Good news, Mercury goes direct tomorrow, Tuesday

[ricochetastroman]

6:26 Eastern Time, Mercury decides to give us all a break and go forward. I really didn't have much trouble with this period because I gave up sweating it. I thought long and hard about "why" this planet goes backwards; what's its purpose? The only thing I can come up with is to teach us to slow down. When I do, I'm OK, when I don't, the opposite.

Keep an eye on Uranus and Jupiter the rest of the month as it approaches Aries on the 27th, and June 6 respectively. Watch for a growing SENSE of "I'm gonna do it!" "I'm going to bust free - I can't take this self-imposed restriction anymore."
See what you find, watch the news, watch your friends and family.

It'll be great to report on.

Wishing all of you the best :hi:

Go Obama Go, keeerist, a President who actually DOES SOMETHING!

1. Bye-bye Mercury! Bye-bye!

Never get off the boat...I gotta remember, never get off the boat.

-Paraphrasing Chef in "Apocalypse Now", after he is nearly eaten by a tiger after stepping off the boat into the jungle to find mangoes.

2. Not a moment too soon for me

This one has kicked my butt from here to Georgia and back.

3. Won't be sorry to see the backside of this one

I managed to stay out of the line of fire for most of the stretch, but it caught me Saturday, big time. It'll be interesting to see if it takes my laptop with it... x(

[FirstLight]

4. Does that mean I will FINALLY be able to focus & get things DONE?

I swear, the past 3 weeks especially, I have had a bad case of the 'fuckits' and have found myself with a pile or a to do list on my desk, and just stare out the window and lose myself for a few hours...

I have 'worked on stuff' but it seems like it is mostly fiddling and I can't get off the ground with anything of substance. I want to be able to cover the city council news but I have been unable to wrap my brain around the agenda... and I have an interview just laying on my desk that I cannot put into paragraphs to save my life...!

PLEASE tell me the mental fog will finally lift and the next 2 weeks can be full of Action & COMPLETIONS

...I am also supposed to do surgery between the last week of May and the first 2 weeks of June - will the Jupiter/Uranus thing be bad for that? (PM me for details if you want)

5. I have been feeing a lot like Cassandra lately.

No matter how I tried I just couldn't make certain folks actually listen to what I've been telling them--especially in the world of work. I'll grant you, my life has not been placid--with my Mom's heart attack and bypass surgery (she's recovering well, I am very pleased to report) but this added issue with my workplace has brought a bunch of dark days that I have not been at all sure I was gonna survive with body and soul intact.

I hope this shit lets up soon. I am not sure how much more I can take.

6. I opened this post at exactly 6:26 am CDT

How fun is that? Thanks for the reminder that Mercury is leaving... I won't miss it. :hi:

[Myrina]

7. Are there 'side effects'?

I have been in an unexplainable RAGE for the last 2.5 days ... and the only thing I can attribute it to is something astrological.

:shrug:

[ricochetastroman]

8. I don't have your chart

Mercury direct or retrograde does not CAUSE Rage. Sounds more like Mars in mid-Leo :hi: I'm sure it's astrological though.

Hope things chill for you

[Myrina]

9. Here's my chart ....

Whatever it is, I wish it would go away before I do or say something stupid!





:hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Never give out your chart publicly.

There are techniques in the darker paths for parasitizing a person through knowledge of their birth time. Please be careful.

[rumpel]

11. Really?

:wow:

or kidding?

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. I usually use emoticons when I'm kidding, or take a weird tone of voice.

I'm not kidding. The darkness is far worse than most can ever imagine, and I'm not even talking here about extremely deep stuff, darkness-wise. I'm talking about things commonly discussed.

Much of course depends upon your individual karma...just be careful. I've had enough wipe-outs to confirm that Spirituality means "experiences in both polarities". Always watch your gut, if you have any proclivity for encountering the negative. Peace..

[conscious evolution]

18. Oh crap

I think I know someone doing this.
Always asking people for birth data but never seems to get around to finishing it to give a reading.And he is a known parasite.
Is there anything that can be done to counter this?

[ricochetastroman]

19. My opinion is that I don't know...

but could be. If he is asking for the time of birth, he probably is "charting" you. If not, he's probably just practicing sun-sign astrology.

If you go with your own flow, you'll be ok. He's just creating tons of bad karma for himself which will backfire. :hi:

[conscious evolution]

21. He is asking for birth times and locations.

Your right.Karma can be a motherfucker.And he has a boatload.

