    A planet can't "stand still". It just looks like it does because of the different speeds between itself and the Earth.

    im a virgo and can confirm that i feel so intense when a mercury retrograde appears, i don't have to read about it happening as i feel it. but what ive noticed all these years is the fact that it does seem to be horrible at first but you kind of know that its a blessing in disguise. i have a problem with the moon too lol

    You should do a video series on the rest of the planets in retrograde and what happens.

  • @adamcolbertmusic
    @adamcolbertmusic 10 лет назад +2

    Weird, but look at the "orb" from the top-left of the screen at 4:22. Yes, it could be a piece of dust reflecting light, but look at that odd "s" maneuver it does, VERY fluid and exact. Then it "disappears" (it DOES stop appearing...) within your forehead. THEN at 4:25 another "orb" appears from the same general area as before, but this one is already in frame when it appears. It does a vertical "s" movement, AND if you watch repeatedly very closely, you will see when it goes to the left in has a subtle deceleration before "bouncing" to the right. People can come to their own conclusions, but I am convinced that these are not "dust particles". Interestingly, after the "dual-ity" of two orbs coming and going, your next words are "...so another thing that happens". And THEN you talk about "communication getting stagnant", which, the communication of this video got very stagnant when I paused to re-watch the orbs a jillion times.

    I'm so happy you posted this! I was just asking myself to research the subect for further clarification and low and behold here is your vid! My bf and I broke up Sunday the 2nd of Feb. I think it was a day or two before Mercury RX. I don't know if Mercury is what F*^%$ it all up. Anyhow I think he is gone for good. I just hope all is for the best if that is the case. :(

    • @mydizzymelody
      @mydizzymelody 11 лет назад

      I googled the time we became "official" it was during the last Merc RX. We met Oct.13 and became serious Oct.21 or so (yes, very quick). So that just makes me feel like I shouldn't get my hopes up. I tried to get him to give it another shot. He says "not at this time". Any how, I am moving on. I do wonder if there is something one can do to defy these planetary alignments. Or is it all just set in stone as lessons to guide us? Idk... Too many things were "off" in that relationship. I do love him very much but it was a one sided relationship. I want to be treated better. Him Gem/Can cusp, Leo asc, Leo moon, Taurus venus. Me Libra sun, Leo asc, Virgo moon, Scorp Venus. I think my Scorpio Venus and his Leo Moon on top of Merc RX is what made this relationship very difficult. Thank you for your reply and vids. I love your take on astrology. It's refreshing and very real to life.

    Retrograde planets haven't stopped moving. You're right about the illusion but it's about the shape and speed of the orbit with respect to that of the earth's , not that the planet has stopped in its tracks! that would be crazy

    • @R3GARnator
      @R3GARnator 11 лет назад

      Alyssa Sharpe I don't know of this is my Virgo and Gemini energies being inhibited by them, but I've always found Retrogrades the least credible part of astrology. Because it is purely visual, not physical. I see calculating asteroids, and Parallel/Contra-Parallel aspects, without this problem because they make sense physically.

    • @elleobi

    • @elleobi
      @elleobi 11 лет назад

      R3GARnator Actually, when a planet is in retrograde, it is at the closet point in it's orbit to the earth. So, really, it should mean that the effects of that planet are the strongest at that moment. I think that what happens for many people is that the intensified energy exacerbates issue related to that planet. In mercury's case that can mean it shines a light on the cracks and makes you return with a bucket of plaster, else face a breakdown of some sort. e.g. if you're car's been needing attention anyway, it's more likely to finally breakdown during mercury retrograde. Alternatively, if you have a good "relationship" with the planet the retrograde period might actually be a time of great blessings. If you're a writer, for example, and Mercury is well placed in your horoscope, it's retrograde period might be your most fertile time for writing. I think Alyssa Sharpe has a really intuitive talent for astrology, but I've learned this about retrograde planets from Lada Duncheva.

Which sucks big time.... anyway just sharing.. thanks for the videos im so glad they're free! Lol.. have a nice mercury retrograde everyone ;)
