Through transformation of the recent Scorpion Full Moon, we’ve become unleashed and unlimited with Mars in Gemini. In this new breath for life, we’ve entered a fresh sense of freedom. And through all of the hustle and bustle, we still haven’t quite found (or settled) into what we were looking for. All this time, space and opportunity – yet seemingly, we dont seem […]

12 Questions To Ask With Mercury Rx in Gemini
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 […]

Mercury Retrograde Technospiral & A Weekend Message
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.

Mercury Retrograde: Live The Question
“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 […]

Astrology of Now: The Disappearance of Manannan Mac Lir
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 […]

Mercury Retrograde: Clearing Out The Attic
On the first day of the Mercury Retrograde, February 6, I found myself deep in my attic, surrounded by piles of junk: old bedsteads, mysterious boxes, a couple of boogie boards, a broken dollhouse even. I’ve been meaning to clear out the attic since la…

Mercury the ‘Communication Expert’ stations retrograde on Thursday afternoon. What this basically means, is that for the next three weeks, Mercury will ‘appear’ to be moving backwards.
