dip into the unconscious, the mysterious transformation which occurs deep in the psyche and the often unexpected outcome, are all part of the natural two steps forward, one step back cycle of retrogression. Mercury is also the god of accidental
happenings. The trickster has all the hallmarks of the shadow that stands between our true self and our persona or mask. If our ego expression through outer behaviour does not ring true, or denies expression of the true self, then often the shadow externalises itself through an event or circumstance which forces us to come to terms with our more primitive, undeveloped side. Hence the car accidents, computer crashes, misunderstandings and challenging insights that occur when Mercury is retrograde. During the recent Mercury retrograde
transit I experienced extensive problems with my website. My electronic newsletter took five days to send, no one could sign up for my mailing list for two weeks, meaning I missed out on new subscribers, and the website went down completely for a whole day. Customers wrote and complained. Knowing that Mercury was up to his tricks, I didn’t get mad (well I did a bit). Instead, I phoned my webmaster. He told me the problem was due to a third party letting him down as a result of overwork. We discussed the issue, decided to meet for lunch and talked about switching the back end of my site to a different company with
more employees, thus guaranteeing around- the-clock support. The ‘awareness’ of the problem came with Mercury retrograde, the ‘action’ to solve the problem was taken when Mercury went direct. Think of the thrice-yearly Mercury
retrograde transit as a three-week opportunity to get your life back on track and regain integrity. Pay particular attention to gut feelings, hunches and pieces of information that randomly come your way. Avoid starting new projects, but focus on completing or revising existing ones. Spend time day dreaming and meditating and see what comes up. If things go haywire, ask yourself: “What am I trying to learn?” “What is the hidden message behind this event?” The August Mercury retrograde transit was
in the earth and fire elements (Virgo and Leo). The November-December transit will be in the fire element (Sagittarius). These are the areas of life that will most benefit from introspection and examination. Fire – how can my inspiration and
dreams create the future? ❥ The ability to see the past, present and future of possibilities.
❥ Often a lack of apparent direction designed to break up old patterns or expectations.
❥ Lots of haphazard attempts to start something new, as worry about the future brings pressure and forces growth
and undeveloped potential to flow from the unconscious.
❥ Need to play and be irresponsible and live without conscious purpose.
❥ Learning to respond with spontaneous energy and be more creative with your decisions for change.
❥ Awareness of sedentary habits may provoke a fitness urge. Psychosomatic illness is common in the area of the psyche that is cramped or underactive
❥ Artists’ block common. Need for a change in technique or style. Earth – what are the tangible results of
my life? ❥ Finding fault with our surroundings and ourselves – body, home, job, country.
❥ Examining what can be done and being objective when making changes.
❥ Looking at all facets of self-worth including money, self-esteem, working conditions, health, etc. Becoming aware of the deepest values of those resources.
❥ Completing unfinished business to liberate spontaneity.
KEY ASTROLOGICAL EVENTS – SEPTEMBER
Mercury heads back into ruling sign Virgo on the 9th signalling the completion of the retrograde cycle that began in early August. Although Mercury turned direct in late August it is not until 10th September that the planet reaches the point where
it first stationed before starting to move backwards. In practical terms this means that the insights and information that have surfaced over the past month can be integrated into everyday experience in a conscious manner. Mercury will be in Virgo from the 9th-26th when the planet moves into air sign Libra. September is therefore a good time for any of the following activities: editing, writing, revising, filing, organising, planning, gardening, manual work, spring cleaning and any activities designed to improve your diet, health or wellbeing. The September full moon falls
on the 12th in sensitive water sign Pisces, bringing more information to consciousness. The Sabian Symbol for this full moon shows a woman opening two dark curtains concealing the entrance to a sacred pathway. Life can be seen as a series of decisions and choices that are viewed by the logical mind as either right or wrong, but this full moon asks us to trust our feelings and intuition and plunge into the unknown. Coming hot on the heels of the recent Mercury retrograde transit, many will find themselves embarking on new ‘sacred pathways’ never even envisaged a few short weeks ago. Mid September looks promising for personal and business relationships, with
