"Retro" not always cool.

That last Mercury Retrograde was a hellish one. Never, ever look at an upcoming Mercury Retrograde and say to yourself, "Oh, well -- it never really affects me." That's just asking for trouble.

Without going into too many details, let's just say that the god of communications had a grand ol' time messing up my life (to the point that I'm only ready to mention it now, five days after his reign ended).

On the plus side, life is pretty good right now. I just wish I could decide what to do about the Circle situation. I miss them, but maybe we were only meant to come together for a short time, and then our lives would spin away from each other? No answers seem apparent at the moment. Need to contemplate it a bit more, I guess.

Mercury Retrograde is Over!

About three times a year, for about three weeks, the astrological equivalent of "Murphy's Law" rears its ugly head.

Mercury Retrograde is a time when things having to do with communication can often go completely haywire.

But it's over now, so we can all breathe a little easier (until the next one, at least -- starting September 24).

(Maybe then I'll write more about it, assuming the blog doesn't vapourize or something.)
