Thread 40741896

The retrograde starts today. How can I make sure this shit don't hit me hard like when Bron Breakker speared iShowSpeed?

It is recommended that you don't leave home, and that you don't do anything dangerous while staying home.
Also, it's basically 4 days you should be careful, well, at the very start when the "shadow" starts and it starts decelerating bad things start happening, then right when it "stops" and turns back to become retrograde, it's the days in red.
Then it moves at a steady pace in retrograde motion, which isn't that bad. Then it does it again but back, when turning direct, so despite being direct, the most dangerous things happen.
Finally there's the shadow of the exit, when it's gaining full speed until it maxes out, those are also problematic days, and it's funny because when that happens ignorant people claim "see? It's been direct for two weeks and these terrible things happened anyway" because they don't know about the critical days of the aftershadow.
Around here we call it the "mercury tailwhip", because, really, that's how it feels like, on its way out it may take away something with it.

In cancer actually.
Whatever you feel like you need to express, let it flow but be mindful of the intensity.
You could inadvertently use language that bites you in the ass down the road.

>>40742836
It'll be both overall though, won't it?

>>40743561
That would depend on how much you let your feelings take charge.

>>40744601
I meant more like both Cancer and Leo will be involved in tge retrograde

I think retroshade is what some people call it.

bump

Can somebody please explain how this correlates with

>14:6: And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
>14:7: Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

And

>14:3: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

Because
>14:2: And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

was this morning. What's the "causal" relationship I wonder?

>>40742187
Can you please explain this again, and what I should tell people around me?

I am back, and you know what I mean.

>>40742836
I'm letting the birds and bugs sing. They'rs singing the song of life it seems.

Pre Shadow and Post Shadow, when does Mercury get in a good mood? For like 3-4 days?

>>40753702
Nta but probably not until after all of those days pass and this time it'll be after August something

a description of Mercury with its orbit of 88 days is "it moves so fast it looks like it`s moving backwards" (retrograde) i.e. Back to the Future

>>40746983
The tailwhip refers specifically to the last day of the post-shadow period or the first day after when Mercury turns direct.
It's when you go "ahh, all the shadow periods are over and mercury is fully direct now!" and then your main TV that you've had for 10 years dies.
In this specific case, the tailwhip will happen in August 26, though I've seen it happen the day after it's supposed to happen, ruining any relief you think you had because the retrograde things are supposed to be over.
I don't think the mercury tailwhip has been documented before this thread on the Internet, but it has been alluded to in TV series or movies when they point out the worst thing didn't even happen when Mercury was retrograde ("see, I told you, it's all a coincidence, this picrel calendar shows safe days with a white background so the calamity of August 27 2025 had nothing to do with Mercury retrograde", nah, it's the tailwhip).

>>40749803
This page is very useful:
https://www.thecut.com/article/what-is-mercury-retroshade-planetary-retroshade-meaning.html
The only thing I'll warn about is things that happen 48 hours before the whole thing is supposed to start, or 48 hours after they supposedly already ended. You have to get ready beforehand, and don't let your guard down because dates are supposed to be safe.
It's like Mercury Retrograde is an entity that can only visit on these periods to cause havoc and comes really hungry or leaves very angry even at points Mercury itself is Direct.
Specifically, don't plan anything important until August 28th, and stop you regular schedule by October 18, because the retroshadow of the next cycle is supposed to start in October 21, but it's as if Mercury Retrograde's shadows makes a splash to big it affects some days of the past.

>>40753702
Yeah, I don't recall "dire consequences" happening ever 3 days after the Post Shadow, there's a point where things do indeed get safe (but, watch your biorhythm, you may commit the worst decision of your life, but then you can't blame Mercury for it.)

personally i think i will keep yelling about hastur and faster daddy uwu

>>40759773
No, just in the transitions from normal to shadow, from shadow to retrograde, from retrograde to shadow, and from shadow to normal, it's the points where Mercury's speed isn't constantly going forwards or backwards, it gets bizarre because at every moment it has a different speed, and I can't explain why bad things happen days before or after it's supposed to start decelerating/accelerating, but it's important to know.
And, on these days staying home and watching movies with the family is a good option, it's not like you freeze yourself, you actually can take a break from routine knowing that whatever you were going to do would have needed you to do it again in a better date, anyway.
These are great resting days.

>>40774928
>The tailwhip refers specifically to the last day of the post-shadow period or the first day after when Mercury turns direct.

