Mercury re-enters Sagittarius today at 5:40p PST, bringing blunt but kind-hearted honesty back into the mix through to the end of 2012. It came into Sagittarius for a short time back in November, then went retrograde back into Scorpio. Now it’s back in direct motion to see its run through for 2012.
What’s great about Mercury in Sagittarius is that it holds no punches. Not to say that it intends to injure, but the truth can sometimes hurt and Sagittarius’ number one commitment is to making sure the truth gets spoken. Sometimes when you don’t want the truth to come out or if you’re not prepared for the truth to be revealed, it can be a bit painful or shocking when it comes to Light. But remember – Sag usually doesn’t mean to cause pain. It just wants to be honest.
This is not to say that Sagittarius can’t have a bit of a mean streak to them. It can, especially when it feels truth has been held back from it for no good reason. Then it can use the truth it discovers to “stick it” to the offending person. Withholding truth is never really a good idea when dealing with Sagittarius, and especially when both Mercury and the Sun are traveling through the sign.
Then again, there is no other sign that can be as forgiving when it comes to withheld truths. When you can explain why you didn’t cough up the truth from the get-go, Sagittarius will usually understand…even if they’re a bit upset that you didn’t or wouldn’t confide it in them in the first place. If there’s anything to know for sure, Sagittarius is open-minded and expansive enough to hear or see the real reasons behind anything. Sagittarius can always handle the truth.
And for the record, don’t feel too badly about not telling them in the first place. Unless there’s a lot of Scorpio in an individual’s chart or Scorpio is on their ascendant, there’s no reason to think they’d keep your truth a secret anyway. Sagittarius can be known for speaking the truth, even when it’s not theirs to share. If anything, that is one thing you definitely want to be aware of during this Mercury in Sagittarius period – your truth (especially some of your deepest secrets) may come out beyond your control.
Sagittarius won’t necessarily reveal your truth on purpose. It usually won’t even be meant to hurt you. It’s just that Sag will always believe that the truth is the best policy, sometimes even when it’s not their truth to tell…though they will often speak it with casual and earnest innocence in the most positive way. They don’t mean to spill your secrets or share your business with everyone. It’s just that they really didn’t think it was THAT big of a deal, even if it is a big deal to you. That said, you may want to let them know up front that it’s not something you want everyone to know…or you may consider getting up to the podium before them.
Today also happens to be a Universal 9 day numerologically. 9 is completion energy, and a good day to bring things to an end. With Mercury moving into Sagittarius on this 9 day natalizing this energy for its 2012 cycle, if there’s a truth you’ve been hiding or denying, now may be a good time to stop the hiding and to start shining. Put that long-hidden truth out there. Then you can move forward with your life and all the new things you are thinking about being and doing on a foundation of honesty and integrity.
All of that being said, with Mercury in Sagittarius, now’s the time to stop hiding and speak your truth. Speak it loud, and speak it proud. Put it out there for no other reason that it’s the truth of who you are and you’re probably tired of hiding it anyway! Each and all of us is being called upon to be 100% who we truly are in and for this world – don’t go hiding on us now! We need “The True You”!
And most important, you need “The True You”, too.
Thank you for reading and sharing. Until next post…
~Light, Love, and Blessings,
Grace
