Mercury Retrograde

by on Jan.28, 2021, under In The News

For the first time in 2021, Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Aquarius from January 30 through February 20th. People talk about the symptoms of Mercury Retrograde….technology issues, communication problems, stumbling blocks presented, as well as physical concerns. It seems to coincide with computers going down, phone issues, and a general feeling of chaos.

Mercury is the messenger; the planet of thought, speech and rules our mental nature. Aquarius is an Fixed Air Sign that is especially inventive, has humanitarian concerns and strives to be unique and different. Combining these qualities makes for an enlightened period where our thinking evolves from feeling trapped in the current lock down, to the freedom of sitting still and reconnecting.

But the monkey wrench is thrown in when Mercury goes retrograde. The Sun, Jupiter and Saturn are all in the sign of Aquarius now, This supplies strength in the form of stubbornness and persistence, so time to review what you are striving for. I believe when Mercury is retrograde, rather than begin anything new, it is time to review and finish/finalize projects, reconsider our plans and goals, and thoroughly look over what we do and how we are doing it.

The good news is the sign of Aquarius strives for freedom and wishes the best for all humanity. This can be a few weeks of forward motion with our thinking if we open our hearts to ourselves and others. It is the perfect time to go within and do a checklist of what needs attention and what you will do about it. Time for new solutions and hopeful conclusions.

So grab hold of this time. Don’t let it leave you frazzled, but quiet your chaos with peace within. After all, how we respond to stimuli is up to us, so use this information to best address this time, and free yourself.
