DIY Mercury Returns
Warning: This is a bit of a technical post… My Mercury is having a birthday today. Just like our birthday, or the day when our Sun returns to its natal position, is a recharging of our vital energies, when Mercury…
Mercury in Pisces…
When I was first learning astrology, I was told – by someone who should know better – that because my Mercury was so “bad” (yes, the word was used) that I would have had trouble learning as a child, and…

February 20th, 2017: Fresh Focus
- Mercury in Aquarius inconjunct Vesta Rx in Cancer: 20 degrees
- Mercury in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries: 21 degrees
Mercury is supported by Uranus, Aquarius’ ruler. Words and thoughts have a sparkling edge. Detachment allows you to make some unusual leaps. The ease of the sextile means “unusual” is palatable. Nothing too disruptive.
The inconjunct to Vesta Rx is a small glitch. Mercury’s cool, fresh logic will clash with a sentimental area of devotion. The past needs to be adjusted to meet the future – stop clinging, start thinking. But don’t deny what you’re feeling (it’s valid). Just take one step back from what you’re focused on, and consider an alternative approach. Bring new life to what you’ve been nurturing.
Release Your Creativity | Solar Eclipse, Pisces New Moon, Mercury enters Pisces
We may find ourselves straying from intentions and goals this week, while lingering toward the unexpected distractions and discoveries from the Mercury/Uranus sextile on Monday February 20, and fruitful Mercury/Jupiter RX trine on Tuesday February 21. With awareness and mindfulness, we could find what we’re looking for with a grounding Mercury/Saturn sextile on Thursday February 23 – so […]

February 7th to February 10th, 2017: Stepping Out

- Sun in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries: 21 degrees
- Venus in Aries inconjunct the Virgo North Node: 3 degrees
- Mercury in Aquarius inconjunct the Virgo North Node: 3 degrees
- Mercury in Aquarius sextile Venus in Aries: 5 degrees
Uranus rules Aquarius, so there’s extra resonance in this Sun/Uranus aspect (exact on February 9th). Freedom is pronounced, but the ease of the sextile suggests it should feel natural to do your own thing, even if that means you’ll be standing slightly apart from everyone else. One step in a different direction will be all it takes to energize you. This is the easy confidence of self-expression, and leads into the February 10th Full Moon eclipse in Leo.
On February 9th, Mercury makes a tense inconjunct to the Mercury-ruled North Node, bringing new information that must be taken into consideration. The path forward needs a slight adjustment. This aspect is part of a larger configuration (a Yod) that covers February 7th to February 10th. Venus in Aries made an inconjunct to the North Node on February 7th, and will sextile Mercury on February 10th. Mercury/Venus is good news, or flirtatious/inspiring words, delivered with a bit of sass. Something sounds risky and intriguing. The inconjuncts mean the North Node is the focal point – find a way to integrate new intel into an existing plan or improvement. You still have to be practical, but practical could use a stimulant. Fresh info means more effective upgrades.
Communication Blackout
I haven’t been able to call out for almost a week now. I reach for my phone and realize it’s pointless. I have no service. I’m not sure what the problem is. I’m not even able to make a call … Read More…
