Equipment failure is at its peak during this transit. It can be that your trash compactor explodes on you. Your knife sharpner quits working. Your telephone goes on the fritz. Your fax dies on you and you gotta replace it.
Mercury rules our thinking processes.
Believe me, folks, we aren't thinking clearly or as coherently as we'd like to think we are during a Merc. We become forgetful. Or you get lost in traffice, lost in a shopping center, you can't remember where you put something. Our orderly thinking dissolves. Our minds may race.
