Hello all.
At the end of the week on April 23 Mercury resumes direct motion. Mercury represents our conscious mind and rational thinking processes and includes all forms of communication. In ancient times Mercury was the god of commerce and is usually represented holding a purse to signify his involvement in business. He is the god of interchange, whether monetary interchange as in business transactions or purely mental interchange as in the realm of communications.
On the day that Mercury turns direct there is often a tangible outward manifestation of his power. Watch for that on Saturday (MDT). You can look for a business communication that resolves a matter from the past and allows it to move forward again. Or perhaps clarity on an idea that was born about 10 days ago and gets the go ahead today. Or you may finally get that meeting with the client that you’ve been working on. Let’s all watch for Mercury to make himself known and share it with everyone in the comments if you notice his presence today.
Don’t be surprised if you feel a little groggy though. The few days around Mercury direct are like to the few minutes after you come out of a particularly deep sleep. It takes some time for our brain wave activity to return to its normal state of functioning. Just like coming out of sleep, it’s good to come out of Mercury retrograde slowly, and not require the top level of mental clarity from yourself or your employees for a couple of days.
Enjoy the transition to Mercury direct!
