Mercury went direct at 9:15AM here in Toronto last September 29th. Today I can finally feel the breeze of a new energy as the retrograde period dims in my memory. I have to share my last AMR encounter, something delivered by the trickest lest I forget its presence.
Unconsciously, I left my bank card in the bank machine earlier in the week, likely at the peak of the retrograde. Luckily (and I consider this the alignment part), the machine ate my card after I had walked away, – an unexpected security feature of this bank. I didn’t actually realize my card was missing until 5 days later and still in the retrograde frequency, and was told by officials to get it replaced at the bank in person with 2 pieces of ID. So I contentedly went to the bank and presented my passport, but unbelievably my second photo ID – a pouch containing my drivers license and other important stuff was just GONE!!!! Gone from my purse. I looked and looked and looked again. It was not there. Luckily a non photo ID was accepted by the bank.
Frantically, I rced home, and spent the next hour retracing my steps of the last 7 days. “Where could it have gone”- I wondered. The one possibility was a grocery store I had been in the same day as loosing my card. Perhaps I had left the pouch on the counter when I paid. So while waiting for my sleuthing sister who was helping with this search, I called Julie for some astrological advice for the panic strickened. Her description of my chart at that moment was hilarious but true. I was very scattered and the moon void of course day didn’t help. She said urgency was of the essence and to move quickly. It was encouraging words that suggested I had a window of opportunity to find my ID. I yelled to my sister “Hurry up -we have to go NOW” and made a bolt for my purse to looked inside and grab my car keys. Instead my eyes landed on my missing pouch with the ID. It was as though the trickster was right there laughing his fool head off.
So the aligned part was happily finding all that was lost without the worst possible disasters.
My thanks to Julie for her wisdom!
With Love and light

Julie says of this Mercury Retrograde…” After it reenters Taurus (see below) there is a sense of wanting to challenge empty promises and sort through till you find what is really real.”

Julie Simmons writes… ” Every Mercury retrograde period has its own flavor. This one starts out with Pluto as its spice and ends up with more than a dash of Saturn. As we move toward the end of the year and into 2010 these planets will engage with each other in a more intense way. Mercury is giving us a glimpse of this over the next 3 weeks. Saturn = Status quo; the limits of matter. Pluto = the end of one way and the beginning of another. Mercury = the alchemist or the trickster depending on how you see it, travelling back and forth between the two. Contrary to what many people choose to believe this is not a period to shut down and wait for bad things to happen. It is a time to open yourself to synchronicity as you clean out your closets, edit or reflect deeply on the quality of your inner life.”
