OK hest. I read a lot of the page you linked to. But I still can't figure out what it has to do with us..... or more importantly... ME. lol
('cause as you know, all i care about is me. heh.. could it be true? )

Mercury has gone retrograde as of a few days ago and this is a sort of explanation of what it can mean, as far as planetary influences.

Lay low time.

OK. Just thought the planetary influences were supposed to influence people. Sorry hest... was just hoping you'd give me some advice as to what it meant to idiots like me.

Maybe i shoulda laid low myself and not even asked?

Mercury going retrograde means that a current flow of energy is going to slow down and eventually stop briefly, before going into complete reverse.
Like when a ferry docks, the engines go into heavy reverse to slow the forward motion. We're going into reverse motion right now and this can make things happen we don't want to happen. Like in an earthquake, things fall off the shelves, mercury in retrograde is rattling our direction up, making things difficult, annoying, breaking points snap, replacing worn out parts is a theme......
It's a "snap out of it" from when things are going well into things are going screwy.
Going with the "flow" takes way more discipline and consciousness, and will continue to, until into the first week of November, when things will right themselves in the planetary realm again.

Be vigilant in what you do and especially, in how you react during this retrograde.

I'm not very good at explaining these matters. That's why I post links!
Heh.

a vow of silence is some circumstances and try to be kind with words is always a good idea thanks!!!!!!!

this bit

eventually stop briefly, before going into complete reverse.

i have suddenly become nocturnal again.

I am doing laundry tonight
going wash my good flannel shirt
hang it out to dry like a prayer flag in the night

Sounds like sound advice to me
I always seem to associate Hermes with healing and hermeneutics.