(; <3

I have 2 job interviews coming up next week. Why would this suddenly line up with a mercury retrograde and what's the universe trying to tell me. My witchy friends mum always said never sign an agreement during a retrograde. But I also don't want to just stand back and wait any longer.

Not your problem, it's a problem for them, you may be the worst candidate and they may hire you anyway.

>>40787988
There could easily be problems for anon like that those positions may be shitty working environments, have shitty bosses or coworkers, are energy-draining, don't compensate well, are time-consuming, etc. That isn't to say that they are or will definitely be, but he has to assess of those offers with diligence and not get trapped into a bad situation for them.

>>40753702
>when does Mercury get in a good mood
man this is one of the most fucked up questions i've read in the past month what the fuck bro

What do you do if this is whooping your ass?

>>40788511
Do magick invocations to deities associated with mercury for help

>>40786014
Mercury governs Communication and Psychology prominently. If Mercury is in Retrograde, expect that to mean it's more difficult to express yourself and that your psychology is altered (hard to determine more without more details).
When Mercury goes Retrograde, it's always best to review, renew, refresh, etc. Leo, right? Well Leo is usually Bold, Charismatic and Confident, so this is a good time to do much of anything that requires you to be charismatic; maybe you've been putting off asking out that hot bartender or whatever, maybe you've been wanting to ask for a raise, etc.

>>40788940
However you want to ignite an interaction of some sort or beseech his favor, sure. Personally, if I were you guys, I'd aim for someone who helps with Divine Inspiration-Speech. While this is indeed a huge focus of Mercury-Hermes, he's not the only one.
>>40788511
>whooping your ass
Surely you're exaggerating.
I think there's a bit of confusion here. As described in >>40789865, Mercury in Leo is really a great boon. Mercury Retrograde in conjunction with Mercury in Leo is essentially a balancing out so long as I'm understanding properly. I'm open to being wrong though, as this isn't really my thing usually.

>>40784511
>witchtok
That isn't the place to seek insightful info at all.

Bummmpppp

>>40749789
Um thats not a jesus part of the bible. Thats the postscript dreamt up by a russian orthodox priest in the midst of a severe hallucination probably brought on by some moldy rye bread from a bad harvest year.
They tack that shit on there to bring you back to the real world of control and fear after opening up your mind with the new testament.

>>40789882
Any books you would recommend so I can talk like you? I wish I was this comfortable with articulating archetypes through the lens of astrology, but I can only reference them in terms of their objective states.

And that question is posed to any other anons in this thread with an esoteric understanding as well. I am a layman and feel like a fish out of water when it comes to understanding the associations and connotation of events.

>>40793388
Nta but learn throuh experience. Ask people what their zodiac sign is and notice what traits they tend to have or embody.

My experiences:
If I order stuff online the shipping ussually gets fucked up during a retrograde period.
Sometimes some minor communication breakdowns at work, but not too bad ussually.

Mercury-Pisces tends to give me really bad brain fog.
Mercury-Virgo, in forward motion, I have unlimited energy to read books on complex topics.

So this current Mercury-Leo retrograde:
(1) landlord stole my package and held onto it for no reason for 1 week before handing it over
(2) internet line got cut, so lost power
(3) another package held in customs for over a week and still waiting
Yeah I remember why I would sometimes plan out online purchases for Mercury in forward motion.

>>40794928
Damn bro, that shit's rough so far. I hope it'll be easier for you, but knowing retrogrades, who knows how much easier it'll actually get.

>>40793388
This is a learn through teaching moment for me, anon. I highly suggest seeking a professional or at least someone better studied.

>>40793388
Go to youtube and type in learning zodiac signs

>>40741896 (OP)
>Mercury Retrograde in Leo

Moonwalking.
Spiritually, of course.

>>40795251
Lol I got one of my packages yesterday.
But internet is still down and be down for over a week, and the other package is still being held in customs for like 10 days now.
I've just seen it way too many times where international shipping gets fucked up by mercury retrograde.

>>40800641
Astrology is its own system, anon. Loads of people have interest in it due to veracity on several levels. Ultimately, it's a good translation mechanism and, being a science itself, requires understanding the fundamentals. I frankly do not understand them well enough yet. It's good to practice and see how much you know though.

>>40802704

(exactly a crisis of communication, hierarchy and ego in a loyalty-dependent environment), now I have to be wary of tailwhips too dude?

