I’ve tracked a lot of news events during Mercury retrograde and well, this one stands out among just about all of them, tall and proud and over the top. The only one that stands a little taller and a little more over the top was the one in November 2000 wherein a United States presidential election was stolen and everyone scratched their head and went on eating their Whopper just so the same thing could happen again in 2004.<\/p>\n

Oil and water don't mix.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mercury, after being retrograde since April 18, stationed direct in Taurus today at 6:26 pm in NY, 3:26 pm in California and 11:26 pm in England.<\/p>\n

In that time we experienced a volcano, an oil volcano (still out of control, with no end in sight, compounded by hundreds of thousands of gallons of solvent being dumped into the Gulf of Mexico<\/em>), a bitterly fought election in the UK, massive flooding in Tennessee and other states, tornadoes in Oklahoma, banking fraud by Goldman Sachs exposed, a debt crisis flooding across Europe with a trillion euro bailout committed to during the retrograde!<\/em>, a 1,000 point dive in the stock market the cause of which nobody can figure out and an attempted terrorist attack in New York City.<\/p>\n

After we spent, well I hate to toss around the word trillion<\/em> so casually but…a trillion<\/em> dollars on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq during the past decade, the presumed enemy is…the Pakistani<\/em> branch of ‘al Qaeda’. A Supreme Court nominee was announced by Obama the day before Mercury stationed \u2014 that nomination, well, let\u2019s just say that it has issues; there will be a fuss and those so easily distracted will be distracted from all the things they don’t want to be thinking about.<\/p>\n

This wasn’t just Mercury retrograde of course; an outer planet changed signs — Chiron. And Mercury right now is hovering in flight over the discovery degree of Chiron. In honor of this I’m going to call this one the Chiron Mercury retrograde forevermore.<\/p>\n

I think this has been somewhat easier for individuals than its been for the world as a whole, but maybe it’s just me; Mercury has been making a lot of trines against earthy planets and points in my chart. The funky part was Mars (different planet, different retrograde, close proximity in time) making a series of oppositions to my Aquarius Moon — but the first two were more challenging than the third.<\/p>\n

I know it’s always a relief when Mercury stations direct and you have a positive bank balance, your Internet connection works and you have air in all four tires. I’m wondering how it’s been for you these past few weeks — and in particular what you’ve earned and learned; what truth has come out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
