Mercury has been retrograde since February 6th it will go direct the last day of February. It has really slowed some things down for me but I appreciate the time to meditate, myself and friends.
What does go direct mean?
Hello Spiritimage Mercury going direct is what happens after Mercury has gone retrograde (backwards) stationary (stops) and then direct (forward). At this time things seem to move again. Issues become resolved.
Imagine that you are moving in a forward motion and then you move by an object that is also moving. That object looks like it has moved backwards which is retrograde. If we move far enough from an object it eventually looks like it has slowed down (stationary) in its backward motion. When we have reached a place in the curve where we can see that the object was not really going backwards nor was it slowing down. It was just moving slower than us. At that point we see that the object is moving forward or direct in relation to objects around us. This phenomena also takes place if for instance you are in a train and you pass another train along the way. It is actually an illusion. Yet life is full of illusions. Many of them have a significance and quite literally affect our lives.
Sometimes we meet people like this. They create an illusion or fantasy. We accept the illusion as a reality. Then after a while things
slow down. We try to make sense of what we encountered. We may even be confused. After a while events clear things up and we are able to see more clearer.
When this applies to objects of nature we may call it anthropomorphism. Yet there are forces of nature such as animal totems that hold significant meaning in our lives. Just as symbols in our dreams have meaning so do objects in our so called waking state which is also a dream state to those who our enlightened.
The significance of Mercury's apparent motion is quite evident in our daily lives. When Mercury goes direct it again looks like it is moving forward and the events of our lives pick up again. All types of messages and communication opens up again.