Should I warn others?

[ricochetastroman]

22. yes

and I wouldn't get too worked up about it. I doubt he's good enough as an astrologer to use the info against you. :hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

24. If you are powerful in the Mental plane, you can see what needs to be removed

and visualize its removal. The force of will is important too.

And yes, any paratization is rather bad karma.

[ricochetastroman]

13. It's a personal opinion to show or not

Many famous astrologers HIDE their birth time, etc. for that very reason. I guess I'm too open, I make my own world. :hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. Yep, if your vibration and karma can support that, go for it!

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. Weird...some paperwork I need is in trouble today.

I am having an inverse experience regarding the Mercury return...sometime I want expedited I find today to be in limbo. Those whom I repeatedly asked for help never lifted a finger or said a word, so I did it myself. Now they have an expert of sorts, but since I took care of it myself...he can't help!

(slaps forehead)

[ricochetastroman]

15. Things get resolved when Mercury goes direct

It's almost like magic how it works, good luck :hi:

[sybster1000]

16. Difficult? A flood here in my city, a thwarted bomber..an oil spill

I guess that we have had a tough past few weeks. One thing to be said for it...not a lot of criticism/finger pointing toward the government. Maybe it tamed that for awhile

[ricochetastroman]

20. Mercury is not a major planet

and does not cause bomberrs, oil spills, etc. That lies with background Pluto in Capricorn and as for the finger pointing, it will end, in about a year, but it goes down to Uranus opposite Saturn still. :hi:

[MorningGlow]

17. Notice in the mail today

Our school taxes (mighty high for a tiny village, but we get a lot of bang for our buck) are going to go DOWN for the 2010-11 school year. I don't know if it's because we're going to have fewer kids in the district, or we have a better budgeter, or we're getting some sort of break from the government, but lo and behold, here 'tis just as everything moves forward. Go Obama indeed. Take that, naysayers! :P
:rofl:

[rumpel]

25. I wonder whether Obama is in tune

with all of this naturally or by choice by paying attention - perhaps an astrologer on his team -

He waited until Monday to announce his nominee..

Yes, Go Obama.

:)

[ricochetastroman]

26. He probably is unconscious

of the fact that he is the AVATAR of the Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron conjunction of the past few years. A fresh breath. Remember, the U.S. chart is going through a Saturn return, transiting Pluto has been opposing the natal Venus in Taurus (finances) since the fall of 08, and currently, Neptune is flat-out sitting on the Moon in Aquarius (immigration issues)

The Uranus (Obama new) opposition to Saturn (McCain outmoded) was EXACT on the morning of the election. He is the AVATAR of that energy too.

He probably has astrologers around as well as in the Pentagon - if he has any sense, which he seems to.

I'd love the job :hi:

[rumpel]

27. and you'd be perfect!

I can envision you ( the photo you posted not so long ago !) Right there standing behind him..

:rofl:

Interesting that you mention immigration issues - I wonder how it suddenly came to the forefront. Uranus?

[ricochetastroman]

28. Depending

on which USA chart you use, the Sibley, which is "most right" in my pov. The Moon is 28 or so of Aquarius. Neptune is sitting right on it. Neptune, the most difficult planet to discuss, sneaks up on people. WE KNOW IT'S happening, but we turn a blind eye to its effects. Mainly through negiligence.

This is why (Neptune rules Pisces) that Pisces are tempted towards not facing issues, escapism, avoiding confrontation, alchohol, drugs, etc. Escape

We simply wanted to push it under the rug

Uranus: push it under the rug long enough and it cracks the floor
Neptune: push it under the rug long enough and it FLOODS you
Pluto: push is under the rug long enought and Pluto rips up the rug and burns it

I believe it came to the forefront because it was time. Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron all transited over it the past year or so.
Uranus did not trigger it. It wasn't a sudden occurrence. It just appeared so.

[ricochetastroman]

29. MAY 30 is when the SH*T hits the fan with border issues

Neptune (dissolution) and Chiron are sitting on the USA's Moon (nation's borders)
Mars will oppose it then, on the 30th and 31st, and SIGNIFICANT action (Mars) will be taken against the "issue"

Unbelievable stuff all culminating because PLUTO IS IN CAPRICORN, the sign of ultimate culmination.

Hang in there, we're on the right track :hi:
