Surviving and Thriving Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius
Have you noticed blips in communications this week? Emails going astray? Appointments missed? Sleepless nights with your mind racing?
Mercury retrograde gets a bad press, but it can offer us a shift in perspective.
Mercury goes retrograde 3 times a year and is well known as The Trickster playing havoc with communications.
Beforehand we are advised to back up our computers and delay buying a new phone/computer or signing contracts until Mercury moves direct again. Also, he may trip us up with glitches – computers crash, we lose our mobile phone or it’s stolen, emails don’t arrive, we are clumsy verbally and cause offence, we jump to wrong conclusions and have to back down and admit we were wrong, we miss meetings, plans go awry, travel arrangements scramble.
Mercury is the fastest moving planet in our solar system, and information bombards us every day. In Mercury retrograde periods we are being asked to slow down and absorb the messages, to digest and take stock.
Mercury is the weaver between the opposites, like the snakes which wind around the healing staff or caduceus.
His job is to assist travellers on the path of awareness, and to keep the energy moving so that situations develop to fruition, ideas are generated, and important communications are facilitated, both inwardly and outwardly.
What Retrograde means
An analogy is that retrograde is just like driving a car. The first time you drive down a road you don’t look at what’s going on. Then as you reverse you really have to look at the road. Then once you drive forward again you know the territory. When Mercury goes retrograde on November 26th it will start this reverse process.
Mercury retrograde is an inward journey. Each year the retrogrades occur in the same element. This year Mercury retrogrades in the fire signs.
We began with Mercury retrograde in Aries in April. Then in August it went back briefly into Virgo and back into Leo. Now it retrogrades in Sagittarius in November and December.
Fire signs are the realm of intuition. When Mercury is in Sagittarius, it embodies a broader, more philosophical approach to communication.
