Merc rx and me, February/March 2007

Back-end shadow period (30 January to 9 February):

• Met up with a colleague from a previous place of work who just joined my current place of work
• Lost credit card, had to get a new one

 

Found my phone!

My mobile phone has been found. Mercury really is the ‘cosmic trickster’!

 

Lost my mobile phone :(

Mercury needs to hurry up and move forward already. The past week has basically been one long string of delays and technological mishaps. The internet server at work has stalled multiple times, I’ve found it impossible to make long distance calls the past couple of days without a loud screeching in the connection, and yes, I seem to have misplaced my phone, which I last saw this morning.

 

Mercury Rx in Pisces and the White House

I meant to post earlier but Mercury going direct has meant that my schedule’s picked up again! Since I’m no astrologer, I won’t attempt to relate Mercury Rx to recent world events on my own, but instead put together a sample of what other astrologers have foreseen.

Pat Paquette, of The Pisces Chronicles, wrote on 25 February 2006 that:

As Mercury retrogrades through Pisces, I expect that some embarrassing truths are going to emerge about what the White House has been up to. This may include information about who our real enemies are and to what extent this administration has been involved with them.

In her update on 26 March 2006, a day after Mercury went direct, she identifies the following incidents, and I quote her directly:

1. The most sensational revelation came during the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, who faces the death penalty for his alleged connection to 9/11. FBI Agent Harry Samit told the court that he repeatedly notified his superiors in the month prior to 9/11 that he suspected Moussaoui was part of a terrorist plot to fly an airplane into a building, but that no one would approve his request to get a warrant to search Moussaoui’s apartment.
2. A close second for “best secret” came out of another criminal proceeding. Court papers filed by lawyers for I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, indicate that his trial on perjury charges could become a major embarrassment for the White House. The documents themselves aired plenty of dirty laundry, including evidence that high-level officials manipulated intelligence on WMDs to justifying invading Iraq.
3. [...] a report released by the Pentagon on Friday asserts that Russian spies in Baghdad obtained information from the American military command about the impending U.S. invasion and relayed it to Saddam Hussein. Not only is this embarrassing to the White House, but it could affect U.S. relations with Russia. [....]

I’ll post more as I find them.

What I’ve done this Merc Rx

Mercury retrograded from 26° 55′ Pisces to 13°11′ Pisces, from 2 March to 25 March 2006.

What I’ve done during this period:

• Revised an old paper
• Applied for new jobs
• Started three blogs
• Learned to accept writing as my vocation and practice
• Meditated far more consistently than I ever have in the past year
• Returned to some old haunts and old friends

Not a bad month’s work at all, I have to say.
