I do not believe that everything is terrible during a Mercury Retrograde period. But I have watched these periods intensively for decades and know a little about them. (This one lasts until mid-day on the 19th, but the Dark Epoch of which the MR period is the center shall continue until December 7, as a "mini-retrograde" period because Mercury will still be moving slower than the sun in geocentric appearance.) Yes, often everything seems to be terrible! "Seems" is the right word. Contradiction is the nature of the period. I have moved during such times with good results, but that was when I had planned the move beforehand. I once got an unexpected job during such a time and it was a good, long-lasting job. And so good things can happen. It just seems that most of the time everything is chaotic or hard to grasp.
The symbols for today bear that out, but let's not be alarmed by them. One is "An industrial strike." One may feel like not-working, or one may feel one is insufficiently recompensed for the work. If a protest is in order, one can protest, but during a MR period any protest has the possibility of ballooning into a fight which does no one any good. I realize that Republicans generally have a negative reaction to strikes and Democrats a positive reaction to them. I have been on both sides over the years. Today the larger problem may be that one feels stuck in a hole, so that, work or no work, nothing gets any better. Perhaps some projects have seemed vacuous. Perhaps they need REvision, a key during the REtrograde period. The "strike" doesn't last forever but is a way of improving things.
Another pitfall would be blaming an innocent bystander (even an animal) for one's plight and, without realizing what one is doing, being cruel or hurtful. Even a hurtful word could bring bad karma in its wake. Rather, one could, in recognizing that some things are wrong, be an "open enemy," in other words, state the issue to someone or an opponent but without offending, just as a way of clearing the air. True friendship is consistent with kindly honesty about one another's problems. (I realize that taking such a tack is dangerous, but am trying to make sense of the symbols.)
What helps in all this is being like "an airplane hovering overhead," that is, taking a large over-all view of things, reflecting upon them in a detached manner. The relationships among things, and the consequences of each, can be sensed, and this is reassuring. Then one is like "a giant" in consciousness who can understand things prodigiously, thereby protecting all from misconceived actions or reactions.
