A Bit on #Mercury (Currently in #Capricorn soon into #Aquarius)

#Mercury in #Aquarius

Some astrologers believe that Mercury is exalted in Aquarius rather than in Virgo. Others account for the affinity between planet and sign by calling Uranus a higher octave of Mercury. In any event, the sign of invention encourages the operations of the planet of intellect. Aquarian electricity provides a basis for Mercurial communications, and makes possible the worldwide connections which are serving to usher in the Aquarian Age of brotherhood and scientific enlightenment.

People conditioned by this Uranus-ruled sign are not only versatile but can put their thoughts to work in practical ways. Saturn, as co-ruler of Aquarius, disciplines the mind and prepares it to hold up under the galvanic impact of Uranus. Saturn also stiffens the spine so that these individuals pay scant heed to what others may think of them. Critics may regard them as abrupt, eccentric, or rebellious. Yet they follow their own convictions and, by resisting pressure to conform to conventional opinions, often succeed in unexpected ways.

Personal #MercuryRx #Mercury #Retrograde Experience

Yes Mercury in Retrograde can have the effect of a blown electrical circuit.. often analogized in the from of communications even on the biological nature of the typical, communications breakdowns in transportation, on a human level of such things as the metaphorical “Lost Letters” or bad interpersonal expression, machines on the electrical level such as power supplies, connection of batteries, and such similar matters. Case in point, was having computer problems the night before this posting with the new hard drive.  I was also hearing pops of static at a moderate pace at time of the disruptions. came from a bad connection on one of my power connectors.. found it secured it and not a problem after that. Again, just a personal example. 🙂

Mercury Retrograde and the Uranus-Pluto-Sun T-square

Lac-Mégantic Derailment

This past weekend has been a very ..interesting one.. as in the Chinese curse ” May you live in interesting times” .  here in the Us we have had 2 major transportation incidents, the Asiana Flight 214 accident and the  Lac-Mégantic Derailment ( image above) , and the aircrash in   Soldotna ,Alaska that killed ten.

10 reported dead in Soldotna plane crash

Whenever we have such catastrophic events, we astrologers go onto “High Alert” looking for the astrological indicators, such as the actions of retrograde planets, of ‘ill aspects’ and placements at the time and place of the incidents, in the hopes we will see these tragedies in advance ( not that the powers that be will heed us any mind).
