I’ve tracked a lot of news events during Mercury retrograde and well, this one stands out among just about all of them, tall and proud and over the top. The only one that stands a little taller and a little more over the top was the one in November 2000 wherein a United States presidential election was stolen and everyone scratched their head and went on eating their Whopper just so the same thing could happen again in 2004.
Mercury, after being retrograde since April 18, stationed direct in Taurus today at 6:26 pm in NY, 3:26 pm in California and 11:26 pm in England.
In that time we experienced a volcano, an oil volcano (still out of control, with no end in sight, compounded by hundreds of thousands of gallons of solvent being dumped into the Gulf of Mexico), a bitterly fought election in the UK, massive flooding in Tennessee and other states, tornadoes in Oklahoma, banking fraud by Goldman Sachs exposed, a debt crisis flooding across Europe with a trillion euro bailout committed to during the retrograde!, a 1,000 point dive in the stock market the cause of which nobody can figure out and an attempted terrorist attack in New York City.
