Mercury REtrograde in Gemini 2008, 5/26 to 6/19

Mercury REtrograde

21 degrees to 12 degrees Gemini
11:48AM EST 28th May to 10:31AM EST 19th June

Yes Stars, the next 3 weeks grants us another natural “sharpening of the saw” period to REinvent those communications as we bring REnewal and REflection upon the astrological house Gemini affects in our individual birth charts. Mercury, our Messenger planet once again is REquesting we gravitate to REassessment and REmain calm while he plays his typical “tricks” upon the collective. One should not be surprised over these weeks ahead that such things like appointments change, travels see delays, and other kinds of movement and communication upsets will be occurring. Watch for those ill-flows in conversations, as it is without fail at this time that this inner planet’s “backward motion” casts its’ arrows of flux upon us all.

So while those still in unawares stir around in the chaos thinking their worlds are ending, REmember it is to any soul’s advantage to be in the know of when Mercury is in REtrograde. There is no doubt it is wise to take a paused REsponse verses a quick REaction to the abrupt and seemingly unexpected mishaps that are most important over 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 Gemini slice of your own individual astrological Zodiac “pie,” your birth chart. Which ever house, or part of life that 21 to 12 degrees Gemini rules is where Mercury urges you to spend the proper time focusing upon REnewal, REflection and movement within. REmember, this is the duality sign of the Twins, naturally marking in your chart where you ultimately need to unite divided goals to achieve success. As we welcome the New Moon in Gemini on June 3rd, one can take this energy and equally allow emotions to be REborn within this 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 you are granted even further insight to what is happening for you on an individual basis over this current astrological transit. By pairing both perspectives, the Forecast we are magically shown displays the energy that surrounds us to take in to account- bearing in mind our free will is 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 properly attended to ourselves we then can shower the Universe with the gifts that we have acquired through our individual commitments to self. Thus, this second Mercury REtrograde Period of 2008 asks the collective to REassess communications in the areas of our personal thinking, mentality, and vocal expression.

Albeit the intellectual sign of Gemini excels at times within its’ toying of clever duality. Yet while the Messenger planet goes “backwards” through this energy, we are especially wise to adhere to the simple concept of the union of body, mind and spirit. By doing so, we can allow the achievement of the positive results of this period to unfold, rather than be caught up in the tendency to be split. When any mind is calmed and grounded, the personal affects felt REflect those that are outwardly seen on a Universal one as well.

We now progress further into the Universe’s alignment of 2008’s Mercury REtrograde Periods that visit the three Zodiac’s intellectual Air Signs. Our Sun and Mercury during these transits will naturally conjunct, as they pass through the same air sign simultaneously. This second passage in 2008 marks time spent in the mutable air understanding- the REworking of the continuous streamline of thought and vocalization of Gemini’s energy as it affects our personal 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 we have the aides to allow this natural period to go all the more smoothly, and if you adhere to the advise that follows, one’s REflective time over the next three weeks just can’t go wrong!

DO:
*Expect breakdowns and REscheduling with especially with travel arrangements as mechanical
problems can easily surface.
*Understand appointments change, people fall to running late, and delays of any kind may occur.
*Communications are easily misunderstood, so be extra clear and patient with your words.
*REview and REnew things already under way.
*When Mercury is direct, go ahead with the launching of new projects.

DON’T:
*Sign important documents, legal agreements, etc.
*Initiate something new you wish to have the long-term successful outcomes with.
*If something must be set in forward motion over this period, be in the know there will be a restructuring of it further down the road.
*REact to any surprise changes in anger, as it will magically manifest more of the same to attract itself to you. Again, patience and courage is key.

The RE’s of Mercury REtrograde: Mercury in Cancer, 2007

2007’s second Mercury Retrograde Period begins June 15th at 7:40pm EST, as our “trickster” planet will reverse from 11 degrees Cancer to 02 degrees Cancer until July 9th, when it will go Direct at 10:15pm EST. As our Mercurial friend travels back through the energy of sensitive and imaginative Cancer; the collective can expect communications to be extra-emotional, yearning for social contact and mentalities to be receptive to psychic impressions. Check your individual birth chart to see the Cancer ruled house and the area of life of how this Mercury Retrograde period will directly affect you.

LET US FEAR NOT! Many people over Mercury retrograde periods “freak out” with the results they see, but that is only due to being resistant to what the Universe is requesting us to do at this time. There are many, many ways we can take full advantage of this period. Mercury Retrograde passages are meant to be of great benefit, as we all naturally need time periodically to cleanse, and bring a sense of reorder back into our lives.

Naturally, to be optimally functioning human beings, we are wise to take a step back from our busy lives and sharpen our saws. What’s absolutely wonderful is that our mighty planets above grant us this time to REassess, REflect and RElax, REorganize, and most importantly REst! This is where knowing how to time our lives to the planetary transits above becomes an essential ingredient in bringing balance to any life.

Retrograde periods ultimately are meant to aid us in our personal evolution. Mercury Retrograde is one such cyclethat recurs three times each year. Mercury governs over all forms of communication, thinking, mentalities, travel, and movement in our lives. Being Mercury is one of our inner planets, it affects the collective consciousness more directly during its’ period of reflection.

Those unaware to this astrological cycle seemingly create more chaos in their everyday lives through their reactions during this time. To best avoid the “mishaps” that can occur during these periods, here are some proactive Mercury Retrograde tips:

DON’T:

*Sign any important documents, legal agreements, etc.

*Initiate anything new you wish to have the long-term successful outcomes with.

DO:

*Understand if something must be set in forward motion over this period, be in the know there will be a restructuring of it further down the road.

*Expect breakdowns with travel arrangements as mechanical problems can surface.

*Expect appointments and plans to change and be REscheduled!

*REview and REnew things already under way.

*When Mercury goes direct, go ahead with the launching of new projects.

As with any name, the mysteries of Lexigrams can also lend us valuable insight to terms and titles in our lives. Mercury Retrograde is no exception. Check out the advice hidden right in front of us:
