Mercury Retrograde
May 6th/7th - 30th, '09
|
 Greetings!
I hope you have taken advantage of the window of opportunity that has been available since April 17th and will be until Mercury goes retrograde late Wed night - early Thurs morning. You still have a little time left to close deals, sign contracts, make major purchases, and initiate new projects before Mercury stops to retrograde, so take those actions today if possible!
Pluto (power/control) is squaring Venus (money/relationships/creativity) for the third and last time leading up to the retrograde and therefore you may encounter drama, manipulation or power struggles. If you do, there is always a message in these situations, so I urge you to look for the deeper meaning - what is no longer working and what do you need to let go of?
Everything that you encounter during Mercury Retrograde is an opportunity to retrace your steps so that you can refine or revise what is not in flow. Although you may be frustrated by obstacles that you encounter, you can create a valuable experience for yourself by slowing down voluntarily and following the energetic cues that you receive. Remember, the world is your mirror. What is being mirrored back to you?
Our American culture doesn't generally build in space for sustained reflection and that's the opportunity that Mercury Retrograde offers you. Please utilize this time for your highest good!

With love and light,

Mercury Retrograde
May 6th @ 10:01 pm PDT / May 7th @ 1:01 am EDT
until May 30th, 2009
Mercury, planet of communication, information and eduction is about to go retrograde from late Wed, May 6th PDT and early Thurs May 7th EDT until May 30th 2009, going back over the events or the story beginning around April 23rd. What was happening then? Think about what you created (consciously and unconsciously) because you'll be spending the rest of May retracing those steps and making adjustments.
During Mercury Retrograde all forms of communication are susceptible to disruption and information that is transmitted in any way (by fax, computer, phone, Blackberry, iPhone, FedEx, Facebook, email newsletters, Twitter, verbally) will be at the mercy of Mercury Retrograde. This can manifest as lost information, miscommunication misunderstandings, contracts that don't stick, lost or delayed mail, equipment malfunctions, and snafus in general.
"A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn." ~ Anonymous
The guidance to prepare for Mercury retrograde is to back up your info, make copies of important documents, sign contacts, send important emails, finalize instructions and if you have planned to begin anything new, take an action before the retrograde goes into effect. And please don't make any major purchases during Mercury Retrograde (especially electronic equipment or appliances), as it's common for something to be wrong with either the item or the transaction. Also, Mercury rules ground transportation so be sure your vehicle is in good working order and double-check travel plans and directions.
Please understand that Mercury Retrograde is not merely an inconvenience in your usual way of operating in daily life. There are astrological energies, Mercury Retrograde being one of them, that are meant to shift your attention away from pursuing new frontiers in the external world to bring you within to focus on contemplating, clearing, planning, rectifying, amending, completing and slowing down long enough to get clear about your intentions - where you're going, what you're doing and how you want to direct your energy.
"Dreams are not made to put us to sleep, but to awaken us." ~ Goemans
During Mercury Retrograde the guidance is to do all the "re" activities - review, revise, redo, revisit, reorganize and work on projects already in process. This is the time to complete anything you've left undone and a good time to look for lost or misplaced information or objects, as things often turn up during Mercury retrograde. This is a wonderful energy for reviewing your goals, acknowledging your accomplishments and for meditation, reflection and introspection. What are your dreams and your visions for your life?
"A dreamer, you know, is a mind that looks over the edges of things." ~ Mary O'Hara
If you need to make amends, offer an apology or reconnect with a loved one, friend, acquaintence, or yourself - this is a good time to make those moves. To go from separation to connection, from discord to harmony, from wounding to healing is an uplifting, expansive experience and such a gift!
"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free." ~ Catherine Ponder
Another fabulous use of this retrograde energy is to get your financial house in order. Review your budget if you have one and if you don't, make one so that you are aware of where your money is coming from and going. Make conscious decisions about how you want to live - do you need to downsize and release material items that are no longer useful in your life? This is a perfect time to lighten your load and release!
"Money - like health, love, happiness, and all forms of success that you want to create for yourself - is the result of living purposefully. It is not a goal unto itself." ~ Unknown
When Mercury Retrograde arrives, use the energy to clear whatever is no longer useful in your life - whether it's physical clutter, old habits or outdated ideas that no longer serve you. Mercury Retrograde can be a blessing imposed by the Universe when you have to slow down, check in with yourself, reprioritize your life and get quiet - so you can get clarity and then go with the flow. Don't fight it and try to swim upstream - rather, focus on being in the flow.
"The only difference between stumbling blocks and steppingstones is the way in which we use them." ~ Unknown
As the pace slows down, you can use this time to practice flexibility and patience (emphasis on practice). If you find yourself becoming frustrated or overwhelmed, stop, take a breath and remind yourself that all is in Divine Order.
"When the traffic lights are red in New Delhi, they display the word "relax." Every time you come to a red light, instead of sitting grinding your teeth, try seeing it as an opportunity for practice. Connect with the in-going and out-going of the breath. Be one with the breathing." ~ Tenzin Palmo
