Mercury Retrograde
Part 2
by Nancy R. Fenn

Page: 1 2

All of this changes when Mercury goes retrograde. Like it or not, the focal length changes, the lens opens and information pours in. I didn't realize how irritated I am with my wife. I can't believe I've been ignoring that leak in the water heater for so long. What on earth am I going to do about that lost file? Why didn't my order ever go through on such-and-such? Wow, I never noticed how good looking our new UPS man was before!

That's one reason this transit is so disruptive. You˜re not the only one who's having trouble concentrating. So is the mailman, the bank officer, the mayor, the governor and the president.

One Greek myth has young Mercury stealing Apollo's cattle. Not easy to do under the eyes of the Sun God. How did our trickster get away with it? He walked backward over his own tracks in the sand. Keep that image in mind during the next retrograde. You are Mercury. You are the Sun God. And you are the cattle.

Mercury retrogrades for around three weeks but the first 11 days are the hardest. We're processing a flood of new information plus getting subconscious reminders to review issues that have been dormant since the last retrograde three months ago. That's the part about walking backwards over the same territory. These issues need to be reviewed and new thoughts on them also have to be integrated with the new information we're perceiving about our current issues. You can see there are many levels to the way we process important information about our lives. There are many currents in the ocean of the mind.

We also move from conscious, linear and logical data processing to the favorite ways of the unconscious " dreams, symbolic or synchronistic occurrences, Freudian slips and messages from strange places or strange people. Ever had someone in line at the supermarket solve your whole life for you and walk away?

During a recent retrograde, my client was having trouble in her long term relationship. She had been separated for a few weeks and her boyfriend was returning home. She felt ambivalent. While we were talking on the phone, a hawk crashed through her living room window. This message from the natural world helped my client to see her very real distress at the thought of her boyfriend returning. It helped her to see she wasn't ambivalent at all!

There is another time when the mind is operating on two channels at once. Driving while talking on a cell phone is like trying to be two different places at one time. Driving is a right brain activity where we basically look for patterns and spaces. Talking on the phone is a left brain activity. Ever try rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time? Who's watching the traffic?

Especially during a Mercury retrograde, please don't talk on your cell while driving. Your chances of causing an accident multiply radically.

Now that you know more about Mercury retrograde and the bigger reasons behind it, help spread the word. While cars stall, phones go dead, answering machines bleep and faxes die, important information is coming in unexpected ways. Please pay attention! There's going to be a quiz.
