"COME ON AND EASE ON DOWN, EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD ..."

Mercury completed its final retrograde journey of 2009 yesterday morning, 1/15, at 11:52 AM EST and stationed back into direct motion - YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... time to ease on back into the swing of things on many levels ... over the next few days to the next few weeks or even months, there may be some "a-ha" lights coming on in regard to decisions made during the retrograde period from 12/26 - 1/15 and possibly as far back as 12/09 when Mercury entered its shadow point - the point where it would come out of the retrograde journey yesterday morning which was at 5 degrees of Capricorn ... what actions did you take or were taken against you in regards to your career and/or public image and also in relationships that you may be regretting or simply wondering why you chose that particular course of action and didn't wait a little longer or are now wondering why it happened ???? .... did you make any major purchases - homes, cars, electronics - that now don't seem like the best thought out course of action ??? ... there could be outright problems regarding any purchases made with anything where electrical energy and/or computers were involved .... relationships may have come to an end - some needed to and others may have jumped the gun and are you are now wondering, or will be, why did I do that or end things at this point ... all of these scenarios are possible as the energy of a Mercury retrograde is one where communications and mental energy is going "backwards" ... now there may be a few instances where nothing really majored happened rather only minor annoyances ... those of you born with your natal Sun between 5 and 21 degrees of Capricorn may also have had something significant to occur during this retrograde as Mercury passed back over your natal Sun ... (hint: if you have, or have not, had a natal chart run that means your birthday falls roughly between December 27th and January 12th ... also any new beginnings made and contracts signed during the retrograde period may not pan out in the end as the energy simply won't be supported .... and of course Gemini and Virgo born your period of review and reflection is over once again so you may start your engines and continue on your quest !!!

Mercury remains in the sign of Capricorn until February 10th and will continue in direct motion until it begins its next retrograde journey for this year in mid April .... we can all step back now and take a deep breath and then proceed to bust a move forward - BUT A REMINDER .... we are STILL in a MARS RETROGRADE UNTIL MARCH 10TH, so it may seem like things are somewhat stagnant until then, and we also may feel that the energy of this New Year 2010 does not really start fully moving until then - so as the song goes "don't you carry nothin that might be a load, come on ease on down, ease on down, down the road" !!!
