Hello Georgia. Is Mercury Retrograde over now? If so, when did it end? The past few days March 30 to even today but today seems a touch calmer, have been so crazy energy out there -- people everywhere, wild drivers, lineups, and on and on . Am I just imagining it? So, if starting something new ie. buying a home during merc retro then the possibility is such that there could be and will be complications?
Thanking you, A
Dear A -
You are so right. You can now go ahead with your plans for purchasing whatever... Mercury actually went direct on Sat. March 25. However, it is still moving slower than usual - and will resume its regular speed around the 6th of April. (I use these terms; but of course, in reality Mercury maintains its constant orbit - going forward around the Sun. However, in relation to planet Earth it "appears" to go backwards - or stay still or slow down or speed up.
When these 'appearances' happen - the events that Mercury rules on planet Earth likewise slow down or get bogged down. (Mercury rules all forms of communication and ground transportation as well as may dailies activities and most certainly newspapers, magazine and the postal services.)
Having said the above about Mercury - I must say that I do not believe that whatever Mercury does actually "affects" us. I think the Moon is the only thing up there that actually "affects" us because the Moon is close!! It has a gravitational pull on bodies of water and we are primarily liquid.
Astrology is just a patterning of knowledge - like chemistry or physics. (Admittedly a softer science.) Everything is interconnected and what happens in one place can be interpreted as phenomena somewhere else. In other words, the movement of the planets is a source of information for us - but they are not causal. (In my opinion.)
Now that your brow is furrowed - go have an espresso to jumpstart your day! Mercury is moving forward. Lulu's back in town!!
