Mercury is out of retrograde – but don’t pack your crystals away yet!

Published: 29 Mar 2019

Hoorah! The first of three, and arguably one of the most chaotic Mercury retrogrades is officially over, but not quite out of hot water.

Over the last three weeks, you may have felt expressing yourself through poetry, whale noises or interpretive dance moves may have proven more effective your usual wordsmithing.

Click the link to read the article I wrote for Whimn magazine this month to find out what it means for your sign, where to from here, and collect your Mercury survival mantra pack. Read on below the link for bonus intel.

Communing with crystals

It hasn’t been a time for crystal clear communication, although it’s been a time for crystals! Tap into your inner voice, meditate, and reassess how you acquire information and communicate. If you have a problem that seems unsolvable, this may be the ‘transit’ (planetary movement) that reveals answers. Make like Pisces Einstein, enjoy power napping with the intention of calling in the answer, and Eureka, you’ve channeled a genius solution.

Manifesting with awareness

This is the time for ‘magical reality‘, manifesting, and languaging your reality. Mercury is at its most impressionable and magical, so be aware of what you tune your psyche into and cultivate the content of what you feed your mind – where awareness goes, energy flows! Is your newsfeed really what you want to project back out as your reality? How about t.v, movies etc? As your see it, so it is. You are the creator. Free your mind, own your power, change your world.

Classic Mercury in Pisces

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a Pisces Sun with Mercury also in the impressionable water sign – In the television series, The Ghost Whisperer Jennifer played the lead role of Melinda “..who has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts…(she) helps earthbound spirits resolve their problems and cross over into the light..at times she struggles with people who push her away and do not believe in her gift…the ghosts are mysterious…and Melinda must use the clues available to her to understand the spirits’ needs and help them.” (according to the arguably all-knowing oracle, wikipedia)

Ghost Whisperer represents a classic Piscean Mercury scenario – you can’t prove where you got the intel, how you know, you ‘just know’. It’s subtle information, not tangible. You can ‘feel it in your waters’ so to speak. And when you doubt that all knowing part of yourself, you fall from grace and things start to go pear shaped. Consulting your rational mind is using your limited past experience, your cache of memories, to forecast your present moment or future. It’s useful yet has limits. Supplement it with your inner voice for a broader picture of possible reality and you’re really cooking with gas!

Watch for illusion, delusion, the unseen, misunderstandings, missed messages or deliveries, lost data.

Re-MASTERED : Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn

Published: 27 Dec 2016

THE MASTER PLAN:

Time to CULL ideas, re-assess and come up with your most sturdy, water tight plan yet.
In Capricorn, Mercury (ruling the mind and particularly all forms of communications) likes to get serious, plan and make sure everyone is accommodated for.

Use the holidays to really let go of your day to day mundane logistics to gain a birds of view of what you really want to achieve for 2017 and beyond. Think enduring ideas and plans. Stay open to a complete revision of what you thought you were going to do in 2017.
Work backwards and write up a step by step for how to, then stick to the plan. Capricorn is less flights of fancy and more cranking of gears and delegating.

Consider how you can get your ideas out and into the ring. Evaluate how you communicate..how can you deliver inspiration as well a maturity and authority? Or is there study you need to complete to get you to the next level? Mercury travels back to late Sag where it seems we’ve missed a step or left something behind we need to bring back into our game play.

What will it take to be taken more seriously? Time to expand your vocab? Get on top of particular languaging? Or just get your site/social media looking more professional and purpose based.

The area of life this retrograde takes place in indicates the area of life needing planning and strategy.

CHOICE FATIGUE :

This Retro may have us all regretting some shopping decisions made while the Sun’s been in impulsive and ‘more is more’ Sag, however you can always return, exchange or spread the love in a re-gift. Keep only what you really need to help achieve your top goals.

GEEK FACTS:

AEST-Mercury 15 degrees Capricorn Retro from Dec 20 to Jan 8th, back to 28 degrees Sagittarius.

Mercury clears the point it began retrograding on Jan 31. (Out of ‘shadow’).

I’ll be drawing up my goal, reverse engineering it in bullet point steps and writing it up like a pro geek on my white board. How will you re-vision you dreams, then reverse engineer, tips are always welcome!
Cheers,

Vanessa Montgomery

THE WAITING ROOM : More on RETROGRADE Motion

Published: 11 May 2016

SAGITTARIUS, it may not be all systems go just yet but lock n load, your ruler, Jupiter has just gone direct. While Mars is still retro in your sign, dramatic course corrections will continue to take place, go with it. You may feel like your wheels are spinning, but smoke usually preludes a fire so be open to change. Once these two planets go direct you’ll know exactly where to head and what to do.

VIRGO, since Jupiter is in your sign this means there’s some systems that are ready to go now..yet with Action planet Mars and task master Saturn retro in Sag, Squaring your sign, there are still hoops you need to jump through. However, luck is on your side so you’ll notice some positive forward motion in plans that have either been stalling or eluding you. Your ruler Mercury is retrograde, there’s more information that needs to come to light before all roads are clear and you can make a strategic move for the gold.

GEMINI, your ruler Mercury is still retro. Don’t stress out, just send your call into the deep space that is your higher mind and be open to what comes back. You’ll get your answer. Also Mars and Saturn retro in sag are opposing your sign. Once they go direct you’ll spot your direction.

CAPRICORN, your ruler is still retro, so hold on there, keep reviewing, restructuring and rebuilding..tear down what’s not authentic or working and be ready to rebuild an empire that reflects who you really are and what you know you have been put on this earth to craft.

WHAT UP?!

5 Planets Retrograde, Count ’em FIVE!

That’s What’s up.
That means a holy host of revision.

Are you finding delays, revisions, or plans akimbo?

Just go with it and embrace the change…tweakings, course corrections, stalling and sometimes expensive mistakes can be an annoying occurrence during retrogrades..the details of which depend on your personal astrologies relationship to the current heavenly bodies. However, with so many planets in reverse motion right now, most of us are bound to be touched by seemingly untimely events.

Advice. As always, read everything, twice! Practice patience and be open to doing what you know you need to do to allow the most flow..in your business, personal life, where ever you know you need it.

FRESH NEW IDEAS : Mercury in Aries

Published: 22 Mar 2016

While Mercury, the indicator of all things communication is in fiery, impulsive and combative Aries, it’s a great time to brainstorm. Cast your mind into uncharted territory, you’ll have less fear of breaking out of your box and could come with some fresh new ideas and perspectives.

You may tread on toes or sensitivities so be prepared to apologize later! This is the fearless mind, not the most tactful of placements but it can be incredibly rewarding if you just go with it. Harness the direct flavor and pitch well above your usual batting average.

GO FOR IT

Key dates; 22 March-6 April
