” A wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard:
Why can’t we all be like that bird?” Edward Hersey Richards
“An adventure Gandolf says, is a ‘there and back again’ affair. A quest is a calling – never one’s own desire. No guarantees.” Ralph C. Westminister
Mercury stations retrograde on the 9th of November at 2:01 PM EST. The retrograde period will run through November 29 and will start in Sagittarius and end in Scorpi0.
Mercury will station conjunct Mars and widely opposing Uranus in an out-of sign alignment. Venus will also square Pluto at the time of the station. It is always a good idea to choose your words more carefully and double check the details during a retrograde period, but especially this month as there’s the tendency towards acting and speaking quickly and impulsively.
In general the retrograde period is a good time for reviewing your sense of adventure, your long term vision of your life and projects related to publishing and education.
It’s best to make sure all important information is secure and backed up as there could likely be more snafus with technology throughout the month. Mercury also rules travel and there can be disruptions in this area as well.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”An old owl perched up in a tree.”
