We are finally in the shadow of Mercury Retrograde which lasts until September 9th and was in full force from August 2nd until 26th. It was a time that severely affected water element characteristics, such as communication, speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formalising contracts, documents, travel, the mail, shipping, and so forth. Hence we closed our blog down at the onset and as you can see; have only now returned. (Any resemblance to our regular summer sabbatical is purely coincidental!)
The positive side to Mercury Retrograde is best used for re-organizing and reflecting. It is a time of heightened inner awareness, where we can discover some very important inner revelations, especially by reviewing past work or performance.
If you visit Google today, you will also be reminded of another memorable Mercury performance, as it is Freddy Mercury’s 65th anniversary today. The search engine has commissioned a special video that celebrates the life of this awesome communicator, performer and Water person.
Again coincidentally, a Water Pig day denotes the end of a cycle, as it is the last of the sexagesimal or 60 pillar cycle. Consequently, the Chinese almanac suggests pampering and preparation, a good day to retire early, treat yourself or even refurbish your home, especially by repairing walls or paths.
It is much better tomorrow – a Wood Rat day, until then enjoy NOW!
