Note the title. It's usually "Manifestation Mondays", I know. But Mercury in Retrograde is almost here.
Mercury in Aries will be in Retrograde from March 30, 2011 to April 23, 2011.
What's a Mercury in Retrograde? (More about that here.)
As I stated in a previous article "As with all retrogrades (more about that here) this is going to guide us to focus our attention on the areas of communication and travel. To sum up, during a retrograde
- Don’t sign on the dotted line unless it’s for something from your past.
- Redo, Rethink, Reflect.
- Back up computers.
- Careful with spoken or written communication.
- Old friends or lovers (with, in this case, Aries planets) may resurface during an Aries Retro in order to heal past events.
In a nutshell, with Aries Mercury Retro, there can be a tendency to be too fiery or incendiary. It reminds you to look before you leap and please, please, please don't go blazing off into the Great Unknown to start something new unless it's something that's come back around a second time.
Also, Astro Hint!
Wherever Aries falls in your chart is where this Retro will hit you.
In the section of your chart that Aries falls is also where Mercury in Aries in Retrograde falls. This is where you may experience any of the bulleted points above, from communication confusion to old friends/lovers returning.
All astrological transits (when a planet is in a certain placement RIGHT NOW instead of on the day you were born) can be calculated in terms of your personal chart by looking at two things: your Sun Sign ("What's Your Sign, Baby!") and your Rising Sign, which is in your first house. Not sure what your Rising Sign is? Go to Astro.com and find out for free. Go on. I'll wait right here.
Ok, now with both of those in hand, use the list below to see what you can expect for Mercury in Retrograde in Aries.
For example, Mary's Sun Sign is in Libra because she was born on October 11. Astro.com says her Rising Sign/Ascendent is in Gemini because she was born at 10:15 PM.
Mary will read BOTH the Libra section (for her Sun Sign) and the Gemini section (for her Ascendent/Rising Sign).
