Mercury in Sagittarius, Mercury in
aspect to Jupiter or Mercury in the 9th, knows a bit about
the phrase, “Speak your truth.”
This doesn't always make them the most
popular in the crowd. And, it doesn't make their truth equivalent to
your truth. However, neither of these two factors will keep them from
speaking it unless there is some type of inhibiting aspect going on.
Mercury in Scorpio will begin
retrograde on Oct 21st at 18 degrees. It's as if the
messenger approaches a connection with some type of higher truth
(Jupiter), and says, “Wait a minute. Lets back up and think about
this.” Then, down the rabbit hole he goes. The trine is
waxing but does not perfect while both planets are in direct motion
in Scorpio and Cancer.
Mercury retraces his steps all the way
back to 2 degrees Scorpio before turning direct on November 11. On
this backward journey, he passes over the upcoming new moon eclipse
point of November 3 (11 degrees 16 minutes) before it happens, meets
up with the Saturn, passes over the North Node, trines Neptune and
even retraces the Full Moon eclipse point from this past spring. See
the dates at the end of this write up for more information.
Add to this, a fact a mentioned before,
that not only are our minds (Mercury) in a Mars ruled sign (Scorpio)
but our motivations (Mars) lie in a Mercury ruled sign (Virgo) until
Mars passes from Virgo to Libra on December 8, 2013, and what you
have is a whole lot of information and a whole lot of motivation to
get to more information. While Mercury is retrograde, this process is
largely internalized. We meet up with forces that may keep us from
sharing our insights we get from the depths during Mercury Rx with
communication delays, phone problems, computer problems, etc. The
point IS to internalize and consider all that has happened. Slow down
and pick through the information through contemplation, maybe
meditation, and to pay very close attention to what we are getting
through intuitive sources rather than external tangible sources.
Mercury (our truth) and Jupiter (our
higher truth) are both in water signs. Emotions and intuition play
key roles in discovering our own personal truths and higher truths.
To facilitate this process, it is helpful to engage in grounding
activities (particularly during Mercury RX and when Mercury or Mars
aspects Neptune), keep yourself hydrated and reduce your intake of
stimulants (these can confound the already “on fire” nature of a
double Mars/Mercury contact), be around water and fortify (Jupiter)
your emotional (Cancer/Moon) base.
By the time Mercury reaches his trine
with Jupiter on November 28th, we will have learned quite
a bit. The eclipses of this fall would have began unfolding and
refolding. We may know things that we had never contemplated prior to
this. Then, by the time Mercury reaches Sagittarius on December 6th,
we may just be ready to take to our soap boxes and preach about it.
Or, at the very least, share it with others.
What is the point in all of this? I
think a person with Mercury and Sun conjunct in Sagittarius in his
12th house may be able to tell us a little bit about it.
Or perhaps we could learn a bit just by listening to what someone with Mercury conjunct his Sun in Sagittarius in the second illustrates to us without words.
For your reference Mercury makes 3
passes over the new moon eclipse point of November 3.
First past (direct) October 9, 2013
Second pass (retrograde) October 31-Nov
1, 2013
Third pass (direct) November 22, 2013
Mercury also makes 3 passes to the Full
Moon eclipse point which occurred this past Spring on April 25th
at 5 degrees and 46 minutes of Scorpio. Dates for these passes:
First pass (direct) October 4, 2013
Second Pass (retrograde) November 5,
2013
Third pass (direct) November 17, 2013
Mercury makes three passes to Saturn in
Scorpio. Dates for these passes:
First pass (direct) October 8, 2013 at
10 degrees 52 minutes Scorpio
Second pass (retrograde) October 29,
2013 at 13 degrees 19 minutes Scorpio
Third pass (direct) November 25 at 16
degrees 34 minutes Scorpio
Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on
November 11, 2013. Jupiter turns retrograde on November 7. Mercury in
Scorpio (moving direct) perfects his trine with Jupiter RX in Cancer
on November 28 at 19 degrees and 47 minutes
