Thread 40873477

We're mostly through the main shadow period with the post-shadow looming ahead. What sort of stuff is there to know about Retrograde so we don't get as fucked up as we might be otherwise?

Last thread: >>40741896

be careful of technology and travel stuff like most people say

>>40873477 (OP)
Look out for the post-shadow period because it can be busting your ass worse than the regular time

>>40873943
Fuck that shit, I'mma do what I want

>>40876215
Ye pretty much, been feeling it but once I shift focus and can better observe my emotions it becomes way easier.

What do you mean, in Leo?

>>40876215
yeah mercury is in retrograde a third of the fucking year. Aint nobody got time for that shit.

>>40875364
This Rx has fucked me up a lot, and I was born in a Mercury retrograde. Lots of misunderstandings and social friction... I'm dreading the famous tailwhip

>>40876470
>tailwhip
Someone mentioned it last thread but I didn't get it from how they explained it

>>40873477 (OP)
This retrograde will impact communication, self-expression, and creative endeavors, particularly for those with personal planets or placements in the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius).

>>40873477 (OP)
OP just needs to abstain from sucking ginormous black dicks for one more day to avoid stds

>>40877918
They probably can't

>>40873943
My plumbing got messed up due to retrograde bullshit

>specifically remember grandma, sister, friends etc having car troubles day after retrogrades end
>always figure 'damn, that's weird, like it's trying to spite me and prove it's not true'
>read these threads, realize I'm not crazy
>look up date of my only car accident
>day before a retrograde began
I don't even feel vindicated, I just feel like suddenly there are mines outside my door

>>40877299
Look at the last days in the shadow of a retrograde. Those should be "danger zones" as red as the center peak days.

Pretty strange dream last night where I tried to go into space, and I saw a 2nd sun behind the sun. I tried to travel towards it, and it was like I went out and orbited Jupiter and Saturn acting like a binary star, and our system was actually a trinary star system. There was a strong sense of the helium of Jupiter being the basis of an actual star, rather than a planet, and I saw this reddish orangish light suffuse the astral world as if I had reentered earth except illuminated by the light of Jupiter rather than the light of the sun. It was basically a different timeline, but the 'timeline', was as if there are multiple timelines depending on which star your consciousness orbits, and in that moment I had accessed multiple orbits of time occupying the same space.

Check out this video all about the Mercury Retrograde:

>>40883383
You definitely were tapped in to the real shit

>>40873477 (OP)

This year, Mercury retrograde happened in Pisces and Cancer, and Libra in November. So if something big happens this year, this could be a code to future historians. The real why. Pisces, Cancer, Libra.

>>40881409
I can attest to things getting out of whack, but honestly, some things got very rough but then a lot of positives happened out of them. So, it was balanced out.

>>40877918
Ew

Tell me about it. Shit's gotten whack real quick.

The anon who mentioned the tailwhip last thread posted two pics for this retrograde's days to look out for. This is part 1.

>>40891671
Here's part 2 with the tailwhip near the end of August.

>>40873477 (OP)
As a moon in pisces how do I prepare for the coming event?

>>40893354
The main event is over. Now we're in Retroshade.

Wishing the best for everyone going through whatever this horseshit is. Fucking sucks. I cannot "get right" for anything.

Thursday is my birthday; hoping that hurdle will be the end of it.

>>40894957
The last day of retrograde and the first day of retroshade has made my whole world fall apart in the blink of an eye.

>>40895993
sorry to hear that bro

>>40873477 (OP)
Mercury is literally in cancer right now . Tropical is fake and gay

>>40897555
So you're into Vedic. Cool bro

>>40890346
>>40895817
Yup. Remember
>Crisis/Lesson: core days
>Recap: shadow
>Test: tailwhip
careful anons, you'll be tested with a 2nd crisis to see if you manage it

I had a lot of trouble these past two weeks, after a GREAT March thru June, July starts kinda weird. Then? mid July CRASHOUT, been in a void I feel like I only just awoke from two days ago
is it worth mentioning I went on nightly walks under the moon for anywhere from a mile to 5 or 6 even once, drinking and a little canna, music and soul searching. I did a lot of frankly schizo shit, music videos in my head, prayers, void grasping, all alone under the moonlight. It all sorta just stopped abruptly, around mid July. no desire too go nightwalk. Sleeping better. lost a job. Smoking now not just vaping, got new bong kek.
But these threads have been so interesting to me because the calendar lined up, and this year has been the first year of my life I have recognized a connection between my emotional frame/spirit and the moon/astrology. I outright denied it before, we only met once but my diagnosed schizo grandpa gave me a telescope and it might've been for a reason. Chicken and egg, it's a bit hard to prove; but know that I am being cognizant of my actions and observations. Less moves the better.

