Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 "Drew Lawrence" Mercury RetrogradeMon, 29 Nov 2004 17:41:49 -0000 Mercury RetrogradeBy Drew Lawrence - Vedic Astrological Consultantdrewjlawrence (AT) hotmail (DOT) comwww.drewlawrence.comDear Friends and Clients,It is that time once again. Mercury will travel retrograde or backwards in motion from December1.04 until December 20.04. This affects everyone and everything on the planet. This period lasts about three weeks and occurs about 3 times a year. It may have more specific indications with reference to your birth chart, but we will endeavor to give the more general effects below.Since Mercury is the planet that represents communication, a retrograde Mercury usually brings problems and difficulties with communications, automobiles and vehicles, phone systems, travel, transportation, lost luggage, delayed or cancelled flights, mail delivery, computers, internet connections, information technology, and contractual agreements. It can cause delays, setbacks and last-minute changes in plans and arrangements as well as breakdowns of machinery and equipment. The difficulties are for the most part minor but irritating in nature.People become more introspective when Mercury is Rx. The thought process has a greater inward focus. People tend to be more thoughtful, contemplative, reflective and meditative. Self-examination is the order of the day. This is the time when the subconscious mind will come to the forefront and the conscious mind will retreat. Knowledge tends to be absorbed as opposed to learned during Rx Mercury. It is a far better time to sort things through in your own mind with your "Self" rather than having that overdue "talk" with your partner or friend since that may lead to miscommunication and not provide the sought-after resolution.People become slower and more deliberate in their response patterns which is generally a good thing as long as patience is also applied. But this can sometimes create problems in getting your point across. That's why this is not the best time to make important decisions or enter into negotiations or the signing of contracts, agreements or mortgages. It would be better to lure business clients away from the bargaining table and out to a leisurely lunch. Look for that closing handshake after December 20.04.We realize business must continue and life still goes on but really important matters that can be postponed should be until after December 20.04. This is no time to start a business or begin a major project. If it doesn't have to get there tomorrow and it doesn't have to be said today, save it. Have that little "heart-to-heart" with your own heart.CLIENT COMMENTS ABOUT RETROGRADE MERCURY"I read your email with great interest about Mercury going retrograde. This is because the last two times Mercury went retrograde, I signed two contracts which turned into big problems for me.Although I knew Mercury was retrograde, I thought, "What could go wrong? I'm going to be selling a piece of land and it's pretty cut and dry. I sign the papers. They get the land, I get the money and everyone goes home. And Mercury is retrograde for them too, so it should even out.It didn't work that way. At the settlement, there arose a dispute over taxes and I had to leave $27,000 in escrow at the table. That was about a year ago and I'm still waiting to resolve the matter and get my money back."Businessman"My publisher told me that the all computers at the press went on the blink the very day Mercury turned retrograde which he said he almost couldn't believe because it was too much out of an astrological text book."Writer"Since Mercury went retrograde, I've been dealing with internal and external hacker issues on my web sites, server issues, mail server issues, major web site issues, firewall issues, cancelled insurance issues, merchant account issues, landlord issues, etc., etc., etc. The list goes on and on. When we get one issue buttoned down, two more pop up. My programmers, techies and staff are all somewhat exhausted because of all the stuff that is getting thrown at us."Businessman"I think I'm finally finishing up with all the spastic deals from the Mercury retrograde period! Only one fell out. The others were pure hell but they closed!"Real Estate Agent"Thanks for the email regarding the retrograde Mercury. My patients were all four times more intense that whole period!"Psychologist"The computer blew up yesterday and I lost my complete hard drive. The ironblew up. The electric gates went on the blink and the switch for all the lights in the kitchen broke. After all this, I blew up!"HomemakerPLEASE SEND US YOUR COMMENTS FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES DURING MERCURY RETROGRADEDrew LawrenceThe FieldBallybetagh RoadBallybetagh, KilternanDublin 18IrelandIn Ireland: (01) 294-6888From U.S. 011 353 1 294-6888www.drewlawrence.comMercury RetrogradeBy Drew Lawrence - Vedic Astrological Consultantdrewjlawrence (AT) hotmail (DOT) comwww.drewlawrence.comDear Friends and Clients,It is that time once again.