>>40788460
>There could easily be problems for anon like that those positions may be shitty working environments, have shitty bosses or coworkers, are energy-draining, don't compensate well, are time-consuming
Yeah, but these things exist regardless of where Mercury is or where it's moving, what changes is anon's willingness to accept them.
Mercury retrograde is the king of having to rethink old decisions later.

>>40789865
>When Mercury goes Retrograde, it's always best to [...] renew
What? No way. Suppose you decide to renew your plasma TV, you throw it away and buy a larger one that has these quantum AXOMOLED pixels you always heard about. At first you are amazed at the bright colors, you are blown away when you watch a 4K movie and details you've never seen before, it looks more detailed than the real world and has some 3D effect without requiring glasses! But then you try to watch your youtube videos, and they look very cartoonish, without a way to fix them. You try to watch your classing TV series you've been watching for months now. Character's skins have a greenish tone, and it all looks pixelated, it's very distracting but the whole UHD thing seems to noy be designed for the content you watch. You try a comedy and meet the Soap Opera effect, all the movements of everyone looks exaggerated and fake, you know these are real people but they look like CGI characters of a video game with the fake detail. You realize how much you miss your plasma and how it didn't have any of these problems, and how things looked like a moving painting within it.
And you feel scammed by these quantum pixels or whatever tech they sold you.
Only in Mercury Retrograde.

>>40805151
Yeah, in my experience, "the worst is yet to come", specially after the shadow when Mercury is already direct and thing are supposed to already be safe.
IF YOU LET THEM
If you buy something or plan something important and get tailwhipped when Mercury Retrograde is on its way out, you can blame it.
If that happens and YOU KNEW, you can blame yourself.
Sometimes it happens and then I check the calendar and find about it and realize it was my fault for not paying attention. Just avoid doing the important things on those dates and nothing major will happen, it's knowing about the dates and insisting on doing them, or being ignorant (which, most people are since this is a niche topic) which is the problem.
You know, you avoid, there's no problem.

>>40805202
That's a great story, I suppose. Do you have a way to communicate with us so that we're able to understand some sort of lesson about how this relates to Mercury in Retrograde in the future?
At this point, all I can think about is why you bothered putting in that much effort without much of an explanation.
>this just happens during Mercury in Retrograde, I guess
Is this your long-winded way of saying that "renewing" things during Mercury in Retrograde is a bad idea? It'd be cool to know why you think that, what examples you can point to or other sort of communicable, relatable ideas we can play with outside of your dramatic nu-uh.

>>40805227
> **OWN YOUR SH*T** — Saturn rewards accountability, punishes ghosting
Alright I had to laugh at this one. Are you sure you aren't just plagued by seeming normal at first and then doing crazy shit no one wants to bother trying to fix when they can just move on to the next person that likely doesn't have some serious retardation lurking around the few months away corner?
Saturn isn't going to get upset if you give up on something that isn't working out. Sure, it's a long game with him, but he certainly doesn't reward you if the thing you've been doing this whole time was stupid and pointless. It's more about hard work put in over long time horizons and persistence during the accompanied hardships.
>Saturn is already retro in Pisces
My understanding was that Saturn in Pisces means Saturn's effects are a bit muted; blurred deadlines, rule-breakers abound and karma takes a bit of a nap.

>>40805231
I gotta interact in the same social situation with the same people during those days but... I'll try my best. Thanks for the knowledge, I'll keep an eye on this effect in the future

The third song after that, is cringe.

>>40805668

>>40805050
No dumbass

what about if mercury is rx in my birthchart?

>>40807266
Dependent on the sign(s), degrees, aspects, etc., there's a good chance you'll be st more of an equilibrium that others are or shall be during retrogrades.

>>40805617
I'm sure if you just told the person you are ghosting that you're not into them, it would make them feel a lot better.

>>40808400
I don't think you understand, anon. No further contact is warranted. Giving away more of your energy to people who nullify or reroute it to negative pathways or pathways which otherwise undermine you, is a poor and masochistic strategy.
The Mennonites or Amish or Aspergers communities have their whole Shunning-Selective Mutism strategy down and it's a good reason. Feeding what depletes you is not a good strategy. It only works if you know how to alchemize the process properly. It would take some Jungian anime archetype shit for that to work though. I don't really recommend it.

make it stop

>>40808712
Ride the Lion, anon. Embrace Leo's reckless Charisma. This is your chance for Mercurial Frenzy.

