MERCURY
completed its second retrograde journey for 2015 yesterday, June 11th, and
stationed back into direct motion at 6:33 PM EDT - do I hear a BIG SIGH OF
RELIEF out there ??? ... there were many people who commented on what a particularly disruptive and annoying Mercury retrograde this one turned out to be ... hopefully, the disorientation, confusion, and outright irritation along
with the sudden and unexpected issues that may have been produced by this
Mercury retrograde in Gemini will now begin to clear and subside as it becomes time to
move forward into the swing of things on all levels ... over the next few days
to the next few weeks or even months, there will undoubtedly be some "a-ha"
lights coming on in regard to decisions made or actions taken during the
retrograde period from 5/18 through yesterday, 6/11, and possibly as far back
as 5/4 when Mercury entered its shadow point - the point where it would come
out of the retrograde journey yesterday which was at 4 DEGREES 34 MINUTES GEMINI ... did issues and complications or questioning arise in regards to things done
during the last retrograde period from January 21st through February 11th ??? ...
or maybe even as far back as the retrograde period from October 4th through October 25th ???
Mercury
retrograde periods, even though annoying and extremely frustrating at times, are actually a very
beneficial thing, especially for those who were strong and brave enough to dig
deep down, as we need to validate, or in some cases invalidate, actions and
situations gone awry and deal with them in order to finally release them to
produce a calmer, positive and productive state of mind thus allowing us to move
forward to bring about greater personal and spiritual growth !!! ... if you've
had a natal chart done, you should look to see in what house or houses 13 DEGREES 9 MINUTES back down to 4 DEGREES 34 MINUTES GEMINI falls - what
kinds of issues did you have to deal with in the areas of life governed by those
houses ??? ... how many of you went with the flow and how many of you tried to
swim upstream in the raging current of Cosmic confusion ???
Of
course the recurring question we may find ourselves asking now that Mercury is
back in direct motion is "WHY" ??????? ...What actions did you take or were
taken against you that you may now be regretting or simply wondering why you
chose to do or why you were the victim of a particular course of action, and
why didn't you or the other person wait a little longer or are simply now
trying to figure out why it happened ???? ... relationships may have come to an
end - some needed to and others may have jumped the gun and you are now
wondering, or will be, why did I do that or end things at this point ... how
many of you had relationship issues resurface that you thought surely had been
resolved ??? ... how many of you got married - OOPSIE !!! ... 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 problems regarding any
purchases made especially with anything where electrical energy and/or computers
were involved ... all of these scenarios are possible as the energy of a Mercury
retrograde is one where communications and mental energy is going "backwards"
... so now that the mental facilities are no longer going backwards - at least
for most of us !!! - it's time to finally RELEASE these emotional holds and
allow ourselves to move forward with our lives !!!
Mercury
retrograding in the sign of Gemini should have yielded an emphasis for us to rethink how we
respond to life and how we relate - intellectually more so than emotionally ...
and as Gemini is an air sign and rules the 3rd house which includes all forms of
communication, you can bet these got crossed and frequently
especially as previously stated this is what normally gets affected in a Mercury
retrograde regardless of the sign it is in ... with the keyword of the 3rd house
being "AWARENESS", were there not times when we seem to have been "lost in a fog" and
not processing clearly ... along with communications, there could have been issues
regarding your local environment, brothers and sisters, all means of
transportation especially in relation to short trips, and the adaptability of
ones mind to learn and understand new ideas ... in regards to health, though
issues can flare up most anywhere as Mercury naturally rules the 6th house which
concerns health and nutrition, issues could have especially flared up regarding the
hands, arms, shoulders and lungs ...
Mercury now moves
forward to complete its journey through Gemini ... and just a quick reminder
of what this energy is all about follows:
Mercury is very much at home here and functions well because this is an air
sign, and it is considered to be in dignity as this is one of the two signs
Mercury naturally rules - the other sign being Virgo ... the windmills of your
mind are definitely going to have the potential to be spinning in overdrive for
awhile ... this Mercury likes to talk ... and talk ... and talk ... and talk -
this energy has the potential to give many of us a brutal case of "diarrhea of
the mouth" !!!
