Once I finally had Internet access (breathes sigh of relief), I confirmed that Mercury is in retrograde (OBVI). This is a backward motion of the planet occurring in several stages. First the planet seems to stand still, then backs up through all of the signs, stands still again, and finally resumes forward motion.

The result: communications, travel, appointments, mail and the Internet are all turned into a general clusterf*ck (it’s a technical term). This retro period began May 7th and lasts for three weeks or so, until May 31. Now I don’t really know what all of this means, except I suddenly notice the eShit hitting the fan and am immediately able to call shenanigans.
