Mercury Shenanigans and Support by Dana Mrkich | Evolution Revolution

Mercury Shenanigans and Support by Dana Mrkich | Evolution Revolution

 

Mr Mercury doesn't officially go Retrograde until early next week but he is already causing all kinds of electronic shenanigans with computers acting up, banking/eftpos facilities going down, phones acting strange and so on.


This is partly because we are in the Shadow period ie Mercury is travelling across the degrees he will soon seemingly 'reverse' over. It is also partly because he is doing all this in his home sign of Gemini which is related to Communications.


SO take extra care when emailing and texting people over the next few weeks, making sure before you press send that your message is going to the intended party! If you are writing something that is gossipy, have a think about how you would feel if the subject of your message read it - you might find yourself reconsidering sending that message and instead delete it.


With everyone's increasing sensitivity, we can all feel thoughts and energy being sent our way even if we can't put our finger on why we are feeling how we feel. So be mindful about what you are saying and thinking about others.


This is a great period in which to re-connect with people you haven't seen or heard from in a while - and this will usually happen quite unexpectedly.


It is a fabulous time to go over conversations that may have happened in the past, where you need some closure or a re-negotiation of some deal or agreement.


It is an excellent time to review some project you had put on hold, brush off the dust and get back into it. Something might come back to you that you had given up hope on, or where the timing wasn't right before.


Mercury is Retrograde 18 May-11 June, with the post-retrograde Shadow period lasting until 27 June.


Has Mercury paid you a visit already?

Cosmic Weather: New Moon Report for 5/28/14 a message from Rev. Irma Kaye Sawyer

Hello friends. We soon will be at the New Moon in Gemini, which will set the stage for the upcoming Mercury Retrograde in Gemini, which will be with us for almost the entire month of June. While Mercury retrogrades have been known to have their challenges, this one is going to be unique and in many ways, magical and personally transforming. I will delve more into that with the Cosmic Weather monthly snapshot for June, coming up soon.

When I pondered the energies of this incoming new moon I heard the song "Maps and Legends" by REM (an oldie but a goodie!) in my head. Listening to the lyrics, it seemed very appropriate. Besides a tale or story, the legend of a map is the key to read or decipher it. Mercury, the ruler of Gemini also rules messages and maps of all kinds. So there you go. The Universe is giving us a sweet little clue, right there.

Down the way the road's divided, paint me the places you have seen. Those who know what I don't know, refer to the yellow, red, and green. Maybe he's caught in the legend. Maybe he's caught in the mood. Maybe these maps and legends, have been misunderstood. He's not to be reached. (song attributed to Mills/Berry/Buck/Stipe.)

The Sabian Symbol for this new moon is 8 Gemini: Aroused Strikers Surround A Factory.

This certainly is an image with distinct and powerful implications. A "Striker" is someone currently unhappy or dissatisfied with environmental conditions, usually in regards to the terms of employment, union conditions and so forth. They are also willing to take a stand against this conditions to make their voices known to those in positions of authority and also the public. A "Strike" is often not something done in secret or shadow, but in the light of day.

One of the more fun aspects of Gemini energy is its infinite curiosity, and ability to explore and shape-shift. The shadow of this however, is to dissipate one's energy in misguided or fruitless pursuits. To follow a map that leads to nowhere, so to speak. If you want to break out of your current conditions and perhaps cause a personal "strike" for the better, look to the maps and legends, wherever they may appear. Also be willing to traverse the "road less traveled," where as the song suggests, you may not be reached for awhile. I feel this new moon is significant to the overall journey and experience that will occur throughout the month of June. It's definitely a time to be aware of personal messages and possible directives.

Be mindful that the nervous system will be highly sensitized during this new moon cycle and stimulant intake should be monitored; insomnia is a possibility as well. Have a notebook or voice recorder on hand for ideas that may come floating in, and also for arcane directives and symbols that may float in during dreamtime.

Traditional meanings of Gemini New Moon: learning, teaching, communication, new methods and perspectives, messages.

Happy New Moon friends and remember to keep it Cosmic!

NOTE: New Moon in Gemini is 5/28/14 at 11:40 am PDT/2:40 pm EDT.
