with it. If that's merc retro then yes it is happening.

Merc retrograde did affect teh relationships as well..

I broke up with my ex through Mercury retrograde.

I believe that if you break up with someone during retrograde, it's not supposed to last. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing for you though.

le sigh...another retrograde :/

Just two days ago, a friendship with a Taurus ended. I had a really bad day and he asked to hang out and I agreed but warned him that I looked kind of rough as I still hadn't been home that day.

He criticized and told me that I looked like someone going through a lot and that it wasn't pretty, so he is distancing himself from me.

To me, that certainly showed me his true colors. I felt really upset. I would never abandon a friend no matter how they looked if they had a bad day especially if they didn't have a chance to go home. In fact, I love being there for people on their bad days and working to make them laugh or eat tons of food and watch movies. You know? Idk. It really showed me that that friendship was all surface-based. "If the surface doesn't look good, adios. Call me when you're only wearing makeup and dressed up" seems like a quote that describes this sarcastically enough.

It still irks me! Like what? I look like I'm going through a lot and it's not a pretty sight, so I need to distance myself? What? What kind of delusional world does someone live in to think it's okay to drop someone (okay or "distance" them) purely based on one occurrence and them having a bad day? "Through the thick and the thin" OH WAIT. when the tough get's going....OH YEAH GOTTA GO, bye.

I was born in Merc Retrograde, so overall it's not TOO terrible for me, but holy cow. I think this was the most prominent occurrence I've had so far that opened my eyes to things.

As for a relationship, yeah there has been lack of communication with another person, but I have ways of making him open up. He got pretty sassy the other day when I told him about my Microecon test. He played uncaring and aloof mixed with sass, and I gave him the sass right back. Since then he's lightened up, but still a bit distant. He's a Merc Retrograde baby too. We had a decent conversation on my bad day and yesterday we spoke too.

Meh. Overall I'm feeling kind of isolated lately. I don't really want to talk to people, but I do. I'm slow to respond once in awhile. OR I'm on top of it but decide later on that I just want to be alone.
