Taurus New Moon & Mercury Retrograde
In this last week of Taurus, we have a Taurus new moon festival (Sunday, 17th) = “Let struggle be undismayed.” – and Mercury turning stationary retrograde (Monday, 18th). New moon times signify new realities, thoughts, ideas and planning. Mercury’s three-week retrograde, creating internal assessments and review, supporting introspection, allows us to emerge after the retrograde with new ideas the new moon energy introduced.
Mercury retrogrades from May 18th through June 11th (from 13 to 4 degrees Gemini). Mercury retrograde offers us magical gifts, ideas we haven’t thought of yet. It also arranges and re-arranges our minds.
Mercury is communication, the communicator, the Messenger of the Sun (gods). When a planet retrogrades its outer characteristics become hidden. Everything feels upside down, curving into unexpected directions. Mercury rules the lower mind; how we think, talk, communicate, add numbers, understand directions, interpret our environments.
When Mercury’s retrograde, minds turn inward leading to silence at times (we can’t find words), to confusion, misrepresentation, mis-communication, with details left out and nothing being remembered. We are reminded to double-check everything, preparing for errors, details missing & delays. It becomes an adventure to navigate Mercury retro. With all of this, Mercury retro is still a gift.
Mercury Retro Rules – no large purchases (car, house, computer, etc.), no signing (or sending) important papers, no medical decisions, no major surgeries, no new negotiations of business plans, etc. These “no” statements are protections. Why? Because when Mercury turns direct again, the world turns right-side up, it looks and sounds different, what we signed we discover had hidden clauses, what we agreed to actually never occurred. Everyone’s mind has changed! Mercury retro cultivates inner awareness, listening, research, review, reassessment of all information received since last Mercury retro (Jan. 21 – Feb. 10).
Mercury retrograde provides us with a specific amount of time, a spectific rhythm of time for review & this occurs three to four times a year. By the time Mercury retrogrades we’re overwhelmed with too much information. Mercury retro’s gifts are many – new perspectives, a new look at old problems or situations to achieve greater understanding. At times a rapprochement (a re-uniting after a long separation) occurs. Mercury is our personal “star”, our “ starry messenger.” Mercury brings forth harmony. It calls us out of our own shadows.
