Mercury Retrograde
Archetypal, Mercury in Roman mythology is the Winged Messenger of the Gods, Hermes to the Greeks.
But it is also the Trickster as I'm sure you have heard the saying, "My mind is playing tricks on me.
"Is it that or is it our true thoughts coming up from the subconscious that we are afraid or embarrassed to express and give voice to? Carl Jung called it the shadow.
So, did you really mean to say that, were you just kidding as you jest with that sly smile and was it really just an oops, " slip of the tongue"..
..
hmmm.
Mercury rules our mental process and all forms of communication.
Mercury is in Aquarius and will retrograde January 29th and remain so through half of February, going direct on Feb.
18th.
As Aquarius can represent the revolutionary, and may be rebellious it is also the humanitarian and can be quite brilliant and intelligent.
Mercury in Aquarius has to do with our own unique thought and communication process.
During this retrograde you may find yourself thinking more out of the box than usual and coming up with ideas you didn't know you were in you, taking pride and being amazed in your own brilliance.
Maybe you will be thinking seriously about investigating new and innovative modes of communicating in the world such as podcasting and reaching out into cyberspace.
Retrogrades are more a time of turning inward and reflecting on what is or has not been working.
With Mercury it will be an inward mental process.
What is it that you want to communicate and how will you do it, and since Mercury is in Aquarius it may be in terms of your own uniqueness?Maybe you will be inspired to start writing or journaling as a way of getting your thoughts out of your head and it could become a routine process for you in the future.
Mercury is about learning as well, therefore you may think about taking a class in something that has interested you for a long time and has been sitting on the back burner, like astrology, perhaps or possibly enhancing the skills that you already have by embarking on an advanced form of study in your professional field.
Whatever, this period represents for you dare to express in a way that is most unique to you.
You may be surprised to the outcome!
