Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn 2016

At 10.57pm this evening Mercury goes Retrograde! Cue dramatic memes and negative posts! This is a BIG one… but not just because of travel delays, communication problems etc etc… All the usual manifestations of Merc Rx… ALLOW EXTRA TIME, be vigilant, double check everything before you sign it and have patience.

The deeper and more potentially disturbing manifestation of this ‘astrological weather’ is the conjunction Mercury makes with Pluto as it stations at 15 degrees Capricorn, the apex of a t-square.

Mercury Retrograde is always the time to go over old ground, re-consider, re-think, re-hash… with this aspect to Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries.  This is the time to reveal some big secrets.  Thoughts that have been buried.  It’s a time to release the oppression from those who seemed to hold power over us.

CHRISTMAS!  Ace time for this to kick off.  I would say that a fair few secrets will be coming out this Festive Season.  The TRUTH WILL OUT!

The pain other people brought into our lives becomes our power when we confront it.  Mercury is going to head back towards Sagittarius where it will meet with the Sun and Moon on the 29th of December.  That is a VERY interesting new moon, but I’ll save that for another post.

Deep breath, this is a time to confront and release.  People are often dealing with more than they show us.  So when people snap at you this week… understand that it is probably not about you.  People carry around huge burdens in their minds and in their subconscious (they become less powerful when we take them out of our  minds and bring them into the light of day.)  So tell people what's on your mind.  This is a great time to start therapy,  The perfect time to talk about some of the things that have weighed you down over the years... the things that aren't going away, no matter how much you try to bury them.

Whilst you bury your thoughts, they remain, they FESTER.  You've got to burn them away!  They have to come to the light, otherwise it is your thoughts that hold the power over you.  Thoughts are things!  They are energetic and magnetic and you don't want them to remain unchecked.  This is the time to talk, tell people what is bothering you.  This is the darkest and most introverted time of year (contrary to popular opinion.)  You're not tired just because you're hungover!  We are supposed to be still and quiet.  Get inside yourself and bring some focus, light and attention into your heart, it's time to communicate the problems that are refusing to budge.

Tread gently.  Speak kindly.  Go out of your way to SOOTHE.  EASIER said than done but it’s even more important at the minute!

There is more to everything than meets the eye.

The more you love, the higher you rise! LET GO. LET GO.
