Mercury Retrograde, Pluto Retrograde and Mercury Cazimi

I have an interesting Eclipse/Mercury retrograde story. I noticed on Thursday, April 20th, the day of the Solar Eclipse at 29°50’ Aries that the battery on my laptop wasn't charging properly. It was at 50% and I didn't think much of it.   I plugged it in to another outlet, but nothing seemed to change. I still did not worry because I felt if the battery wasn't recharging it wouldn't be that big a deal since I use my laptop exclusively on power source and rarely take it off.  I thought of opening the computer and reinstalling the battery but after looking at some YouTube instructions it felt too much like rocket science.  This isn’t one of the older batteries that you slip in and out from the rear.  You must take off the bottom panel of the computer by unscrewing 10 screws and then locate the battery, lift it out and make sure it’s aligned properly.  That’s just too much for me to handle before falling into the depths of depression.  I slowly saw the power diminish even further over the next few days. 
 
Ignoring my own astrological advice, I just let it ride thinking I could just use the laptop on power source because it was operating fine.  When I mentioned this in a Facebook post all computer geeks advised it was urgent that I had the battery replaced for any number of reasons that could destroy the integrity of the computer not the least of which the battery could possibly explode.  A friend suggested contacting a place in Manhattan called IFIX-NY.  I bought it in on Tuesday, April 25, now several days into the Mercury retrograde.  Oh, I forgot to mention that the eclipse at 29°50’ Aries is within a 2° conjunction to my natal Mercury so there’s a double whammy regarding the chances of this Mercury retrograde being more potent.  When I bought it up to IFIX they were very helpful but of course they didn’t have the battery in stock and it had to be ordered.  I couldn’t leave my computer because I needed it for work so I ordered the part, left a deposit, went home to wait for the piece to be shipped.   
 
The battery arrived on Monday, May 1st the day of Pluto stationing retrograde and a Mercury Cazimi.  I headed up to IFIX around 4:00 pm and within the hour they replaced the battery, and my computer was once again made whole. 
 
The astrology lesson here is enlightening so let me outline it very clearly.
 

1. A Solar Eclipse at 29°50’ Aries on May 20th within a day of Mercury turning retrograde.  The eclipse degree is also triggering my natal Mercury at 27° Aries, so the stage is set, and the event happens like clockwork. 
2. Mercury retrograde has me ponder several days before taking action (Taurus is a slow sign).  I stagnate as the retrograde settles in.  I am forced to reconsider that I must do something to ensure the health of my computer so that it isn’t compromised more than it already has been. 
3. On Tuesday, April 25 I bring the computer to be fixed.  It will be delayed for about a week because the battery isn't in stock and has to be ordered.  Another typical Mercury retrograde snag as well as Pluto standing motionless in the sky in anticipation of its retrograde.  I go home and wait patiently for the arrival of the part.
4. The part arrives in the shop on Monday, May 1 the day of Pluto’s retrograde station at 0°Aquarius.  This is when the problem is reversed, and my dead computer battery is brought back to life and resuscitated (Pluto).  It also helps that there is a Mercury/Sun Cazimi within hours of my computer being fixed.  The Cazimi indicates rebirth and new life of the planet that is in the heart of the Sun.  That is a blessing in and of itself because it is a new beginning for the planet Mercury and all matters pertaining to it.  In this case my computer battery is brought back to life and my laptop is made whole and is now running at optimum power like a finely tuned Swiss watch.
