So here we go with some severe Astro-Weirding – hands up if you’re feeling it already?

It’s the combo of Mercury going Retro in Pisces – slowing everything down to a crawl in the part of your scope where you’ve got Pisces AND the square from Jupiter, the impending Full Moon in Virgo + Persephone-Saturn shite.

It’s SO hyper…the Daily Horoscopes for Friday are up, a bit over the top as they’re take ALL the above into account and spit out genius solutions…

  1. great oracle on this site.. thanks… it. said to remove clutter so there is a clear path to my doorway
    i look down at the laneway at the back of the “studio” where i stay
    on closer investifgation the junk that the neighbours have left
    leading to doorway ,is year old rubbish mainly empty milk big cartons oozing with milk drippings ,out of the giant size garbarge bag, blocking the entrance….
    Been there for ages
    They are so ignorant.
    anyway…everything retro now so what to do??

    My feng shui has been of since i moved in here, its hectic or really quiet
    extreme pluto place. Had no energy or any decent abodes about
    and getting iron injections. I gotta resolve this as its not going away.
    Where you live is the foundation of your life if its not right it really
    does fuck with you.

    • so do I Joh – Saturn at 4 degrees (1st house) – so bouts of Saturn trine Saturn of late, Chiron at 18 and Moon at 26 (both second house). Gem Sun.

      I don’t know if I want it just to feel better – I want it to BE better.

    • Yikes.. I don’t know why this didn’t register with me but I have Saturn and Chiron in Pisces (5th hous). And yes I am tired! Tired! Tired… Cranky too! I was thinking today it feels like the Saturn transit that I went thru from Nov 2011 until October 2012. Bam.. right back to then where I was struggling big time. Ugh..

      I love my w/e’s.. I can get up and go but during the week I am struggling! [sigh]

      How long does last for?

      xo!!

  2. I’ve hurt my knee wrestling and was running late and feeling groggy from my habitual 4.am morning starts, am a granny by 8pm. The knee was bad, beyond bad, the mood, oh forget the mood. I have been a rubbish friend of late and must rectify things. Am convinced that my two best friends are not picking up the phone on purpose because I have been so rubbish of late. SO after wasting £40 on the worlds longest and stupidest cab ride across London
    (I am over my overdraft limit again but had cash fortunately)
    to support my friend and budding artist Dave at his 2nd ever exhibit last night-
    I twig
    I say, “it is Thursday today isn’t it?”
    to the driver
    knowing full well it’s WEDNESDAY today

  3. P.S. I do realise that it is NOW THURSDAY and have made plans to get there tonight. There were planned engineering works taking place on the particular tube /underground route I needed last night- hence the cab.
    Doh?

    • That sounds like a flag from your innermost self. If you need space and quiet, take it for yourself and sanity.
      Maybe a good screaming rant or a run in the woods/green spaces would be cathartic for you.

  4. Wow, having a terrible week! Two part-time jobs, then moving house – but the house we wanted to rent suddenly comes at a higher price than advertised, so not sure we can afford it in the long run. Boyfriend (Virgo) is totally over-worked and flipping at minuscule things (such as my disappointment when reading the contract – and not because of the contract but because of my reaction). Feeling low and possibly in need of an alter ego – an efficient one. ;-)

    • Hey True Scorpio.. Virgo Sun here and I have to say I am feeling just like your BF. Cranky, short tempered and tired. Hang in there!

      xo!

  5. Haven’t read my scopes yet, but definitely am already having Merc retro issues. Deleted a bunch of highly important documents by accident today. Still waiting for IT to recover them. Major fuq up! AND found out they are letting to one of the best team members we have due to budget cuts. He is one of THE guys in the know. They are going to lose a lot of vital knowledge. Major SNAFU will ensue when he is gone. But he was also one of the nice ones. A good guy and excellent a his job. Mega disappointed!

    • Read my scopes, spun the oracle. Fuq them both. Kataka: long distance attractions. Dating drought: a long distance communication changes everything. Taunting me!

      I’ll just stick to the rising sign: no mooning over your ex crap.

      …. And back into downward dog while ujjayi breathing.

        • I’m 99% certain the Universe is taunting me, not conspiring on my behalf. Possibly testing me…. See how well I can block him out of my mind.

