Mercury Stations Retrograde

By Cindy Morrismercury-retrograde

Mercury, planet of communication, mischievous cosmic messenger, is hovering at 4 degrees Sagittarius, preparing for a three week retrograde journey back through the early degrees of Sagittarius all the back to 8 degrees Scorpio.

Mercury retrograde periods are times to revisit, revise, and review the areas of the zodiac that you have recently passed through. Though Mercury retrograde periods can cause various levels of havoc in the communication systems we have become so dependent upon – like our computers, email, voice mails, iphones, glarks (I made that up), and however you communicate with all the various systems and persons you so do. The trick is to relax (ha!) and not get too attached and entangled with all that isn’t working. Focus on what is working and commit to enjoy that. Take the time you would be busy connecting with others and connect with yourself!

As Mercury moves backwards from Sagittarius into Scorpio much that has been hidden – especially deep, emotional feelings, will make their way to the surface. Not always pretty but  always a relief. The TRUTH does, indeed set you FREE – free to make decisions based on what IS and not on what you think or wish things would be. This Mercury retrograde period will reveal all kinds of personal and collective truths that have been hidden for way too long. How you respond and what the personal truths are for you are shown in your chart.

My relatives back East lost all internet connection with the hurricane for what seemed to be an eternity to them. Their offices are in what was the black-out zone and so no work could be done. And there was no way to get there even if the lights were on. Talk about having to stop everything and just be. There very well could be more of this with Mercury stirring up all kinds of mischief and confusions, shut-downs and re-routing.

No question that ANXIETY is at an all time high when Mother Nature ushers in life-changing storms and LIFE as we have known it has shifted in ways we probably would have chosen to put off indefinitely. To manage ANXIETY it is best to be with what IS, to be in the present moment reality, grounding yourself to the center of the Earth, practicing staying strongly connected to your Higher Guidance every single moment. Staying grounded, connected to SOURCE (your Higher Guidance), focusing on staying centered and calm is the preferred method of experiencing Mercury retrograde periods.

Look to what comforts you and embrace that.Cindy Morris,MSW  is a practicing astrologer and writer for over 30 years.
