Welcome, friends, to a most auspicious Mercury retrograde. Not all Mercury retrogrades are equal or even alike. The Mercury retrograde this past summer that joined the eclipse points was a difficult and intense time for many of us. This Mercury retrograde is vastly different. For one thing, no eclipses. It is aligned with Saturn that helps us bring things into focus. It supports grounding and realistic thinking. Mercury retrograde is often a great time to change a habit and this one is especially good for changing a long established pattern. That it begins with a Full Moon helps us see what is truly our path, at least for the next month. In these few days, take a moment to set an intention for what you want to see happen in your life and in the world. The alignment right now of Mercury and Saturn with the Galactic Center helps us see what is true and what the big picture of our life is. Get beyond the fear and take a risk to be true to a larger vision.
The first week of the Mercury retrograde is the most challenging. When Mercury moves back into Scorpio on December 10th, it joins Venus who is in a Parivatna Yoga with Mars, and with Mars joined to Jupiter, this creates a very auspicious support for well-being and harmony in our relationships. Mars has just moved into Libra joining Jupiter and moving into a Parivatna Yoga with Venus. These are auspicious and helpful aspects in astrology. Good for joy in relationships. Supportive of creativity, wisdom and hope. Something becomes possible that has felt very difficult since the summer eclipses. During the summer, I think the Dragon spirit (Nodes of the Moon) opened it's mouth and set fire to an embedded pattern of oppression in the world soul. For the past few months with Mercury and Mars in contentious places to each other, it has been easy to start fights. For those who have woke up and taken a strong stance against abuse, the fire may have blown back on them a bit. When Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio, we have a chance to align in a better way with healing and support for those speaking out. This genie is not going back in the bottle. The Eclipse on January 31st is a powerful eclipse for world change. The revolution begins. Another firestorm is released. When Mars stations in June 2018, it stations at the Jan 31st eclipse point. An event that seems random and completely out of anyone's hands erupts in January or early February. In June, actions are taken to rectify this event. The revolt that happens in the summer of 2018 may not appear successful in the short term, but it successfully sets up the parameters for the big change from 2026 to 2031. Creating a new economy is part of the vision change.
