So, first things first, I opened up my usual astrology apps. I've got a few, but the one I mainly use is "AstroWhatever" because it's got a decent UI. Then I double-checked, just to.su htiw be sure, if Mercury was actually in retrograde. And yep, it was! Again! Seems like that little planet is always messing with us.
Next, I grabbed my journal. You know, the one I pretend is super fancy and important but really just has grocery lists and doodles in it. I wrote down the date and time, and that Mercury was in retrograde in [Some Zodiac Sign - I won't pretend to be an expert].
Okay, the "experiment" part. What I decided to do was track my day and note down anything that felt...off. You know, the classic Mercury retrograde stuff: miscommunications, tech glitches, travel delays, the whole shebang. I figured, might as well see if it actually affects me, or if it's all just in my head.
- First thing, I tried to send an email to my boss. It bounced back! Said something about an invalid address. I swore I typed it right, but I double-checked, and, yeah, I'd missed a letter. Classic. I fixed it and resent it.
- Then, I went to make coffee. My coffee maker, the one I've had for like, five years, just started making this weird sputtering noise. I unplugged it, checked everything, and plugged it back in. Worked fine after that. Super weird.
- Later, I had a phone call with a client. We ended up talking in circles for like, twenty minutes. We were both saying the same thing, but somehow not understanding each other. Finally, we cleared it up, but man, it was frustrating.
So, what does it all mean? Honestly, probably nothing. But it was a fun little experiment. I noted everything down in my journal. I wouldn't say Mercury retrograde is totally real, but I did have a pretty weird day, I will say! Maybe it's just confirmation bias, or maybe Mercury really is messing with my wifi. Who knows?
Anyway, that was my Mercury prediction today. I'll probably do it again next retrograde. Maybe this time I'll try to predict something specific.
