car accidents and mercury the trickster

so, my dad was in 2 back-to-back minor car accidents in less than 2 days. and i recently learned that he experienced his mercury return on the day of the 1st accident (during this wonderful retrograde). the first accident he rear-ended someone at an intersection; the second accident someone rear-ended him as he was parked at a gas station.

the first thing i noticed was the transiting mercury has activated his natal merc/pluto opposition. i suppose natal neptune is not making things better by forming a trine to natal and transiting mercury. All the while transiting neptune is hovering a wide conjunction with transiting and natal mercury. boo!

(the unknown thing is my dad's birthtime- I have used at 6am for his natal so his natal house positions are not accurate. the lack of birthtime could also throw off the mercury return chart; though, i'm sure the placement of natal mercury is close enough.)

on another note, while i was driving home last night a car flew by me doing at least 100mph. i saw it swerve into the median of grass, do a complete 360 in the middle of the highway and then keep driving. damn you mercurious!
