SGC Admin: Check out this fabulous “guide” for Mercury Retrograde in Virgo: :) Thanks Will… :)
Oh hey, It’s that very special time again! Mercury Retrograde is upon us. Mercury, the planet of communication, intellect, and expression has been in its home sign of Virgo since July 31. Whe…
Mercury the planet of communication and technology has been in Retrograde motion since the end of August 2016. He turns direct again on September 22nd. However, he is still in his “storm” until September 25… this means the effects of the Mercury retrograde are still in effect until that day… it is therefore advisable to put of starting anything new until after the 25th… :)
Mercury is the planet of communications and technology, he is what makes us think. He is also in “charge” of transportation
Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini
Taurus has to have both emotional and material security to be content
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and money.
Taurus is much slower to act than Aries is… she needs to be sure it’s the best decision, and she takes a bit longer to fully understand what is all involved.
We could be slower on the uptake, and some of us could feel slightly frustrated at the pace…
Patience is in the cards for others, it will be easier for you to take your time and mull over your options… for the rest of us, we could be “chomping at the bit” to get going
We prefer to stick to what we know now, new ideas or projects or ways of doing things are more challenging to connect with
Slow and steady is the way to go now
Our thinking will be more on the practical side, tackling abstract issues may not go as well as anticipated.
Some folks may be tempted to view the world through “blinkers” making it awkward for those around them…
Those who have a tendency to be stubborn may be more so… hopefully their loved ones will be understanding and convince them with love and hugs to change their mind if the subject needs to be resolved now.
Money issues could be on the agenda and if they are we are encouraged to take our time with them.
We are more aware of our comfort needs now… so indulge… :)
Mercury Retrograde: Enters Storm April 21, Goes Retrograde April 28 until May 22: In Storm until June 1 2016;
Try and Avoid the following:
When Mercury is Retrograde or in its storm, it’s not the best time to begin any new projects. Work on the ones that are already in progress.
Because Mercury rules communications, technology and transportation, entering into any new legal contracts or signing important papers may not go as planned.
Predictions or expectations for or about such issues, (buying a house, signing a lease, a new job, a new study) will not go as planned.
If you have to proceed with important situations, be aware that changes are likely.
Make sure you find out all you can about everything, and make as many notes as possible.
Try to follow the recommendations below:
When Mercury is retrograde it’s the perfect time to re-do and re-visit past issues…
Write down your ideas and the time they occurred.
If it comes back on the market put another offer on that house you “lost” after your previous offer:
Redecorate your home or office, check out your policies…
Bring up unresolved relationship issues and re investigate possible solutions.
Mercury retrograde gives us a second chance… :)
Mercury in storm isn’t as strong as Mercury Retrograde, but it can still have a disappointing or challenging effect.
Mercury is the planet of communications and technology, he is what makes us think.
Leo is dramatic, proud and “demands” quality over quantity.
Our way of thinking might get bigger, we may “see” greater possibilities ahead and our plans for the future may become more grandiose.
Speculation, gambling and taking a risk are all possible now. Those who have a tendency to go over budget may need to be aware of such a trait when entering into such situation. However research into sound investments isn’t a bad idea.
Time to pick up a good book, see a new movie, or go to the theater with friends or that special someone..
A great time to socialize and have fun with like-minded folk
Children and Pets might be on the mind of some folk. Creating with our hands is good for us now, as is coming up with creative ideas for any number of things.
Leo is a fire sign, encouraging our mind to work quicker then usual, however not everyone will be “blessed” with the ability to think on their feet.
Some of us may gear our thinking towards doing, while others may have the best intentions, however the thoughts remain words, good ideas may stem from such episodes, writing them down now may prove useful in the future.
Our lady begins to grow in the sign of Virgo, September 5 2013. She will stay there until Friday September 6 2013 6:10 am, when she will go void off course until settling into Libra at 3:12 pm in the 1st quarter.
The New Moon is about beginnings and starts … it’s the time to look forward and put new ideas and projects into motion. For September’s new moon, half an hour before she becomes new and half an hour after she has become new is an excellent time to start something important:
New moon in the 4th quarter. A good time to “draw back” to reflect on past events and what has been (or has not been) accomplished. Time to clear the slate and plan for the New Moon stage.
New Moon in the 1st quarter: Our lady becomes visible 5.5 to 12 hours after ‘her birth” (the time she becomes new) she is delicate but strong, eager to start anew almost with the innocence of a babe she wants to begin again and explore all that she can. This is the absolute best time to begin your new projects, especially any projects or ideas that relate to the home and family. Family is anyone you wish to include which for some may be college’s friends, neighbours and co-workers.
When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or someone, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
New moon in Virgo: Virgo is all about detail, which can sometimes incite worry where it’s not needed. If you are beginning a new project, or planning for the future, don’t be too hard on yourself it everything doesn’t seem to be perfect… You will see the flaws that need fixing, but don’t go crazy, sometimes mistakes are necessary :) If you have been wanting to get in shape, or step up your work out routine now is a good time to start, it’s also a good time to begin a diet as our minds wonder to our health and hygiene… Cleaning out that closet or the car may also prove to be fabulous therapy…
Moon in the 12th House: This is the house of fantasy, escape, secrets, hospitals and other institutions. When the new moon visit’s here, she could prompt us towards new solo projects and/or she may help us move towards delving into a new project or situation that previously we may only have dreamed of doing. The beginning of a secret love affair may also be thanks to this new moon, however, you are advised to be careful of what you wish for. If you are feeling creative, go ahead and have some fun, if it’s for a serious project make sure you head isn’t too far into the clouds. Intuition could be bang on now..
This months new moon will have more influence on those with the following:
Moon in Virgo:
Moon in Pisces:
Sun in Virgo:
Moon in the 12th house:
Chart ruler Mercury:
Chart ruler Neptune:
Ascendant in Virgo.
Ascendant in Pisces.
For those who have oppositions or square aspects to the moon, these may prove to be challenging times, if this is the case you are advised not to force issues at this time. For those who have trines or sextiles, these may prove to be opportune times.
A solar eclipse can have an influence on us making things, plans, issues and or situations that happen during an eclipse last longer than usual. Sometime’s it’s unavoidable and plans have to be made, ideas need to be put into motion and there are some people we just can’t get away from or do without…. In these cases patience is strongly advised. Our last Solar Eclipse was on May 9 2013.
