MOVING AHEAD CAUTIOUSLY TO BEGIN WITH !!!


MERCURY completed its first retrograde journey for 2020 and stationed  back into direct motion Monday, March 9th, at 11:49 PM EDT  - do I hear a BIG SIGH OF RELIEF out there ???



Hopefully, some of the disorientation, confusion, frustration and outright irritation along with the sudden and unexpected issues that may have been produced by this Mercury retrograde 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 quite a few "a-ha" as well as "uh-oh" lights coming on in regard to decisions made or actions taken during the retrograde period from February 16th through March 9th, and possibly as far back as February 2nd when Mercury entered its shadow point - the point where it would come out of this retrograde journey on March 9th at 28 degrees 13 minutes AQUARIUS  ... did issues and complications or questioning arise in regards to things done during the last retrograde period from October 31st through November 20th, 2019??? ... or maybe even as far back as the retrograde period from July 7th through July 31st, 2019 ??? ... and it's a sure bet that as Mercury moves forward once again crossing back over the degrees it covered during this retrograde period issues may begin to arise potentially sooner than later in whatever was going on the first time it crossed over the retrograde degrees !!! ... Mercury crossed over 28 degrees 13 minutes Aquarius through 12 degrees 53 minutes Pisces from February 2nd through February 16th, then went backwards over them during the retrograde, and now moves forward over them once again from March 9th through March 29th - the good old "scrubbing effect" as we sometimes like to refer to it !!!



Mercury retrograde periods, even though annoying and extremely frustrating at times, are actually a very beneficial thing, especially for those who were strong and fearless 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 more 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 which house or houses 12 degrees 53 minutes PISCES back to 28 degrees 13 minutes Aquarius falls - what kinds of issues did you have to  deal with in the areas of life governed by that house or in some cases 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 ??? ... I heard from many people that this Mercury retrograde was particularly rough and it was as well to me ... perhaps because Mercury was already in a sign that it is said to be in detriment in ... and now it remains to be seen if untangling the errors will be more challenging because of this !!!



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 yourself or have taken against you that you or the other person may now be regretting. or you may be simply wondering why you chose to do what you did or why you were the victim of a particular course of action from other(s), and why didn't you or the other person wait a little longer ...  or perhaps you are simply now trying to figure out why it even happened ???



Relationships may have come to an end - some needed to be released and others may have jumped the gun and you are now wondering, or will be, why did I do that or end things during this period ...  how many of you had relationship issues surface or resurface - extremely likely in a Mercury retrograde - that you thought surely had been resolved or didn't even realize existed ???  ... or how many of you had one or more people come back through your life that you thought you had seen the last of or even forgot about and now most of them are gone or going once again ???  ... and how many of you began new actions within a relationship, personal or professional without waiting for the retrograde period to conclude ??? ... AND ... how many of you got married - OOPSIE  ???



Did anyone make any major purchases - homes, cars, electronics - that now don't seem like the best thought out course of action or that you are beginning to regret or will do so in the days ahead ??? ... 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 processing facilities are no longer going backwards - at least for most of us - in regard  to Mercury and its functions, it's time to finally RELEASE these emotional holds and allow ourselves to move forward with our lives ... let go of what is best left in the past so you can achieve greater personal and spiritual growth !!!



Mercury retrograding in the sign of Pisces already had challenges from the start as Mercury is considered to be in detriment in the sign of Pisces .... this means it is in opposition to a sign that it naturally rules in this case being the sign of Virgo ... therefore there was the potential for more mental and emotional confusion to exist as well as the possibility for very strange erratic dreams and psychic experiences !!! ... it also could have yielded an emphasis for an opportunity to rethink old habit patterns and how we emotionally respond to life’s challenges ... As Pisces is ruled by Neptune the planet of illusion, delusion, the spiritual and enlightenment, our minds may have become distracted either by confusion and misunderstandings, already a given in a Mercury retrograde, or strongly drawn to our intuitive abilities and the pursuit of the "ideal" ... also as Pisces, whose planetary ruler is Neptune, naturally rules the 12th house, there could have been issues regarding dealing with our inner strengths and weaknesses; endings on some level of our lives; places of confinement - jails, hospitals or mental institutions; the desire to withdraw to places of solitude so we may quietly reflect on our life and where we are heading; our frustrations; inner consciousness and the subconscious mind; charitable endeavors; we could also have been deeply inspired if we have an aptitude for art, music, dancing or writing; or maybe we were dealing with actions that could ultimately result in our own self-undoing !!!


On March 4th, Mercury returned to the sign of Aquarius to complete its first retrograde journey for 2020 ... Mercury retrograde in the sign of Aquarius yields an emphasis to ones friendships, ideas, and goals in life as those are the issues addressed in the 11th house of the natural zodiac which is ruled by Uranus the planet ruling Aquarius ... to that end, there may also have been issues with groups to which one belongs, non-emotional relationships, the love one receives, money obtained from ones profession or business, step children, adopted children and foster children, circumstances in life over which you little control, and ones humanitarian interests ... the mind could also have become filled with many creative, cutting edge ideas as one tries to determine how to incorporate them into ones life ... hopefully one proceeded  cautiously and didin't act on them until Mercury resumed direct motion !!!



In regards to overall health, remember Mercury is the natural planetary ruler of the 6th house which rules health, so there could be more chances to have health issues in general during a Mercury retrograde possibly ... in Pisces there could have been issues in the area of the feet and pineal glands ... in Aquarius there could have been issues in the area of the ankles and the nervous system ... a Mercury retrograde is usually not a good time to have surgery as the healing process could be slowed down or there could be the chance of having to go back at a later date and take care of something that wasn't done correctly - especially in regards to cosmetic surgery !!! ... now this applies to elective surgery so how many of you chose to do elective surgery and was the outcome what you were expecting ??? ... as for emergency surgery, we have no control over that and trying to put that off might have produced catastrophic results !!!



Gemini and Virgo born since Mercury is your natural ruling planet, did you "try" and slow down for personal review and rethinking - especially in regards as to what has transpired in your lives since Mercury last resumed direct motion back on November 20th, 2019??? ... what have you learned about yourself in regards to where you are going and whether or not you are proceeding wisely in order to become more successful ??? ... what did you discover that MUST be changed - in fact what did anyone discover that MUST be changed so you are not left stagnant and hanging in limbo ???




Mercury now moves forward to complete its entire transit through the sign of Aquarius on Monday, March 16th which initially began back on January 16th ... Mercury will conclude its transit through Pisces on April 10th/11th depending on which time zone in which you live !!!



Mercury will exit its retrograde zone on March 29th when it reaches 12 degrees 53 minutes Pisces, the point where it began this first retrograde journey for 2020 back on February 16th ... Mercury remains in  direct motion until June 18th when it begins its second retrograde journey for 2020 at 14 degrees 46 minutes CANCER ... it will be completely retrograde in the sign of Cancer going from 14 degrees 46 minutes Cancer back to 5 degrees 30 minutes Cancer where it will station back into direct motion on July 12th ... and just a caveat here, Mercury will be retrograde during the final 7 days of the upcoming Venus retrograde !!!



 But for now -Time for moving on !!!
