Mercury in Aquarius
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, the "Light" that gives life to our solar system. It is also the fastest in its' orbit around the Sun, with the exception of the Moon, which counts as the other "Light" and has it's own relationship to the Sun as the Earths' satellite. We know Mercury moves quickly, spreading news and seeking answers in order to get plans in motion. But we just experienced a Mercury retrograde cycle from January 14th to February 3rd, which set up a few roadblocks.
Yesterday, Feb. 14th, Mercury left the rocky terrain of Capricorn for the higher vibrational energy of airy Aquarius. It's still a cold winter here in New England and conversations take on the clear, unemotional tone of the season. However, so much can be accomplished now as Mercury moves through the first 10 degrees of Aquarius, where it already traveled in January before turning retrograde. That makes this the third pass through those ten degrees. Where do you have 0-10°s of Aquarius in your birth chart? This is where new associations and avenues of discussion can open up in your life!
Think of it this way, we started something exciting or made new connections the first two weeks in January, then when Mercury went retrograde, our plans stalled, technology fizzled out, and we had to reassess or redo our plans. Now, we get to use the insights we have gained since January 3rd to start the ball rolling again with our group associations, friends or in our technological interactions. Mercury stays in Aquarius until March 10th when it enters the mutable water sign Pisces.
Over the next month, focus on your agreements, marketing, sales and writing projects and reach out and connect with those who have similar interests or can help you with their technological skills. Also, pay attention to your friendships and any organizations or associations you have that may need some of your feedback, or vice-versa!
And as you've heard me say before... remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground!
