Mercury Retrograde

What does it mean and how does it impact you?

Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and decisions about our issues and adjust our new direction as we move through 2010. The adjustments of Mercury retrograde typically occur three times a year (but the first of the year began with a Mercury retrograde, giving 2010 four Mercury retrogrades) and become similar to a course correction during the flight from one destination to another. The adjustments that occur during Mercury retrograde typically have a theme that occurs all year long, shown by the elements of the signs affected. In 2010 the adjustments that are slated to occur during the retrogrades are in earth signs, with the Mercury retrograde in December beginning in an earth sign, Capricorn, and retrograding back into a fire sign, Sagittarius. Thus the earthy Mercury retrogrades bring us practical aspects of consideration and prompt us to make new decisions from the practical aspects. The Mercury retrograde in December will prompt a different purpose to the earth and fire signs being impacted. The December Mercury retrograde will take our ideas, decisions and attitudes about specific events and utilize the information to put ignite new ideas into place, emphasizing more of the fiery energy.

Mercury retrogrades have a cycle** in which the retrogrades have an exactness of covering the same signs, the same degrees and approximately on the same calendar days. This exactness is seldom thought about Mercury retrograde, with the seemingly chaotic and confusing situations we experience during the retrogrades. The exact Mercury retrogrades we will experience in 2009 were the exact same signs, same degrees and approximately the same calendar days of 1930. This cycle** is seldom talked about in the astrology world, but is the cause of major course corrections for humanity. We can look back at history of 1930 to see the impact of Mercury retrogrades covering the same time frames, the same signs and the same degrees. We are coming to an important time as was experienced in 1930. For instance, the President of the U.S. in 1930 was Herbert Hoover, who had a birthday of August 10th, and the U.S. President in 2009 is Barack Obama, born August 4th, both having Sun in Leo. Few people are old enough to recount the transition of that time, but it becomes history repeating itself to give us a chance to grow as humanity, as a society and to make a difference. The Planet of Mars follows this same cycle and the sequence of Mars retrogrades are similar as well. Mercury rules ideas and attitudes and Mars brings these ideas and attitudes into action. The phrase "thoughts become things" certainly brings home the combined energy of these two planetary connections.

The purpose of Mercury retrograde is to review and revise our life and our connection with reality. The timing of this universe is geared toward the Sun as it moves through the zodiac. Mercury has an orbit that at times gets ahead of the Sun allowing us to look into the future toward new and innovative ideas. However, we cannot continue in that vein until we come back to the present designated by the Sun and put our new ideas into manifestation. During the time that Mercury jumps ahead, we ultimately have to bring the ideas back into the present to test and evaluate to see how they fit into our life. As Mercury retrogrades back into the present, the connection with the Sun happens as we test drive our ideas and re-align with reality and the natural timing of the universe.

The Mercury retrogrades that occur in 2010 provide the opportunities for us to make adjustments in the practical aspects of our life from the information brought to us through the Mercury retrograde in earthy signs; Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo (occurring in that order). Decisions about our goals and aspirations will be the focus during the December d2010 retrograde, assisting the transitions of career through the changing goals that will be evolving at that time.. Because we are making decisions to bring forward the visionary awareness into our new journey, new endeavors, new goals, the events during the Mercury retrograde time frames help us to veer away from the past and take bold steps into our new future. These adjustments will be very necessary as they allow us to make major changes, emphasizing our bold and innovative choices.

Mercury Retrogrades for 2010

In 2010, Mercury retrogrades four times, as the Mercury retrograde that begins on December 26, 2009 will be occurring when we transition into 2010. Mercury turns direct on January 15th in Capricorn. We will be reviewing the Capricorn issues of contracts, pacts, treaties and agreements regarding the Capricorn industries and all of the processes in place within these environments. All of the Mercury retrogrades in 2010 are in earth signs, which means that we will be changing and adjusting our thinking and thought process regarding the earthy environments, such as Capricorn - business, Taurus - finances, Virgo - health. Because 2010 is universally a THREE year (in numerology), this Mercury retrograde process becomes important in the major adjustments as we move into our creativity, self expression and providing innovative resoursefulness. Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and communications about our direction. The adjustments that are slated to occur in 2010 are in earth signs, Capricorn (in January), Taurus (in May), and Virgo (in Sept). These same signs, same degrees were the Mercury retrogrades experienced in 1931, as the cycle of Mercury retrograde repeats with an incredible exactness, along with Mars, which activates the thoughts, ideas and communication process of the needed course corrections for humanity at these given times.

Because the planet of Mars has the same repeating cycle as the Mercury retrogrades, we have Mercury and Mars retrogrades that set the pace for the year of 2010. Mercury retrogrades in Capricorn and Mars retrogrades in Leo. This combination was also setting the pace of 1931**, which brings the same energies to repeat history or to move history into a time of growth and wisdom. These earth signs of the zodiac relates to our material world and the attitude we carry with us regarding Capricorn business, Taurus finances, and Virgo audits and health. With all earth signs, ruling thoughts, attitudes and communication, we are focused on being accountable, financially successful and providing solid business plans and goals. This energy will gain from the flow of activity from Mars moving through several signs, but with Leo setting the pace that requires visionary leadership be a pre-requisite for the year. Those who were not able to provide this visionary leadership in the ELEVEN year of 2009 will be replaced with those who are the visionary leaders for our new beginnings as we move through 2010.

The Mercury retrogrades that are occurring this year 2010, provide the opportunities for us to bring forward new and different ideas and talk with others that are also interested in pursuing these new directions. With 2010 being a THREE year in numerology, we can bet that the mercury retrograde in earth signs will have a huge impact on the FORM that comes from different ideas, different communication and a whole new innovative movement turning our world into a new and different direction. Inventions, innovative designs and major idea changes will come about to make major adjustments during this time. The changes, revisions and adjustments that occur during these Mercury retrograde time frames will have a major impact on the material world with technology and business environments presenting new strong, bold and innovative ideas.

