Here it Comes, Again--
Mercury Retrograde.
Here's how I know.
This morning I get an email invoice I have been waiting for, one that will lead to money being deposited in my own bank account (translation--this is important). I make a small edit, hit the "return" button and flash-email gone!
Sigh.
I write to the sender, "please send again, sorry," and then go digging through my back folders to see where the MIA email might be hiding. Yes, yes, it should be in the trash but somewhere along the line, in an attack of cleanliness and organization, I deleted my trash box and cannot seem to get it back.
Victory! I locate the wayward email next to spam advertisements for Viagra, shift it back to my inbox (deleting offensive SPAM), re-prep the invoice and then forward (for money) and flash, inadvertently send the invoice to the detested husband of a formerly loved friend who I no longer love since she went back to her detested husband. SH#$!!!
Now I'm tense, cursing, shaking my head.
It just so happens that the detested husband has the same initials and the intended recipient of my email. Curses. Why didn't I delete the detested husband from my email files long long long ago??
It's the same techno-bafflement that had me delete my Trash from my email program. I don't know.
And then, I know. My little slice of personal hell means Mercury is going retro this month. In fact, the shadow of Mercury going etrograde began two days ago and apparently, fell over me today.
From the site on Mercury Retrograde: Many astrologers consider that the "Mercury Shadow" begins between two and three weeks before the actual retro station; so the "shadow phase" begins on April 4, when Mercury passes the point of direct station for the first time in this cycle. This view has some justification, but I am more inclined to think that the really noticeable peculiarities begin when Mercury slows significantly, a few days before the retro station.
This period of "Mercury Shadow" extends to the Return date, something under three weeks after the direct station. Bear this in mind, because experience shows that the effects of the retro period are still marked during the shadow phase. Some of the most characteristic annoyances often occur just after Mercury makes the direct station, while he is crawling forward before picking up speed.
For more fun reading, I'll direct you to that site of a scary astrologer who devotes himself--in part--to explaining phenomenon's like Mercury Retrograde.
If your day falls apart-tell me about it here on the comments page. Sometimes, company helps.

My day fell apart yesterday...one day of chaos is all I will give the great cosmos. I spent mine at DMV which I chronicled ad nauseum on my blog.
On a positive note...you made money!!!!! That is incredible and amazing.
