LOL! Twitter’s problems are classic for Mercury Rx in Gemini . . . too many people wanting to communicate all at once!

Woo-hoo, here we go. Twitter is having problems due to over-capacity “too many tweets.” The ferry system had its first major interruption today, and right here on Vashon. Thousands of people will be delayed and otherwise inconvenienced for about two weeks starting June 2 (Mercury is Rx until June 19; gee what a coincidence).

My final paycheck from my old job got misdirected. Took me five phone calls this morning to track it down, but no one got back to me, so I still have no idea where it really is or when it will get here. Mercury isn’t the only culprit in this case. He’s been in a square with Uranus in my second house (earned income).

Lots of little glitches, too, and the miscommunications are just winding up. I swear, I think I’m speaking perfectly clear English, and the other person responds as though I said something entirely different.

I’m normally very healthy but I’ve been ill since Monday with a weird kind of bug that has left me with very little energy – symptoms: fever, a bad cough and the feeling of being totally wrung out.

Hello stationing/retrograde Neptune (ruler of 6th) and Mercury (chart ruler)methinks. Not to mention Chiron.

The few days I’ve had to take off have enabled me to look at how my energy can be drained from me if I’m not careful. I’ve been neglecting this area recently. Another wake up call.

PS: Surprise, surprise – I’ve been having all sorts of problems posting a comment here! :-)

{{{{emekah}}}} Nothing like being ill to totally mess with one’s perspective. My S/O is just starting to move around more easily. He had a major sciatic flareup over the Mercury station. Hope you are all better now!!

I was really sick on Monday with a stomach bug. And this week I’ve been going over some things that have been bothering me in my relationship. I’ve been obsessing, in fact. On the other hand, I did spend Tuesday night listening to music and downloading iTunes while doing crosswords. Very relaxing. I recommend it.

Yep, won’t be long before my laptop (ordered and shipped during a Mercury Rx last year) starts making that cockroaches-in-the fan sound.

Ha, ha!

Normally I would say that they were really stupid to launch something of this complexity the day after Mercury went Rx, but it sounds like this is something that’s been needed for many years, and finally it’s here. I’m not sure whether this falls under “healing” and “breakthroughs,” but it sure is a fix for a thorny problem.

Thanks for this, Mandy! Just goes to show … like aspirin, astrology works, whether you believe in it or not.

Also just to say that from January 23 to now I’ve read about 20 books…. a very significant increase on the amount of new books I’ve read in the last few years….(ie from about 4 per year (at most))

And its resulted mein switching from one form of communication(Internet, Second Life) back to reading (strangely I’m also being attracted back to newspapers…).

I’ve read four books since Thursday….
