Astrology 101
People who adhere to astrological principles and believe in the influence of the stars. Even if you have no interest in astrology, you’re undoubtedly familiar with “Mercury is in retrograde.” When Mercury is on its way back from a trip around the sun, people feel that everything in their lives is falling apart.
So, Dude with a Sign is wondering whether anybody else feels that everything in their life is always going wrong. It’s another straightforward yet amusing method for the Dude to express what we’ve all been thinking… especially after years of adversity. Maybe he’s just trying to convey that this is ridiculous? We can relate either way.