Mercury
in Gemini gives a mind and tongue that can be very restless but very good at
absorbing and learning information easily and then sharing it ... one can be
quite articulate but sometimes have the tendency to talk or even gossip too much
... there is a skill for verbal expression and the ability to communicate
quickly and cleverly ... often the ideas and manner of speech come off a bit
superficial due to the urge to communicate perceived information immediately or
because one is covering too much ground too fast ... this energy is all about
learning and communicating ... there is a high degree of curiosity about
everything coupled with an eagerness to learn as much as possible - the world is
ones school of life and therein exists a sumptuous, endless and delicious
banquet of knowledge !!! ... the mind is likely to be logical, rational, and
able to offer information on most any topic ... friendly interchanges are
frequent along with the tendency to ask a lot of questions ... there is a high
degree of nervous energy which can flow into speech, gestures, writing or manual
dexterity in some fashion ... there is also the possibility of physical
dexterity and flexibility ...
Those
born with Mercury in Gemini, as well as the rest of us that are subject to its
transiting influence, can be very hard to pin down ... one often holds down more
than one job or may work on a number of projects at one time ... quick,
versatile and interested in the world at large, one tends to live mostly on a
mental plane ... one MUST have facts and information - there is a basic need to
KNOW ... this energy frequently makes one good at languages and math, gives one
a love of reading, studying , traveling, and talking with new people about what
you have learned or are thinking about ... there is also the potential for a
lack of being able to stick-to-it as well as a lack of order in ones life ...
usually this energy can produce one who knows a little bit about everything but
not a lot about anything !!!
Mercury
in Gemini teaches us to learn to think through communicating ... the mind is fed
and nurtured through making contact with as many people and as many subjects as
possible ... the intellect is wired up and ready to go ... it must constantly be
stimulated otherwise nervous irritability or restlessness can occur ... the mind
is efficient due to its ability to be quick and acquisitive, but the quality of
the mind is only as good as what is being fed into it through social, business
and educational pursuits - input becomes just as important as output !!! ...
there is the capability of thinking on two or more levels at one time ... but
one must guard against not having a definite direction to move in or else there
can be the result of great mental confusion ... the energy of Mercury in Gemini
can be expressed the following ways:
POSITIVE:
articulate, curious, well-informed, widely read, quick-witted, lively mind, fast
learner, dexterous, clever, humorous, sharp, fluent, inventive, versatile,
original, handy, interesting, agreeable, unbiased, logical
NEGATIVE:
chatterbox, nosy, gossip, superficial knowledge, highly strung, unruly mind,
non persevering, fidgety, crafty, mischievous, flippant, makeshift, imitative,
simplistic, trite, scatters energies, unfocused, misses the point
Mercury
transiting through Gemini is an excellent time to open your mind to countless
new ideas and information ... allow your mind to be like a sponge absorbing as
much as it can realistically process ...
Gemini
and Virgo born, yet another period of review and reflection for you has come to
an end ... how have you been enlightened and how was your life affected by having Mercury retrograding in your birth sign ?????? ... your ruling planet now resumes
forward motion and much to your delight so will you - even though you were probably trying to do it during the actual retrograde ... right, of course right !!!
Mercury
remains in Gemini until July 8th ... even though Mercury has resumed forward motion it will not be back up to full speed
until June 27th when it exits the retrograde zone - the point where it began the
actual retrograde period - as it returns to 13 DEGREES 9 MINUTES GEMINI ...
Now that Mercury is back in forward motion, the Sun and Mars are certainly more energetic in their transits as they will function more efficiently while currently transiting through Gemini with its ruling planet no longer affecting their respective transits with disrupting retrograde energy ... and Gemini born are surely now doing their happy dance - although a lot of us are doing one as well !!!
Mercury remains in direct motion until September 17th when it will begin its third and final retrograde journey for 2015 which will be completely in the sign of Libra - and coming on the heels of the completion of Venus being retrograde in Leo ... watch out partnerships and relationships - more choppy waters lie ahead !!! ...
for now though, it's time for everyone to -
BUST A MOVE !!!
