A Transit for Today and Today Only! ~ 9 Jul 2013

This is the most amazing Mercury retrograde day! Today, as it does once every Mercury retrograde, Mercury is aligned with the Sun and the Earth. This, in theory, moves mundane matters forward, smooths out hiccups in recent communications, permits apologetic withdrawal of strange tweets and allows getting Facebook and websites just right! Go for it. Fill out forms, petitions, ignored and essential paperwork and get it in the post! This is a today and today only effect. Okay, you might get lingering effect tomorrow. After that it’s all about Mercury retrograde until Mercury retrograde ends.


That noted, make sure your read all the post to take advantage of the Mercurially-crazy offer I have for you today!


Now that you’re back from doing all those mundane things, you can finish reading this SkyScraping post.


Looking down the road just a bit, there is that deservedly-touted grand trine tightening up and the Star of David forming with the Sun, Moon and classical planets. It’s a great time for optimism, progress, hope, creativity, manifestation, planning, envisioning. Of course, everyone is down with that, right?


Mars is just moving away from his opposition to the Galactic Center - a time in which buckets of ideas dropped out of the sky into receptive craniums. Now, intrepid sorts, take the next step in the journey: engaging with those ideas and integrating them into real life in as full a means possible as Mars works his way to an exact conjunction with Jupiter on the 21st. That’s right, there’s less than a fortnight remaining to apply the recent galactic inspirations and get the seeds of inspiration and imagination into the metaphorical ground. Are you ready?


For the next three days or so, Mars lingers in the waning degrees of the wonderfully duplicitous Gemini. Fact check data, reality check conclusions and most important, get some feedback to see how it’s going to play out there in the minds of others who do not share the same exact galactic inspiration you received. Have you translated your idea into bite size, thought provoking, non-off-putting concepts that others can wrap around? Mental mastication is key. Ideas extended need to be palatable, open-ended and open-minded, inspiring, upbeat and chock full of “oh wow” morsels.


As Mars and Jupiter tighten up in orb, they whisper back and forth about the goings on and what should be done. Since they’re whispering in the corner and there’s a lot of chatter in the room, here are some tidbits that drifted into the telescoping microphone ears of Mercury:


Be bold.

Do whatever you do with blazing confidence.

Take big steps with certain footing.

Invade the boundaries of convention with new ideas.

Push the limits but then briefly step back. Let the rubber band effect of reaction to radical ideas happen, realizing when encountering unfamiliar thinking often folks need to adjust emotionally.

When applying Galactic Center ideas, realize that one’s spiritual being as well as emotional body might require time to catch up. Or at least that’s what can be derived from the phrase “psycho-technological adjustment” as it drifted by.

Apply new thought with the intention of nurturing needs and fostering emotional support while blowing out the limits of non-evolving thoughts.

Remember: If you don’t do it, likely someone else will!


Those who apply the Mars-Jupiter conjunction will be more than a leg up on those waiting for the highly touted Star of David to come into play on the 24th-ish. And having a leg up is a great thing to do, especially when grounded and balanced as the thinking of this particular day in Mercury retrograde encourages you to establish.
