Sun conjuncted Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius on Sunday, December 4th. Mercury squared Mars in Virgo the same day. It’s made for quite the dynamic this week as Mercury represents mental energy and communication, meaning whatever is on your mind has been apt to come out of your mouth.
However, Mercury is retrograde until the 14th – it’s influence is turned inward, causing you to be self-reflective or to go within. So with the conjunction, whatever has been coming out of your mouth is saying more about you than it is about whomever or whatever you think you are speaking about. And with Sagittarius being the sign of influence over the Sun and Mercury right now, chances are there has been a whole lot of truth being revealed…even if you’ve thought you’ve been hiding it.
With the square, the Sag Mercury Retrograde has been triggered and challenged by Mars in practical and efficient Virgo. The actions you’ve been taking in your everyday life to have your life work ‘properly’ and the results of those actions are likely strongly affecting your mindset and your manner of communication. If what you are saying and what you are doing have not been in alignment, it has definitely brought (and may continue bringing) chaos and havoc to aspects of your life. Remember that actions always speak louder than words, so look back on the week to see where you have been and continue to practice what you preach.
If you are in the practice of saying one thing while doing another, you can be sure that if the truth hasn’t already come out, it will come out now, or at least sooner than later. This is why it is crucial that you take on the old saying, “honesty is the best policy”. When in doubt over which option to take, it’s best to be up front and straight-forward with letting others know what you really think and how you really feel. Your actions will betray you if you are not thinking or speaking what is true for you.
And therein lies the challenge of this Mercury Retrograde period. It is a time to face where we haven’t been being honest with ourselves in our lives. Mars inspires actions to move our everyday lives forward, and the Sun reveals where our actions and our thoughts and words do and do not match up.
I hope you’ve made the most of this week that has you facing your fears and revealing the truth of your innermost thoughts and feelings. I also hope you look back on the week so far to see where your real truth has already revealed itself. And keep in mind it all comes to a head at the end of the week when the Full Moon in Gemini arrives on Saturday morning.
Until next post…
~ Light, Love and Blessings,
Grace
