Hello my dear Steemian friends!
The time that we were expecting like crazy is finally here. Yes are you having bad times? I don't know did you have a fight with your spouse? Did the internet stop in the best moment of your netflix show? Let's just blame the mercury for everything!
Today i didn't wanna wake up as always but today for it i blamed the mercury. God damn Mercury why are you in retrograde so i'm having this kinda terrible morning? My phone's screen cracked like 7th time but at least today i had a reason for it.
You wanna guess?
Yes, Mercury retrograde.
So as you know Mercury passes the earth in his orbit. (I'm just trying to show myself a little cultural by saying things that everybody knows.) And sometimes Mercury slows down and spins backward. Which we call RETROGRADE.
So AGAIN as you know in Astrology Mercury is the key of the communication and technology. So of course this retrograde has some negative effects on all of us. (did you sing with me 'what if god is one of us?')
Okay so in the end everybody says DON'T START SOMETHING NEW.
For people like me it's not very difficult. I mean i'm already looking for a reason for doing nothing all day so again THANK YOU MERCURY, i love you so at least i can blame you for my laziness.
They say think before talking.
Okay again for people like me it's not difficult at all. I already wanna be silently judging everyone from my bed. And right now i can say all to plan offers 'sorry you know mercury is on retrograde'.
They say confirm all of dates and meetings.
Wait Mercury is the reason i'm not gonna have any? See i just checked another one.
They say review all contracts before signing. Oh god thank that i didn't get marry yet so i'll have to worry about my divorce papers in some other time than mercury retrograde.
They say renew your commitments instead of making new ones.
This is the tricky one, this doesn't mean you should call your ex. I SAY AGAIN DO NOT CALL!
Practice forgiveness.
Hmm i mean what is better than you can think for a lovely retrograde forgiving your cat to pee on the floor. That's ok Fluffy, we will survive.
Do you need something to blame? It is here. Mercury is the gift of the God for losers like me. Our great planet is in retrograde.
Thank you Mercury. For 3 weeks you'll always be in my heart.
ps. i hope i seem mysterious as i thought in this pic and someone innocent you know.

Thank God there is no Pluto retrograde!
I think there is actually. I am pretty sure all planets go retrograde, at different times tho.
I heard from Steve Judd that mercury retrograde actually hurts more in its shadow, the weeks before and after. Id have to agree. I also think Mercury retrograde is less crisis and more review. Thats why its a good time to review your plans and stuff, but not really start it or you will have to redo it! I find everything breaks all the time, but before mercury retrograde starts i find my mind sorta hazy. Now that it has begun I have more focus honestly, I am getting stuff done that I have been putting off and I am coming up with ideas and plans and going over old plans. The trick is to wait until after the retrograde is gone and its shadow over to really start or take action on things.
What is also even more interesting is the entire lack of retrograde planets for the first few weeks of the new year. Steve Judd talks about it in one of his videos, i forget which. It is significant because usually at least one planet is retrograde, or more, but I think he says that none will be retrograde and things might be super productive. Check Steve out! Along with Kaypacha they are my fav youtube astrology dudes. I just made a post about saturn and Rick Levine too (i dunno if i spelt his name right) check it out for some cool insights and more astrology info.
