Into the Mystic

Yes, it is that time again. 🙂

Mercury has turned retrograde at 13° Taurus on April 18th, 2010 and will retrace back to 2° Taurus where direct station will occur on May 11th.

These next 3 weeks offer an opportunity to review and reevaluate that which has taken place in our lives during the approximate time frame of April 4th-April 17th when Mercury first traversed these degrees of Taurus in direct motion.

During the forward motion of Mercury through the early degrees of Taurus we have had constant aspects between Mercury and the following bodies: Venus, Mars and Pluto. We have also had considerable contact between Mercury and these bodies: Saturn, Neptune and Chiron.

A lot going on here in a the space of a few short weeks!

On the first pass through we received insights and information concerning the functions of the above bodies listed that Mercury formed aspects with and with so many bodies involved we have had a whole slew of information brought to our attention involving area’s such as love, finance, values, desires, action, responsibility, dreams, illusions, wounds, healing, transformation, obsessions and a whole lot more.;)

Wow..so how you doing out there after that mental whirlwind?

While most of the Mercury aspects have been harmonious, Mars has been in a continual square and has been adding an edge motivating us to act as soon as possible on the information we have been receiving.

Now we are needing to practice the fine art of patience (never one of my stronger suits sadly) and wait for a new angle to unfold before we step it up.

The next 3 weeks should help tremendously with the process of sifting through all of this info that rushed in during these past weeks.

With this retrograde occurring in Taurus, a sign that does not care to be rushed, it may feel as if everything is suddenly crawling at a snails pace in relation to any Mercury issues being reviewed yet this is due to Taurus’s wish for us to examine everything in relation to reliability and in regards to the potential to be long-lasting.

There should be much more clarity at the end of this retrograde and what has been kept and carried forward and/or newly put into motion from information received during the early April period of Mercury’s direct pass, will carry the blessings of Taurus and be something well worth investing one’s energy into.

As with all Mercury retrograde periods there can be delays in all forms of communication and difficulties in personal communication relations. While anything in motion before retrograde station occurred will continue forward, albeit at a slower pace and possibly requiring adjustments, commitment to new projects or situations requiring ‘signing on the dotted line’ is not usually advisable due to a greater possibility of a change in heart upon direct motion.

These weeks bring a time for inner reflection and for getting clear about the details of that which has recently entered our lives.

Gemini and Virgo, these Mercury retro’s as you likely well know can tend to bring on some frazzled nerves and rushing, jangled thought forms, so take it slow and be cautious not to get caught in obsessive-compulsive mentality and behaviors due to perceiving molehills as mountains. That portion was for the most a self reminder (gemini-moon and virgo-sun) but if you need the reminder then it is yours too!
