So every time mercury goes into retrograde everyone in my life goes psychotic!! Emotional breakdowns, mood swings, fights, etc. is this normal??

Ok I also am wondering wat Zodiac is the most, passionate, and courageous. The type of girl I'm lookin for is the type that would pick up a sword and rush into battle with me!.... well I'm not rushing into battle but thats the type of girl i need! So I was wonderin wat her Zodiac might be? I think its Taurus or Aquarius, but I don't know much about astrology. I already know I don't do well with Leo's been there done that and it NEVER worked.

Thanks!
