This year Mercury Retrograde periods have cycled between air and earth signs. Mercury Retrograde in Virgo ends on October 2nd at 5:07 am ET and the next couple of weeks are Mercury's path to where the retrograde began. Air is mental and Earth is physical, and this cycle may have been about getting out of the dominant mind and thought patterns and back to physical reality, away from the world of ideas and ideals and toward tangible manifestation of what we can do, touch, build, and produce. Coming back to the how to and the foundation, we can then grow, progress and have something to support our future plans. Mercury relates to information, communication and the integration, perception and interpretation of words, messages, and discussions. During the retrograde, if something has been miscommunicated or misinterpreted, this new cycle os for sorting out and creating clear understanding.
Sunday ~ Mercury Direct will sit in Virgo, stationed, and this canmean a pause, a breath between this and that, time to regroup. The Moon is in Capricorn, so earth sign energy dominates the day, and the Moon squares Jupiter, Venus and the Sun (1 in Aries, 2 in Libra) which means all cardinal sign action. Progress will require effort and compromise. Selfish or self centeredness may be confronted as a block to progress. Venus asks that we work together harmoniously. Seek balance, fairness, and equal or shared workload. Wear Black.
Monday ~ Capricorn Moon with mostly harmonious aspects. Some things that need structure and a bit of guidance or wise authority could fall together suddenly. Believe in miracles or at least in yourself. Do what you can and allow for something much needed to appear out of the blue. Void Moon starts 11:49 pm ET. Blue is today's color.
(Moon trine Uranus & Mercury, sextile Neptune and conjunct Pluto)
Tuesday ~ The Moon shifts to visionary Aquarius at 6:20 am ET. Jupiter and Venus are in harmony with the Moon for growth, learning, collaborating, and overall good feelings between us. Avoid overthinking and approach problems or tasks with original ideas and approaches. Today's color is Pink.
Wednesday ~ Aquarius Moon mixes it up with a variety of aspects. From easy to stubborn, natural flow to persevering and assertive, any of this makes sense under the astrological conditions. Look for long term agreements and plans as the Moon meets Saturn, indicating obligations to be fulfilled. Engage in healthy, non judgmental brainstorming as the Moon aligns with Mars in Gemini. Take an idea to the action stage, but without any big rush to complete. Experiment and stay open minded. Void Moon 6:46 pm ET for a social evening. Wear Turquoise.
Thursday ~ Pisces Moon time begins at 8:47 am ET. This looks like a thoughtful, inward reflecting, and feeling centered day. Mercury aligns with Pluto and we may consider revisions and feel a change of heart based on individual emotions and truths. If you've been pushing yourself to do or be something you are not, today the realization may come. This is how we center after Mercury retrograde. Give yourself permission to change your course or your mind, and plan for how best to communicate this to others. Wear Blue.
Friday ~ Pisces Moon aligns with Uranus in Taurus and squares Mars in Gemini. Sudden change will feel confusing or uprooting. Take your time with everything today, be patient with feelings, and give others time to adjust to any sort of news or change. The Moon is approaching full, and emotions may run high as the tides often do during the Full Moon. Check in with each other and offer comfort and assurance more than advice or directives. Shortly after midnight, the Moon and Neptune meet for deep dreaming. Today's color is Green.
Saturday ~ Pisces Moon opposes Mercury direct in Virgo and forms a harmonious sextile to Pluto, still retrograde. I note this because Pluto is about to be direct, at 5:56 pm ET. Pluto has been retrograde in Capricorn and I feel the change will be very subtle since Pluto is the outer planet. Yet the outer planet rules inner truths and processes. Connect with intuitions. There's a meditative aspect that may be helpful today. As the Moon becomes Full, often associated with achievement and manifesting, also be aware of UN-doing, and being more ready for fresh starts. Void Moon 7:10 am ET to 11:57 am ET, and then Aries Moon meets Jupiter at 3:37 pm with an urge for what's new, untried, and feels spacious and progressive. Wear Red today.
Full Moon in Aries 4:55 pm ET, and there's a Floating or Mat based Full Moon Yoga Nidra at 5:30 pm Reserve space at www.leapingwatersyoga.com
Leaping Waters is at 146 Ocean St South Portland
Float in an aerial hammock or rest on the mat for this guided meditation to clear your mind and energy during Full Moon. If you can't attend on Sunday, join me on Wednesday at 7 pm Oct 12th. It's all on the schedule!
Peace, friends
Robin
