A Few Things I Noticed And Want To Share About The Mercury Retrograde

a few things i noticed and want to share about the mercury retrograde™

(im not a professional so these may be incorrect. i will utilize every piece of constructive criticism anyone may make to better myself after i whine about it in my diary)

1) ive observed that people who have many plantes (3+) natally in retrograde don't get too affected by retrogrades when they happen because they're used to that energy, if that makes sense. plus, i can confirm this myself as i have 4 planets in retrograde in my natal chart (for those who are curious, it's not fun)

2) i assume that we've all heard at some point that you shouldn't sign papers during a mercury retrograde and that's actually true. but have you ever wondered why? ive thought about this and ive come to this conclusion;

mercury rules communication in general, right? and writing is also a form of communication as it's.. well.. words. when mercury is in retrograde communication goes 'bleh' and misunderstandings happen. but another thing is you can misread or misinterpret a paper and sign it without actually understanding what it says. this could make a big mess if one's not careful so.. be careful lol

3) this is just an observation so take it with a grain of salt BUT people who were born during a mercury retrograde sometimes say the same things/apologize over and over again but other than that, they are really fun and easy going, at least in my experience

im awkward when i need to finish a post and i kinda don't know what to write here and im just rambling now ugh-

*takes deep breath*

hope this post thingy helped you in some way k bye

Hi I literally know nothing about astrology except that I'm a Virgo? I don't know if I believe in it yet but it seems interesting and I want to learn more about it. Could you recommend some beginner resources so I could learn more about this stuff?

i must say, it's really nice to see people who are seeking to learn more about astrology even though they are skeptical about it.

well, i am from a non English speaking country so almost all the resources i used were in my native language and unless you speak turkish, i won't be able to help you.

but ive heard that many people consider "the stars within you" by juliana mc carthy as a good resource for both beginners and advanced astrologers so you might want to check it out.

other than books, the astrology community on tumblr is generally quite trustworthy and honest so you can read posts about specific things you might be curious about, such as planets or aspects etc.

i hope this was helpful, take care

Hey, how are you?

Could you do sun conjunct pluto synastry please? ✨

thank you for asking anon, i am quite well and i hope you're too

sun conjunct pluto in synastry

° pluto person feels vulnerable but secure at the same time

° sun person feels responsible for the pluto person

° there are little to no hidden things in the relationship

° sun person could feel like they need to change their personality to make the pluto person happy

° pluto person could feel overwhelmed by the sun person's enthusiasm

° there's this constant sexual tension whenever these people are together

° this applies more to the composite chart but the couple could start a cult together

° pluto person could go through a spiritual awakening thanks to the sun person

° sun person could learn to accept their shadow side through the pluto person's help

thank you for this interesting question anon, i hope i was able to give you a satisfactory answer. take care

more astro notes because being a senior is so much work and i like procrastinating 💫📑☁️📔

° people who are fixed dominants, have a fixed sign on their mc, have uranus/sun in their 1st/10th house have gestures they do all the time or phrases they say constantly because it's their "thing". they're easy to recognize in a crowd because of a quirk they have

° have you ever seen a mutable mercury/dominant's notebooks? they own so many notebooks and all of them are decorated in a way that expresses their personality. they're full of different things and rarely have a consistent theme. they will write a poem on one page, take math notes on another, skip a bunch of pages and draw a dog on a random corner... they have a peculiar handwriting that's artistic in a way and it slightly changes every few pages

° plus, many mutable mercuries i know are either ambidextrous or they tried to write with their other hand at one point

° taurus moon/sun/mars/mercury/ic people generally have things they dislike for no apparent reason

° leo suns/moons/venuses hate it when people around them don't say bless you/thank you/you're welcome/sorry etc. to each other. they value acts of kindness, compassion and peace in their community

° i've seen many people with hard aspects between their moon and mc (especially the opposition) and they were all very different from the rest of their family

° cardinal dominants with leo placements are really charming and they have a strong presence

° mercury in the 6th house/mutable moon people like multi-tasking

° scorpio suns might get married/start dating at early ages

° aries risings frequently get in trouble at school because of their hair, accessories or clothing. this is because their appearance is bold and eye-catching and they're not afraid of breaking rules

° libras have the potential to do really well at school but many of them choose to drop out and they actually make good money once they figure out some stuff about themselves

° pisces mars people rarely take revenge but when they do, they do it in such a way that you find yourself in immense pain and regret but at the same time you're very impressed by it, somehow

welp, this was it for this post. please don't take these too seriously because im obviously not a professional and these are just my observations. as always, im open to any constructive criticism as i know that i have so much more to learn about astrology! see you next time!

Hiii🍇how mars pisces can find life energy what to do? Thxx😇

pisces mars can find vitality, inspiration and energy through

° dancing

° creating any form of art, especially visual

° meditating

° practicing divination

° living near the ocean/sea

° watching documentaries about famous/successful people

° the help of a therapist

° analyzing their dreams

° writing/reading poetry

thank you for this question anon. i know how hard it can be for this placement to find their inner drive and energy so i wish you luck and serenity to help you get through your journey. take care.
