Dodging Mercury
As several of you know, the Lakehouse project has been a nailbiter these past few weeks while Boy Wonder and I have waited for the offer/counteroffer process to run it’s course. Addendums still need to be submitted & the mortgage pre-approval needs to be updated (since the last one is about 2 or 3 months old) but I think I can say with conservative optimism that the Bank will agree to our final offer. Basically because our final offer is the exact number that they just blatantly told us we have to hit in order to close the deal. This whole process has me feeling like the girl who plays hard to get for an eternity and when she finally agrees to go out with a guy she ends up spreading her legs on the first date. I hope the Bank at least buys us dinner.
So speaking of dates, let’s talk about the closing for a moment since I can’t help but squirm when looking at the calendar. Mercury goes retrograde next week (March 30th) and will continue retrograde until the end of April. For those of you unfamiliar with the implications of this astronomical occurence, it is not advisable to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly. Some people are more sensitive to Mercury retrograde cycles than others. Mercury-ruled Gemini and Virgo natives are likely to be particularly sensitive to the effects of Mercury Retrograde in general.*
Did I mention that BW and I are both Virgos? True to the Virgo stereotype we are organized, practical, loyal as the day is long, and generally even tempered. Indeed, we’re the sexiest people you’ll ever meet. And apparently our astrological G-spot is Mercury retrograde. But I digress. The point here is that although it’s taken us almost an entire year to get this house and we’re really anxious to get this party started, I’m looking at the calendar thinking we need to delay the closing date until May if we want to be safe in the astrological sense. I’m envisioning a Memorial Day Weekend move. Without snow please.