>>40805596
Try renewing things in mercury retrograde (or in the shadows), and then renewing them at any other date, see the difference.
I guess you need to experience it first hand, the problem is often Mercury retrograde forces you to renew.

10/10 thread, matches eerily to some of the insidious craziness lately

What parallels have you noticed?

>>40805617
Hide all you want, you can’t escape what’s coming.

>>40812017
I have to adamantly insist that Saturn respects "Juice isn't worth the squeeze", anon.
>>40810782
I understand the translation of the concept of Mercury "reversing course", in a sense. To me, I think "renew" fits. Perhaps you have some specific context in mind. Personally, I don't really get your hang up. I suspect you'd refer to the chaotic process of "renewal" in terms of Mercury's influence of Communication or Psychology. I'm not sure I agree that finding new ways to communicate or pathways of understanding is a bad thing. Maybe we have different perspectives of Chaos.
>>40810719
I'm pretty sure it means what you think it means. This is an Astrology thread, so I won't ramble about the implications. Either way, if you fancy yourself at all related to the genre of subject at hand, I'm not sure I'd need to say much more than reiterating that I do indeed mean a Frenzy, yes. You know, Frenzied Speech, for example.

>>40812017

>>40813566
>I'm not sure I agree that finding new ways to communicate or pathways of understanding is a bad thing.
This is all about bad decision making.
It's as if Mercury Retrograde makes us dumb, truly, people blame it for the bad things but they happened because of the decisions we made.
Sometimes what you built in a Mercury Retrograde is destroyed in the next one, and you had no idea it was fragile because it lasted for months.
If you renew it now, you enter into a pattern where every few months you have to replace it.
If you wait for a good time, you'll pick a different approach that makes it permanent and resilient, it can last for decades (and it can be anything, a partner, a job, idle income, etc.)
Something I've learned the hard way is that for some things what you do doesn't matter, what matters is WHEN you do it. So you can procrastinate forever and rush it for the last moment and it'll work beautifully because it was the right moment.
Mercury retrograde is good for procrastinating, the mistake most people make is wanting to solve things ASAP instead of waiting for the right moment.

>>40818790
So it's more about misunderstandings, sudden and inconvenient obstacles, previous difficulties arising, those sort of themes?
I suppose I understand. I was more reading into disrupted speech or personal confusions, but I see how it's not so narrow.
Are you telling us Mercury Retrograde is a big strike while the iron's hot situation? Strangely enough, I just had a brief, chance encounter with someone who was very attractive but neglected to take advantage of the situation. I've haven't stopped thinking about it since, a whole day later.
>>40818333
>333
Alright fine.
Hermes was known for delivering messages from the Gods. Odin, one of his (sort of) reflections, was known for his Frenzy (being the meaning of his name and all) as well as Mead of Poetry - two things which share a very important relationship.
Mercury's influence over speech under Leo's banner is massive as we've already outlined. But Mercury Retrograde, in my reading, offers us another flavor to the Mercury in Leo charisma boost: we also have a disrupted or altered communication. If you find out how to thread the needle just right, you can abuse both intersecting circumstances (again, a pretty Mercurial theme with the liminal crossroads business and all) to at least make an attempt at an Odinic speech boost which borrows the theme from Hermes as well, where "messages from the Gods" can become Divine Madness or Divine-Frenzied Speech.
I'm saying go magic-say a bunch of wild shit and you might surprise yourself. The airwaves are warm, anon. Jump in.

Not an astrologer but if you look here in the thread >>40742187 another anon has an approximate chart of the days where the pre-shadow and main portion of retrograde have taken place this month.
This one >>40774928 is for August and the latter part of Retrograde and the post-shadow. If you think things have been rough due to Mercury's current route, then brace for another 3 or 4 weeks.

>>40828149
It depends on other aspects of your chart as well, especially your Mercurial placement.

That's like two whole months. Astrology is stupid. Would unironically be better to just ignore it and tank anything bad that happens because on those recurrent time scales especially on a multi year time frame it's functionally irrelevant if it's good or bad

Well...it's more like...I'll let Bart explain it...
You have to avoid getting into situations where you have to make a decision in the first place.

>>40829566
I regretted ignoring it, at least those critical days were you better reschedule what you were going to do, because even the unimportant things you wanted to do instead may not be possible (the internet goes off or you get a power outage.)
I built this graph containing everything you need to know about the days to avoid (which isn't all of them) and shrunk it down so I could post it, but I still can't, which is not surprising given today's date (which you can't see.)