  6. Looks like Merc is at 19 Pisces in the sky right now, and I have Mars and MC at 17 Pisces in my natal chart so…….Merc is gonna be backing up over that, like a car in reverse, but ever so slowly, eh? So it will be slowing things in my 10th house, in my career. Not so great, in a way, because I really need to find a new job because the grant is running out on my old one, but maybe what this will do is give me time to go inward to figure out what to do next, because I do need to figure something out……..Mars in Pisces is supposed to be good at strategy and logistics, so maybe this retro will put me in the planning stage, and will wait to act until the retro ends………….thoughts?

    I also have Moon at 7 degrees Pisces (will be in exact opposition to the upcoming whammy full moon)
    ..and I have Chiron at 26 degrees Pisces, exact trine Neptune at 26 Scorpio, if that helps.

    • Ah! Just read your Thursday daily, MM. You said ‘Visionary Pragmatism’. That’s exactly how I feel……except that, although I feel quite grounded, I do have some edges of fear and jittery-ness about potentially losing my job, but I think that’s only natural.

      • Oh I also have moon and mars in Pisces, I didn’t know the thing about strategy and logistics, I def feel the visionary pragmatism going on big time!

      • i think you’ve hit the nail on the head flowerchild – nice placement merc/mars and your MC! this retro phase could be great for revision, analysis, insight into past and future work paths.

  7. Am I a total weird arse? I’m feeling kind of freaking fabulous, Pisces rising natal Jupiter in Pisces, Sun in Sagg, moon in 6th house. Getting so much done and feeling very on top of things but maintaining the awareness that I got a long way to go. Plenty of challenges but feeling VERY strong. Doing Mark Lauren body weight exercises and been following Mark Sisson and various web paleo peps for the last 18 months. Work colleagues AT RANDOM giving me compliments, and not in a sleazy way. Yes have been keeping a dream journal. Visited the abyss last year, this year has been pretty rocking. Your advice has been very very useful MM. x.

  8. Well I am taking Merc Retro in Pisces over my MC as fantastic news!

    Yes, I am launching my little biz over the weekend the DAY it hits, but I figure the psychic/healing/intuitive world is inherently backwards.
    Thus all those brilliant writers with Merc Retro.

    Merc Retro – Long May You Reign!

    • You’re launching your psychic healing biz, over the Full Moon weekend with Merc Retro in Pisces?

      omg Andromeda i totally love it

      i’m going to put up my first batch of sale ads, and i’m starting with the weirdest ones. Seriously i do not know why but i just have to, you know?

      Best wishes xx

  9. It’s as if the Pisces and Sagittarius scopes for Friday have been true for me for the last two weeks.

    Which have also been like the longest two weeks of my life. I seriously cannot believe it was only two weeks ago this phoenixing step began. My sense of the time passing, i learned VERY late in life (had to train myself literally to get a feel for the number of minutes and hours, as i’m really circular or diffuse about time by nature, yet now i’m better at telling how long something will take than most people do. They always underestimate, then argue with me, then take as long as i said exactly.)

    Now my inner clock seems to have come from Gulliver’s travels. I keep thinking it is later in the day and later in the week than it is. I get hyperstressed then ZenNeptunian in a matter of hours. Every fifteen minutes counts, and unforeseen blocks to my time put me in a tizz. I fall asleep all 12th Housey Neptunia Luna Jupiteria style, then an hour or two before i wake i think i must be dreaming like normal people do and it’s unsatisfying. I catch myself and resettle into my style of dreaming then it’s too late i have accidentally opened my eyes and caught the rising golden sun.

    Two more days of schedule commitments then i have a fresh week to follow my own clock only, instead of mine plus theirs (mine’s really strong, and i can’t ignore it. Perhaps that’s my Saturn in the 6th. I am seeing how stubborn i am lately. Really fqing stubborn. Saturn Tau 6th. It seems things have to come along and break me. I’ve got Pluto, Saturn and Mars in Earth signs.)

        • You know that seems to be really Piscean timing, and this is why you’re just the perfect astrologer for me, Mystic.

          It feels like the scopes resonate most when i’m in tune with where i should be, whether that’s twinkling with radiance or deep in the shit. Guess that’s the Awesome, huh?

      • No need to apologise, that was really helpful. My week/life has been a lot like this. A struggle to match other people’s sense of ‘time’, wishing I could escape and live on my own terms/times. Seem to be able to make quartz watches run slow by wearing them. Gemini, Saturn in Virgo in 6th trine Moon in Taurus.

