DayKeeperJournal Mercury Retrograde & September Energy Shift

[omega minimo]

Interesting points:

"While Mercury is retrograde, many hidden aspects of the truth will be revealed, both in the healthcare reform process and in our own lives. It also opens the doorway to the cardinal pattern of the next three years."

"Cardinal pattern of the next three years..." :think: Anyone know what that is? :shrug:

"Fading from emphasis but still operating on background with considerable power is the stellium of Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune in Aquarius. As they have spread out from their tight inter-contact in late May, they have disseminated their healing energies into our lives. Now they move us toward closure in our lessons regarding group dynamics, political awareness, self-healing, and the power of hope."

"Now they move us toward closure in our lessons regarding group dynamics, political awareness, self-healing, and the power of hope."

Sounds like exactly what this period has been about for me. Anyone else?

INTRODUCTION
September brings a huge energy shift. Two events cast light in a new direction: the Mercury retrograde, with its first glimpse of what’s to come in the cardinal signs; and the third of five Saturn-Uranus oppositions bringing us to a critical turning point in our efforts to break up old fixed and self-destructive patterns that keep us stuck.

Mercury’s retrograde is a significant one. It begins its backward travel on September 3 in early Libra. As it does so, it participates in a T-square with Mars in Cancer and a stationary Pluto in Capricorn. This gives us a peek at what Saturn will bring with its square to Pluto when it enters Libra at the end of October. Even though Saturn returns to Virgo during its upcoming yearly cycle, it will make three contacts to Pluto and introduce us to new challenges and opportunities for growth. We will see a whole new aspect of the our lives, and new problems and possibilities will unfold. Over the next three years (through September 2012), we will solve these problems and build structures to support and maintain the opportunities.

Mercury will give us a preview over the last few days of August, when it makes its first contact to Mars and Pluto, and the first few days of September as it retrogrades and repeats the square to Pluto (sans a faster-moving Mars). When it crosses back into Virgo, it brings messages from Saturn-Uranus. These contacts increase our conscious understanding of what the problem is so that we can take the next steps in solving it.

Pluto adds emphasis to any situation it can be applied to, as it changes direction on the 11th. Pluto is the timer for the economic transformation we have been experiencing since January 08, when Pluto entered Capricorn. As it has in the past, it will lead to the fall, loss, or transformation of entities that have grown too large or lost their relevance. As Pluto changes direction, we will hear more news about how the economic recovery is doing as well as what regulatory changes are afoot. The Saturn-Uranus opposition will also play a role in what transpires. Situations that arose or became more complicated around April 4 will shift now.

<insert two paragraphs from top of OP>

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1
The month starts with the Moon in Aquarius, a trine to Mercury raising our awareness of how important our relationships are to us. This is further highlighted by an perspective-giving opposition to Venus.

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 2
The Aquarius Moon reaches its conjunction to the Aquarian triple conjunction over the afternoon and evening, starting with Jupiter. This renews our healing process and raises our hope for positive outcomes, as we are reminded by events of the power of good. The Moon enters its void of course period at 10:20 pm on the conjunction to Neptune, lending a mystical quality to our evening reverie and nighttime dreams.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3
After the Moon enters Pisces at 8:58 am, we can engage in productive action, and we will be inclined to do so as Mars catches up with our very slow Mercury to complete a busy, possibly anxiety-inducing square. The Moon alleviates a tendency to narrowness of vision with a sextile to Pluto and a trine to Mars to give us an over-arching perspective on the dilemmas we face.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 4
Today’s sole contact is the Full Moon’s Sun-Moon opposition, which occurs at 9:03 am, at 12°15' Pisces. This lunation features a nearly stationary Mercury and Pluto, still reverberating from their T-square with Mars on August 25-26—we’re still integrating a new plot twist that carries a taste of the future. Venus reaching toward its opposition to the Aquarian stellium (Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune) signals a healing process in relationships hearkening back to issues that arose in February and peaked in May.

1. Mercury and a job offer

I'm currently working a full-time temp position. On Tuesday, Sept.1, I was offered to become permanent. However, the rate was lower than I am currently making because I'll have benefits, but I can't really take a cut in pay or I won't be able to pay my bills.

Having initially declined the offer due to pay amount, the company tried to get my title changed, as they have a very rigid pay scale which is tied to position. I just received confirmation that they were able to change my job title so I'll get more money and I will be able to pay my bills.

This Mercury retrograde won't screw things up will it? Or have I already gone through the screwiness.

3. congrats.

seems to me like it got done just in time.

My new job starts on Sept.8 and I'm supposed to bring along paperwork and contracts. Hopefully that won't get screwed up by mercury retro. I don't think mercury's in any of the $$ houses for me. Yikes -- edited to take that back. I can't tell if mercury is retrograding in my 2nd house or not.

Does anybody know where in Libra mercury is? My 2nd house of finances, possession and earned income runs from 21 degree Virgo to 20 degrees Libra...gulp.

On the other hand, I just received my back paycheck from Subway today,so maybe mercury retrograde is going back in time and bringing overdue money in? In which case my stafford loans, which are 2 weeks overdue, maybe will arrive tomorrow? I hope?

2. Sept 3

I got up to a headline in the local paper about tin-foil hat wearing Fox watchers calling the schools scared that their children would be subjected to listening to the President's speech. What part of POTUS do these people not get? That's some exposure, those are the people we are up against, people so out there that they try to keep their kids from hearing the President. Nuts.

4. Gotta ask you.

How is Mercury retrograde going to affect the health care debate? Will Mercury be back where it belongs when Congress returns?