>>40886631
It's okay. You can stop being jealous and petty

>>40898502
Yeah, astrology wins you like that. Once you start to really pay attention you realize it's fucking real. I still don't understand why, like what's the fucking paradigm, but it's real.

Bump

>>40898288
>88
I'll hide in a hole if I have to.

>>40895817
It's been rough.

>>40898288
My crisis came upon the last day and is ongoing during the retroshade shadow period. It's way fucking worse than the core days were for me for the most part.

>>40904455
Yep, tailwhipanon warned about this in the previous thread, before the tailwhip hit: "the worst is yet to come" >>40805231

I wonder if he has a working theory for this phenomenon.

>>40898633
The moon affects the tides of the earth.
Assuming other super massive (relative to humans) objects within our solar system also exist as we’re told (looking at you flerfers) then we can safely also assume they affect the earth and those who live on it as well.

>>40904717
It’s not him alone, most astrologers mention the retroshade period.
It’s when mercury is not moving as fast as usual but isn’t going retrograde.

>>40873477 (OP)
It's kicking my ass bros. The archons are after my loosh

>>40904964
Grow up baby girl. It only gets more strange.

>>40904717
Things have been absolutely dismal over the past few days. I wonder how bad it may get or if someone I can navigate through it to find some sort of reprieve.

>>40905221
Shit don't we all know it...

I had a breakdown last month for no particular reason but that ended up putting me on a more focused and righteous path, and I got back into spirituality and made amends with some people, this mercury retrograde thing can also lead to "lessons learned"? or it's just for bad things related to communication and travel?

>>40908420
Retrograde definitely is all about trying teach lessons related to things in the past

>>40904789
nah it's not physical nor causal. it's more like "sympathy": everything's the same body, the same clockwork. The internal and personal can be seen in the external and the remote.

>>40873477 (OP)
Does that mean Mercury is going to crash into earth?

>>40908665
Not at all

Anyway, I'm that anon, let's clarify some terms:
The "whiplash" is the worst thing that happens in the mercury shadow after it had gone direct. The shadow comes in two parts, in the first one, mercury stops and turns direct, it needs to pick up speed from going to stopped to full speed, this causes it to be at different speeds all the time, accelerating, which causes things to get bizarre and unstable, specially on the critical days where it happens, which was August 10-11.
NOTE this isn't about bad things happening, it's about the most unlikely things happening, so plans get ruined and have to be changed because you literally can't prepare for them.
The second part of the aftershadow happens when mercury is at full speed, but it hasn't yet reached the point where it started being retrograde, so it already went through this part. Here things get undone or have to be done again, history repeats itself, you find yourself doing again what you did on the preshadow period, mercury retrograde or in previous mercury retrograde periods.
Here's where the whiplash tends to happen and may be a punishment for doing something important in these periods, though, it's mostly as if you didn't do them so it's a waste of time. The shift from the first part to the second is happening August 15-16, be careful unless the whiplash already happened.
Finally we have the last critical day when mercury reaches the point where it stopped to become retrograde and reaches new places it hasn't gone through before yet, causing a last critical day where the tailwhip happens.
It's supposed to be in August 24-25, but in my experience, it tends to happen when you're relieved and think "it's finally over and I can continue living my life normally!" you let your guard down, and then it hits. It may be the worst because you weren't ready or expecting anything, if you're ready it may not even be worse than the whiplash or critical days.
By the 28th you can't really blame mercury for what happens anymore.

>>40911152
Welcome back whiplash anon.

>>40911152
I majorly fucked up already, so I don't know if I shall succumb to fucking up even worse in the coming week or two. I'll try to be conscientious and abstain from said fuck up.

>>40911152
Fantastic writeup whiplash anon, will save for the next Rx

>>40891681
So is 26 safe or not safe

>>40913665
Sounds like it is the least safe, but it's more about your soul and heart than anything else.

Case in point, my gf got into a freak accident that you wouldn't believe, but she is completely safe and a better person for it. God works in improbable ways.

What are the best apps and websites to learn this stuff? I’m tired of relying on secondhand information and want to be more prepared for upcoming astrological events.

