Fasten Your Seat Belts: Mercury in Retrograde

It’s going to be a bumpy ride….

Starting tomorrow until mid-March….

From AstrologyZone.com:

 

At several points throughout the year most of us will be bombarded with the maddening effects of Mercury in retrograde. Mercury is a planet which governs all transportation and communication issues. Mercury is not an emotional planet, but rather a highly objective, truth-seeking one. It rules intelligence, education and truth. When it is in retrograde, some of its power is held back.

When Mercury starts turning in an apparent backward motion, we will start to feel the effects of this event days or even as far as two weeks earlier. When the planet normalizes we will see the tempo of events pick up in our lives as the planet becomes “stationary” and then speeds forward.

Gemini and Virgo are signs ruled by Mercury, so if you are one of those born during those months, you will be complaining especially loudly. If you work in the industries ruled by this planet such as sales, writing, public relations, advertising, publishing, air freight, the post office or express mail, any transportation industry, from the airlines to Amtrak, you’ll also be especially vulnerable to this planet’s weird motions in September. (If you are a Gemini, for example, who works in publishing, it’s no use calling in for a month of mental health days–you can’t escape!)

What happens when Mercury retrogrades? You miss appointments, your computer equipment crashes, checks get lost, you find the car you just purchased during Mercury retrograde is a lemon. (Or, you hate your haircut, the lamp you bought shorts out, your sister hates her birthday gift.) There will be countless delays, cancellations and postponements–but know these will benefit you in the long run. Don’t fight them, although your frustration level and feeling of restlessness will be hard to cope with at times.

Happy Birthday, Loreena McKennitt

Love, love, love this woman’s music….

She sings me to sleep almost every night on my iPod…

She’s 55 today and I hope she performs and records new music for many, many more years….

Happy Summer Solstice!

The Summer Solstice is coming up on Tuesday, June 21.  I received a link to this amazing video from Celestial Elf in the UK a few weeks ago and promised to share it closer to the Solstice.

It features the words and narration of King Arthur Pendragon, the reigning Druid King of Great Britain, about the Solstice Celebration at Stonehenge.

We were lucky enough to be at Stonehenge on New Years Day a few years ago and it was amazing…

I can only imagine it at the Solstice…
