Mercury Direct On May 31, 2009 - Hoping To Hit The Broad Side Of A Barn
Astrology in real life
Many astrologers predicted this Mercury retrograde period to be especially difficult and boy have I been whacked. I have a Mercurial job as does the soldier and things have been many times more frazzled than usual. I have accomplished a lot in spite though.
Some can postpone various things when Mercury is retro but when it is your job to write or to drive - well you’ve got to write or drive regardless of the weather but I do think this period has been far more chaotic than normal for Mercury Rx. Traditionally my writing does not stop or slow at all during a retrograde but this time I have recycled copious amounts of writing and can’t even tell you exactly why.
This is due the square from Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius no doubt. “I had a vision, now what was it again??”
I launched the new Clearcut Astrology over the weekend and found out today on the message board that there is some confusion as to what I am doing. Once I read that post, it was obvious to me why this would be but prior, I had no idea I’d been mysterious! In other words, I can’t track very well at the moment.
I apologize for my spastic behavior along with the recent instability of this site. I am working to untangle everything but can tell you right now it is going to take me some time.
The soldier forwarded me a mail today, said it would give me some insight. What it gave me was a knot in the head!
These are things I know:
- Clearcut astrology costs $50, I think it is a screaming bargain.
- My consultation rates are going up, June 1st. Not by much but if you want to schedule ahead I wouldn’t blame you.
- I have every intention of getting back in the habit of writing Astrology Today as soon as humanly possible.
- I am going to try to save the Astro Dispatch.
- I will continue to tell stories, spill my guts and ask the collective things to the best of my ability.
If anyone has other questions, remarks or requests please post them. I would be particularly interested to hear of any barns whose sides are standing there waiting to be spotted and hit by me. I promise to put them on my list, thanks!

how much are the consultations after June 1?
Yeah… Mercury retrograde has its share of difficulties on my end. I am relieved to say that Mercury turns direct when I move in May 31st though, and am looking forward to it.
YAY, I love this post! I have an extra-Mercurial job and I have gotten hit hard as well. Hope things grind forward soon. No pressure whatsoever, but I love your Astrology Today and look forward to seeing them again.
GO GO GO ASTRO DISPATCH!!!!
From $100 to $120 and the other options adjusted in line with that.
I’ve decided to do this because a half hour with me is more productive than 4 or 5 or 8 sessions with a therapist.
I keep being told this, I know it’s right so I figure the increase is justified and still very, very competitive with other astrologers especially when you can peruse so much of my work and know exactly what you are going to get.
I am sort of a “sure thing”. It’s that old trucker song, “I’m going to do what they say can’t be done…”
I am an Eastbound And Down astrologer!
Oh, Jessica we have gotten CREAMED behind the scenes. I did get that one piece of fantastically good news and we are used chaos ala mode on the trucking front with mercury retch but this has been ridiculous.
I have very powerful transits right now. I suppose this is obvious and I just have to ride this thing best I can. I wish like I hell I had time to fill people in but I don’t. I had a reversal on a wedding - that right there ought to tell you something has broken loose
“I’ve decided to do this because a half hour with me is more productive than 4 or 5 or 8 sessions with a therapist.”
Effen rights! And I’ve had loads of therapy. ha ha ha
I am curious what the email was that gave you the knot on your head?! I personally think you are doing a great job and I hope you keep it up…you know what you are doing and you are good at what you do!
I think the $50 is a bargain….goodness knows that takes time and lingual ability to write about someone’s chart without totally annihilating someone from your blog, but also to give the perspective they need on the question asked about their chart…
I don’t know about the mercury retrograde except that they keep telling me that interpreting for hispanics is on a down turn, but I have been working my butt off the last few months. Today, I was working a murder trial…..really, life sentence or freedom and it has been grueling…mainly because the spanish is so poor and the grammar is worse of the accused and witnesses…the judge is ready to pull his hair out…his face was so red today, I thought he was going to burst a blood vessel from the confusion and we had 3 interpreters working this case and we all were completely exhausted at day’s end. And the verdict? I cannot tell and neither can the other two interpreters….it is that confusing…I would hate to be on that jury….
At the same time, I have spent the last week trying to translate a reverse mortgage legal document that has my head spinning…too much….I am on overdrive!
So, my point…keep grueling at it please Elsa and you will find a way to keep up the blog…see if it changes after mercury goes direct….I am praying….I feel like a horse on the track with his eyes shielded but for the path before him….
I wasn’t really clear about the clearcut astrology either so I’m glad you explained. I agree that it’s a bargain and I love it.
