I had unusual realization this past summer. I was, and am, very much aware that the magnetism and cycles from the sun and other things such as the moon do affect energy here on earth.

A woman's menstrual cycle is more in sync to one sun rotation of every 25+ days versus the moon's 29.5 days. In fact, the rotation of the sun varies as the latitude increases above the equator. Which I wonder what would the calculation of one sun rotation at 19.5 degrees??? I would bet it's closer to a 26-27 day match which would be closer to a womans cycle more accurately than the moon.

But actually, this is not why I write this posting. I had a two week slump back in the middle of the summer. I am not a procrastinator. In fact, when I come home from a vacation, I arrive, the clothes go in the washer and everything is unpacked within the hour. My work, I get it done and will work all night so I am at ease that it got done.

So why did I have two weeks that I procrastinated..had overwhelming feelings of "never gonna get it done" and that I may not get it done..I just didn't feel like doing it?. Being 37 and knowing myself so well with a strong work ethic, this was a weird time for me. I even explained to my boyfriend how strong felt like this. I even said "It's weird". I was just so aware of how strong it was and rare. I also had moments where things were not working out for me during this time. I was consistently getting "roadblocked". What was going on? I don't remember the exact moment..but it may have been a blurb on the news or radio..that "Mars was in retrograde" and it was about two weeks of it. Something just hit me..like a voice (and it felt like a relief at the same time)..that said "just wait..just wait". Like it was conveying the idea that this time was to be a time of rest.

I feel very strongly that this was the cause lull I had. I cannot prove it. I've had lulls before but not one that dragged so long..or maybe because I hadn't had so much to accomplish during a retrograde. I don't know.

So I wonder. Why this time? Did I just never make the connections before? I am going to be more aware to see if I get these overwhelming feelings of "can't get it done" happens in the future during retrogrades.

Interesting post. I'm a disorganized person but I experience those out of character moments I can't explain too, and I sometimes think I'm being influenced by some cosmic pull. My rulling planet is Mecury so when Mercury goes Retrograde 3 times a year I can forget about stating anything new in my life. I also notice I lose more things then. Your post made me think the sun might have more of an influence on some people depending on their chart. I felt a definate influence on my period and my emotions from the moon. Since we are such a high percentage of water and moon is reponsible for tides it only makes sense it would influence our mensus. Studies have been done on women that live together and their periods adjust so that they coincide. I would think that process would throw one off a bit. I wonder if the mood effects the pituitary? Any astro-bio pople out there know about this?
