Jeff Jawer:Answers Within and Mercury Retrograde

Answers Within: Last week’s Full Moon reminded me that the powers of perception and change are within us. It’s understandable to feel fear about the economy, especially if you are already suffering from its contraction. This is not an abstract idea or some danger that arises suddenly by a natural or human made disaster. It’s a constant, on-going reminder that the world has changed. The intense astrological patterns of the present and near future suggest that we are engaged in something more serious than a short-term bump in the road. The stressful opposition between resistant Saturn and rebellious Uranus will continue through July 2010. Saturn will form a stressful 90-degree square to Pluto this November that kicks off a powerful line-up of four outer planets in conflicting cardinal signs that peaks in 2010. OK, so there are enough real world and planetary bogeymen to scare the bejesus out us, but what good will surrendering to fear do. The answers, my friends, are not blowin’ in the wind, they are burgeoning within. (more…)

Karyl Jackson:Mercury Retrogrades for 2009

Mercury Retrogrades for 2009

In 2009, Mercury retrogrades four times, starting the retrograde in air signs then going back into earth signs. The change in mental attitudes, information and perceptions are going to go back to review the earth aspects, which means that we will be changing and adjusting our thinking and re-organizing an important area of our life. Because 2009 is universally an ELEVEN / TWO year (in numerology), this Mercury retrograde process becomes important in the major adjustments as we move into relationships and shifting our journey with others coming and others going. Partnerships in different areas of our lives become the theme and the area of adjustments all the way through 2009. Important to our new journey are those that share a common path, we can walk along the road together toward specific goals, accomplishments and purpose. Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and communications about our direction. The adjustments that are slated to occur in 2009 are in air signs and then changing to only earth signs; Aquarius/Capricorn (in Jan/Feb), Gemini/Taurus (in May), and Libra/Virgo (in Sept), At the end of 2009 with Mercury retrograde occurs from December 26th through January 15th and is completely in the earth sign of Capricorn. This transitions into the remaining retrogrades of 2010 to impact only the earth signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. (more…)

Karyl Jackson:What does Mercury Retrograde mean and how does it impact you?

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and decisions about our issues and adjust our new direction as we move into 2009. The adjustments of Mercury retrograde typically occur three times a year (four in 2009) and become similar to a course correction during the flight from one destination to another. The adjustments that occur during Mercury retrograde typically have a theme that occurs all year long, shown by the elements of the signs affected. In 2009 the adjustments that are slated to occur during the retrogrades begin in air signs and return back to earth signs. Thus these Mercury retrogrades take our ideas, decisions and attitudes about specific events and utilize the information to put new processes, contracts,and the like into place. (more…)
