Anticipating Mercury retrograde

Repatterning the resonance of our experience of Mercury retrograde.

Mercury is soon retrograde and the trickster planet has already been toying with me! My computer monitor suddenly collapsed this past week, I’ve been working through cold symptoms and to add to my misery, now 2 of the lamps in my apartment – you know the ones you count on to light the whole room have also died.

Sure it’s nothing insurmountable, just inconvenient but in a day gone by, this sort of sequence of events would have left me agitated and feeling slightly victimized. Julie Simmons and I have been doing the Aligned for Mercury retrograde repatternings since April 6th 2004.   If you are new here, it’s a program where we apply Resonance Repatterning healing system to the issues of Mercury retrograde, combining my talents as the repatterner, and the professional astrology knowledge of Julie Simmons.  Back then just organizing the AMR program could invoke the worst of the trickster in my life. This past week I was noticing how I just flowed with the circumstances, took Julie’s advice to take the time to rest and trust it will all work out. However, while I was ‘looking’ at the situation of life unfolding during the shadow leading up to Mercury retrograde, I noticed that synchronistic good things also happened. I have to list them and brag a little about what can happen when you are aligned for Mercury Retrograde:

– before setting out to go lamp shopping I decided to go online and check my bank balance which I may not have normally done until the end of the month. Good thing I did as a large cheque had not cleared. Checking in with the company in question, it turns out they had been experiencing petty theft break-ins lately, so they asked me to put a stop payment to be sure and re-issue the cheque.
– While shopping for a replacement lamp, I lucked into a sale and picked up 2 additional lamps and a supply of lightbulbs – which I rarely do. This was fortuitous as within 2 days of purchase a total of 3 of my older lamps were now expired and light bulbs were needed by the others! I am also laughing and quietly amazed at the prospect of what else can be read into my light ordeal!
– Lastly, I noticed that a new wave of organizing energy has hit me and that while resting I have been fixated on ‘stuff’ I now plan to either repair or get rid of, and shelves and cupboards I am re-organizing. Instead of going to the quilt store for a new project, I am heading over to the Home Depot for a new broom smiling all the way!

Mercury is completely retrograde tomorrow and that’s when Julie and I will be doing our session for Aligned for Mercury retrograde. Join us in this hologram of success if you would like to change your pattern of managing this astrological influence – We’d love to have you be a part of the group.

In the meantime how are you experiencing Mercury retrograde? Are you aligned? out of synch or oblivious?

Mercury Retrograde March 12th 2012

It’s a two part story; part revelation, part confrontation. We can expect a learning curve which hits a fiery moment when Mercury conjuncts Uranus on the 18th. If not now, when? Seems to rule the moment. On the 23rd the energy shifts. We move into a less demanding and more poetic mentality. We do best when we listen to our inner promptings – not because we have to act on them but simply to know what motivates our behaviour. Look for opportunities to let go of old patterns even as you appreciate the wise survival instinct in them on the 29th. On the 4th of April when Mercury goes direct (and for a few days before and after that) there is a tension between the ardent desire to express our individuality with a profound awareness of the vastness of time and the relentless way it swallows history. All things pass yet they are so amazingly distinct while they are here and happening. Hold your identifications lightly and don’t get lost in the world.

Blessings

Decision making wisdom throughout Mercury retrograde.

To begin with here is a focus of consciousness or wisdom I muscle checked from the Resonance Repatterning system.   Checking the consciousness of the public seeking information on Mercury retrograde and what would be most helpful to all concerned I found this statement:

Focus of consciousness for this Mercury Retrograde:

“I listen carefully, reflect on what I hear and make meaningful and thoughtful connections so the decision-making process is smooth, efficient, interesting and empowering. “

Take a Pause Then Decide

Yes I know it makes perfect sense.  After all astrologers will tell you to slow down, post pone the big-ticket decisions, don’t start or initiate anything new unless in the planning phases only.   Still life goes on.   Your work needs accomplishing and decisions do need to be make.  When you think about it every waking moments puts us at a point of choice where a decision must be made.   The focus of consciousness statement above gives us a strategy.    Go ahead and make those choices but help yourself by liberally using a pause button.  Listen extensively, ask questions, be curious and explore the answers thoroughly before you decide.  This will be easy enough for analytic people who cannot be tied to one option.  Mercury retrograde will seem like a great time.

For the bottom-liners, those of you who like to get to the point (oops –should have mentioned this earlier in the discussion!)  – listening carefully, reflecting and asking questions may be a challenge.

Having to make decisions during MRx can trigger any poor decision-making patterns that no longer serves you.  This is where healing sessions, such as the Aligned for Mercury Retrograde online session(for a short video) that Julie and I offer,  can actually help during a Mercury retrograde.  By looking at the patterns underlying our decision-making and healing them we can resonate with our Mercury Retrograde Focus of Consciousness aligning with the best of this astrological period.

Mercury is Retrograde from March 12 – April 4th

Align for Mercury Retrograde and Take Time for Reflection

The overall general theme of Mercury retrograde is about reflection. It offers us a time to be more reflective about life on planet earth, to contemplate and to create order by eliminating things that block our clarity. Therefore it is generally a good time to write, edit meditate, retreat and organize.

Based on the sign it is in at the time it makes this journey, we find more specific direction about what is required at this time. This period of Mercury Retrograde will be in the sign of Aries retrograding back to Pisces. I will write more about the theme of this particular one soon.

Blessings
