Mercury difficulties came early this year with a challenging square from the planet Saturn, the ruler of challenges, delays and disappointments. Saturn creates blocks and forces us to find a pathway around obstacles – it inspires determination and strength to overcome endurance, but also supreme frustration. This Mercury/Saturn square was embedded in the chart for […]
The post Mercury turns retrograde today, May 18 2015 appeared first on Astrodynamics: Astrology by Lynn Hayes.
Mercury stations retrograde at 01:49 (UT) on the 19th May 2015 at 13°08′ Gemini. I’ve been feeling the effects since Mercury entered the shadow zone. In fact, around an hour after Mercury shadowed, my wifi connection somehow switched itself off…
The little god of prestidigitation is standing perfectly still. For a moment in time, he looks both ways: into the future and into the past. Then he starts to go backwards. Think of how odd it looks in a movie when the broken glass and water on the floor magically swooshes up and reforms. The film is running backwards. Mercury in Gemini 30 April – July 8 Mercury Rx 18 May – June 11 Mercury shadow 1 May – 27 June During a Mercury Rx, that glass might reform as a balloon or a jet engine: things won’t just go […]

Just to let horoscope subscribers know, I’m having serious technical issues. (I’m writing this via a “proxy server”: how Merc Rx is that?!) Briefly, your horoscopes are written and ready to go — but I can’t access the site well enough to give them a final polish. This problem may be dealt with in the next 24 hours, but there may be a delay. I want all of you to take note though that Venus, the planet of grace, meets with Neptune, the planet of divine grace, on February 1-2. This is in Pisces, where the love goddess exalts. The […]
The post Mercury Retrograde Technospiral & A Weekend Message appeared first on The Oxford Astrologer.
“I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart, and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.” Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters To A Young Poet tr HD Herter Norton […]
The post Mercury Retrograde: Live The Question appeared first on The Oxford Astrologer.
A statue of the Celtic sea god Manannan Mac Lir was stolen from an Irish mountaintop on January 21, the day Mercury, the planet of thieves, went retrograde. Although Manannan is the “son of the sea” and a deity of storms, but he has more in common with Mercury than Neptune. Manannan is a trickster (sometimes appearing dressed as a clown), a musician (he plays a harp) and he moves with ease between this world and the other world, just like his Greco-Roman counterpart. If we understand myth, then we know that Manannan has simply slipped over for a short visit to the other world. That’s […]
