Astrology And Mercury Retrograde - Just One more Of Quite a few Feasible Afflictions

By William Hardy


Mercury is retrograde Might 26th to June 19th, 2008 within the sign of Gemini. Mercury retrograde, which happens several times each year, is probably the most talked about astrological events, specifically by astrology hobbyists and novices.



Although Mercury doesn't very do a 180 and backtrack during a retrograde, Mercury looks to reverse direction for much less than a month. The illusion of Mercury retrograde is due to the orbit of Earth in connection to Mercury's orbit. After retrograde, it goes "direct," as soon as it appears to turn back around and go in the proper direction, continuing to progress from your astrological signs (e.g., Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc.).

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all retrograde as well. At least one of these planets are retrograding at any given time and also the additional the world in the Sun, the longer it retrogrades (e.g., Neptune for over 155 days).

Astrologically, all planets and the Sun and Moon can also be classified as masculine or feminine, nocturnal or diurnal, or challenging or rewarding. But Mercury is an oddity because it is also either in each case depending on which planet it accompanies, which makes it the hermaphrodite of the solar system.

Depending on Mercury's condition and to which heavenly system or bodies it is connected, it really is related towards the following: communication, conversation, thievery, deception, mercurial disposition, messages, information, intellectual pursuits, and education.

Mercury retrograde is notoriously recognized for this kind of issues as communication screw-ups and misunderstandings, pc as well as other technology glitches, travel delays, scheduling conflicts, machinery break-downs, and difficulties with new project launches.

Mercury retrograde does not make these kinds of points happen, it's just symbolic of these things. As above, so below.

Mercury retrogrades are identified to become great times to go additional deeply into existing projects, re-examine already discovered prospects, re-do things, and finish items already in motion. It is a time to slow down a bit and be far more cautious.

Although Mercury retrograde (or any retrograde for that matter) is an affliction, it's only 1 of quite a few possible indicators.

In our view, too a lot emphasis is placed on Mercury retrograde and it's usually blamed for circumstances as soon as it shouldn't be, in which a dozen or more other astrological or numerological considerations are far more closely related for the situation.

Also, your natal astrological indications may possibly suggest that you simply have an easier time with Mercury retrogrades than average. For instance, if Mercury is not a major player inside your natal charts, it's a smaller amount of the concern for you.

How Mercury retrograde symbolically affects you also depends on wherever inside your natal charts the contemporary transiting Mercury retrograde falls. If it falls inside a weak residence for example, and is unrelated towards matter at hand, it could be even far more of the non-issue for you.

Here's our view on Mercury Retrograde timing according to our observations since the 1980s: as much as 17-28 days before Mercury goes retrograde can also be "worse" (communication issues, etc.) than the real retrograde period. Also, the second half on the real Mercury retrograde period typically runs additional smoothly than the first half.
