<\/a>I knew this would be a tough Mercury Retrograde period when I wrote this post<\/a>. \u00a0With Mercury and Uranus turning retrograde on the same day, we were bound to be in for some surprising (Uranus) twists of fate and weird events and we are certainly seeing that in some corners of the world, especially in the highly charged electrical atmosphere of yesterday\u2019s Full Moon in Aquarius.<\/p>\n- \n
- A software glitch cost Knight Capital, a trading firm, \u00a3290M in trading losses <\/a>when the automated system sold all of the stocks the company had purchased that day.<\/li>\n
- This caused heavy trading in other sectors of the market as well.<\/a><\/li>\n
- Hundreds of millions of people in India are still without power<\/a> in one of the worst blackouts in history. (This disaster is also tied to an Pluto in Capricorn due to the inadequate infrastructure (Capricorn) of India\u2019s power grid.<\/li>\n
- It\u2019s often said that Mercury retrograde periods are good for anything that has an \u201cre-\u201d prefix. \u00a0House Republicans have RElented in their threat<\/a> to stop the government rather than compromise.<\/li>\n
- Traveling short distances fall under the domain of Mercury and there were two bizarre automobile accidents this week: in one, a man plunged off a cliff while texting<\/a>. \u00a0In the other a drive hit the gas instead of the brake and drove into a convenience store.<\/a><\/li>\n
- Airplanes are usually connected more to Jupiter because of their ability to travel long distances, but when three planes nearly collide due to miscommunication<\/a> it\u2019s Mercury retrograde news.<\/li>\n
- And I\u2019m not sure how to connect this to Mercury retrograde but it has to make the list of crazy news events: Belarus is invaded when teddy bears drop from the sky<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In my own personal world, this week I have (a) incorrectly scheduled a lunch date with a friend, (b) had a client forget his appointment, (b) scheduled a consultation for Eastern time when the client lived in Central time, (c) scheduled a consult for 11:30 PM instead of AM so it didn\u2019t show up on my morning calendar, (d) had a service contractor attempt to repair something that wasn\u2019t broken instead of something that was.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s happening in your world?<\/p>\n
