I was taught that the stations of a planet are very sensitive. If there is a station in your chart that planet is very much 'present' in your life. I had not heard dofar from anybody experiences the transit-stations (stationary just before turning D or R) to have a health effect. I'm curious about Mercury in your chart. You don't say where it is (in what sign) and what house it rules and what planets are in that house and the aspects of Mercury. It could be very interesting. Mercury R generally means less clients and especially trouble getting enough students for my astrology course. As soon as he is direct again, things get back to normal. Merc.R (or any other R planet) is a good time for finishing things you had started before, or repeating things, not start new activities. And don't buy a new compter with Uranus R, or a new car when the ruler of your third house is R., etc. ;)