Because Mercury itself rules how we think, we will be adjusting everything related to thoughts, concepts, ideas, and communication, especially how technology and material elements play a part in the physical manifestation of ideas. When Mercury retrogrades, we find that many parts of our life are being revised. Often these revisions can be a surprise or throw us back a step. However, these revisions which occur during a Mercury retrograde, are a "course correction" and provide a stop gap measure until we can review situations. During this time of revision, change is compounded and confusion is created by our reactions to the ever-changing situations. Thus anything started during this time will ultimately be taken back or even revised further, making for a high-frustration time. This will be especially true with changing our minds, reviewing new ideas and our communication being improved and honed so not to be mis-understood.

The best mode to be in during a Mercury retrograde is one of "non-reaction", and with earth signs being impacted, physical environment will be changing continually during a Mercury retrograde. Treat the time period as a time of gathering information, yet because the information will be in constant change it would be like trying to comb your hair in a wind storm. Best to wait until the changes stop before attempting to make things orderly. Therefore, just let the winds of situations blow around you without reacting. Once Mercury turns direct, take a look at the information that is still around at that time and go about putting everything in order, while maintaining the fine art of flexibility.

Mercury Retrogrades for 2011

In 2011, Mercury retrogrades three times, as the Mercury retrograde will have shifted situations about at the end of 2010, with Mercury turning direct on December 30, 2010. We will move into 2011 with transitions fresh in our minds, ready to begin the FOUR year of 2011. The first Mercury retrograde in 2011 will be in the fire sign of Aries, March 30th through April 23rd. This Mercury retrograde becomes important because of the fact that Jupiter and Uranus have transitioned into Aries as well, requiring that we make major transitions to set up our focus during this important phase. All of the Mercury retrogrades in 2011 are in fire signs, which emphasizes the energy, enthusiasm, innovation and spark we put into our activities. We are changing and adjusting our thinking and thought process regarding the activities that we are involved in and especially as the Aries energy sets the pace for the year, we will move our true self into the directions that are the appropriate reflection of the true self. Because 2011 is universally a FOUR year (in numerology), this Mercury retrograde process becomes important in the major adjustments as we move our efforts to organize, plan and launch our innovative resoursefulness into new directions. Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and communications about our direction. The adjustments that are slated to occur in 2011 are in fire signs, Aries (in March/April), Leo (in August), and Sagittarius (in November/December).

The first Mercury retrograde in 2012 will bring a close to situations that have been major events of challenge, transition and transformation. Uranus will connect with the Mercury retrograde events during March and April, emphasizing the spontaneous and sudden changes that will set the pace for 2012's major course corrections. Mars turns retrograde early in the year, emphasizing the Virgo aspects of accountability, which will activate the changes bringing a heightened level of activity and change into the month. In the July/August Mercury retrograde, the fiery energy of Leo activates the winds of change created by Uranus in fiery Aries. These two fiery signs give us events and circumstances that blast us into many new directions. With the changes created in this FIVE year, we will find that our life has dramatically changed and Mercury retrograde in Leo creates the dynamic emphasis of change that this year is destined to provide. The November Mercury retrograde gives our goals as aspirations a deeper perspective through Scorpio being activated during this process. The Scorpio aspect of inner depth as shown by our inner connection to the higher awareness, will revise our directions, goals and sense of purpose.

July 2010 Highights

The ONE* month of July (in numerology* terms) brings the Solar Eclipse to us as the pairing of events from the Lunar Eclipse on June 26th. The Cancer / Capricorn opposition that began on the June 26th Lunar Eclipse, shifts the situations into intensity mode. We are prompted to make important choices regarding our sense of security. The fact that July is a ONE month requires that we set a new focus with a new purpose, approach, and direction. The new emphasis needs to have a foundation of security that is built upon the strength of our inner essence. Uranus in Aries turns retrograde on July 5th, which sets up events being blown into our life that assist in making the needed change and transitions. The transitions occur as the doorway signs are now activated by this Solar Eclipse in Cancer. The doorway signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. As the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on the 11th opens new doors, we will find that the ONE* month of July gives us a new theme, new purpose and new terrain to traverse. NEW DOORS ARE NOW OPEN. On July 21st Saturn moves into Libra and with Uranus in Aries a new sense of accountability will be brought forward. The issues of Jupiter and Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Libra specifically bring scrutiny into personal responsibility and the ethics of personal choices, and personal actions. The sense of fairness, accountability and personal responsibility comes under great scrutiny. Many who have claimed immunity or have wanted to slough off their personal responsibility will begin to be the target of this Saturn/Uranus connection. Pluto in Capricorn is already placing a strong emphasis upon leadership and those who are in the positions of leadership and power. The mis-use and the lack of personal responsibility and ethics when making decisions will be called onto the carpet for major scrutiny. July 26th begins this process which launches a whole new auditing inspection process into place, which will last for the next several years.

THREE year of 2010

We have just moved into THREE year of 2010. The THREE energy will begin to set a new pace for the year. Our focus will change. A new perspective will be shown to us. Opportunities will be revealed to beckon our creative, expressive and innovative capabilities. The theme for 2010 will be to follow our heart as we feel pulled toward particular directions. The fact that Jupiter is moving through Pisces joining Uranus, new information about events from 2003 (when Uranus first entered Pisces) will begin to be revealed. Within this new information many new opportunities to move beyond the past will also be revealed. Situations for the first half of the year will point us into a new environment. The second half of the year will be set as Jupiter and Uranus both move into fiery Aries together and ignite new energies that create a different terrain with different opportunities. This terrain will take us through the end of the year.
