Wow.
Hearing this really helps me.
This has definitely been a day (and last night) that has me turned upside down.
I briefly mentioned on my own journal (but without much detail), I have had a lingering unsettled feeling starting from last night/this morning.
The order of today’s events literally got turned upside down.
Last night, I had the most stereotypical Mercury Retrograde thing happen. And of course, in keeping with the stereotype, it was technology related:
I was actually feeling the rumblings of the unsettled feeling beginning yesterday.
I don’t usually rush to buy a custom subliminal. (Before this week, the last one I bought was in May 2021.) But, yesterday, I got the feeling that it would be best to finish designing and purchasing this one by no later than last night.
I went through this very odd rabbit-hole situation of spending quite a long time (and a somewhat obsessive time) tooling and re-tooling it until I’d chosen the final combination of modules. By the end of that process, I already felt weird and a bit unsettled.
Then last night, I went to purchase the modules as I was sitting with my son listening to some fiction as he went to sleep. In order to stay in the same room, I used my phone to make the purchase. And I painstakingly navigated the phone screens to buy all of the modules. I pressed ‘Next’ thinking I would get to the place where I could enter my coupon code and…
…the (non-coupon) purchase had already been completed.
That is an extremely Mercury Retrograde occurrence. It was sometime after midnight.
This morning, I got up and (about 15 minutes late) signed in to an online workshop–that I just learned of yesterday. It was related to the sub-field to which I’m planning to direct my career. I was somewhat unsettled again by the way that the topic was being discussed. Was also unsettled because this workshop was occurring at the same time when I’d usually have meditated.
After that, I had a talk with my daughter in which I hounded her for details related to a trivial topic, and she was vague and evasive. Basically, an unnecessarily dissonant communication. I was glad that she seemed to take it in stride. But I’ll be careful in the weeks ahead.
Then at 11:20 AM, I realized that someone was contacting me for an appointment that I’d thought was cancelled. Still had it. Was not at my best.
And so on and so on today.
It was a relief to read that Mercury Retrograde began on 10 May.
And this has been a long Mercury Retrograde reply.
