Mercury retrograde?

[dirtyharriet]

Astrologers have us believe that when Mercury is retrograde all forms of communication are affected and intensified.
Having experienced all minds of annoyances in the last 3/4 weeks ranging from urgent items going astray in the post , turning up one day to find our rehearsal rooms completely flattened, and our gear 450 miles away because the guy who owned the building took it thinking it belonged to the guy who was running the place and we have to drive over 200 miles to get it back. Having to cancel a gig because the promoter has disappeared off the face of the planet and the venue we were supposed to be playing at has never heard of us., our PC crashing, having some loony deluge the messageboard on our website with crazy posts and now after renting another rehearsal room being unable to move in because the previous tenant who was previously uncontactable for weeks has decided he wants to stay, etc etc all this in a few weeks. I previously thought it was a lot of rubbish but now looking in to it, it would explain a lot of things. According to Astrology Mercury goes forward today so I am hoping things go back to normal.

What about the rest of you, have you experienced any effects from Mercury retrograde? Do you think there is anything in this? Do you think it's a lot of nonsense or are we just cursed?

I'm very sorry you been having a lot of problems recently but it's nothing to do with Mercury. Astrology is just another branch of the wonderful world of total rubbish who's principle aim is to separate the gullible from their hard earned.

Hard to believe that in this suposedly enlighened day and age people still give any credence to astrology. It is total cobblers, pure and simple.

Hard to believe in this enlightened day and age that people are so dismissive. Yoko Ono rules her life by Astrology and John Lennon wouldn't do anything when Mercury was retrograde. It's very easy to call something cobblers without knowing anything about it.

Yes I believe in it. Your experience alone suggests that the influence of Mercury Retrograde exists.

Well you've just given us more reasons why it's total cobblers! We do know somthing about it. It's the non science of somehow linking personality and pedictions to the movement of planets etc through space!
