Tomorrow, 21 April, Mercury retrograde in orb, but short of conjunction to Uranus in Taurus. Oh crap, Mercury wixing mords again!? I realize heaps of folks in astrology put life on hold with this effect that happens at least three times a year, but... Big but. Your cell phone provider does not shutter operations. Buses, trains and airplanes still get humans where they need to go. In the film biz, a writer constantly pitches during Mercury retrograde and actively fields communications if they do not want to be left behind. Opportunity knocks as it does regardless of ones entry security system.
The point of knowing Mercury is retrograde is to function within care in communication, attention to detail, and propitiating all the while, realizing that what you express will be heard as it is. Every Mercury retrograde, they conjunct the Sun and that conjunction makes a prime time for lucid thinking, impeccable communication and sealing deals. A Sun-Mercury transit demands savoring!
During the forthcoming Mercury retrograde, the profound midpoint of the retrograde conjunction occurs on 1 May. The Sun and Mercury aligned in Taurus warrant an examination of all personal attributes and life contributions, such that when asking others for participation, inclusion or funding, the request can be issued with confidence of ones wares.
Closer to the present, Jupiter conjoins Eris in Aries on 23 April. For those not wanting to be left behind, this aspect represents an enormous opportunity for inclusion. The aspect affords healing any sensations of being shut out and clearly overrides Mercury retrograde’s presumed restrictions. The transit applies the “going to reverse the order of the heavens for only one day here as to recreate conscious perspective and consequential thinking” rule.
The transit sequence set into motion by Mercury receives support as the Sun aligns with Uranus on 9 May. The Sun, undisputedly, because of size, gravity, energy and proximity, creates the most powerful transit of all our solar system participants. It only lasts a few days, though. The Sun sheds light and warmth, evidently with the intention to cozy up to unique innovations and applications without to urge to dismiss those as weird, or way too eccentric. In fact, the Sun insists that every idea or opportunity arriving be considered fully without reservation and with an extra look at merit and value applied. Nothing is off the table. All things are possible, and the Sun intends to warm response to it all.
Mercury resumes prograde (direct) motion on 15 May, virtually a day before Jupiter enters Taurus. As Jupiter enters Taurus he joins the north lunar node, Mercury, Vesta, Uranus, the Sun and Sedna in the domain. This resource-rich era requires an all-senses-actively-applied approach to life. The array of degrees occupied in Taurus aspects most of everything else in our solar system. It’s fecund. It’s juicy. It’s like when you can smell your favorite food in the oven reaching perfect internal temperature, nearing consumption. In that imagery align yourself with your soul’s natural heat and prepare for the good stuff life brings to savor.
On 4 June Mercury and Uranus in Taurus occupy the same degree. This marks the completion of what starts tomorrow. Express every idea you possess without predisposing the listener into believing it’s harebrained, tangential, too far out or undoable. Simply state the stretch of your consciousness and apply real world things and circumstances as examples and metaphors. The range of your ideas could exceed known dimensions. If so, give time for others to catch up and wrap around. A check-in about a half lunar cycle down the road could do the trick.
Uranus is known as the higher octave of Mercury. Both are known as having unique relationships with genitalia, thus should be assigned to any nonbinary, gender identity, sexual preference discernment. Both planets gracefully claim the pronouns they and them. Per the Jupiter and Eris inclusion aspect occurring, the time is one primed for push back on any and all bias. Since Jupiter is involved, perhaps inquire as to the rationale of those opposing your agendas no matter the spectrum. Hear it, then return the rationale declaration favor. The groundwork is laid for understanding between previously disagreeing individuals and factions.
This spring in the United States the news has been marveling over this year’s super bloom of wild flowers given the winter endured. No matter the hemisphere one walks, this transiting Taurean sequence promises greener, bloom-filled pastures ahead. This era marks a time of positive and productive potential advancement. Those knowing what they bring to the table can place all those options on the table, thus enhancing far-reaching possibilities. Savor the blooms without trampling the flowers. The gears of progress are organically greased.
More soon.
