In terms of zodiac, Sagittarius represents the part of being
that seeks wisdom through direct experience. When coupled with Mercury in a
retrograde station, we are ask to review those experiences in depth and
determine their significance to our lives. During the course of this transit,
running around or into some past choice, decision or option may play a major
role. Don’t expect this exploration to be
some cool, detached speculation but a passionate engagement meant to wring
answers from long standing questions. The following weeks may offer the
opportunity to explore some past concern in order to abandon or integrate it.
Follow intuitive cues and work toward rehabilitating some prior
concern. Both Mercury and Sagittarius will encourage a new, vigorous approach
but channel those energies towards strengthen or reinforcing past efforts and
projects. Retrogrades produce periods of reflection and review crucial to gaining
perspective and objectivity. This retrograde will ask you to rekindle something
you deemed lost or unworkable, so you’re
invited to tear into old scrapbooks, get back to some neglected project and revive
some long lost dream or desire.
Where ever Sagittarius figures in your birth chart (whether
planets or houses) you’ll need to look back upon some important concern in
service to making it count towards the future. Mercury in Sagittarius is notorious
for jumping to conclusion so get all the fact before taking a rash course of
action. For those of you with planets in Gemini, this is a time for reviewing
elements of the past before you can make some important move forward. As always, retrogrades tend to delay or defer
plans, affect electronics and even basic communications so humor and patience
are key at these times.
