Is something going on...?

[Ivy Artemisia]

... it feels like mercury is in retrograde- again. Things are all delay-ish, and everything is breaking. Is something funky going on in the skies lately?

[hamletincarnate]

yeah everything feels topsy turvy! i can't get and stay confortable, and a lot of people i know feel the same way....

[KEishin]

Sorry to burst your bubble all, but Merc is not Rx currently.
BUT it just came back out on April 12th, so if these are events that happened in the last month, then yes Mercury is likely part of the problem.

[Ivy Artemisia]

I know that Merc came out of retrograde on the 12th. :) But these events have all been happening in the past WEEK. Its weird. Really weird. :-/

[hamletincarnate]

makes sense!

Also folks, it's SPRINGTIME!! Mercury and the planets cannot really compete with all the new energy bouncing around from the sun (Our closest star) and the new growth energies it starts up down here. Sap is rising, in plants and in some people too!

As for me, I feel full of energy one minute, and like having a spring fever kind of nap the next...:bouncysmi

things are going to get a bit weird for the next few weeks as we approach the impending Cinco de Mayo allignment..

(may 5th allignment) apparently this one will rival the one in 2000

[ravenmyst]

been a topic on a few of these threads, so yeah I would say somethings up, full moon? spring? cinco de mayo? not real sure

[punxzen]

full moon? spring? cinco de mayo? not real sure

im not real sure either... i just did a quick perusal of the ephemeris and looked at a chart for cinco de mayo and i dont think i am seeing what the hoopla is about. the venus sextile saturn? mercury comin close to squarin saturn? is there something rather key that i am missing? i think i noticed that the sun would be comin close to a quincunx with jupiter as well...

anywho, as per the merc retrograde feeling, i have been feeling it as well. my intuition points to the upcoming lunar eclipse/full moon. our subconscious psyches are gettin way wired over it and our conscious selves which are less in tune are in conflict, causing the merc retrograde feeling of nothing flowing quite the way you think it should/will/can/whatever

anywho, back to the zazen and books for me, someone lemme know what this cinco de mayo stuff is all about :steppy:

It's a planetary alignment

It's a planetary alignment

http://www.spacedaily.com/news/skynightly-02a.htmlBut we've missed it - that was in 2002.

Can't see anything particularly interesting happening on 5 May 2005, except the date will be 05/05/05 (and it's the UK General Election).

[Xander67]

Earlier, on May 5, something even more spectacular will happen. The bright planets Mars, Saturn and Venus will group together to form a perfect equilateral triangle in the western sky. This dazzling configuration will be visible almost everywhere on Earth. In the Middle East, this pyramid-shaped specter will hang directly above Bethlehem.

How did I miss this :(

[Kadynas]

There was a lunar eclipse in Taurus/Scorpio early this morning... sometimes you can "feel them coming on"... :)

[KEishin]

I know what you mean!
I've been nabbed by the transiting eclipses over the Taurus/Scorpio axis during this cycle. Both last year and this year . . . oh well

I know the feeling! :lol: Usually they're hitting my Venus/Uranus opposition in the 11th/5th houses, which also happens to be a T-Square with Saturn. This time it got my Chiron, also in its own little T-Square. :lol: It's always something!

[KEishin]

Yeah, I've got my Mercury/Pluto opposition, Sun/Uranus opposition, Fire Trine and Chiron all getting hit together. 11/5 axis as well. Bleech. :wtf:

Why can't the skies just stop moving and leave me alone!!!:rotfl:
