Grandtrines

This week, speedy Mercury is brought to a theoretical halt at 17 degrees Leo. The planet of communication will spend the next three weeks on a retrograde cycle, taking place entirely in the sign of Leo, finally resuming direct motion on September 5th at 5 degrees Leo. The early stages of this retrograde period will be extremely noticeable because of how fast Mercury has been cruising along this summer. Creative projects could spin out, or communication regarding collaborations on the business or art level may be met with confusion. If you try to move along at the pace you were going, there may be a sudden wall in your path where there once was none. We all go through Mercury retrograde a couple times every year, so this energy is familiar enough. It requires us to slow down, take a few steps back and remain patient.

On Sunday, the Sun…

I was a bit hasty when I said on radio that I thought Mercury going retrograde was also a great time to re-think, re-calibrate and re-create yourself. I had maybe forgotten how tricky it is to work with technology as the retrograde appears.

This morning has been fraught with what seems like sticky buttons and poor mouse control? Is it me? I kinda hope it is, because we’ll be in retrograde for a little over a month all things considered.

Here are the details of Mercury’s transit this month:-

• Heading into Retrograde – July 24th, 2017 – August 11 2017
• Retrograde – August 12 to September 5, 2017 –  5th September 2017
• Heading out of Retrograde – 6th September – 19th September 2017

For those of you who know your chart, Mercury retrograde starts at 11 degrees Virgo and reverses back to 28 degrees Leo. Watch out if it’s your birthday…

Mercury Retrograde begins on Saturday, August 12th   until September 4th.  In addition to Mercury, 4 other Planets are also in Retrograde. They are Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. This combination of retrograde energy is going to slow life to a halt. Patience is definitely needed over the coming weeks.

What Do These Retrogrades Mean?
This Mercury retrograde allows you to get in touch with deeply buried resentments so that you can heal. Old friends may reenter your life to settle old karma and allow you to move on. Pay attention to the way you communicate with people

When Neptune goes retrograde. Our ability to see the truth is in question. Embrace situations that show your creative and business collaborators’ true colors, and resolve to accept what you see. Things that are hidden will be revealed.

Sun trine Saturn will occur on August 13th, 2017 at 21:06:21 UT (17:06:21 EDT). Sun will be staying in constellational Leo, sidereal Cancer and tropical Leo while Saturn in constellational Scorpius, sidereal Scorpio and tropical Sagittarius (see zoomable chart).

In the tropical context of the birth chart, Leo Sun trine Sagittarius Saturn indicates recognition and success, but – because of the ’saturnine contribution’ – those are often delayed till middle life. With this aspect in their radix charts, if natives come to a decision – which is generally somehow ’fiery’ and highly idealistic, thanks to the characteristics of the tropical Leo and Sagittarius signs – they will never swerve therefrom and ready for moving heaven and earth to finish the project on schedule. By this approach, we can evoke the mythologem of Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes, and his twelve difficult trials, that required huge power and persistence…

During Mercury retrograde you may feel the overwhelming need to address something from the past that you chose not to speak on for whatever reason.

One of the most talked about planets is Mercury, the planet that dominates all facets of communication. Mercury is going to go retrograde on August 12th at 9:00 PM EDT. You can’t escape Mercury on the news even in discussions with non-astrologers. Mercury rules two Sun signs, Gemini and Virgo. My clients send in more questions related to Mercury and consistently share examples with me about their retrograde experiences than any other planet.

I am sharing this article that I wrote 17 years ago to give you greater insight into the qualities and personality of Mercury. The Title is “AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MESSENGER” and I hope you enjoy what Mercury has to say as the Messenger of the Gods explains what makes him tick.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MESSENGER

Friday-Saturday
PASSIVE-NEUTRAL – Moon in Pisces, laboratory process of Projection – emotionally instinctive

Projection, is a process of throwing a ferment or tincture onto a substance in order to effect a transformation of the substance.

Possible Scenarios – based on what’s in-the-air, so to speak:

A good time to: lie back and think; it’s easier to outline all the possibilities and options without the usual cautions we’re commonly blocked by.

Challenges: feeling airy and fickle; nothing seems to come out of effort, energy is wasted on temperamental feelings.

Balance: organize thoughts; without categorizing or judging them find commonalities.

Keywords – to contemplate and get a feel for:
Feeling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sun in Cancer – persistent, tenacious
Instinctive (emotionally) . Moon in Pisces – changes, relaxative
Positive . . . . …
