July 23: Mercury Direct. Yes this is happening.

 

Mercury

6/12: Mercury enters shadow (16 CA 19)
6/29: Mercury stations retrograde (26 CA 15)
7/23: Mercury stations direct (16 CA 19)
8/6: Mercury exits shadow (26 CA 15)

I gotta laugh about this Mercury retrograde.  Normally people are all twisted up when Mercury is retrograde.   But I wonder if Mercury stationing direct in the middle of all these outer planet aspects will even be noticed?    

I will assume for the sake of argument, yes, we will feel Mercury shaking free and moving forward again.   

During the retrograde, did any emotion come up that felt super old?  Something that might have emotional DNA to family or childhood?   Was some primitive part of your psyche pinged that made you think, “Wait, why is that coming up?”  How have you intellectualized some emotion or feeling and been able to get a new perspective?   What about the conversations you are had with others?   Was it more emotional than normal?   How about other people, did they come to you with their emotions?  

Did any memories awash you during this cycle?   

And how did you navigate family in the middle of all those emotions, memories, and conversations?

Some of the themes that first appeared when Mercury entered its shadow on June 12 may return one last time before Mercury exits the shadow on August 6. If they do, pay attention. They may simply be asking for one final conversation, one last decision, or one more chance to see something differently.

As Mercury turns direct, take care of your mental health. Find whatever feels cozy for your heart, especially if a recent kerfuffle bruised it. Bruises heal.

Sometimes they even teach us something before they heal.
