What is going on?!?!?!?! On friday night just as I was about to turn off my computer I managed to empty a full glass of Coke over my keyboard....I spent about four hours taking it apart and cleaning the sugary stuff off with q-tips (diet coke for me from now on) it took forever to put the thing back together. The next morning the keys were so sticky I had to wedge each key back up with a screwdriver after punching it......So I wen't back to step one....disassembly and q-tipping.

Afterwards I was so fed up with my computer I decided to go for a drive. After about 20 minutes of peaceful...tranquil driving around on the most beatiful sunny day we've had for ages my car broke down!! I got out and tried to look as though I knew something about cars ( I was clooging the freeway) I proceeded with the routine kicking of the wheels and examining the engine.......As if I know what the **** I'm looking at.

That's when I decided to call my dad up and ask him to bring his jeep and tow my car back home cause this was on a saturday (if I happen to have car problems they always happen on saturdays) and where I come from all auto mechanics mysteriously dissappear on the weekends wich is way they're garages are so jammed up on weekdays. My dad was on the freeway not too far away......waiting for a friend to come tow his jeep back home cause he had run out of gas!!!!!

After a couple of hours of panic an despair I was finally back home looking forward to just relaxing..... and perhaps catching up on my homework. I had two essays to finish, so I fired up the computer but the darn thing shut down immediatly after warning me of a system failure ?!?

But at this point I just couldn't be bothered My friend was coming over and we were going out for drinks. So I did my hair, got dressed, and started on my makeup when the lightbulb over my bathroom mirror started flashing and blinking frantically....my friend wouldn't even go in there in fear of having an epileptic seizure, she just does'nt appreciate strobe lights!!! Anyways when I'm all made up and looking like frankenstein I went to put some music on, I put on one of my favorite cd's, collapsed in to my couch and got ready too drink myself into sweet oblivion. That's when I realized that the speakers for the cd player were broken.

Today's monday, I managed to clean some viruses out of my computer. Found out that my car breaking down was due to an empty gas tank.....the darn meter is broken. I replaced the lightbulb in the bathroom and as for the speakers......well what's wrong with mono and no bass???? Absolutely nothing!!!!!!

So you guys....please tell me there's a perfectly rational astrological explanation for all this. And please tell me who the culprit is....I'll make sure to retreat into a cave the next time that bast*** returns to cause mayhem!

well... communtication and short distance traveling malfunctions are usually associated with Mercury in retrograde, which it isn't right now. There is a theory that transiting retro Mercury will cause more havoc with a direct natal Mercury and a transiting direct Mercury will cause more havoc to a retro natal Mercury.

Uranus rules electricity.

So, my guess would be that the two of them are playing aspects in your chart.

Guess you'll have to check Uranus to see where the problem is, or we could look for you ;)

Uranus is probably too slow-moving for it to explain this. Valkie rightly points out this *sounds* like Mercury retrograde - but Merc doesn't go retro until 20 March.

However...

I read an article about the "shadow" of Merc retro. Basically, on 20 March Merc will reach 14Aries06, then go retrograde. On 12 April, he'll reach 1Aries45 then go direct again.

So the theory is, that on the "approach" to Merc retro, when he reaches 1Aries45 he'll be in the "shadow" of the retro period, and things will start to play up. That happened on 6 March (evening of 5 March in the US).
