Mercury Retrograde: Pause for Recalibration

Mercury Retrograde: Pause for Recalibration

That notorious time of Mercury Retrograde is upon us once again, for the third and last instance of 2014. Today, Saturday, Mercury stations to retrograde motion in Scorpio, and will swing back through Libra come the 10th, to complete its retrograde motion three weeks later, by Saturday, October 25th. It is said that Mercury will not fully straighten out until it escapes its retrograde shadow on November 10th. The Mercury Retrograde period has gotten a bad rap owing to the various communication breakdowns, technological malfunctioning, and other glitchy situations that seem to arise with greater frequency during this time. Yet this is also a prime time for internal reflection, re-organizing, and generally taking a pause to recaLibrate before moving forward again. This particular retrograde period begins in the depths of Scorpio, where perhaps you will get a glimpse of some deeper, transformative currents of your inner landscape that are coming to the fore for your considered examination. Mercury interacts with numinous and misty Neptune as it stations, in the sign of Pisces, while Chiron, the Wounded Healer, hovers nearby in aspect to Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. It is more than possible that, as you reflect on deeper areas within yourself, you could gain unexpected insight into your own internal trauma and how you might better accept yourself in these wounded places and begin to move beyond them.

Mercury will take another week to escape these depths, re-entering Libra on the 10th, where considerations of relationship, balance and clarity are therefore heightened. In this mid-month timing you might wish to ask yourself where in your life you?ve fallen out of balance, or what relationships need extra tending and timely TLC. Or perhaps this introspective period could present you with the opportunity to look within your own being, with all its flaws and glories, in order to ponder how you show up in relationship. Are there aspects of how you relate to others that are not serving you that could require adjustment' Over the course of this Mercury Retrograde period, you win when you focus your attention not on what is going wrong, but rather on how you might adjust your perspective and approach for greater growth in awareness and balance within yourself.


With the massive changes that are happening now, I highly recommend that folks get a transit report tailored specifically to their chart for the most accurate description of what's in store for you in the months ahead.