>>40830955
yeah bro let me just call out of work and not make plans because saturn or mercury is doing weird shit or the moon is full. Life doesn't work like that and don't give me some shit about people using it to benefit. This thread is mostly fear mongering treating it like a 2 month Friday the 13th (again another stupid thing to worry about). Once again if everything is bad then it's not even worth paying any mind to. Also the irony that anyone who could actually be hurt by the retrograde in an appreciable way isn't going to be in a position to care about astrology in the first place. It's very telling how petty the examples of it's malign influence itt are. Hell Pluto is in whatever the fuck it is so who gives a fuck either way.

If a plurality of days are inauspicious then none of them are or you have a much worse existential issue. You've created a cognito hazard for yourself that attracts bad shit nothing more.

If Mercury is causing problems for Earth then it should be destroyed by making it fall into the Sun

>"Well... you're damned if you do, damned if you don't."
Not if you shed bad karma and accumulate merit through auspicious deeds.

What does it mean if you're like leo rising though???

so if you're born during Mercury retrograde you're basically doomed for life or wtf

>>40835303
>doomed for life
No, it's actually that you'll potentially have a better resistance to when the retrograde occurs in your natal sign, or that type of sign (i.e. Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable).

>>40836784
So then let's say your Mercury is in Pisces so you're used to being a retard no one else can understand. That applies too here?

Can confirm that the tail whip is real.
Usually it feels like the season finale of this chapter of my life. Things come to a head and usually the shit that started during the retrograde culminates in the whiplash.
It’s always brutal. It’s always miserable. It’s always an experience I walk away from with more insight into myself.

Definitely worth being mindful of in the shadow of a retrograde (what they call the whiplash)

Amish and mennonites shun someone AFTER they explain what someone did wrong.

If a relationship isn’t working, then make it a teaching moment and then ghost.

>>40824828
I felt that.
It was like being water boarded.
Misery misery misery, then a moment of clarity I hadn’t felt in years, then misery misery misery.

Mercury can be in retrograde up to 60-100 days in a single year. imagine wasting that much of your life with something like that living rent free in your mind and letting it stop you from buying shit or making important choices

I honestly fucking hate astrology. Especially Vedic astrology because of the scam artists that attach themselves to it

>>40839254
>Amish and mennonites shun someone AFTER they explain what someone did wrong.
It's abundantly apparent you're entirely uninformed and you're simply making this up.
Besides, the whole idea of "ghosting" someone is they did something that is completely irredeemable, so any further contact with them will only make things worse. This means that no further contact is desired, let alone warranted.
Let me be very clear to you and anyone else watching: Saturn's whole thing is Boundaries. If you aren't setting boundaries in your life, Saturn himself will join in on the fun until you set clear boundaries.
Saturn will not be pleased if you go out of your way to quicken someone else's "Karma", anon. Ghosting them is the best thing you can do for them. Subjecting yourself to their atmosphere any further isn't in your interest. Whether or not they know why something is wrong with them isn't up to the person noticing to correct.

>>40839263
Was that "misery, misery, misery, then clarity" all in that one day, or do you just mean the days leading up were miserable and then most of the 31st was clear-headed and a period of respite?

>>40840796
"Ghosting" is BPD roastie behavior simple as. Naturally dissociating from shitty people isn't. The point is that weaponizing it as a way of hurting someone is what makes you a cunt. The fact that you talk about it being a lesson says it all.

I swear alot of this shit I see about boundaries and healthy relationship dynamics is like a weird toxic positivity meant to serve as a mask for shitty unstable interpersonal behavior.

Normal healthy people don't
constantly talk about cutting negative people out of their lives or just saying

>>40840831
Anon "ghosting" is not "roastie behavior". She got it from Chad when Chad decided she was being annoying and he shouldn't bother with this behavior so he's just going to Next her.
>weaponizing it as a way of hurting someone
What? Chad doesn't give half a shit if anyone in his life ghosts him. He just furthers the sequence and assumes the next available opportunity in typical stoic fashion.
>you talk about it being a lesson
What? You don't seem to be reading what I'm saying. If someone's got some irredeemable qualities, Saturn will not reward you for going out of your way to correct them for the person. You have the wrong idea of appeasing Saturn. Appeasing Saturn looks like achieving a personal goal after dedicating yourself to a craft for a decade. He will be displeased if you don't set boundaries though - like when you interact with some crazy bitch and she throws up too many red flags and decide you'd rather just give someone else a spin instead. Do you go back to her house, sit her down and try to have a conversation about her behavior so she can drown your dog, fuck your dad and tell all of your friends you can't get over how small your dick is?
Pull it together. You sound retarded.