    • Your earthy planets sound really amazing. How grounded in the depths are you? Looking deep into the iron crystal heart of the planet and producing real results.

      My only planet in Earth is Mars in Virgo. I think most of us would benefit from a more Earth. But on the other hand, if I have to have more materialising of my issues I may not cope, so may be it is all perfect as it is?

      Taurus in the 6th sounds just amazing.

    • “i think i must be dreaming like normal people do and it’s unsatisfying”

      Maybe you are a normal person, Mille. xoxo Get whatever rest you need.

    • Some practical aspect of her chart told her she could get electrocuted by dropping a live phone in the water. But she knew deep down she was going to have to succumb to the hyperweirding NOW or it would never leave her. SHe was already Miss Havisham-ing around in her wedding dress, experimenting with eyeliner.

      All she had to do to obey her dramatic Leonine Sagittarian Piscean instincts (a thinly disguised autobiography) while not allowing her Earthing to guilt her for also being a clumsy impractical FW, was to run the bath, dress up proper with the veil and unplug the phone,,,

      Of course, a Celtic Druid woodland spirit guide answered the call and left her a thousand mischievous faerie voices with messages.

      • Adorable!! Those Celtic Druid Woodland Spirit Guide Faerie Fluent types are just a mess on that Blue Devil Hoochie juice.
        If she was going to take a bath in the stuff she should have expected a pink noise and static on that line.

  10. Mercury Rx is here – my wireless router and backup carked it a few days ago and I’ve been battling to get connected ever since.

    On the phone to my provider half the day and night – missing their calls left, right and centre as I try to get on and do other things like, oh, work? Those guys must get a caning when Mercury Rx rolls around. I love them for showing up.

    I am trying to resist the urge to purchase the quick fix, knowing that it is likely to suffer the curse of the times. Patience.

  11. I am just absolutely exhausted. Physically exhausted – can’t keep my eyes open exhausted! And I’ve been an insomniac for months! Been on an emotional rollercoaster ride from hell since Xmas (separation, AWOL lover, property settlement and the like), had a meltdown day yesterday, and since last night I’m a zombie (not a love zombie – that was yesterday’s meltdown).

    Health issues for my Dad are playing on my mind, as is whether Aqua/Leo lover is getting his act together. Consumed far too much caffeine & chocolate this morning – just to keep my eyes open.

    I’ve done the de-cluttering & organising thing. Moving out of the marital home in 2 weeks. But now, when will this lethargy pass? I’m not the lay around & do nothing type – and it’s weirding me out!!!

    • Oh wow, Im a Kataka rising/Sag Sun. Totally have been feeling sleepy and exhausted, not enough hours in a day to…. sleep! Been dreaming up a storm, one after another too. When I wake up its like I never got to sleep because Ive been running around in Dreamland all night.

      My ex was also an Aqua/Leo, and my mind has been concerned about him getting his act together as well. He’s been unemployed for a year, but so stubbornly resistant to self-dev, ugh *facepalm*. His dad has been the one with the really bad health issues that caused him to move back home to another state abruptly.

      No meltdowns for me – yet – at least. Hoping things pass quickly and smoothly for you Kataka/Aries68. Reading your post made me feel a connection with the random coincidences in our lives.

    • Hi there, I do know this place, and it is HARD. It sounds to me like you are grieving. I am doing this too but thankfully on the tail end of it now. Moved from heartbreak (AWOL lover) now I’m doing logistics – ending long-dead marriage, looking for work, looking for somewhere to live so I can move on.
      Grief is fuquing hard. Grief is hard on the body, it makes us heavy, it weighs us down and forces us to stop – so we can sleep, breathe, cry, restore and, well, grieve.
      But this is very hard to reconcile with the constant drive to ‘do the list’ esp if you are trying to escape a stifling situation.
      No wonder you are exhausted. Last weekend I stayed in bed and cried. That’s all I did. I no longer love my husband, I am only just separating after two years of wanting to go, but still I grieve for what is lost – past and future, and the huge part of my life I have spent in this house with this man, even though I no longer want it. The grief for the AWOL lover, well that still comes in waves with no warning. But I have learned that I have to rest while all this is going on.
      I hope some of this resonates. If you have lethargy and exhaustion, you need to rest. Schedule it in.
      What else helps me? Magnesium, friends, exercise, music, beach. Not much helps but I do a lot of what helps. Love and strength to you xx

  12. As I responded to someone’s post it never registered that Saturn is in Pisces in my 5th with Chiron.. and yes the mosh pit of transiting planets hitting maybe I am overwhelmed because I am tired. I have these great ideas but I just can’t get myself to do it. I also posted that yesterday I was thinking about how right now I feel the same as when Saturn was transiting Libra (12th) from Nov 2011 until October 2012. That was a tuff time for me but I was tired, cranky and just not all there.

