We have officially entered a Mercury Retrograde, and mine came with a BANG. Here is a brief explanation of what this is..
Mercury turns retrograde September 7th, 2009 at 6 Libra - 12:39 am EST
Mercury turns direct September 29th, 2009 at 21 Virgo - 9:03 am
"In general, Mercury rules thinking and perception, processing and disseminating information and all means of communication, commerce, education and transportation. By extension, Mercury rules people who work in these areas, especially those who work with their minds or their wits: writers and orators, commentators and critics, gossips and spin doctors, teachers, travellers, tricksters and thieves.
Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray or awry.
It is not exactly wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is likely that such decisions will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual, as the critical faculties are dimmed. Make sure you pay attention to the small print!" (This information borrowed from http://www.astrologycom.com/mercret.html )
I awoke after a long night of working on my feet (shortly after retrograde began) to a phone call from the County Jail. My 3rd son is once again in jail and this time for possessing alcohol, giving it to his underage girlfriend and for "getting in the face" of a police officer. Obviously the retrograde is effecting my son's judgment in many ways, and his mouth too. He has a $1,000 bail and I am being a tough-love kind of mom here and I am letting him sit there. I don't understand what in the world he is thinking! I have talked to him about his cavalier attitude these days and he assured me he has everything "under control"... HAH. I am fuming and worried all at once!
It's going to be a long 22 days of this retrograde. Take heed and be careful, everyone!
