With Mercury in retrograde now, everything seems to go the opposite of what we expect. Mercury is the messenger and god of communication and travel. When Mercury travels backwards in the sky, where we want to go and what we want to communicate gets confused with obstacles. We can expect resistances every way we turn.
To add to this condition, the four major planets that rule our inner feelings: Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn have united their influences with Mecury. This means a lot of inner turmoil, confusion, and emotion. But these four planets also represent our spiritual goals, what we aspire to become in the future. Behind all of this inner drama, there is a mighty force moving us to make decisions about our future that we have postponed for a long time. The universe wants us to take our steps and will support us to do it if, and only if, we take a step in the right direction. If everything you are trying to do isn’t working, then look inside and see what you really want to be doing. What is your dream? What is that thing you have always wanted to become but never had the courage to step out and do it?