I’m a writer and all I want to do recently is write, but I *can’t*! Everything comes out gunked up, or boring, or it peters out before I get more than five paragraphs in. It is so frustrating! Argh! It’s like I’m full of desire to create but can’t get any clarity on what to create. The words just don’t come.
Yes…I can barely do a thing either. The last one was much easier-I just calmed down and edited a few things and I was good. This time? Pff!
Thank you for all that you do, Elsa.
I just told someone I was trying to keep as many fires burning (and put out) as I can. That about sums it up.
Now that Saturn is moving forward, I’ve decided that I’m giving up, LOL.
Maybe I’ll change my mind with Mercury direct.
“I am curious what the email was that gave you the knot on your head?!”
It was something someone sent to him that someone else had sent to them and by the time it got to me… well I am either too far removed or more likely my head is just too full of competing what not.
The trial sounds similar, denamaria.
Anyway, it is a lot of hats. The Clearcut Astrology stuff over the weekend was new and varied. It was something to conceive the idea, come up with a prototype and then do it again, and again and again.
A lot of people (a fair number) have contacted me about the dispatch. Some offer ideas and I have to parse them and respond and in some cases, make the moves and it’s just a lot going on.
The soldier is up to his neck every day and I am closely involved. I am his command post, basically.
My sister’s psychic friend has been writing me and she stirs the pot. Not in a bad way but just the same.
The kids are out of school and I have custody of whoever all day and all night.
I still have court.
I have a house to fix and a wedding to plan and this blog to write and friendships to maintain.
The soldier has not gotten home as scheduled for 6 or 8 weeks, messing up all kinds of appointments and timing.
I had that other guy bait me on the phone so he could get laid.
I can think of several hundred other things but there is the tip of the iceberg for you. Thing is, I can handle all this stuff and by the way…
I still did not forget I was going to write (or talk) about scorpio provided my idea was original. I have to verify with a friend who has not gotten back to me. Double Gem, it may be another week.
I will be glad when the windows are done. We were delayed 6 days on the door because it has been raining and cold. Just in case anyone thinks they are alone out there - you’re not.
i did hit the broad side of a barn today! (well, not really, but that’s what I said when i saw the first target at 25 yards.) haven’t shot anything since the bb gun when i was a kid and i managed to get into the target zone at 200 yards… every once in awhile.
i was surprised.
Arrivederci, jerks!
And believe me, I never realized I’d read you writing that you look forward to planning the wedding, Venus Neptune and all. Hooray for reversals of all kinds… sometimes we need them.
It is interesting to see that powerful transits sometimes feel like a machine you’re strapped to and can’t get off of, or a wave you have to ride. Kind of charged up, worn out, and manic - even a Saturn transit.
Just a few more days? Thank God. I stopped keeping track once it completely knocked me on my ass about three days into it.
Yup, affected. Mercury always messes with me, timing just askew.
My brain has been in a blender. Even when you see Mercury retrograde periods coming and are explaining to everyone else why stuff keeps getting lost, postponed, overlooked, etc., etc. it doesn’t help. (Might have something to do with being a Gemini…). Seriously, they are usually not this bad, I agree about the square to Neptune & Co. Everything’s not totally terrible though — my boss dropped his phone in a glass of iced tea, hee hee. I think it’s beneficial to hear what other people are doing and thinking, and also to double check with old friends when tempted to just give up and throw things in the trash. Hang in there!
I love the idea of this. Sorry I wasn’t too clear on it earlier, but I’d been gone over the weekend, Bloglines didn’t fetch up the post right quick and I got confused. It is a very good idea that I am considering.
Problem is, I would just need to come up with a damn question (or five). I am so vague right now one would need to construct a computer the size of the Earth right now to figure out what my question is 
(Yeah, yeah, I know, MR, but I got born with MR natally and this stuff doesn’t generally affect me. I’ve been fuzzy for like a year now and I sort of doubt I’m going to un-fuzz even after the 31st. Meh.)
i’ve been mentally decompressing. not that productive these past few days, but the stress was starting to knock my health. so i figure a little less pushing until i get my knots unwound some….
now that i can afford to take things a wee bit slower for a few days.
I love your stories Elsa. I wouldnt mind more stuff on how to defend yourself against attackers like the previous post you did on what to do if someone is in your house from the advice of the soldier. I understand you have to ask the solider for advice like this and I thankyou that you always post his valuable opinion and allow us to tap into his mars energy via your blog. I find that stuff in valuable as woman. I like knowing what to do in crisis situations like this when I dont have a man at home.
