1st May 2015 Mercury moves into Gemini. 19th May Mercury turns retrograde

 

Hi everyone, gumnut babies!

Well it’s been quite a time since that Aries New Moon on 19th April!
 
How many of you have been knocked over, flattened or knocked sideways by the recent extreme weather and sudden earth changes?
 
At these times we huddle together with ourselves and loved ones.
 

Extreme weather and earth changes:
With the concentration of planetary energies in Aries and Taurus we’ve been having quite a few extreme weather events around the world along with some major earth changes.  I refer in particular to the volcanic eruption in Chile and the earthquake in Nepal.
 
This past week or two we have had an escalation of earth changes and extreme weather events around the globe, so if you’ve been feeling the earth move beneath you and within you, then be assured you’re moving with those earth energies.
 
We don’t all feel these changes in the same way at the same time or across the board for everyone.  Our response depends on a variety of factors, planetary energies, natal chart and I also tend to believe we experience events in other parts of the world according to our own ‘earth history’, ancestral/past life memories.
 
Flattened by the earth changes, weather events?
I don't know about many others but I do know a black cloud of exhaustion came over along with this earthquake in Nepal. Absolutely laid out and barely able to keep my eyes open.  This had come on the heels of some dramatic storms and flooding on the east coast of Australia.  I know this has happened across the world at different times but when it is close to us, of course we’re more likely to be impacted.  
 As I live west of Sydney on the Blue Mountains, I was not as affected as others.  However I know we’ve all had a share of these extreme weather events in our local areas, cities and nations.  Whether the extreme snow in USA, Europe and the UK or the floods, winds and rains across continents which do not usually experience such extremes. 

This week in Nepal, the earth moved!   
From Sydney Morning Herald this week:
"A massive block of Earth's crust, roughly 75 miles long (120km) and 37 miles (60km) wide, lurched 10 feet (3m) to the south Saturday over the course of 30 seconds. Riding atop this block of the planet was the capital of Nepal – Kathmandu – and millions of Nepalese."
That's the description of Saturday's earthquake from University of Colorado geologist Roger Bilham, a world-renowned expert on Himalayan earthquakes. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake that flattened historic buildings in Kathmandu and has taken more than a thousand lives is the latest release of built-up strain from the collision of two of Earth's tectonic plates.http://www.smh.com.au/…/kathmandu-shifts-three-metres-in-30…

Thoughts, prayers and light to all affected by the quake, volcanoes, extreme weather events, war, poverty, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual challenge.

We are all earth dwellers:  
  When Mother Earth rolls over, we all roll  over!
Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus and encapsulates the heart of Mother Earth, her core being.  At the moment, we’re all working with and within Mother Earth, whether we know it or not, believe it or not. We are inextricably woven into the tapestry of her body. 
 
 
 
 
1st May:    
Mercury moves into Gemini at 11.59 am AEST
...we have lift off! 
until 8th July
Mercury the messenger, the quicksilver energy is home! 
Mercury is the ruler of Gemini so he’s come home for an extended stay with a retrograde journey of 3 weeks in the middle of this stretch.
 
Mental as anything:  
The mind is flying to the heights!
Let’s trust there’s not too much hot air and cluttered dialogue.  The plus of this energy is a clearing of the mind and a million and one ideas and possibilities.
 
Open your mind and let the ideas fly:
The challenge with this energy is floating ideas and finding difficulty grounding them in physical reality.  Nevertheless, this is the energy here and now, letting us have our head!  Go with it!
 
Open to receive the undiscovered gems:    Ideas, solutions, new vistas!
Amongst the multitude of ideas and possibilities, the grab bag of magical choices, we’re likely to find some undiscovered gems which have been hidden away.
 
Curious Mind:  
How much can you learn and discover in the next 2 months?
There is no stone unturned with Gemini curiosity.  Gemini is the sign of curiosity and with Mercury here, we’re excited by new prospects and new solutions to old problems.  Let the winds of change blow into the mind and clear the old cluttered thinking that’s had us bogged down in the marshland.
 
