Thoughts on this Mercury Retrograde

“Perhaps synchronicities, like dreams and symptoms, are happening all the time and we simply don’t notice them until they reach a certain level of explicitness… Maybe they have to shout and wave flags, splash their perfume around, put on sequins and dance a hootchy- kootchy. In the Age of Information a lot competes for out attention.” Greg Levoy

The chart for Mercury’s station last Wednesday holds some very good aspects for synchronicity with Uranus sextile the Moon and Mercury.The aspects suggest that in addition to the wisdom available during this retrograde period – through rethinking and recharging – there can also be somewhat magical moments that occur quite unexpectedly. A component of this is good timing – but probably not the timing that you had planned.

It bodes well to be aware that The Trickster is about and that he may be pointing the way in surprising ways.

New Moon in Aquarius and Mercury Retrograde

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” Buckminster Fuller

Tuesday’s New Moon (8:14 am EST) is at 0 degrees of Aquarius. This is the last New Moon in a series that occur on the day the Sun changes signs- this time into Aquarius. Be innovative about your life’s direction now and look for open doors. It is best to set intentions which come from a place of evolving inner wholeness.
Mercury stations retrograde on Wed the 21st at 17 degrees of Aquarius. I was listening to a lecture by the astrologer Rick Levine who mentioned that the three largest internet outages in history all occurred on a day when Mercury was stationing. So not that it is necessarily going to happen this time but do make sure important info is backed up pronto. Mercury will station direct Feb 12.