>>40840895
Your post isn't really evocative of someone who should be listened to on the matter and more like someone who only views relationships as transactions. It's funny you brought up chad because my entire point is that ghosting is about jilting people and acting like a self aggrandizing douchebag

I've gone no contact overnight with people who were abusive or simply disengaged from aquaintences who were toxic but I've never made the act of doing the point in and of itself or treated apathy towards interpersonal relationships in terms of pure utility as something to be emulated. That's sociopath shit and your post makes it clear your someone with a lot of nihilistic attitudes on such things

whenever i see someone constantly talking about the need to micromanage their social relationships from the standpoint of a put upon person I view it as a massive red flag

>>40840937
>Your post isn't really evocative of someone who should be listened to on the matter and more like someone who only views relationships as transactions.
Your post sounds like a person who thinks relationships aren't transactional.
Lady, it's clear you've spent too much time on LinkedIn and you've soaked up all their buzzwords. Who the hell has you thinking like this? Did you not know just how pervasive the transactional theme is in our culture? Not understanding this level of social dynamics and exerting the understanding suffers basic game theory drawbacks like the Prisoners' Dilemma.
>It's funny you brought up chad because my entire point is that ghosting is about jilting people and acting like a self aggrandizing douchebag
Only women and simps care about ghosting. It's evident you're desperate for someone's attention here. It's clear you're projecting this argument onto me for defending someone who didn't want to put up with your annoying bullshit. It's obvious you're dwelling on this and were waiting around for someone to argue with about this, still being bitter that someone you really wanted (who clearly didn't feel the same way) won't give you more attention.
This is gluttonous behavior. You had more than you deserved and are no longer offered any - hence the discussion on boundaries - and are now lashing out at people who try to correct this imprudent behavior. Maybe take some time, some deep breaths, and listen to people who are suggesting you find better uses of your energies. This is not productive or helpful behavior and it will take more than it could ever give from you. Be smarter with these attachments and quit getting bitter with people who are more less apt to latch onto people (and who don't freak out when the person they cling to decides you're not worth it and leaves).

>>40839758
It's all about using this period as a time to reflect and move tactfully as opposed to someone possibly being "go, go, go" without a second thought when it's going direct. Balance is needed in all things, and this is one way how the cosmos reminds us of this principle.

>>40842103
Well said fren.

>>40840808
I mean the entire time mercury has been in retrograde and after this one hour period of perfect clarity.

>>40840796
I grew up Mennonite. I know more about the community than you do.
Shunning happens after an explanation of error.
You’re just a shitty person and likely the type of person to talk about narcissists in your life

>>40834076
>Not if you shed bad karma and accumulate merit through auspicious deeds
You may have seen an anon in other threads claiming karma looks random to me.
Being punished for good deeds and rewarded for bad ones.
Yes, the guy going around 4chan saying that is the same anon telling you about Mercury's tailwhip.

>>40839758
>letting it stop you from buying shit or making important choices
You don't stop any of that, you do it in better dates, and notice the good choices that you made and the good products that you bought are still there.
While the ones you bought in the bad dates had to be replaced later, and you regret the choices you made.
That's the difference, life is not about doing more.

>>40843599
not even people with turbo ocd are this retarded bro imagine living life like that.

>"need to buy new whatever"
>"can't because it's the one third of the year I can't do anything and mercury will magically break the laws of physics and make it disolve into nothingness so i better wait for the other third of the year and hope some other planet doesnt fuck something up"

astrology is impractical and counter productive.

>>40843572
That's great and all but I too grew up around the people in question and I know from many different occasions how shunning works. Nice try, big guy.
I quite literally know a man named Yoder who has done this to me and another guy I know, offering zero explanation after one poor encounter. It's going to be impossible to convince me after having this lived experience and not just one time.
Thanks anyways.

>>40843572
>>40843815
Honesty versus Disclosure, they call it, I believe. They won't tell you something if they don't want you to know it. Mennonites in particular are pretty strict with this type of social dynamic.

How would you feel if someone else pulled the weeds in your Garden? Saturn is the Gardner, after all.
This is a thing though, yes. If you'd like to learn more, search for "Tonglen". It's not quite the same idea I was going for though, as what I referred to was sort of tongue-in-cheek.
