Mercury Retrograde 7th November 2012


Hi everyone! 
 
 
Are you hanging out for the New Moon in Scorpio, just ahead of us????
 
 
 
What’s been happening:
We’re in the throes of tying off loose ends arising from the Full Moon in Taurus, which called us into a state of completion, of culmination of something we’ve been working on since last New Moon in Libra. With the Libran and Taurus energy involved, it’s all been heart energy and relationships/partnerships on the human level and in relation to Mother Earth and to ourselves. 
 
 
Since the Full Moon and storm Sandy: It seems like we’ve been experiencing some strange energies since the Full Moon and Storm Sandy! During this time, we’ve had much clearing on the collective unconscious around fear, death, insecurity around physical wellbeing. We would all have been feeling the impact of the superstorm, wherever we live. There’s been a huge emotional clearing. Also, you may well have had trouble with sleeping, either disturbed sleep patterns, and/or waking up tired. Dreaming may have been extensive as we release unconscious memories and emotions through sleep. Dreams may have been disturbing as fears/shadows are brought into the light.
 
 
Fears of the western world: You may be questioning why you didn’t feel ‘hit’ by these water energies as much when they were impacting on Asia. Apart from exposure to more mass media coverage, if we are part of what’s regarded as ‘western’ culture, the western world, then we are more likely to experience the storm as ‘close to home’ with all the attendant reactions arising in the western culture.
 
 
Many long void moons calling us to stillness: We’ve also been experiencing an unusually large number of long ‘void moon’ periods. I won’t go into explanations about void moons here. However, void moon periods are periods of time which call us into stillness, and often make it difficult to get much done on the physical dimension. We just want to be still.
 
 
 
I don’t know if you’ve been experiencing the fuzzy head syndrome which makes you stop and switch off the mind and tap into the unconscious. It's all around.
 
 
7th November: Mercury retrogrades in Sagittarius at 10.04 am AEST at 4 degrees Sagittarius...
 
Keep calm, breathe, check everything
 
 
 
 
 
About 3 weeks of review, slow down, delay, misinformation, confusion. We’re already in retrograde shadow so the slowdown is with us. Mercury rules communication, travel and commerce. Any and all of these areas may be affected. The most significant time when we can be impacted is when Mercury stations retrograde and again when Mercury prepares to go direct. Ideally, keep clear of these days for important journeys, communications, making agreements.
 
There’s much speculation amongst astrologers as to how Mercury stationing retrograde will affect the American election. It’s anybody’s guess as to what kind of delays, confusion, miscommunication, misinformation could play out. We can only hope for the best.
 
Just a few areas that may be affected: Employ risk management procedures with respect to the following -
 
Travel: check all travel arrangements, car, fuel, maps, roads/traffic jams,timetables, variations to normal routines, also for air, train, boat travel.
 
Communication utilities: technology, phones, mobiles, batteries charged. Sometimes technology plays up then comes good for no apparent reason.
 
Personal communication/arrangements: Be clear with what you say AND don’t say. Double check all meeting arrangements/appointments, where and when.
 
 
 
Emotionally:   
If life gets mixed up, keep calm and don’t panic!
 
Life goes on! 
 
Nothing is moving fast...patience is needed.
 
 
Remember Mercury rules the mind, so this period of time is a perfect opportunity to throw off, release, reconsider, review, reflect. Switch off the mind and allow yourself to receive the insights from the universe. Rework old projects rather than launching something new.
 
The past week we’ve been experiencing the retrograde shadow along with the dreamy lightheaded energy of Neptune/Chiron in watery Pisces being opened up by the Scorpio Sun, also a water sign. You may have been feeling ‘off the planet’ and unfocussed. Mercury retrograde may add to this energy.
 
Mercury is still in fiery Sagittarius until 14th November so tempers could get hot and bothered. The more awareness and risk management you employ with Mercury retrograde, the less problems you are likely to experience and if you do experience breakdowns, delays, queues, at least you can just say to yourself ‘Ah...Mercury retrograde’! It does help.
 
After 14th November, Mercury moves back into Scorpio, stirring us up
emotionally with the energies of the New Moon eclipse on that day. It will eventually move direct on 27th November.
 
 
 
11th November: Neptune turns direct 6.53 pm AEST at O degrees Pisces...
 
               off we go in full sail!
 
 
 
 
 
For about five months we’ve been all at sea, immersed in and at times overwhelmed by the universal emotions on earth!
 
 
We’ve been reviewing, and reassessing the bigger picture of hopes and dreams...our spiritual hopes and dreams! Layers of emotional baggage from the unconscious have been falling away as we cleansed and purified, distilling the essence of our spirit discovering where we end and the collective unconscious begins. So much of our work these past months has been about ‘boundaries’ on all levels, spiritual, emotional, mental and physical.
 
As we worked with the spiritual boundaries of memories/connections with the
past, past lives/other realities...forgiving, loving, releasing, cutting ties etc. hopefully you found that the other layers dissolved and resolved.
 
 
After the 11th, probably 14th: Spiritually, we’re on the move again..despite Mercury retrograde. Mind you, we’re in a yacht – not a speed boat! We’re learning the ropes with our new craft! And isn’t she a little beauty! Keep working with ‘the pictures’ and dreams of your life.
 
 
Intensification of the completion process: You may still be working with these issues, especially up to the New Moon in Scorpio. However, you are now likely to find that the ‘work’ you’ve been doing will manifest as changed circumstances. Even as I write this to you(5th November), I am feeling the intensification of this completion process as we come up to this turning point of Neptune, only 3 days before the big energy of the New Moon Scorpio eclipse!
 
 
 
It’s Scorpio time, in case you’ve forgotten: Intensity rules with death, destruction, letting go, renewing, revitalising! 
 
We’re under the Scorpio Sun until 21st November. Everything must go...that HAS to go! Expect an ongoing cleansing this next week as a lead up to the New Moon in Scorpio on 14th. This will be a big energy as we have a total solar eclipse which means CHANGE in our physical worlds. These changes will roll in anywhere from 14th, a week later, 21st, a month later in December up to the next 6 months!
 
 
Dark of the Moon – the 3 days before the New Moon:   
 
 - a big clearing/cleansing time...make the most of it!

 
 
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
14th November: New Moon in Scorpio solar eclipse
14th November: Mercury moves into Scorpio until 11th December
15th November: Chiron goes direct in Pisces
17th November: Mars moves into Capricorn until 26th December
 
 
That’s it folks until the New Moon. Keep clearing and let the old ‘stuff’ out!
 
 
 
 
As always, love and blessings, clearing and dreaming
 
 
helenbea
 
from the chair, going with the flow!
 
 
 
 
 
It’s all about love
