MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT Mercury stations direct at 08°00’ Virgo (antiscion 22° Aries) only a few hours after the New Moon in Virgo and opposite the Saturn SR station at 07°12’ Pisces last June. This opposition could bring back a certain narrowmindedness as we concentrate ourselves on the small details (Mercury in Virgo) perhaps to contrast the fear of losing oneself in the vastness (Saturn in Pisces), it’s certainly a good time to talk things over with someone whose opinion you respect (the opposition aspect, trying to find a compromise). Just to recap what might have occurred [...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT Let’s move forward continuing to discern the useful from the useless… After a period of retrograde motion which started in the Air sign of Libra and ends in the Earth sign of Virgo, Mercury stops in his tracks at 24°11’ Virgo (antiscion 5°49’ Aries) before picking up speed and moving forward. Mercury will be stationing in an applying trine to Pluto (which also goes direct on the 8th of October at 26°07’ Capricorn) and in a separating opposition to retrograde Neptune at 23°36’ Pisces, Neptune R and Pluto R are in a sextile aspect to each other.[...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT Slow and steady in the sign of the bull On the 3rd of June Mercury will station direct at 26°06’ Taurus (antiscion 3°54’ Leo) after a 20-day retrograde period. Mercury has two types of retrograde cycles. The first type is when Mercury moves fairly quickly and backtracks around 14 degrees, during the second type the planet moves much more slowly in his retrograde movement covering only 9 degrees. The second type is considered the most problematic since the planet is renowned for its Mercurial (speedy) traits and dragging its feet whilst proceeding backwards [...]
