 By Bonijean Isaacs Mar. 28, 2006 ASTROLOGICAL HAPPENINGS AND THE JOYS OF AND MERCURY RETROGRADE are upon us….. Mercury goes into retrograde three times a year. Miscommunications and Murphy’s Law Rules during a retrograde. The check is lost in the mail. The computer goes bonkers and the warranty to fix it is tangled up in red tape. Most of the time, I take the retrogrades in stride, use them as a time of reflections, take notes and move forward when Mercury goes direct. March 2 Retrograde at 26 degrees Pisces March 25 Direct at 13 degrees Pisces Mercury Retrograde has been an adventure this month. Mercury Retrograde coincided with Lent which is a time of giving up something and Spiritual Reflection for those who practiced the Catholic faith. This is usually the norm for most Astrologers during a Mercury Retrograde but especially so with Pisces which symbolizes the Christian Era and the Spiritual Realm in General. I decided to give up Sugar and White Flour for Lent. It is not because I am a Catholic or interested in some great altruistic motivation. I was interested in the physical benefits of giving up the bad stuff. I want to be able to fit last year’s blue jeans that seem to have gotten smaller. That was the good aspect of Mercury Retrograde. Now for the frustrating aspects; on the night of the retrograde, I needed a book on "Arabic Parts" Aspects of Astrology. I ordered it at the Amazon site. The computer billed it under my old card which had been replaced but would not allow me to submit the new card. I finally found a number to call them. There was no response. I finally sent them an email, "Fix it or I will order the book from a competitor." They never fixed it but I decided to wait until after the retrograde to reorder the book. I was getting ready to do my son’s taxes. I opened his W2 form and it said he’s earned Eighty Dollars. He had been working for Shoney’s for over a year. I called the Restaurant, they changed owners just before he quit and don’t have a clue about where the new owner is. A call to the Infernal Revenue Services will be in order but only after the Retrograde. My computer is going nuts. I can’t get into my gmail which is my business account. I will have to do reinstall Windows but only after the Retrograde. On the day before the Retrograde, It was Friday. I have a Friday Night 12 Step Speaker meeting that I set up each week. I usually get there thirty minutes before the meeting to make coffee, set up chairs and delegate a different speaker if the one that I had on schedule doesn’t show up. I was happily reading a trashy romance at 4:45 PM when my son advised me that he needed to be down town at 5:00 PM. I quickly changed my clothes and started looking for my keys. Lo and Behold! They were not in the usual place. I hid them from myself real good this time. I visualized mulitudes of people standing outside the meeting place mumbling about the flake who didn’t show up to set up the meeting. What an attraction she is with twenty eight years of teatotaling. I spoke to St. Anthony the Patron of Lost Objects and did a quick Seventh Step Prayer, "God! I humbly ask you to remove my shortcoming of constantly losing my keys. We tore the house apart looking for the keys. I finally turned on the computer - opened up the WinStar Astrology Program and fired up a Horary Chart. THE QUESTION!!!! KEYS! KEYS! WHERE ARE MY KEYS!!!!! march 24, 2006 0612:13 PM EST Greenbrier County, West Virginia 080w32'22 37n32'33 The Second House is Libra The Ruler of Libra is Second House Ruler is Venus Venus is in Fifth House with Aquarius The Keys are someplace High within women’s things near a place of pleasure.on the Southeast side of the House. Lo and Behold. I found the keys tangled up in the sweater that I changed out of in my bedroom.. A place of Pleasure? All I ever do is sleep there and ready trashy romances. Nevertheless, my son was late when I dropped him off downtown. I drove to the meeting asking my Higher Power to help me bend the time in my favor. I made it to the 7:00 PM meeting with ten minutes to spare. When I got there, someone had already made the coffee. The speaker didn’t show up as usual. The gentleman who was setting up the chairs asked who was speaking. "You are the Speaker!" I told the man. The meeting was a marvelous success and the retrograde is over until next time.
