Mercurial Energy at the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse can wipe out energy, which has been the case for me, hence this newsletter is late. On the day of a lunar eclipse the advise is not to start anything new, the same applies for the Solar Eclipse which occurs on 10th June. So be gentle with yourself.
Be kind, don’t push yourself, you are meant to rest, to take naps.
Tune in to your Magician, in the tarot he rules all 4 elements, pentacle (earth), sword (air), cup(water) and wand (fire). Mercury travels through Gemini from May 4th right up until July 11th!
- As Mercury weaves its magic through its home sign of Gemini we are in for a treat.
- Mercury retrograde in Gemini begins on May 29th.
- Gemini is the sign of the twins, governed by Mercury. Gemini is great at asking questions-the Archetype of The Journalist- and being inquisitive. Gathering information and asking questions is all important in order for us all to reach good decisions. The problem occurs when there is information overload-the overcrowded email box is just one example.
- The negative side of Gemini is a short attention span and a low boredom threshold.
Mercury is also known as the Trickster.
As Mercury will make 3 squares to Neptune in Pisces during its transit through Gemini, this can have a destabilising influence. Neptune is the God of the Sea and combined with Mercury can be seduced by fantasy and illusion. Be aware of any get rich quick schemes, or scam phone calls or emails. Scandals are also associated with Neptune.
I would caution against signing contracts with Neptune involved, especially if you are buying a house. You may end up being gazumped. Best to wait until next year when Jupiter is full strength in Pisces.
These squares are May 23rd, June 5th and July 6th.
Gemini rules the logical side of the brain, Jupiter the right intuitive side. When Mercury moves retrograde there are more opportunities for us to slow down, to reflect, digest information and edit.
This period is a good time to ask the right questions, to take a step back to see the bigger picture.
It’s also wise to backup data and update your browser. Make sure any contracts you need to sign are carefully read.