Same here.

>Mercury Retrograde Events:
If I’m being completely honest, I feel like I’ve been in the shit for a long time, and it seems to have nothing to do with astrology.

*However, I have to admit that things get worse when these negative astrological events are in motion.

Recently, a very pretty, sweet, and kindhearted chick I’ve known since I was little died; shot and killed in a murder-suicide by her boyfriend on the 10th of August.

In 2024, one of my best childhood friends died suddenly of a massive heart attack at age 35 during a retrograde event; April 30th 2024.
One week later, I had my heart broken worse than I've ever experienced in my adult life. The only time I felt a worse heartbreak was when I was 19.

All my life I’ve tried not to assign meaning to - and have actively ignored - these astrological events like moon phases, planet alignments, eclipses, etc. but when I look back at my past, the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming.

>>40914187
>April 30th, 2025
Fuark, that's not too long after the eclipse in the U.S.

Bamp

>>40912769
Well, any attempt to fix things will get undone and come back to haunt you on an aftershadow of a future mercury retrograde, so it depends on how bad is it.
Say, doing something that makes a girl break with you, you better get her back after the tailwhip, otherwise she's just going to break up again later.

>>40913861
Oh, definitively, I think I've lost 2 TVs on different tailwhips, but thanks to that I got the plasma TV of my dreams.
Losing those was necessary because, if ain't broke, don't fix it.
My computer is 15 years old and in need of a change, but I'm keeping it as long as it works, so I guess I have to wait until one of these periods.

>>40917747
I already did that during the last day of regular retrograde. Fucked up so bad with an argument from that day that my girl went absolutely cold and ended our relationship the following day. I'm working through trying to have a gameplan to win her back.

>>40918105
Oh boy did you fuck up.
Better off just moving on.

>>40918105
>I'm working through trying to have a gameplan to win her back.
Nah, whatever you do will be clouded by the shadow, better to not even start planning until August 27 or so, you may even get an "eureka!" moment and get her back with ease by then, but here it's an uphill battle.
Also, did I just guess by pure luck what was the fuck up about? lmao

>>40918140
>Nah, whatever you do will be clouded by the shadow, better to not even start planning until August 27 or so, you may even get an "eureka!" moment and get her back with ease by then, but here it's an uphill battle.
Hard to have that patience when I am in pain and love her so much.
>Also, did I just guess by pure luck what was the fuck up about? lmao
Not really, that's synchronicity and divine messaging. Others have been clueing into it also. The shit's been radiating off of me like hot garbage.

>>40918105
Hope you don't mind, I asked the i ching how you should go about the situation. I'll spoiler so you don't have to read if you don't want to. [spoiler]Answer was 46.2.4.5 changing to 31.
>Pushing Upwards related to Courtship
Be authentic and sincere. Move slowly, take things step by step. Offerings, be willing to go the extra mile, adaptable and devoted. Growth and persistent effort are needed, even without sign of headway. Relationships are about compromise, and in courtship, remember (You) are the one subordinating yourself to win the other over. Things go well.
Pretty optimistic and blunt hexes desu.
I'd use this shadow period as a chance to reflect and also be certain of what you want, since the outcome will apparently last for a while.[/spoiler]

Feel free to google for deeper insight and draw your own conclusion. I referenced the Wilhelm i ching text and cafeausoul, as they tend to give me a good overview.

>>40918128
>Oh boy did you fuck up.
>Better off just moving on.
Can't do that when she means the world to me.

>>40919883
Bro the worse thing you can do to yourself after a break up is to continue to hover around that person. Similar thing just happened to me with a girl that I still think is special but until I learned that I have to cut them off for at least 6 months before reconciling with them for the last 3 I was turning into a bitch constantly watching her social media updates and trying to make small talk with her to keep it going.

>>40921100
Today was the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to interacting with them in-person. As much as I love her, fuck that shit. The tailwhip likely won't do shit to me regarding that situation worse than what already has happened. That's not me issuing a challenge as I shall be conscientious and wary, but nore along the lines of I've gone through enough as-is.

Bump

>>40918675
I totally missed that you had done this for me until. Thank you!

After what I vaguely alluded to in >>40921414, I was a mixture of distraught, disappointed, numb and irritated as well. Today, I am tired from the emotonal, mental and physical exhaustion of it all, so even if I was retarded to try and do something towards my own growth for myself, her or whatever, I don't have much gas to go on.
