Mercury Retrograde Reminder! Saturday is the Full Moon in Cancer and Mercury makes a Rx station on Sunday, January 11.
The steps to manifesting your goals may be clear. Yet, astrological aspects indicate that it will help to be patient and carefully examine our infrastructure— as within, so without.
This year gets off to a start that seems to say, it’s business as usual. While Mercury is Rx, Saturn stationed Rx on New Year’s Eve, and the Inauguration happens while the Moon is Void of Course, there is MUCH MORE to be optimistic about than dispairing! Whatever we are rushing now may take longer than planned, especially if we have to rebuild. Yet, the potential benefits are AWESOME, and taking BIG steps can make a world of difference. We are rebuilding deep, inner infrastructure– as withOut, so withIn. This is serious business and it takes focus. But we are willing BECAUSE we care enough to put more energy into understanding problems. We are starting to realize just how much we can do when we decide to DO it! When we honor the process, and take it one step at a time, we start to move mountains.
This Mercury Rx is the time to actively prepare, get organized. You can meet people who will give you support and new ideas. By mid February, anything is possible. Stick with it! This is the faith-as-substance part of the process! Get Mercury Rx details on artcharts
Mercury is Rx in Aquarius, going back into Capricorn. We are poised and ready to make progress, but before we get too far ahead of ourselves (symbolized by Mercury getting too far ahead of the Sun), we have to reexamine how things are built from the inside out as Mercury moves from far-sighted Aquarius back into Capricorn right after the Inauguration. Don’t stress! This is just part of the process of actually changing. Jupiter is in early Aquarius, so this Mercury Rx period is framed by a Mercury-Jupiter conjunction. It’s happening. We ARE creating the change we want. We can make major leaps in world affairs. We can visualize success. It will just take some awareness and the willingness to be conscious so we, as a group, can get along in a way that is balanced and respectful and plentiful.
Since Mercury rules communication, and is moving between Aquarius and Capricorn, this is a great time to think about how we communicate with groups. How effective is the way you communicate with other? Do you get your needs and goals met in a way that preserves and even increases good feelings? Is what you’re saying necessary? Does it have to be said? Is it kind? Is it helpful? You may also find that working with a group will take extra attention to detail and there can be seemingly endless re-dos as everyone has changes they need to make. It will help to keep the big picture in mind, remember WHY you do the things you do, not just the details.
