I'm constantly rejigging my opinion of retrograde Mercury, every time is different.  Yes, there's the generic breakdown in comms, emails, letters and phone calls.  But despite the difficult aspects of this particular M Rx, it has its positive sides too.  For example - it's happening in my eight house of sex, death, power and other people's money - and i'm getting to grips with my accounts from the last year, and sorting out my affairs so I know where I stand.  I didn't mean to do it at this time, it just kind of happened.  So look at the house the current M Rx is in your chart, and look for the positives as well.  But over the coming two weeks, as Mercury stands still at 21-25 Taurus, lots of those born between the 12th and the 16th of May as well as the sub-generation born from 1953-5 with Pluto around 23 Leo are going to find out a great deal about whether or not things, people and situations in their life are tenable.  The good news is that by mid June this is all over and the treacle will have dissolved.  And guess what?  Here, here and especially here.  OK, Pisces, your turn to tremble.  Empathic, intuitive, sensitive, kind to animals, fluffy, gentle, wimpish, slightly pathetic, they love the turquoise and deep green because it reminds them of wallowing in the depths.  For some reason they all have an affinity with whales.  They love to wallow in self pity or chocolate, or a combination of both, and if you add alcohol the result is truly pitiful.  The best saints and the worst addicts, the unsung heroes and the martyrs, the victims and the quetly successful.  Not at all neurotic - honest.  Give them tequila in a bubble bath and watch them gush.  Just keep them away from Disney and tearjerker movies.
