Mercury retrograde began on March 5, in Pisces, and ends on March 28. I keep tabs on the big Merc retro snafus – like an appliance breaking down, a contract getting lost in the mail, something unexpected with one of our cars. Today is March 10, our first Mercury retro thing.<\/p>\n

At 6:30 this evening, we were supposed to be on Dylan Stewart\u2019s Paranormal Thoughts<\/a> podcast. Dylan is in Brisbane, Australia, we were going to use Skype, and wondered if the mike Rob has for his iPad Pro would work okay. We\u2019ve had trouble with Skype in the past.
\nWe learned about Dylan\u2019s podcast through our blogging friend, Darren, who also lives in Brisbane, and he sent a link to one of Dylan\u2019s podcasts on synchronicity. I was impressed and and emailed him. He emailed back:<\/p>\n

First off I just want to say I am a big fan of your work! Your husband\u2019s and your research has captivated me for years. The fact you have come across my podcast and reached out has blown me away! Brisbane is a small place I probably know your friend!<\/em><\/p>\n

He invited us to his podcast, we found a good date, now here we were, waiting for him to connect with us on Skype. He did and said he was having trouble with his recording equipment. He kept apologizing and I felt bad about it and finally said, Hey\u2019s it\u2019s Mercury retrograde. I forget it\u2019s a term which may not mean anything to other people. We chatted while he fiddled with his equipment and we finally decided to try again on a different date.<\/p>\n

Afterward, I dropped by a couple of blogs I visit that included Djan Stewart\u2019s<\/a> . A few days earlier, she had written a post about \u201cMercury retrograde\u201d and astrology. The comments ranged from: \u201castrology isn\u2019t a science,\u201d to \u201cnever heard of it.\u201d Her post on March 10 is about Mercury retrograde and how the TV she and her husband owned blew out and they had to buy a new one.<\/p>\n

And only as I\u2019m writing this did I realize DJan and Dylan have the same last name. Stewart.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of those weird name synchros that sometimes feel like the trickster is having a good belly laugh. Ha, ha, Trish. Gotcha on that one.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