    I look forward to my w/e’s when I come alive! And how long does this last?

    xo!!

      • a silver lining? don’t worry – you have plenty of time and plenty of fish ahead :) I know the pisces scopes were like ’3 weeks of melancholy’ or something, yes? well everything totally catastrophe over here, on a rollercoaster and reeling from fenging the flat, LZ alerts everywhere and a few more health issues…i think a little bit of consolidation might be in order? x

          • Oh dear q, that sounds brutal, hope you’re navigating all with dignity… maybe it’s the feng, stirring things up?? My consult said sometimes things will get worse before they get better as energy starts to realign.
            Re the LZ tendencies – go easy on yourself – and put them all in the freezer! xxx

            • bless dear – and just read above that you’ve had some low moments – for me, the grief and loss is the loss of dreams, hopes and expectations – and that is a particular course at the end of a marriage/long term thing. I like the way you say – not a lot makes you feel better, but do a lot of what does. so true and actually straightforward!!

  13. Love the image. Feeling miserable and at a total standstill re. options for my ‘career’, all I want is to be a pretty dreamy 17 year old girl like in the Virgin Suicides… I don’t want to be an ‘adult’ and get a depressing job in marketing, not as though that’s even an option for me.

    • Can you work it both ways? Be the pretty ,dreamy, 17 year old girl on the outside and wherever possible, but switch it off and be a steely adult when it comes to anything job-related :)

      At least thats what I do :)

  14. I’m actually alright! I have Saturn conj Chiron conj MC in Pisces across 9th/10th houses. Handle of a bucket chart. I’m revisiting an old allied health consortium I used to work with a year ago. We’re starting up some groupwork for kids which stalled last April, which we all love, we’re really excited about it!
    Somehow we have all been freed to talk about our psychic experiences and hidden work now, whereas before we were stuck in being ‘normal’. Also old addictions/thought patterns are coming up to be healed. Can retro-Mercury in Pisces also work this way too?

      • Same! chiron bucket led
        Ive decided I’m good too, not to say that it couldn’t be really scary should I lose grip on the handle!

        saturn and chiron in pisdes in the 11th so yeah social life suddenly non existent, very quiet after inordinately long festive season.

        This is actually a dream come true as I am on the drawing roll of my life, new studio, no interruptions, bliss!!!

        • Thanks Ms. and funickity – I have a good feeling this is going to be good for us Chiron-led bucketeers.
          Funickity – if you are an artist, I’ve just taken up drawing classes again after 20 years. I used to go to art school. We should all keep in touch eh? Just to see what happens :)

          Good luck to you both.

  15. fell asleep on myself talking drinking juice watching other people drink and fought to stay awake on the bus home after fashion week. Sleep me back to human please.

    • With you there, Ms. I know it’s what we need but it can be hard to make sleep happen consistently enough to redress the deficit. Wishing peaceful rest xx

  16. Really hard day yesterday. Met up with my sober friend, we drank coffee at a diner and talked for hours, made plans to get me out of my house and back on my feet. He said he would help me get into a nice sober living place by the sea where I can live as I please, but in a community with others and I think that there is a curfew but that is the only rule. Which is totally fine by me.

    I think it would be positive to live with roommates again, and especially around people who are humble and trying to help themselves instead of the party-house scenarios of my younger years! So strange to realize how much of my life really has involved beers or blunts to socialize, even if it wasn’t hardcore use and I was doing well in school and work.

    But so much unexpected sudden change (he thinks I should move by next week) is a bit scary, I gotta admit! Trying to trust and do this now so that I can Neptune on Mercury in Pisces is a creativity-fueled Awesome-at-thon instead of some low-Neptune exorcism activating all the bad parts of my 8th and 12th house driven self. I’m also doing an online business school for my job…lots of positive stuff. :) Like I said, taking no chances with this full moon.

