Mercury Retrograde 2007Let’s now visit the water energies of 2007 and Mercury retrograde 3 times in Water signs. 2 of these retrogrades mercury will back into AIR which is ideas… What do you want to do with emotions, feelings, intuition, visions, passion, love, and how do you want to expand your life and your world? AND with the first and Last Mercury retrogrades of 2007 how do you want to change your MIND to change your life? WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD or experienced about mercury retrograde? I bet that many of you have heard some really BAD things about this time? Well, my personal take on this Planet of communication moving retrograde 3 or 4 times yearly is that it is a wonderful time to … RECONFIGURE my life. Mercury retrograde is one of the best times to RELEARN about ourselves and reconnect to our path, and reconsider our lives. How can this can be the VERY BEST time in the year for you? Well, when we change our ideas we change our life so this is a wonderful opportunity for that. IT is a time to reconsider your path, your job, your relationships and where you are going isn’t it? Personally, I think a bit more carefully before saying yes to people and things and also reconsider options and often reconnect with ideas and things from my past in order to revise attitudes and thoughts. Only by using this energy do I know when it is time to let something go. What can be bad about that? Well, you can decide to align with this energy and make it work in your favor or you can create bad situations by believing that this is a BAD time….. MANIFESTING IS NO MORE THAN ME MAKING THE INTENT TO sit down to this computer, turn it on and begin writing. Surely there is nothing magical about that? SHIFT HAPPENS WHETHER WE WANT IT TO OR NOT and there are facts that are not usually known. For example, Mercury retrograde is a good time for traveling, provided you enjoy serendipity! Changes in thoughts about this time will assist you to Change your own patterns for managing Mercury retrograde and maybe even some patterns for managing your life? Mercury Rx. Is somewhat like sitting in an auto and looking over at another auto, thinking that as you are parallel you are moving, when in truth the other auto is really moving? Have you ever experienced this? IN astrology and in your chart MERCURY is the planet which represents how you think, how you put words and ideas together and how you get those ideas, words and thoughts out to other people via spoken or written words…. HOW this planet is aspected tells an astrologer how you process, or do not process information and also some karmic information about past life processes of ideas….whether you were held back in other lifetimes or encouraged in ideas. Please remember, NO MATTER what happened in the past, we all have the option to use each mercury RX to shift and change all of that and move forward. ASTRONOMY WISE, IN THE SKY Mercury is THE CLOSEST planet to the sun… it is the second smallest planet in the solar system. *Its diameter if 40% smaller than earth and 40% larger than the moon. Mercury is named for the roman mythology God Mercury who was also the god of commerce, travel and thievery. The roman counterpart of the Greek God Hermes the messenger of the Gods. WE found this planet around the time of the Sumerians 3rd millennium BC… The surface of this planet resembles the moon and the deep craters were formed from lava flow. Mercury has an atmosphere which is NOT stable as earth is, but mercury’s atmosphere is constantly being replenished, as we do our minds, by INPUT and things coming in. Astrologically we use this planet for so very much and you also connect with this energy constantly… IT tells me how you think and how well you process ideas, communication and feeling in your own chart by the sign and house it resides in for you personally. 2007 BRINGS Mercury retrograde 3 times in the WATER SIGNS, water is about emotions, and connecting to inner voice and inner knowing. So, this RETHINK, replan, replay, revisit, revise, reconsider time is NOW in water. Water energy is more about connection to feelings and emotions than some of us are used to and we may need to sit down and LISTEN a bit more carefully to our body and soul talk to us... IN 2006 Mercury went backwards 3 times in Water but the difference was the retrograde in all 3 instances was that the planet stayed in the element of water (emotions) this year the game seems to have a higher reverberation as we elevate from Water backwards into the AIR signs… AIR Is ideas and so this year seems to surely fall in with the fact that 2007 is a 9 year of endings for this planet… RETHINK, replan, replay, revisit, revise, reconsider time began for us all really on February 2nd. MERCURY WENT INTO PISCES on Feb. 2nd 2007 and the band began to play our song.. Since Mercury entered the SHADOW POINT or 25 Degrees of Aquarius on January 30th this energy has been playing as background music for quite a while. Since this is the degree where it will go direct … MERCURY Went Retrograde on February 13th, 8;38pm PST at 10 Degrees of Pisces and will back into Aquarius on February 26th, and move direct at 25 degrees of Aquarius on March 7th. Mercury will remain in the point where it has crossed 2 times until March 28th when it again HITS that hot spot of 10 degrees of Pisces … What does this mean in ENGLISH? On the 26th the theme changes to IDEAS to breaking old routines, old thought patterns and we are open to an entire new way of thinking about our feelings…How to do this? I believe that this RADICAL year of 2007 will allow many of us to break the bonds of the past and move bravely forward into being who we TRULY KNOW WE CAN BE: THE THEME OF 2007 is 3 mercury Rx. In WATER or emotional energies is for us all about. REDREAMING OUR FUTURE, by re envisioning our past? REPAIRING our future before we get to it is now possible for us all. FOR you, is it now time to RETREAT into? Rethinking , replan, replay, revisit, revise, reconsider, Reconfigure, reprocessing our lives? IS it now time to Recognize our need to, reconnect, repair, replace, reconnect, re-envision, reinstate, RECOMMITMENT to ourselves and thus to our joy? June 15, 2007 at 4;40pm PDT here in Seattle Mercury moves retrograde in the home, security and safety sign of Cancer. This planet moves retrograde at 11 Degrees of Cancer and direct at 2 Degrees of Cancer July 9th. The theme of this retrograde seems appropriate for the summer and holiday season. What is important to you, what makes you feel safe, what can you do to make your life feel more secure and you happier within yourself? October 11, 2007 9:00 pm PDT here in Seattle Mercury moves Retrograde at 8 Degrees of Scorpio. Scorpio is fixed water, intense and passionate and has a tendency to look at what must be deleted more easily than any other sign. Mercury Backing into Libra on the 23rd Of October adds the AIR and relationship lightness which will be much appreciated during this time. The Astrological Air sign of Libra wants balance and harmony and fairness and this Mercury retrograde will allow us all to redirect our energies in relationships. Mercury will move direct at 23 degrees of Libra on November 1st. This particular Mercury retrograde will be wonderful to get in touch with your inner feelings, emotions and we will all be working on relationship issues. Remembering how important friendships and intimacy are during this time we are encouraged to redirect our energy from strong emotions back into the more stable negotiating territory of Libra and perhaps reconnect with those who are meaningful to us. Harsh words of the past can disappear during this magical time and our thoughts this year truly do change our reality if we allow it to happen? AREN”T All of these things Great? AND/ also.. Any NEW contracts signed during this time would be using all these above energies. AS our mind is using all these energies during this time? So, remembering that dreams can become possible this year if they are coming from the heart we now have one of the greatest opportunities of this planet for change. Mercury retrograde … is also a tool for each of us to learn more about our own inner processes this year, as well as CHANGE OUR MINDS to change our LIVES: MERCURY retrograde can be a VERY GOOD THING this year if we are open to keeping our minds OPEN: water opens the heart and AIR opens the mind….and your desire opens you to all good things if you choose? And ALSO::: remember reconnecting, redoing, repair, replay, replan, and reconfiguring are wonderfully aspected always during Mercury retrograde. AND it is not always the best time for new contracts or new purchases... AND yes, sometimes things do not go as planned…and as Always I am so grateful often for how MY plans did not come out as I had planned, but somehow A LARGER and BETTER plan came into being… AND this mercury retrograde year will SURELY GIVE you the same wonderful options to enlarge your life and your mind, and your visions ..
