A Listener’s Question: Mixed Feelings, Mixed Communications and Throwing Footballs

I know mercury is in retrograde right now. When it hit in October, my life felt like it kind of went to shit for a while...mind you I am Libra, and I know it affects the sign in it most.

With it hitting now, I know it doesn't lift for a while. I have an important decision to make, in talking to someone about an issue that I don't want to blow up in my face, yet if I wait a month to talk about it, it seems irrelevant. Can communication be done in a manner that it will be understood and stick during retrograde? LOL I just need to handle this now, but don't want it to get worse rather than better.

If you could give advice, I would be forever grateful, if not, it is cool too. :) - Deb

Tricky question. I have been giving it some thought. I don't know much about Astrology - just the basics - so usually answer from an energetic point of view when pondering ideas of communication. My first impression is that your sense that trying to communicate clearly while you feel "mixed" at some level, would cause communication mis-fire is correct. If we have mixed feelings or ideas about something, we will get mixed results, give off mixed energetic messages, which people pick up on whether they realize it or not. However, no matter how clear you get inside you, and no matter how clearly you communicate, you have no control whether listeners can hear your truth. That is up to them. So think of it like throwing a football, do your very best to have it land clearly in their hands, but the responsibility to catch it is theirs. dutton_football_catch Does that make sense? I don't know if that helped. MR

That helped very much, and a very amazing analogy there, I like that. Thank you, that does help. I suppose the only responsibility I have is that of my own deliverance, I cannot control how the message is received. Thank you so much! - Deb
