You are right with your feelings. Use this retrograde mercury situation to use it to your advantage.
When it goes retrograde your feelings go for a rethink, it being a time for thinking and not a time for action, but to take advantage for progressing by rearranging your plans.
If you do so, then you will not have not difficult feelings.

Re: Mercury Retrograde?
The retrograde mercury and all havoc this tiny planet creates for HUmankind is one big myth propagated in the last few decades!
In older times, retrograde benefics and mercury were categorized so unless severely afflicted -- were taken to represent as being fortified by retrogression!
You decide whether this thing about retrograde mercury is a myth or an excuse!
Same deal with the other prime benefic -- jupiter!
A retrograde benefic heightens the influence of the house it is placed in (its highest reflection/expression unless eclipsed otherwise!) but in a non-destructive manner!
Try it out in horoscopes as opposed to imagining creatively or otherwise!!
<is reassuring to know that retrogression is not overshadowed or modified by the ayanamsha/precession that divides western from eastern astrology!>
What makes me wonder is the fact that Western astrology is called TROPICAL! And yet the EASTERN astrology has always been practiced in the TROPICS!!
Go Figure!

I seem to be very effected during this one and it wasn't untill I read that Mercury was in cancer that I connected with the reason of me being UNABLE to speak. I haven't been at all clear with what i wish to say. I am not or should say haven't made ONE GOOD DECISION since early June. I am a bit more depressed then usual, but am also running on a high like I can't stop for a second to think about my next move.
And I have been a major :smt074 and wish to only everyone/thing around me :smt064
Peace, Botyfltiger

don't be so ... well .... HARD for yourself; can't find another word, just wanna say : at least you gave ME some good info on tarot; does that help YOUR STATE OF MIND ?
Mercury in Cancer is already diffcult to bear, because Cancer communicates with "feeling", it is like air in water, bubbling, maybe cooking, Cancer isn't much of a talkative sign, I once married a Cancer woman, not easy to understand what she was really saying.
Now when Mercury goes retrograde, I think it is inviting to analyse oneself, intimate, to make us think about what moves us internally. I should have a look at your chart to see what House your Cancer is in.
Next week, it will be ok again, Mercury goes direct, and you can talk over everything again, perhaps someone will offer excuses to you, for feeling sorry.

I have loads of trouble, misunderstandings, arguments, emotional outbursts, pain, & lots of headache during Mercury Retrograde, but the past 2 times have made me to think in different ways & understand better.
Mercury Retrograde is neither fully good nor bad, it is a bit of both, mainly depending on the circumstances, reactions, feelings, outcomes & consequences. We can't change anything except out reactions, which has the power to change the outcome. & always try to keep a positive outlook.

Can you tell me if mercury is retrograde or direct in your natal chart.
This could aid my research which I will share in this thread?
Thank you,

Hi Guys,
Whoever has mentioned that when mercury turns retrograde it affects them in dfferent ways could inform me if the mercury is retrograde or direct in their charts would aid in my research, which I intend to share in this thread in due course.
If they could post their birth times with their place of birth it wuld be perfect.
Thank you,
RishiRahul

No you do not have mercury retrograde in your birth chart; nor do you have progessed mercury retrogessing at this age. But you could be having mercury ascendant.
Thanks,,

Dear Evie,
Mercury retrograde is to western astrology what mangal dosh (martian blemish) and even more appropriately sade sathi (the seven year itch of saturn that goes on for six months longer according to mainstream but six months less according to some heretics!) and that kala sarpa yoga (all planets on one side of the lunar nodal axis, is to jyotish, its eastern sibling!
And as superficially considered and feared by the devotees!
There has got to be OTHER factors and these earlier stated factors just unlock the door and make it easier for bad things to come inside (BOO!).
THERE is NO single FACTOR in ANY astrology that alone will create disasters or plenty! I beg for someone to show me and have begged for decades. All I got in return was more empty logic and anecdotal outpourings!
Oh and did I tell you about my similar requests about combust planets?
I still maintain:
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The retrograde mercury and all havoc this tiny planet creates for HUmankind is one big myth propagated in the last few decades!

Go Figure! IN PEACEFUL CONTEMPLATION!!
