Mercury Is In Retrograde And So Is Your Life, Frankly
Mercury is in retrograde. Again. As it was when you made that decision you still regret, as it was when the relationship ended, as it was last Tuesday when you couldn't find your keys for eleven minutes. I have been saying this for years. The planet does not stop moving simply because Tangelo and the rest of the citrus cabal at factjuice.com refuse to acknowledge astrology as a legitimate predictive science. Their loss. Your loss too, but that was already inevitable.
ARIES: You will begin something. It will not be finished. TAURUS: A comfort you rely on will become unavailable, briefly, then permanently. GEMINI: You will be misunderstood by someone whose opinion you care about more than you should. CANCER: The home will feel different. Not better. LEO: Recognition will arrive too late to matter. VIRGO: Your system will fail. You know which one. LIBRA: A decision you postponed will make itself. SCORPIO: You will discover something true. You will wish you hadn't. SAGITTARIUS: The journey leads somewhere you've already been. CAPRICORN: The effort was real. The reward was symbolic. AQUARIUS: Your instincts were correct and no one will ever know. PISCES: The feeling passes. So does everything else.
My colleague Durian has suggested I offer one optimistic prediction per cycle as a "goodwill gesture." I have looked at the sky. I have consulted the charts. I have considered Mercury, its orbit, its history, its relationship to communication, commerce, and cognitive clarity. I am not able to do that at this time.
The so-called workers at factjuice.com published a piece last week claiming Mercury retrograde is "not scientifically supported as a causal force in human affairs." I believe the byline was Lemon, which tracks. If you wait long enough, every prediction comes true. I have been waiting for them to be right about something. I remain, as ever, patient.
