Mercury turns retrograde three times a year for three weeks at a time. Regular readers know how much I love these times – not! Maybe it’s because I have a retrograde Mercury natally that I notably struggle with his retrograde periods, but I’m certainly not alone. Even my non astrologer friends who don’t read the blog frequently ask, “Is Mercury retrograde at the moment? Thought so!”
This is a much longer blog than usual, and I know we’re all busy and have shorter attention spans these days, but if your world is in any state of flux then read on. There’s not a lot going on in terms of stacks of aspects, but there’s a lot taking shape.
If your horoscope is a map for the road you’ve travelled and the road ahead then this Full Moon acts as your headlights on full beam. Some matters will be blazingly obvious. However, just because something is simple doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s easy.
Hands up anyone who’s got planets or angles at 19 degrees – of any sign? (Me!) As you’ll see from all the aspects listed this week no less than five planets are at this degree and it’s these five that make up this week’s activity.
The sign of the Twins is associated with all themes of duality and multiplicity, including multitasking and choices. This is a picture perfect environment for looking at our time management, for enjoying list ticking productivity but also for recognizing our limits. If, like me, you frequently experience moments of overwhelm the time is right to take control.
