GETTING READY FOR MERCURY RETROGRADE AND MERCURY GANDANTA

Eyes in the sky: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio from November 25th to December 15th

Mercury will be retrograde in November 25th 21:39EST

Everyone cringes at the thought of Mercury retrograde, but it’s not bad for anyone and it gets a lot of bad press. Since you all know about Mercury retrograde, I wanted to share some new things. First, if you were born with Mercury retrograde, you are right-brained, spatially aware, recognize patterns, and are not logical. It will be interesting to observe whether you need to become more intuitive rather than logical during Mercury Retrograde.

Second, Mercury retrograde is not bad for all rising signs. It is most difficult for the rising signs of Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Capricorn, Aquarius and Sagittarius because of the ownership of the house involving the 6th, 8th, 12th and even 7th house lords. In fact, it makes Virgo and Gemini stronger physically, but perhaps even stronger internally.

Mercury retrograde is in Scorpio, your house of enemies, so you may find yourself repeating arguments and arguments with friends that you thought were settled. You have to be careful of controversies, and the Moon in Gemini or Mercury/Mars relationship in Scorpio rising is the house of friends in the 6th house transiting, so driving a car and having a Mars period Be especially careful if you are running it.

Transit of Mercury from rising sign or Moon is considered good if it is in 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th or 10th or 11th house from Moon or rising sign. So, if your rising sign or moon is in Libra, Leo, Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Capricorn, it is considered a good transit. Gets two affliction aspects, including a wider aspect from Saturn at 18 degrees, which falls exactly on December 6th, and Rahu, which is within 3 degrees at most, when Mercury is at 12 degrees Scorpio on December 15th. Not yet. Being a depositor in Scorpio, it is affected by debilitated Mars. There is also Paravarthana Yoga between Ketu in Virgo and Mercury in Scorpio as Ketu is co-owner of Scorpio. So Mercury returns to Virgo and gains some power. .

Mercury and Mars are associated through Mercury in Scorpio, which can lead to conflicts and aggressive arguments, making you too self-centered and ruthless. Awareness in this regard will be important because debates about who is right become ego-centered affairs that justify one’s position and lock us into one position and do not allow us to see other points of view. . In the coming months, listen more and be open to understanding and integrating other people’s perspectives.

As always, back up your computer early, finish any letters, marketing or business transactions early today, be verbose with your communications, and expect to receive email, phone messages, and text messages. Please don’t. Most of all, Mercury is like the Greek god Hermes and wants you to laugh when things go wrong, so be patient. He is a trickster so just smile, accept and be patient. Just know it ends by November 3rd. These 22 days may seem like an eternity to some, but smile!!

Mercury Gandanta:

The last 27 to 30 degrees of Scorpio is called the Stingertail and lies in Gandanta, which literally means drowning. Mercury will transit through this area of ​​Scorpio during an unusual period from November 21st to 30th. This can bring out deep karmic patterns if ruled by Mercury, i.e. Gemini and Virgo rising, and it can be an intense period for transformation.

The end of Scorpio is about letting go of the material and reading the spiritual changes of Moula. It can be a psychologically and emotionally intense period. The last degree, 29.12-29.59, is the most difficult part of the journey, and it won’t happen until the second pass on January 4, 2025. There are deep knots here that need to be untied in order for spiritual growth to occur. Keep your eyes peeled for the week of November 21-30, as this is where the emotional upheaval may be greatest. This is also Navamsha in Pisces and with Mercury in debilitation, logical thinking may not work well so you will have to rely on your intuition. Please continue your meditation and yoga here. If you don’t, you may feel very vulnerable. The feeling of not being supported may relate to friends, as Mercury is the sign or karaka of friends and relatives. Use this transit to address issues of fundamental change.
