Sharita’s Words

Now that you are informed, you don’t have to be so surprised over these weeks ahead. Expect that such things like appointments change, travels see delays, and other kinds of movement and communication upsets will be occurring. Especially as the energy of Mercury spins backwards through the sign of relationships- be on the alert for those ill-flows in conversations, as it is without fail that this inner planet’s “backward motion” casts its’ arrows of flux wherever ever they may choose to fall.

You will witness those still in unawares stirring around in the chaos thinking their worlds are ending. And isn’t it nice to REmember you have the advantage of being in the know that Mercury is just being a slight rough in his attempted playfulness upon the collective. Therefore, the key over this period is to take a paused REsponse verses a quick REaction to the abrupt and seemingly unexpected mishaps that typically accompany any Mercury Retrograde period. There is so much we can succeed in over these times on a personal level; but first we have to know where to start.

A great place to begin is that Libra slice of your own individual astrological Zodiac “pie,” your birth chart. Which ever house, or part of life that 22 to 07 degrees Libra rules is where Mercury urges you personally to spend the proper time focusing upon REnewal, REflection and movement within. REmember, this is the sign that governs over relationships, in particular those of marriage and business partnerships. The energy of the Scales, the constant striving for balance, marks your every move in this area of your soul’s composition. This area of your chart governs where you ultimately need to feel you have balance in to achieve success. As we welcome the New Moon in Libra on September 29th, one can take this energy and equally allow emotions to be REborn within this particular area of the life.

Couple this astrological knowledge with your numerical Current Personal Year Cycle, along with the Personal Month and Day through Forecasting- and one is granted even further insight to what is happening on an individual basis over this current astrological transit. By pairing both perspectives, the Forecast we are intuitively shown displays the energy that surrounds us to take in to account- bearing in mind our free will is the always the deciding factor within any situation. One never needs to be caught up in the typical tricks of Mercury REtrograde when adherence to their own self-knowledge is being done.

Attending to one’s personal work is always valuable time spent. Once we have paid the proper attention to ourselves we then can outwardly show the Universe the gifts that we have acquired individually. Thus, this third (and whew! FINAL) Mercury REtrograde Period of 2008 asks the collective to REassess communications in the areas of our relationships, those that are most connected to our significant other and business ties.

This is the third air sign that Mercury has visited in 2008. Mercury concludes by toying with the very idea of our closest relationships while in Libra. As the Messenger planet does his “backwards thing” through this energy, we are especially wise to adhere to one simple concept. That the first and most important relationship before we can have healthy ones with others, is the one we have to ourselves. As we better understand ourselves, all the more we are able to excel at one of Libra’s treasured abilities, to seek to understand others.

This final passage will complete of the Universe’s alignment of 2008’s Mercury REtrograde Periods that visited all three intellectual Air Signs- Aquarius, Gemini and Libra-the true thinkers of the Zodiac. Our Sun conjuncts Mercury during these transits, as they both pass through the same air sign simultaneously. This passage in Libra marks time spent in the leadership air understanding. Thus, the REworking of the continuous direction of the forward motion our interpersonal relationships take as they affect our individual and Universal lives.

To conclude, we give you the norm of any Mercury REtrograde periods’ do’s and don’ts. As always there is plenty of Lexigram wisdom to be derived from the revelations within the MERCURY RETROGRADE name itself. No doubt as we reap this uncanny Lexigram advise, we can allow this natural period to go all the more smoothly. By applying all three star secrets, one’s REflective time over the next three weeks just can’t go wrong!
