Mercury Goes Direct

Back into the swing of things!

 

Today, Mercury swings back into his normal flight path. If you've been plagued with misunderstandings, communication problems, computer problems, or transport or travel problems, thankfully now everything will go back to normal.

Mercury rules the mind, thought and all forms of communication; as the wing-footed messenger of the gods he also rules transport, transmission and travel. He's the small planet who whips around the sun in a tight orbit. This symbolizes the speed of thought and the mind's gifts: analysis, reason, logic, knowledge, learning, education and even intelligence itself.

He is the planet behind Gemini's reputation for witty, lively, amusing conversation. In today's world where communication, transport and travel are so important, Mercury is a god with greater influence than he had in ancient times. He affects the mail, UPS, FedEx, the Internet,
email, e-commerce, cell phones, telephones, television, music sharing and even data transfer. He still presides over non-technical forms of communication like conversation, gossip, speeches, all forms of writing, comics, people watching and has sway in documentaries and even movies. All the ways we 'speak,' personally and culturally, are within his domain.

The sign Mercury was visiting at the moment of your birth reveals your personal communication, thinking and learning style. For example, Mercury in Scorpio would be an intense communicator who gets to the heart of the matter with sometimes brutal directness. A Mercury in Pisces might try to communicate all the rapidly shifting emotions and thoughts that course through their mind, making them sometimes confusing and confused. If you were born with Mercury retrograde your style of communication is often quite different from those around you. This gives you the benefit having startlingly unusual, interesting ideas and the problem of having those ideas understood and appreciated.

Mercury makes this transit three times a year, for three weeks at a time. His fast pace and huge responsibilities demand periods of rest and rejuvenation time. Whenever possible, we should try to work with his rhythms.

Retrograde Mercury is a change in course; it demands reassessment, review and reappraisal. In order to get our attention, Mercury has disrupted communications forcing us to notice things that were done haphazardly or sloppily and to set them right. If you've experienced communication issues with loved ones or co-workers the Mercury retrograde revealed where you need to correct matters or acknowledge problems. If you haven't had time to reflect on how Mercury has revealed what need to be addressed, now is the perfect time to do so.

With Mercury again available to get communication going clearly and effectively; he lends all his quickness and clarity to fix any areas that were affected. If these times are used properly, first during the retrograde slow down and notice problems, then afterwards correct the problems, communications year 'round go more smoothly. The problem is that in the modern world we hate to stop pushing forward - all the time. To plan for a Mercury Retrograde, schedule time with as little important communications and travel as possible; and then afterwards make necessary readjustments. This careful use of Mercury will put you into touch with the natural astrological rhythms - the Music of the Spheres.
