( I’m sorry for the
considerable delay on this post. I blame the Retrograde. Hopefully, you will
find this useful. Thank you for your indulgence)
Mercury Retrograde in Leo began on July 25th. As of
this posting we are halfway through (it concludes on August 18/19th 12:25 EDT/ 9:25PDT). This particular Retrograde
may ask you to evaluate what roles you play in your daily life and
positions you occupy to determine if they serve you. “Who you are?” Maybe the most
important question you’ll be asking yourself at this time. Re-examination of your
loyalties, position and past priories in some area may very significant for you
at this time.
Mercury,
in Astrology, governs thought, communications, short term travel and Ideas. It
is the ruling planet for Gemini and Virgo. In its retrograde mode Mercury
operates in a fashion contrary its normal function, requiring us to review, reexamine
or/and reconsider our thinking and plans
Leo, In astrology, represents
authority and rulership and members of this sign are the natural leaders of the
zodiac. Leo, at its best, can be generous,
loyal and honorable. At its worst, it can be over-confident, egotistical and
inflexible.
Mercury in Leo may require a second look or rehabilitation
of some role or position in your life. Where are you in charge and where are
must cede control to other forces? Is it time to prepare major transition or to
commit yourself to your current position? The next three weeks may ask you to
reaffirm or reestablish your place or position in some area of your life.
Retrogrades are not periods to initiate new
endeavors, but review past ones. Real changes should be made after the
transit ends on August 18/19th. Things may change during this period, but take
your cue from issues that arise during the transit. You may need to make some
adjustments at this time, but leave off radical changes until after Mercury
goes direct. Spend time in
spiritual practices and creative endeavors during this period. Any creative projects
should prove helpful and instructive at this time. You should dwell upon things
that predate the retrograde and be mindful of starting any new works during the
transit.
It is at this point we issue the standard reminder
about retrogrades. They have the power to delay and confound plans and day to
day operations. Devices for communication are susceptible to Mercury's
caprices, so be mindful of this when dealing with computers, cell phones and
written information. The potential for miscommunication are
considerable so strive for clarity in all of your messaging.
Leo, it's a time good time to review personal progress you’ve made this
year. What has been successful, what has not and what adjustments, if any, need
to be made after the retrograde to fortify and reinforce yourself. Review past
decision with an eye towards the future.
Aquarius, this
may be a time where some overlooked issue or matter will reassert itself,
calling for corrective measures or repairs. You may only be required to
acknowledge the matter, but as with all matters during a Retrograde, you’ll
need to address the matter in some indirect
way untill after August 18.
Scorpio and Taurus, this
retrograde may place you in very trying circumstance about who you are and
where you belong. The resolution lies inmay lie in rising to the challenge and
manage the concern until a likely breakthrough occurs after August 18
"Know thyself" and "Who are you” may prove
good mottos for this retrograde. As Mercury retrograde asks you question
about who you are, search inside your heart for the answers. Courage comes from the French word for heart and the upcoming Mercury
Retrograde in Leo will ask you to find yours.
