THIS MERCURY RETROGRADE IS KICKING MY ASS



 The people around me, my friend’s family and co-workers know to not fear the dreaded mercury retrograde, that there is value in the slow down. That just some things in life it's about timing. Mercury retrograde is one if them. It's the usual conversation about travel communications electronics, of signals being crossed and misunderstandings. It means easing off the gas and seeing what needs to be tweaked and shifted.
However, this mercury retrograde has to deal with planetary characters that reads like the cast of the sopranos; everyone is full of drama, affiliations and shared ulterior motives; these planets are incestual, willful and working together in ways that confound us even more than the usual mercury retrograde.

I’m going to break this down.

First we start with a family tree.

Pluto and Mars= Scorpio= intense life/death power & passion
Mercury is the detail-oriented ruler of perfectionist Virgo
Saturn rules Capricorn= structure, goals unwavering and achievements at all cost

This mercury retrograde there's a mutual reception; mutual receptions are where two planets “swap kids” and watch out for and influence each other’s kids/signs. that they rule.

Saturn is in Scorpio
Pluto is in Capricorn

In addition the North Node of destiny and Mercury are also in Scorpio; these guys are also involved in this tango.

To stir the pot even more…
Mars is in Virgo. The planet of war, power and aggression is in Mercury ruled Virgo.
And then….
A trine between Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn.

What this all means is the Scorpio power has its hand on nearly every major planetary behavior right now. There are a few exceptions (Jupiter in Cancer, Venus in Sagittarius and Neptune/Chiron in Pisces) but not enough to cancel out the Scorpio thing we have going on.

The fact that Mercury is retrograde In Scorpio, with all of this Scorpio energy is that this is not your usual retrograde. It’s an amped up one, heavy with conversations of fate, passion and “keeping it real”. This Mercury Retrograde won’t just interrupt the flow of your life, it will rearrange your life by bringing up old emotions, secrets and issues you thought you had buried. Pluto resurrects things, so be ready to dance with a zombie. The way that you handle the usual Mercury Retrograde rigmarole will pull away your pretty façade and show you the beast that lies behind your smile. We will all be rather gross for the next few weeks, so be prepared for it. When it’s all said and done truth will have prevailed, and freedom will ring. By the time this ends (November 10) we will all be in a much more authentic place. Hopefully we will all still be speaking to each other …
