Does Mercury Retrograde make you anxious? Repatterning can help. Read our latest blog post.
The energy for all your efforts will flow more smoothly during these times if, where possible you postpone taking new initiatives, launching new projects, taking major trips, signing contracts or buying big things. Sometimes of course this is not possible in which case you want to be aware of all the details, do your research and make sure you aren’t acting out of fear or desperation. An astrologer can give you specific details of how this influence will play out in your life.
Generally, it’s a great time to take stock and put things in order. Remember, to every cycle there is a beginning middle and an end. To make a smooth transition from one period to the next it is helpful to appreciate where we have been, name our regrets, and revise our plans before moving forward. Often after a busy period of launching a new project, working extended hours, and pushing the envelope on life, our environment suffers. Your desk may be a mess, you’ve put off routine maintenance tasks or have not had time to get things fixed. A Mercury retrograde period can make for a very elegant transition period. Cleaning out closets and drawers, organizing your home and office, getting things fixed or repaired are all great Mercury retrograde activities. It’s an excellent time to edit your life.
So before starting the next year, use these dates to plot and strategically arrange important events such as major purchases and significant business initiatives. Use the retrograde periods to actively plan, evaluate, and put life back in order.
Your questions, comments and insights are welcomed.

Mercury is Retrograde December 10th 2010
Watch for the moon eclipse during this Mercury retrograde
Mercury is retrograde in Capricorn and goes back to Sagittarius when it goes direct. There are a lot of tangles in this particular retrograde period. It makes the retrograde station on December 10th very close to Pluto and the North Node as well as Mars. (Mars catches up between the 12th and 15th of December). This indicates that the best of intentions need to be patiently and seriously reconsidered. There could be reasons that we should do this which have to do with far reaching consequences. The sense of ambition to achieve a goal is very strong but the time is not quite yet.
As Mercury travels its retrograde path it will then square Uranus (December 21st) and Jupiter (December 22nd). This reminds us that we are a planet on the brink. On the 21st there is a visible Full Moon eclipse at 2:12 AM, in the last degree of Sagittarius. as well as Winter Solstice at 6:39 PM the same day. This is a strong statement of endings and beginnings. It suggests that we are feeling the tension of changes that must be made but the retrograde feeling is that we are not quite ready.
After Mercury goes direct many of these issues will hopefully resolve themselves with care and consideration of all involved parties.
