Thursday Sun
connects with Mercury retrograde, which shines the light onto the major issues
surrounding this Mercury retrograde. Sun
highlights the communication and information that is key during this time. Reviewing, revising and reassessing
information comes into play. Typically
Sun connecting to Mercury provides a commitment that has been building and
connects with signing on the dotted line.
However with Mercury retrograde, the decisions will become a two or
three-part process, with the mental decisions being made, but a follow-up time
will be required once Mercury turns direct.
The important element with this Sun connection to Mercury on Thursday is
that the next day, Friday Mercury connects with Venus, handing the information
to Venus to provide solutions. However,
Sun doesn’t connect with Venus until October 25th, the same day that Mercury turns
direct. This creates the need to work
toward solutions and bringing in the natural fix for the partnership and
relationship issues emerging at this time.
This series of aspects becomes important as the information that rolls into Thursday becomes key to the resolutions with partnership and the shifts that are happening. On Friday as Mercury connects with Venus, information rolls into place that becomes important in the transitions that are happening during this Mercury retrograde. The Libra elements impact partnerships, relationships and the connectivity of people coordinating efforts in a particular direction. This connection with people becomes an important component to this Mercury retrograde as by the end of the day, Friday, Jupiter connects with Moon bringing promise into the day from following the creative pursuits and expressions.
As Mercury
continues to roll behind the Sun, trust
and faith are needed to know that situations are working behind the
scenes. Without this, there is a
tendency to react to the inability to see situations coming together. This is also when the strange aspects of
Mercury retrograde appear with the dysfunction of electronics, computers, cell
phones, traffic patterns and the like.
Double checking communication becomes important during this time as Mercury
behind the Sun creates confusion in what we hear and say. Having trust and faith that situations are
coming together goes far to create the calm during this Mercury retrograde
phase.
