Mercury Retrograde

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Mercury has gone direct today and perhaps like me, you have noticed some loosening up on communication and electronic devises. Most participating members have planets and points of interest ( Kelly’s north node; communication about her goals and self expression) at or around 26 degrees (Eric ; his yod) and so should notice it in more then one way mccoy has natal Venus ( for love and socializing ) at about 26 degrees. Mercury is in a good position for Joy as well over her midheaven accentuating her contacts in the world in communication while planning her marriage.

Mercury has been retrograde now for a while. I wonder if anyone else has noticed? I have found no one is getting my emails. And recently a friend even told me I’ve been sending emails to the wrong address. Many people are not responding and I’m wondering if mccoy is ok because we haven’t even seen him on the site recently. Sent several messages to both Art and Eric here. I’m in no hurry, I feel as though guides are working on an internal level to get my notice. Also have become more aware of how communication has effected the friendships I’ve had over the years. And have been spending a lot of time understanding how communication has been suppressed so people, friends and the government can hide 🙈 their own secrets and agendas.

Although, I have noticed is this; Mercury is the planet of communication and when retrograde it denotes a lot of introspection and re evaluation of communication. Even our musical communication here at the portal has recently been about our musical communication with past composers and compositions. A backward look in time, typical of Mercury retrograde. I’ve found that I’m recognizing a lot more ‘communication from the cosmos’ What Eric called a manipulation of reality from higher sources, and our perceptions about this reality are being ‘reflected and re-evaluated’. For instance more 11:11 experiences. I’ve noticed this because of not getting what people here on earth have told me they have sent, or a drying up of communication that I have received back when sending things. And yes mechanical and electrical things are breaking down during this period. The four wheel drive quit working in the car. The coffee maker cracked in several places and stopped working.

Yet i have observed reality has been acting very strangely around me. Sometimes I get this feeling I’m really in some kind of dream and my regular notions of reality are breaking down. Not that I’m having psychotic episodes, but rather my notions of reality are breaking down. When going to the store yesterday I spent almost an hour just attempting to get points resolved that were due to me for buying things. I told the representative that despite all her cliches about ‘sorry you are experiencing this, our computer system is down’  computer and electronic issues are common when Mercury goes retrograde. I thought it was unreasonable to make me wait on the phone a half hour and deal with this issue an hour. I was routed to a supervisor and the phone line wa eventually cut off completely. Never did get the points to use, but ended up at another store where I got a deal on an item.

Mercury is retrograde in Capricorn also so we have a communication slow down in most world affairs. Ukrainians are not getting more war relief. Israel and Gaza have not come to any peaceful resolution. Trumps criminal cases appear to be going to the Supreme Court. To name a few.

On a personal level, I’ve also been doing so much reflection - which is a mercury retrograde function - on all the times in my life I’ve had messages from the universe that have showed there  are forces beyond are limited awareness that ‘miraculously’ bend our sense of reality and consciousness,to show us just how much we are living in our own personal dream realities that are part of a larger dream weaved around us all.

This whole phenomena of Mercury Retrograde is leading me right back to my astrological interest in other planets Retrograde in natal charts, and slower planets Retrograde in transit. Mercury has so much to do with perception and it’s higher octave-Uranus-is also retrograde now. This is leaving us with a higher awareness, through introspection, just how much we are in a world a of confusing dream like images that we have been dream walking in and not recognizing the truth of our notions of reality.

Thanks Steve,

I'm noticing a lot of spiritual pressure at this time- in my self and in others. Bullheadish-ness. But in the adversity I am finding there is an element to play with that would be beneficial if I can learn from it, as marring as it is upon my consciousness. And I say it that way, because I have an ego that is constantly being chastised in the process. And I am not always successful at navigating those moments of intensity when someone projects their anger into me. And there are real moments in my self I find disagreeable.

It would appear that many people at this time are considering the manner in which we communicate, experiencing deep introspection- and even contemplating things like an ascension process and interdimensional beings. I just saw a segment with Tucker Carlson coming out and saying he believes we're being influenced by interdimensional beings.

Though times can be tough, I feel it is an opportunity. And I think at some point we made an agreement to come here and struggle through the adversity in order to better understand God. At least, that's how I'm choosing to look at it. And God is giving us a great opportunity, and we can find an equally great appreciation for these retogrades... Even though they can be relatively unpleasant at times.

Considering consciousness is all there is, and we are a part of a greater being, I used to think these kind of moments were experienced en masse. Like, all the life that resides in this specific region of time and space are hit with celestial waves- planetary movements being a similar imagery where these functions serve the microcosm, a particular set of lessons/experiential wisdom. Whether that's true or not, I can say definitively I see others around me and online considering these particular dynamics at this time.

Jai gurus and thanks for bringing the gurus, spirit guides and angels into our presence on these rather introverted days which require introspection! The beginning of winter and Jupiter, Chiron, Mercury as well as Uranus are retrograde. Everything has even slowed down on the international level.

Right now we are two days past the solstice, which in Indian astrology, is basically the new year, however, similar to the concept of mercury “retro shade”, it has a warm up period… so the calendar new year starts about the time the day start getting longer more significantly..

Well Art you would know about communication. It has been changing so much for you in the recent several years. And the lingering affect of Pluto over your natal Mercury and it’s transformative impact is now manifesting in your communication with others. It ‘s nice to have you back with us Brother. It’s more difficult to rise above thought with the Sun so close to Mercury in the same sign. But still Pluto has made it much more likely for the whole mental perspective to be changed during this transition you’ve witnessed, over the last few years. A lot of deepening of the mental activity is the direct result. How many people get the transformation of the ego and mind’s activity by a Pluto transit over their Sun and Mercury in a life time and also Moon! We hope you share some of your insights.

Yes many world events have slowed down to almost a standstill. But the new term you have introduced us to will begin at the beginning of our new year - thanks for telling us about India’s New Year!

Retroshade of Mercury begins at the beginning of 2024. It’s depth of affect on our awakening consciousness drifting through the cold winter atmosphere we’ve all experienced, to some degree, on a worldwide scale, recently. The aftermath of Mercury’s retrograde, which is otherwise known as ‘Retroshade’.
