There is an end in sight

Napoleonic Mercury
I find it a little odd that the hottest planet would have such a complex. Sure it’s the smallest and it has nothing (no natural satellites and no substantial atmosphere) but does that really mean it has to set us in a tailspin?

So I was reading about Mercury Retrogrades. They only happen about three times a year and it lasts for about 3 weeks. This time is from June 16 to July 10, 2007. Next, from October 11 to November 1, 2007. And then from January 28 to February 18, 2008. It occurs when the planet Mercury travels back on its own orbit and, from our view, appears to be orbiting backward. The Mercury Retrograde is an astrological event that’s currently throwing our electronic tools, communication networks, planes, trains and automobiles out of whack.

Wait, did I just say “astrological” WTF am I reading. It sounded real till…

“…As a rule, both Geminis and Virgos are primarily affected since Mercury is their planetary ruler (i.e. the planet that lords over their sign and has the most cache). However, depending on the zodiac sector Mercury is traveling through at the time of the Retrograde, other signs are also affected.”

so is this real or really bullshit? And HOW did I end up reading this

It seems because 2007 is universally a NINE year (in numerology), signifying a time of completion and endings, the Mercury retrograde process becomes important in the adjustments required for our journey through the end of the NINE-year cycle – that started in 1999 – to bring issues to closure and final completion.

Well at least that's good there is an end in sight.
Amen
