Mercury – God of travel
& communication
A problem with Skype's status system has meant many
people are currently unable to use the service. Reports about Skype being
unavailable started at about 09:00 BST on Monday morning in the UK. In a
statement, Skype-owner Microsoft said it had "detected an issue with the
status settings" on Skype that show if someone is online or not. The
problem locked many people's status as offline - stopping them making calls
even though they were connected. Sept.

In astrology,
Mercury rules communication, travel, and technology—so all of these areas go
haywire for about three weeks during Mercury retrograde [1]. Skype
Technologies is a Microsoft-owned telecommunications
company headquartered in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. Shown here is a chart for the Mercury station
retrograde that took place on September 17 drawn for Luxembourg. Notice that
it forms a T-square with Uranus-Pluto and is angular in the chart
implying that it is significant for the place.
If we progress this chart to
September 21, notice that Uranus touches the Ascendant triggering the T-square resulting in the issue that Skype is
facing.
Finally, a
look at chart for 09:00 BST on Monday morning, when Skype was first reported
unavailable in London has the culprit Mercury retrograde on the Ascendant!
