Questions Related to Timing

Q: “my husband has been looking and wanting this job for 10 years, he has been offered it during Mercury retrograde, should he take it”

A: Absolutely he needs to take the job….…not only did he probably begin looking before the Mercury retrograde began, but nothing should deter you from doing what you KNOW you should be doing. AND that said, if he (she) could begin after Mercury went direct that would be the best plan of action. IF he (she) cannot do that, just take the job and realize that it will be rewritten and things will shift within it.

Q: What is my least favorite question? WHAT do you think about this day for surgery, after the person has scheduled the date and it is often the day before the surgery? I always want to charge clients about $500 for this very uncomfortable question.

1. IF you were worried you should have looked at dates before you set up surgery or had an appointment with an astrologer.
2. Does anyone want to tell you NO, that is a horrible date?
3. Sometimes we must do things on NOT so good days, prayer, positive thought and a positive outlook weighs much heavier than anything planetary in my books. So, if it is set up, you are not changing it, PUT THE MOST POSITIVE energy possible into it and KNOW that all will be divine and perfect. AND no that is NOT a cop out. IT is the cold hard facts of how this works…
4. And you can always make an appointment or do the quick one question service which I have added to my website.

NOTE: Here’s a somewhat similar question that brings in the issue of Mercury retrograde. It was asked specifically in relation to Mercury retrograde in a water sign. Use this site and what you know about the other signs to judge the impact of Mercury retrograde in other elements.

Q: What do you think about something done like surgery during mercury rx?

A: Mercury retrograde is redo, replan, rethink, reconfigure. I would first look at the information I have on my web site which tells you a lot about retrogrades. IT will also mention in several places that Energy in water besides emotions is about bleeding and swelling and Figure that a mercury rx. In a water sign which is what we will have in NOVEMBER Would not be my first choice. Then I would look at What the sun was in and Moon and a lot more, but most especially how this was working in my own chart.

Then I would figure that if I felt that an elective surgery were something I wanted To do and I believed in astrology I would have a competent astrologer do my Chart and see what was going on for me personally during that time. OR I would Just set an intention that it would all be divine and perfect and sense how I personally Felt about it. And go ahead if it felt right..

And if it was NON ELECTIONAL I would then trust in GOD and do a prayer And intention that I WOULD KNOW that all would be divine and perfect.

Q: What is the best day for a marriage? 

A: Well, this depends on a number of things and a good astrologer has to look at both people’s charts as well as the energies going on in the sky. NO ASTROLOGER will EVER suggest that you get married Mercury retrograde, Mars retrograde or Venus Retrograde times. (CHECK my websites for these times).

Q: What is the best time for a seminar or workshop or what not? SAME answer as above.

A: I have lots of information on my website to help and assist you with all this and more. And that said, an appointment with a good astrologer will surely get you the very best date and time also. YEP time is important also.

Q: What importance does the moon have in timing?

A: Well, if the moon shifts moods, emotions and the energies, you might want to build during earth moon times, and for sure you need to realize that half of the month is a time when things increase and grow and ½ the month is a time when we naturally LET go. HOW TO Use this time is part of what an astrology calendar class will get for you..
