How to deal with a mercury retrograde and square aspects in my chart?

[Jasmine N]

For those who believe and have been studying astrology. I have a mercury square mars and my Mercury(R) is in virgo. I usually don't believe in astrology and I know I can't always rely on astrology to pinpoint my weakness, but I'm starting to believe the mercury positions make some sense. When I say something it feels like it doesn't come out in an orderly fashion. For example, when I'm typing this, I'm constantly trying to change and edit this. (It's true, I'm not kidding! My mind seems to go in all sorts of direction all at once.) Also, I feel like I have a hard time thinking deeply about things before I say something. When I do try, it takes a tremendous amount of effort, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I'm just really frustrated because I have a hard time in college. The work isn't difficult at all, but I usually take longer to grasp information and to do assignments and tests.

It takes time, and life...eventually those squares will soften out.

It's like a new pair of jeans...they're uncomfortable at first, but as time goes by they soften up, and fit you perfectly. It's kind of like sandpaper, **swish, swish,scratch,scratch**...but then it's smooth and prettier than before.

It's tough sometimes, but you'll be O.K.! )
