Yes, Virgina, It IS Mercury Retrograde!

NOTICE – TYPEPAD “ATE” THIS POST AFTER THEIR DATA/SERVER PROBLEMS, WHICH IT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE “RIGHT PLACE” UNTIL TODAY, AS IT IS ORIGINALLY FROM JULY 12th 2006. THE MEAT HEADS AT TYPEPAD WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE IT IS FROM JULY 14, BUT IT IS NOT THE CASE, IT IS FROM JULY 12. I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONFUSION THIS REORGANIZATION MAY CAUSE, BUT IT IS OUT OF MY HANDS. I HAVE AT LEAST RETURNED IT TO THE BLOG, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED READERSHIP.

Hi my occulties….

So guess what? I was gonna write you out a spell, but I have 4 spells to write out for my clients. Then like 20 of my clients and would be clients asked me other (normally straightforward,) questions as well, and I answered them in what I felt was a straightforward manner. And they were confused. And I was confused as to why they were confused. And then I tried to explain something to one of my friends (non magical,) and he was confused. And I was confused as to why he was confused. And then someone complained about a land agreement going haywire. And then one of my clients in love with a (mercury-ruled) Virgo was like, “Um, what happened to him…its like he can’t communicate!”

Well, kiddies, this is what is known as a Mercury Retrograde. Its totally normal, and totally annoying. When this happens, your friend Cat gets no sleep, no peace, no rest, and I apparently am also speaking in like Swahili or something because I am sure confusing folks left and right…but its NORMAL for this to happen! 🙂 So, no fears, this apparently quite-intense Merc. Retro will be ending on July 28 when Mercury goes direct, and then none of us have to rip our hair out, I get more than 3 hours of sleep a night, and its okay to sign that mortgage…until about mid-October when we all get to go through this again. 😉 But NO, you are not going crazy, and NO you aren’t the only one wondering WTF is happening and why is everything having to be so frustrating… I mean if you wanted to hear me literally RANT you shoulda seen me at about 10a yesterday…it can be infuriating.

What can you do? Well, avoid fights, avoid signing anything serious like a property agreement…realize that we are all being aggravated by that tiny planet spinning backwards, and in about 2 weeks, we will all be “normal” again. 🙂

Hope that is some help. If this dang darn diddly damn retrograde doesn’t stop me (or the mountainous amount of work I have doesn’t stop me either,) I will be writing out a spell for you all.

Blessings,

~Cat
