The first Mercury Retrograde
0f 2019 (29o 39") began on March 5, in the sign of Pisces. By
the time of this writing it we’ll be 7 days in. It is currently in the last
degree of Pisces and will remain in that sign for the remainder of the transit.
It will go direct in (16o 06") on
March 28, at 10:59AM EDT/ 7:59 AM PDT.
The planet Mercury,
in astrology, governs thought, communications, ideas, short term travel and
concepts. It represents the way we think, communicate and share our ideas. It embodies how we communicate our thinking.
Pisces,
in relation to the zodiac, is a mutable water sign that is both spiritual and
intuitive. It is seeks to unify the realms of the unconscious states and
spiritual concerns with consensus reality and daily living. At its best Pisces
is compassionate, selfless and intuitive. At its worst, Pisces is vacillating,
irresponsible and needy
This
particular retrograde has a strong learning curve. The Sextiles to Mercury and the Sun from Pluto
and Saturn will foster opportunities for reconsidering what you think and feel
about some important life questions. Jupiter, which is creating squares to
Mercury and the Sun, will present you with a variety of options and perspectives.
While squares are normally challenging aspects, Jupiter’s influence will make
them less demanding. As you contend with these aspects do so with a sense of
surveying and observing conditions. Because of the strong emotional energies of
Moon and Sun in Pisces and Neptune in its sign of Rulership (Pisces) this month
may present you will many intense emotions.
It is important to remember that any real changes should wait
until AFTER the transit is over on March
28th. Things that require adjustments at this time attend them, but where ever
possible, leave radical changes until after the transit end on the 28th.
About
this time I discuss the more theatrical elements of Mercury. Reversals in the course
of the planet that governs communication, thoughts and planning can alter your efforts,
postponing and delaying them. Retrogrades affect spoken communications, written
text, email messages, etc. Mercury also governs short range travel, so it might
throw you a few curves in terms of journeys and trips. At this time let your watchwords
patience and humor. Spend time in spiritual practices and creative endeavors
during this period. Any creative project such as music, visual art and theater
should prove helpful. Be mindful of beginning
new works.
Pisces, at this time, expect
important breakthroughs to occur, especially with regards to your personal plans.
Once the retrograde ends you’ll possess
a wide array of options that will help you make best the possible choice in
service to your plans.
Virgos, This retrograde is not about
what you doing, but about what have already done. It will ask you to look
back upon previous efforts, determining if they can help you in the future.
What have you already achieved?
Gemini and Sagittarius,
This retrograde may ask you to revisit some past matter and to determine its
importance to your future. You may have to confront a dilemma that cannot be easily
overlooked or ignored. Unraveling the knot that Mercury presents you with may
prove highly productive, even cathartic.
This
retrograde should help clear the path to a restorative and reinvigorating place
in your life. Connect with your visions and dreams to bring them to life.