Communication is centre stage:  
How many people can I connect with in 2 months?  
Variety is the spice of life! 
Mercury likes speed and movement and in Gemini, is the ultimate networker, business negotiator and communicator.  Just remember to take it slowly for the sake of any who are having trouble keeping up with you. Gemini energy urges us to learn about ourselves and our world by connecting and communicating with others.  It’s like an information gathering exercise, data collection, research which will help us find ourselves and our place in the world.  Make the most of this time to gather, connect and float the ideas.
 
 
 
 
Socialising with like minded others:    Creative minds coming together!
This is likely to bring spontaneity and a celebratory feel as we bounce ideas off trusted people in our world.  Trusted?  That means those who are your personal cheer squad, your supporters, those who are on the same wavelength and spiritually aligned with you.

Lines are now open.  Make the most of this time!


 
Be a butterfly:    Twosomes are good!  
Friends, partners, family!  Dualities are reconciled if we allow!
Gemini is symbolised by the butterfly flitting from flower to flower gathering the pollen, delivering the pollen, fertilising the plants of the earth.  Follow the butterfly process this next month or two.  That doesn’t mean we won’t get anything done.  It’s more likely to bring back some joy, excitement and stimulation into our lives.  Just go with it.
 
 
Business and commercial enterprises benefit: 
If establishing, starting new ventures or projects, best to get moving on them before Mercury retrogrades on 19th May.  Ironically, 19th May is a New Moon in Taurus which is great for establishing enterprises in physical reality.  Put in the groundwork in now and ironing out the creases will work well during the Mercury retrograde period. 
 
 
19th May:    Mercury retrograde in Gemini 
at 13 degrees 09 Gemini
Uh oh! Lift off delayed????
until 12th June

19th May to 12th June:    Mercury retrograde in Gemini
Just a heads up that we’re heading towards a Mercury retrograde period of 3 weeks starting 19th May. We’re coming into what’s called ‘shadow retrograde’ energy in the next few days, so the slow down and pull back is happening.
 
Are we coming or going?  or both?  
Difficult to know when Mercury’s retrograde!
It might feel like all systems are go and then delays come in and hold us back from attaining goals or implementing plans. Patience and awareness is everything with Mercury retrograde periods.  Any apparent glitches must be viewed as necessary halts in our progress as NEW INFORMATION IS COMING IN!
 
Mercury retrograde:  Risk management!  
Refining the energies!
One of the greatest benefits of Mercury retrograde periods is the backwards and forwards with our thinking.  Our implementation of plans works like a cross checking of all the possibilities. 
 
Access to the ‘higher self’:  The inner journey calls! 
We just need to listen!
Retrograde Mercury often brings in new possibilities and better and improved ways of proceeding.  The inner journey gives us access to greater truth and consciousness.
 
Timing is everything:   
"If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right” – ‘The Gambler’
Mercury retrograde periods demand our attention to timing, ‘divine’ timing.  That means maintaining awareness of what doors are opening, what avenues are closing, what events are holding us back, delaying us.  It’s always for good reason when we are delayed from proceeding, usually because something ‘better’ as in more suitable, aligned with us is just ahead.  Patience and awareness is everything!
 
I’ll be putting in a reminder with more details with the New Moon in Taurus update for 19th May.

Golden Oldies:
‘The Gambler’ Kenny Rogers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXRq4L4BcbQ  Timing and intuition for Mercury in Gemini & retrograde
 
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
 
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
4th May:    Full Moon in Scorpio
 
8th May:      Venus moves into Cancer
12th May:    Mars moves into Gemini
 
19th May:    New Moon in Taurus
19th May:    Mercury retrograde in Gemini
21st May:    Sun moves into Gemini
 
 
That’s it folks!  Just a short one this time as we have the Full Moon in Scorpio coming up next week on 4th May.   Working on that update now.
 
Take good of yourselves during the turbulence of the earth shifts and do whatever it takes to bring yourself, bodies, minds, hearts and spirits through the loop.
 
As always, love and blessings to us all as we travel the high road to greater fulfilment, light and love in our lives!

My good intentions of posting more regularly seem to have been once again delayed as I need to attend to the body first.  The intention remains firm and trust after these challenges of the past week or two, I'll get back on track.
