Mercury has now positioned at direct station @ 6° Virgo and Pluto, in a few short hours, will also position at direct station @ 3° Capricorn.
For a refresher on what these two retrograde periods were focused upon revisit these previous posts: Mercury Retrograde Virgo 2010 and Pluto Retrograde Capricorn 2010
Mercury will remain within the retrograde shadow until crossing 19° Virgo on September 28th. There may continue to be retrograde related hiccups though I personally felt this retrograde was quite benign. Of course the first few days after direct station are occasionally when Mercury can play the trickster and get in a few late HaHa’s so hopefully I will not be eating my words. Bless you Mercury! 🙂
Now through September 27th we consolidate that which we have observed and put considerations to and begin to move toward externally expressing our revised Mercury-Virgo directives(ie. health care, daily routines, communications). Being that this retrograde followed Saturn’s 2 1/2 year transit of Virgo, which taught us new ways of utilizing our Virgo sectors and attributes, the benefits coming from this period should be quite apparent as we move through the remainder of September. This will be especially true for anyone that has a personal planet within the degree’s of retrograde span either in Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius or Pisces.
************
Pluto now begins to traverse the degree’s between 2°47′ – 5°25′ Capricorn, for the 3rd and final time, completing on January 4th, 2011 this retrograde cycle that began last spring. As of January we will come to the conclusion of transformations that Pluto first began initiating us to in September of 2009.
As of January 4th we will have crossed 5°25′ of Capricorn and will begin an entirely new set of Pluto-Capricorn transformational experiences.
For now we begin to integrate our inner-plutonian transformations, that were catalyzed during the retrograde phase between early April until now (and amped by the past summer’s Cardinal Crosses and T-squares too!), into our external expressions. Pluto, being the major player that he was in the T-squares and Grand Crosses, catalyzed profound changes within us that are likely to bring many dynamic changes into our personal and collective lives externally over the next months.

With both Mercury and Pluto shifting direction in such a short time frame, this week may feel like suddenly everything has flipped around and may cause some sensitivity overload. Try not to become frazzled by the sudden shift by continuing to honor the Sun’s stay in Virgo with attending to your basic health care needs. Just say “No” if necessary to anything that does not allow you to maintain your own good health and peace of mind.

Benign?? Not here – had constant tech hassles and communication problems the whole time – even my husband was asking when it would be over!
Pluto eh? oh joy! At least next time it comes this way in 2011 it stops just short of my house ( thanks for small mercies).
I am breathing though Kachina! Was doing pranayama all along which was a big help. Bye bye Saturn, here’s your train ticket and sandwiches, mind how you go!!!

I burst into giggles reading your opening sentiment Morvah. Sorry you had such a go of it but if it helps you gave me a good snicker!
Made me wonder why this one was light for me though…especially since it backed over my IC and Sun in 3rd…I think maybe it’s because MercRX snafu’s are already a common everyday thing for me. My Merc aspects Uranus, Jupiter and Mars closely and I am fairly used to weird goings on with electronics, travels and the such. The way I’ve learned to get around it, or at least minimize it, is to not sweat it. Computer has issues..I just switch gears and give it time to work out it’s kinks. Always does provided I don’t go tinkering with it. I don’t know if that’s advisable for everyone but I’ve discovered for myself that not trying to fix something by deeming it’s ‘broken’ or dysfunctional in some way always turns out well in the end when I just allow it to right itself.
Ah! Saturn opposed my Chiron the past days and likely I will write on it soon..still getting over the whammy it brought up though concerning success and responsibility fears. OY! (Chiron-Aries-10th). Was a tough few days but perfectly timed for my personal goals.
“Bye bye Saturn, here’s your train ticket and sandwiches, mind how you go!!!”.…delightfully respectful of our Old Man Saturn. Time to soon break out the noisemaker’s and party hats? WooHoo!

Hi Melanie,
Sorry for your many mishaps..sounds a bit more than just a MercuryRx in play though to me. I hope you’ve hit the end of this run though and everything starts turning right side up again for you!
I think often we have smaller accidents, mishaps, annoyances and the such occur to derail larger occurrences. I’ve had so many instances of this in my life and know many others than can recount the same. Maybe this isn’t true in every case..but I do think we often ignore, or just don’t catch on to, our guidance system and try to push past certain things that were “stop now” measures..and then we get another slightly more forceful ‘monkey wrench’ of some sort in an attempt to slow us down a notch…
Blessings~xo

I had the strangest thing occur to me on the early morning hours of 9/13/2010.
i was dreaming and then while i was half in dream state and half awake i had this wierd feeling wash all over my body, where i was almost paralyzed and something was awakening inside of me, or changing, reconnecting, transforming, i dont really now how to describe it. all i knew is that I felt like “Were tired of waiting for you” and i fell onto the floor in meditation positiion, as i look u into the mirror and my altar on my dresser images appeared and it was really amazing and scary at the same time.
since then so many changes have occured spiritually. I just really need to reach out to someone and know that i am not going crazy, that the things i feel are actual.
