We are now in that sensitive moment where Mercury is slowing to a complete stop and reversing directions from retrograde to direct. The moment of the station (as it is called) is 9:13:28 am EDT on Tuesday. Mercury’s exact address at the time of the station is 21 Virgo 37. This is pretty close to a conjunction with Saturn in late Virgo, and Mercury will again pass through the Saturn-Uranus opposition (for the third time). That is next week. The degree of the station puts it into close aspect with Mars, Chiron and Eris; and close enough to call an aspect with Neptune, the lunar nodes, Jupiter and Ceres: that’s one busy Mercury in Virgo. Damn, stationing direct is busy enough for a planet.<\/p>\n

Now as for what this “means.” This is a fragile, potent moment of events, ideas and mental processes changing directions. If you pause long enough to think, you will actually feel this happen.<\/p>\n

Astrology is not merely a symbol; something actually occurs in real time and real space, and that something parallels (and influences) events in the actual world. Mercury is a magnet. If you put a magnet next to a disk drive you will wipe out the memory. If you put magnets on the skin outside a fractured bone, it will heal faster.<\/p>\n

The big magnet known as Mercury is shifting its direction of motion relative to the Earth, and all its affairs will sway. That would be you and that would be me and indeed that would be us.<\/p>\n

Without sounding too much like, “Monday is for washing, Tuesday is for ironing” (holy shit, I remembered that right <\/a>— Aunt Josie told me that decades ago) in fact there is often a logical order of operations based on the movements of the planets. Mercury is still retrograde right now, though from moment to moment, its apparent hourly motion is slower and slower. The issues that it represents are beginning to unravel. The mental or creative processes that it has been guiding are about to change directions. Processes that have been directed inwardly may respond by becoming more outwardly oriented.<\/p>\n

Now is the time to pay close attention to the movement of the subject matter and relationships involved. It’s a time to be extra clear and extra careful, and be on the lookout for things that need attention. It is NOT a time for making “final” commitments or decisions; but rather, guiding things gently in the direction you want them to go.<\/p>\n

I strongly suggest not messing with your computer, not sending anything in for repair, and not making purchases above $25. Just sit and hang loose while this passes, and keep your emphasis on the mental plane: your thought process, communication, and idea creation.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget to watch for that distinctly Mercury stationing direct property of: the truth comes out.<\/p>\n
