Mercury Retrograde Born this way.

Are you a natural born Mercury Retrograder? 

Mercury travels Retrograde annually three times a year from 3- 6 weeks at a time. That is equal to around 1/3 of the year which is equal to the amount of sleep we need every night.

How do you know if you were born during a Mercury Retrograde?

 Go to Astro.com and put in your birth info. its free. Even if you don’t know your birth time exactly you can still find out if Mercury {or the other planets} were travelling Retrograde. There will be a small R or Rx symbol beside the planet.

Statistically 18%-30%  of the population are born under this aspect.  You are not alone, you are in a very special group. You are a very creative thinkers. Your consciousness is finally tuned. It is a naturally more intuitive and receptive way to cogitate.  

Natural born  Mercury Retrogrades always think outside the box. Yes there is something naturally Uranian about them you could say. They don’t think like “normal” people. They don’t feel understood most of the time.  They stand out as creative thinkers, innovators, designers, artists, and invaluable resources as writers, philosophers and imaginations. Dostoevsky and Buckmister Fuller are in this group.

People with Mercury Retrograde take in information differently. Usually they are insecure, unsure or ignorant about how smart they are. Most Mercury Retrograde people are often labelled as A.D.D. or A.D.H.D.   Some people with this position struggle with doubts about their own perceptions. Mercury Retrograde peeps do a lot of double-checking and revising information and ideas before communicating. They would make great editors naturally. 

Of course how you express yourself, your concepts and ideas depends on which Sign Mercury was Retrograding in at birth. Check this out.

Mercury Retro in fiery Aries – A cool Hot head

is beneficial as it slows down the brash, too impulsive and reckless “off with their heads” of this placement. This allows you to not cut off the other person’s words mid-sentence. Instead of arguing you can simmer in the fire of hot ideas before boiling over. 

Merc Retro in earthy Taurus – sensuous no-bull

slows the mind down to extreme practicality. You speak very slowly, with a purposeful sensuous tongue. They can be very poetic creative and romantic. You like classical works  in literature, music and art. You are a great appraiser and appreciate fine art, wine, food and beauty. You make love with your mind.

Merc Retro in Gemini

Slows down the monkey-mind. Makes you an excellent debater, analyzer and go-between. It is easier for you to consider two possibilities and actually make up your mind about what you want. You are less of a gad-about and express yourself clearly when you want to.

Merc Retro in Cancer 

This brings the ability to be objective about your emotions, turning down the torrent to drips. You are very sentimental and always thinking of your childhood.  It is difficult for you to receive and ask for what you need. Expressing your vulnerability is important but not easy. 

Merc Retro in Leo

Beneficial as it harnesses the lower vanity and ego extravagances of Leo into a more humble modest speech maker. You may need to work on your courage. You have a big, shy heart which you may find difficult to express. You are one of those who always thinks young.

Merc Retro in Virgo

You endless go-over every detail with a very fine tooth comb. Which is a great asset for specific careers. A workaholic, you tend to be nervous and worried. You can let go of your need for perfection and let things go, this is healthier for you. You  could be extremely miserly with money.

Merc Retro in LIBRA

You would make a great event planner, lawyer, broker, matchmaker, bargainer and connection maker. You have a fondness for nostalgia. You like old-fashioned quality style in your home. You are elegant and seem timeless. You have vast friendships which lasts for many years. You can learn to trust your own decisions.

Merc Retro in Scorpio

You are cynical and suspicious and find it very difficult to trust. You manipulate everything around you. You need to learn to drop your defenses. You are a phenomenal researcher and a great detective. You see things to the absolute core in ways which no one else can. You truly have x-ray vision and no one can fool you.

Merc Retro in Sagittarius

Is beneficial as it enables you to think before you spill those all too truthful beans. Your wild side is held in check. You are extremely casual, carefree, accepting and easy-going. You can be largely self-taught. You yearn to have your own philosophy, book, outlook and to be on the absolute cutting edge of what’s new. You are always retelling travel stories. 

Merc Retro in Capricorn

You are very traditional and conservative in your thinking. You respect authority but also like to think about breaking the rules sometimes. You need to figure out how to carry out your own unique views. You are dry in your speech. You are always dreaming about being on top of the mountain. 

Merc Retro in Aquarius

Your mind has a very unique way of perceiving. You make an excellent innovator, inventor and pioneer who never misses a detail and can explain anything in myriad ways. Your concepts are extremely vast, you understand things from a large cosmic perspective. Space, power, energy, new technologies are your games. Your ideas are always ahead of their times. 

Merc Retro in Pisces- Deja vu Deja vu 

You are extremely intuitive and can combine logic and intuition easily. You can explain mystical things in practical ways. You  know how to turn your mind off and go into deep relaxed Theta states and trance out. You absorb new information like a sponge. You are dreamy creative and can tap into channeling anything.

During every Mercury Retrograde it’s your time to bask in the Retro rays.

it’s your time to be in your Mind groove. You are in perfect synch. The universe communicates the same way you do all the time now. You are in your flow review and go.

Inspirational Card, Mercury Retrograde Discovery and preparations

We’re in the MERCURY RETROGRADE SHADOW ALREADY since May 23

MERCURY GOES RETROGRADE on  JUNE 7 at 3 +degrees of CANCER and will scoot backwards until JULY 1, CANADA’s BIRTHDAY which  indicates some reviews, repeals, recalls there.  THE MESSENGER turns direct at 24 + degrees of GEMINI . But it’ll take until JULY 16 for Mercury to regain all those degrees before mind matters march forwards once again. But DO NOT PANIC.

MERCURY RETROGRADES I find are very positive for the statistically 33% of the population who are born under their effects. Why?

Because most of the time these folk’s brains simply don’t operate by the same OS as the majority of us who are stuck in the one direction forward only.

Has nothing to do with that boy band ONE DIRECTION.

MERCURY RETRO’s are highly creative, I know my husband is one. They are like the lefties of the world, creative, left brain oriented. Their minds are always taking a walk on the wild side. They groove to a different melody and march to a different drummer.  Kind of like honorary Aquarians.

Don’t be afraid of Mercury Retrograde. It is a mind rest time. REmember everything that stars with Re- is what to do during any Mercury REtrograde. RETRY. Especially going backwards in GEMINI re-reeling in the mind games people play.

2 planetary sign changes this week

SOFT ASPECTS MAY 27 except for

May 27 TAURUS MOON opposes Saturn in the night

Serious dreams this night. The Mood may be sombre. We are still in the wake of the terrible Elliot Rodgers slaughter. I am sending prayers.  So creepy listening to his VIDEO- it was out there in public and no one acted. It’s a huge subject.

so lets have a card to guide you

INSPIRATIONAL CARD OF THE DAY

Tarot knight of swords tara Greene

THE KNIGHT OF SWORDS from the ROBIN WOOD TAROT

SWORDS are the element of AIR, the mind, communication, Mercury’s realm. This fighting Knight  looks quite like Mercury with the winged helmet. He is literally up in the AIR flying high on a type of Pegasus, winged horse of the Greek Myths soaring high up in the sky. NOTE swords is- s-words. Literally words, communication, the vibration. The S word.

The KNIGHT of Swords is a warrior of words. Lofty ideas is one of his realms. Swords can cut and kill and also discriminate, they separate the wheat from the chaff.  With Mercury Retrograde in GEMINI especially we must be careful of ungrounded thinking; it’s all too “up in the air”. Mercury Retrogrades can make us feel as if we are losing our minds. It can be used as a great time for REcapitulation. Carlos Castenada claims this is an ancient TOLTEC or Yaqui Indian method which the nagual Don Juan taught him for erasing your emotional history and clearing oneself of old emotional charges. Sounds like that poor boy Rodgers s desperately in need of recapitulating his own emotional issues. I wish the world worked that way. Don’t you?

Given the recent events, there will be much talk about MENTAL STABILITY,  gun laws and regulations, weapons availability swords and knives are the favourite weapons in China, in the U.S. it is guns.  Women and men are outraged at these women hating sites. How many women need to be purposely stalked as animals? Why is this happening? We need a higher perspective such as this Knight offers.

SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION WATCH ME TUESDAY MAY 27 on DISCOVERY CHANNEL

 I am the PSYCHIC who was hired to journey all the way to FROSTBITE FALLS/ Fort Francis Canada and 4 hours beyond there and beyond there to literally the middle of nowhere to the old gold mine site last Autumn to advise these guys about what they were doing wrong and if ghosts had haunted the site affecting their luck. I have no idea how they will edit  and splice it but I know it will be funny. I can’t take myself too seriously all the time.

Tuesday, May 27 2014 8:30 pm EDT and 11:30 PM

Fool’s Gold
Todd brings a psychic on-site to help the Shotgun crew find the gold; but when the team makes a mockery of the meeting, things begin taking a turn for the worse.

Ground control, Who’s afraid of Mercury Retrograde?

It’s been a raucous few days hasn’t it? Aries Moon and the Cardinal Crosses activated.

I am having clients in various stages of life disillusionment because of this. I’m feeling it too.

How buot you?

The news brings wild stuff: Prostitution rings at Superbowl? I’ve read all the Woody Allen defenses and accusations to distill what’s what. Poor Philip Seymour Hoffman. 

MOON SHIFTS to GROUND CONTROL on WEDNESDAY till Friday.

Get down and tightly connected to the earth before it moves when Mercury shifts gears and backs up on Thursday at 4:43 pm EST. DO ALL YOUR LAST MINUTE TO DO’s now. 

DONT BE AFRAID of MERCURY RETROGRADE

Mercury Retrograde expalins Tara

It’s actually very mentally creative.

Did you know that statistically, 33% of the entire world population is born during a Mercury Retrograde period? You could be one of them and don’t even know it.

It’s a great time for all the Rx- RE- stuff,

reflecting, recycling, reviewing, renewing, rectifying, and it can be a healing, peaceful perfect MENTAL RELAXO time. SERIOUSLY. Just DON’T  buy new things, initiate new businesses, products or try to put your communications across and expect them to be heard clearly. You WILL RE-gret it. But DO finish off old projects and the like. It’s good for procrastinators and those born under any Mercury Retrograde time.

GIVE YOUR HEAD A BREAK. Don’t break your head.

Wed, Feb 5 MOON ENTERS bucolic Taurus  @ 1:47 am PST

It’s a  light ‘N easy SUPER HEALING DAY

SPRINKLES OF SEXTILES- life’s all GOOD for water and earth peeps

Bovine Moon sextiles Mercury Neptune & Chiron in PISCES the wounded healer.

Just be in your body and feel the sore, blocked and hurt parts Breathe into them and release.

BONUS PLUS!

JUPITER TRINE TO CHIRON February 5

amps up the large family wounds issues in the news.

Moon then sextiles Jupiter & Chiron.

There is a theme here.

Jupiter in CANCER Retrograde is going over the old childhood wounds, the Patriarchal wounds. The sins of the fathers. Jupiter is the Patriarchs and Justice. Justice can’t be emotionally though. That’s why LIBRA is the AIR sign of JUSTICE. The North Node will venture back into Libra soon for the next 1.5 years. Will Justice be served?

Will Justin Bieber get nailed?

Enjoy the grounded feeling Thursday as

MOON TRINES PLUTO and VENUS in Capricorn. INTENSE LOVE.

BIG RICHES! BIG PLUTOCRACY. RICH WOMEN WITH POWER to lord.

This is a super sensual proto-Valentine’s day. If you are not conventional than I’d stage my own personal V Day date under this aspect. It’s way better than the actual Feb 14th Full Moon in Leo aspects. more about that later. 

Moon opposes Saturn late Thursday. OUCH That’s really being bucked off the big bronco.

Taurus Red BULL Tara Greene

This is a quickie.
