Mercury joins the Sagittarius Sun today, our regular sign that we are halfway through Mercury Retrograde. While Mercury Retrograde is not a time to put our lives on hold, it is a time to slow down and to be deliberate in our thoughts and choices.
One of the features of this recent Mercury Retrograde is Mercury square Saturn, which takes place over the course of four weeks. There are three squares in total, three checkpoints of sorts and an accountability check on how we think, communicate, listen, learn, and choose.
Mercury is the planet of the mind. It often moves fast around the heavens, much like our own minds. The retrograde gives us an opportunity to slow down and to be more deliberate. Of course, things can get a little screwy during this period. But hopefully we can have a little patience, grace, and foresight.
Mercury turns direct on December 15 at 6 degrees Sagittarius, the same day as the Gemini Full Moon. If we are waiting for news or weighing a serious choice, we may have to look to the time around the full moon to hear or to be able to clearly choose.
