For those of you who think Mercury in Retrograde is a bunch of bunk, take a look at this:
When Mercury is retrograde, oftentimes people from the past pop back into your life for a hello. OK, sure; people from your past pop into your life when Mercury isn’t retrograde. I get that. Of course. But-and, there is a tendency for such re-connections to happen more often and for the crossing of paths to be with people from farther back in your life.)
Also, all the verbs that begin with RE have more power when Mercury is retrograde, such as RE- connecting.
Here’s some stuff that’s happened in these past few days (10–1–21) since Mercury went retrograde —
Out of the so-called blue …
- A colleague from the early ‘90s posted on Facebook a bunch of photos of a trade show in 1992/93. I haven’t had any direct contact with this guy in over 20 years.
- A resume client from 1995 contacted me and asked for help.
- An ex-boyfriend from the mid 2000s asked me out. (I declined).
- A client from 1997 contacted me after not having reached out since then – 24 years!
- An “online dating guy,” with whom I’d had delightful repartee, and whom I thought had ghosted me four or so months ago, wrote me this week and said, essentially, “oops, totally missed your message a few months ago; thought you ghosted me, looks like you didn’t, hi.”
- And here’s the whopper: out of the blue, a woman tracked me down — 30 years after the fact — to tell me a painting of my mother’s she won in a trade show drawing I did in the early 1990s is still — to this day — her favorite painting she’s ever had. (And she’s in her late 70s now.)
How’s Mercury in Retrograde showing up for you?
