It would seem that "Mercury moved into a retrograde path yesterday". This apparently will mean communication difficulties and confusion.
Now I don't have a lot of faith in astrology, in fact I think it's complete bunkum but it did make me pause and think a while about how I communicate.
I shall try and remember that listening is as important as speaking, and try to respond rather than react. Its easy to forget, especially when posting that's its a two way thing and can say more about you than the words you use.
Apparently Mercury will be in this phase for 22 days and while I don't think a planet named after a Greek myth can affect my behavior much usually, perhaps on this occasion it has.

Nice post. I'm not a believer in astrology myself, but if something can make someone sit up, take a look and think, that has to be a good thing. Detonate the reality bomb! | |||

Nothing retrograde about it..it's simply an optical illusion caused by our joint orbits.

there was something in the sky last week. Like a star but much bigger and brighter.
I made sure it wasn't the moon btw | |||

It was probably Venus, which has been pretty visible in the evening for a while. Science, the only religion that works even if you don't believe in it. | |||

Yes, That would be Venus indeed, a nice bright naked eye object (Mag -4.41). Just slightly West of South at dusk. Uranus is almost due South at this time (not a naked eye object, I add), and Jupiter & Mercury are low in the S/W sky at this time too.
