A Creative Mercury Retrograde

I’ve been following the Mercury retrograde cycle ever since I started studying astrology back in the 70’s It happened so frequently (every 4 months or so) and it always seemed to cause trouble. I knew I needed to ‘figure it out’ somehow, but when I read the books and magazines on it, my own personal experience never quite matched up to what was said about it. Some astrologers gave strong warnings about not signing contracts and making serious decisions and they were really absolute about it too. But I soon noticed that oftentimes, this rigid position just wasn’t possible. In fact, the opposite seemed true in that there were times when it was absolutely necessary for me to make a decision.

A Time of Hidden Potency

In previous articles I have written about the nature of the Mercury retrograde cycle that we are in right now. And we are in the exact middle of that phase right now. This phase is called the Inferior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury and occurs on August 16, 2011 at 23° Leo. For those who are interested the exact time is 6:04pm PDT. This is a very important point for those astrologers who watch cycles closely, for this is when a ‘seed idea’ is born into our psyches. Thus it is like a New Moon in the sense that it is a true beginning of a new framework or thought-form that will grow and develop over the next 6 weeks. Any New Moon is also called a ‘dark Moon’ because in a physical sense we can’t see it, and in a symbolic sense, we do not yet know what the nature of that newly born seed is. We are, for the most part, in the dark.
