Mercury Retrograde
29 Sag
Dec 3
2:34am EST
Let’s get our head around
Mercury Retrograde.
On December 3
at 2:34am EST Mercury stations
retrograde at 29 degrees of Sagittarius.
Note that degree—29. There are only 30 degrees in a sign so this
is quite a statement for Mercury to stop and turn around at the final
degree. Imagine driving to your
destination and just as you are about a block away from the hotel you turn the
car around and go back to a point halfway through the journey. What would be the purpose of such a
move? Let’s assume we missed something
on the journey and need to go back and catch it again.
In this case with Mercury
retrograding in the sign Sagittarius we may be missing the importance of:
Enthusiasm or perhaps
misguided enthusiasm
Philosophy or perhaps
misguided philosophies
Judgments or misguided
judgments
Education or misguided
education
Humor or misguided humor
Optimism or misguided
optimism.
Traveling or misguided
traveling
Mercury in Sagittarius can be
some wild thinking. Imagine a bucking
horse, braying and snorting at first blush we might dismiss the wild horse as
being skittish but maybe there is something the horse knows that we are
missing?
Watch your thoughts for the
three weeks as Mercury travels back to 13 degrees of Sag. Watch what you read and what you hear. It is inspiring? Does it fire you up? Do you need the fire? Is it the truth? And if it is not the truth can you be smart
enough to know what is true?
Mercury will retrograde back until it reaches 13
degrees Sag on December 22 and then it will turn around one more time and head forward again going over all those degrees
for a third time.
With this particular Mercury
retrograde we should assume there is something about our thinking and
communication that needs a tune up or perhaps overhaul. Saturn has been in Sagittarius since 2014
and it leaves Sag on December 19th (the day after the Sag new moon)
and moves into Capricorn. It won’t
return to Sagittarius for 27 years so this lesson of Saturn in Sag has to last
us for a while. But remember when
Saturn moves into Capricorn Mercury will still be chugging backwards in
Sag. It is as if the Universe is saying,
“Hey, all those great lessons you learned for the last two years with
Saturn—let’s make sure your brain really understands the work by getting
Mercury to slow down and go back and rethink some Sag stuff one more time.”
We should also discuss that
the Sag new moon is at 26 degrees of Sagittarius, which is the Galactic Center
of the Milky Way. When Mercury turns
retro it’s happening right near the Galactic Center. And then after it goes direct it will hit
the Galactic Center again on January 8.
We will discuss more about the Galactic Center in the Sag New Moon
report but remember this dark black hole in the center of our galaxy is about
the same size as four million suns. It
is the source of our gravity. When planets touch the Galactic Center we can
assume there are forces at work that we may not see but are very powerful. Between Mercury retrograding near the
Galactic Center and Saturn spending most of November near it and the New Moon
launching on the middle of it---- We are being asked to pay attention to the
forces around us and inside of us pushing and pulling all especially through
this Mercury retrograde. And definitely
let’s assume nothing is random or coincidental, my friends.
Dates to note:
On November 14 Mercury crosses shadow point. (13 Sag)
On December 3 at 2:34am EST Mercury turns
retrograde (29 Sag)
On December 22 at 5:50pm EST it turns direct (13 Sag)
On January 10 Mercury crosses the shadow point
(29 Sag)
Yes, yes, yes—there is the
usual stuff that comes up with Mercury retrogrades, miscommunications, broken
technology schedule conflicts, lost stuff, appointment snafus, you know, double
check everything.
