Ahhh! Yes, we can all breathe now. Mercury has gone back into direct motion as of 2:48p PST earlier today. The latest round of Mercury Retrograde is now over. Your thoughts, ideas, and information should now be clearly revealed and communicated, and the technologies we use to communicate them should now be fully operational. The files you haven’t been able to find will probably turn up, and those online accounts you’ve been trying to get the password reset for will finally let you in.
That said, Mercury is now direct in the sign of Scorpio, so it’s not all exactly happy-go-lucky from here. Remember, Scorpio is all-or-nothing. It deals in extremes. With Mercury under its influence, be prepared for complete silence or all-out verbalization in a major way when it comes to the communication and exchange of thoughts and ideas. This really is a time of extremes.
As you know from my earlier post, Venus entered Scorpio last week. Along with Venus, Saturn is still in Scorpio as well (until 2014), and the North Node continues to guide our collective course in Scorpio as well. This is a time of profound destruction and collapse, necessary in order to clear the way for new beginnings and rebirths of what has laid dormant until their time has come.
Their time is now.
With Mercury now direct again in the sign of Scorpio, we can begin to distinguish what we are feeling about these transformative changes occurring in our lives. Whether we actually communicate what we are now distinguishing to others is another story.
It’s more than likely that we’ll begin sharing on our own accord once Mercury moves back into Sagittarius on December 10th. However, if provoked, what we’re really thinking or feeling (or what we believe we need to say in order to protect our emotional vulnerability) will come out in a rather intense way while Mercury is still in Scorpio.
And that is a very important detail to note – protecting one’s emotional vulnerability is an absolute essential of Scorpio energy. With all of the profound changes happening right now, it’s a pretty sure bet that there is plenty of emotional vulnerability exposed right now almost desperate to be protected or defended. In lieu of protection or defense is the likelihood of outright ‘combat’ to defend what it has known as its emotional reality.
This is most definitely a time of “change or die”. Almost everything and everyone is feeling this pressure right now. The question is – are you allowing the changes to happen, or are you resisting them?
If you find yourself deeply frustrated, upset, or even angry on a regular basis lately, it’s a good indicator that you are resisting the changes that are happening. Things are much easier when you allow the changes to happen, but even then – in this second 2012 Scorpio Mercury cycle, allowing the changes won’t necessarily be a much easier option. The changes we are undergoing are significant for each and all of us. Things aren’t going to look the same after this.
That is the prevailing call of this 2012 Mercury in Scorpio redux. As this is the second time this year that Mercury has been in the sign (due to the retrograde), we are being given a second chance to accept and allow these big changes that are happening in our lives. The changes are going to happen whether we want them or like them or not.
But remember – this is happening during Sun in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a positive energy, growth and expansion-minded energy. The changes that are happening will be for the better in the long run, even if it may not feel or seem that way right now.
So, be kind to yourself. Don’t fight so hard – changes will always happen, no matter what. Try allowing one or two of these big changes happen, and see where they direct you. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Thank you for reading and sharing. Until next post…
