Mercury will be stationing retrograde from October 3rd to October 25th in Scorpio. A reflective opportunity to look back and gain insights that will allow us the ability to see things from a different angle.
We turn to a true expert in Mercury Retrograde, the always visionary Robert Wilkinson, from his Aquarius Papers to gain insights as to what this retrograde might bring. Professor Wilkinson says:
“Yes, it’s THAT time again! Mercury is radically slowing down, preparing to go stationary retrograde at 3 Scorpio on Oct 3, 10:02 am PDT, 1:02 pm EDT, 6:02 pm Greenwich (BST). This has important implications for all signs…”
“Until then, adapt to the slowing pace of things, be willing to put some things on hold for a little while, and take a look at what’s been set into motion up to now with an eye to seeing what has to be done before things can again move forward in late October.
“I know there are many unfortunate things attributed to Mercury retrograde, but there are also many productive things that get done, connections that are made, and different angles of view glimpsed that make our understanding more complete and well rounded…”
“The coming retrograde will be an extremely important one showing us how to feel a deeper connection with others, learn cooperation, and give us one look back so we can get clear about how to use the wisdom of our 2011-2012 experience to a) repair something, b) reconstruct something to get a different view of what happened and why, and/or c) find peace in having overcome old dramas we no longer need to be involved in.
“We can get a new look at recent balance or imbalances in our relationships, and receive blessings from Spirit once we’re willing to ‘let go, let God,’ especially if it involves old resentments and unnecessary limitations.
“We can get new insights into old feelings, desires, losses, legacies, and prior unfair situations in self and others. Some will get flashes into old conflicts in desires, or cross currents between our magnetism and others’ magnetism. This will lead to new perspectives over the next several weeks…”
“As Mercury goes retrograde in the Water sign of Scorpio, pay attention to reflections, returns, and new insights into the emotional intelligence that you’ve been cultivating since June 2013. This is the second review in 2014 of the Feeling-awareness we all experienced from the time of the Grand Water Trines of June, July, and August 2013 through this past Spring. This can give us a new perspective on what’s shifted since then, and will show us how to be more cooperative in our social interactions.”