    • gee – yes, sounds like a big move – is there any other sober trusted person you can discuss it with? have you seen the place, met the others – because that would probably really help the decision – good luck :)

      • Gonna go check it out this weekend. Yes, my friend was very pushy toward it (which I respect, he is trying to help) but I pushed back and told him that taking getting better seriously does not mean blindly following what others think is best and I don’t want to jump into things at a pace I’m uncomfortable with. I think he understood and he said we could check the places out this weekend. Trying to take it at my own pace and be honest with myself but not fearful.

        • exactly – personally I don’t like being pushed into things but if someone is genuinely trying to help I usually know and respond to that. as we know ultimately one cannot run or hide from addictions, but can hopefully create, nurture and build from the inside, a person who can cope with temptation. I live in the area I grew up in (after time away of course) and so many street corners and facades prompt psycho-geographic memories of substance abuse. But other positive memories and affects replace or over write them. other options are to get more support but stay in your current place – and this sounds exactly the area in which you are being honest “how much help to do I really need?’

          • Yeah, definitely! I am not an extreme case…I am honest when I have cravings and call someone, and I am not homeless or jobless or physically ill. But I definitely do isolate myself because I live in a rural area and work from home on contract. And isolation feeds into feeling not supported, which feeds into using…

            I think that if I commit to forcing myself to leave the house and get support from other people in recovery when I feel weak (as opposed to well-meaning friends who have never even tried drugs and don’t really understand) then living at the house I am in now could still lead to success and positive change. Thanks for making me make sure I double check my friend’s enthusiasm and honor my gut instincts first and foremost!

  17. the main thing for me atm is the quake-making but positive changes of having my flat feng shui’d via the MM offer. So much has happened – and its been such a psychic shake-up that now I’m thinking merc retro (in my 1st house and back into my 12th for a few days) might be a good retreat and regroup opportunity. I’m opting for a ‘slow flow’ approach to the next few weeks – work is ramping up but it can be tweaked to suit the retro.

    • Good thinking… for Piscean types MM advises Merc retro as a spiritual devi in prep for next phase and that sounds bang on for you.
      So the feng works! I was a sceptic, but since I did the feng I’ve had a job offer, and looks like hub will give me what I want re the separation. I don’t see it as ‘magic’ as such but it has helped me focus on what I want and less on what isn’t working. Every morning I grin conspiratorially with my laughing Buddha :)

      • wow – that is excellent – yes it defo turned topsy turvy but lots of good things came in too. i have made my own cures but will send away for the official ones next week. i also notice things are much easier to put away and find again and sleeping much better.

  18. Thinking about the merc retro today and a surfing analogy came to mind.
    When a surfer catches a wave and rides it to the shore he looks for the channel or the outgoing rip between the waves to take him out again. The channel takes him out past the break ready for the next wave. Without the outgoing channel the surfer would exhaust himself getting behind the next set. Don’t fight the tide, allow the retro to take you out again ready to ride that next wave.

  19. I’m FINE. (cue Taurean denial)

    I’m most certainly NOT mooning/stewing about a certain man I’m attracted to who used to give me the steamy eyeballs but now just sends me random emails ‘just to say hi’ but doesn’t actually ask me out. (HE must be either blind, mentally challenged or unavailable).

    And I’m NOT feeling pressured about having my weekend hijacked by an out of town guest instead of giving my beautiful Pisces sister the birthday dinner I wanted to give.

    Completely FINE. Even with all the work I have to do to move forward with my Brilliant Career plan, all the administrivia to keep my family/household afloat and my sudden and intense need for ATTENTION.

    Damn.

  20. My passport application was rejected because my mothers passport was issued after I was born. Also lost some forms nececarry for starting work. Feeling the traditional ‘stuckness’ of Merc rx.

  21. WOOOOO…..
    got an email from the exboyfriend….

    HE mentioned how he was over mourning me and our relationship, hoped we could know each other again and be friends. Either way he was happy for me and my boyfriend.

    wtf????

  22. Ok, I have 5 planets passing by Pisces in my 5th house.

    Mercury
    Mars
    Chiron (T & Natal)
    Sun
    Neptune (T & Natal)

    So what should I be concerned about or happy about in regard to recreational and leisure activities. Things which makes for enjoyment and entertainment. games and gambling. children. love and sex. Creative self-expression?

    When the majority of the planets are in one house is that good or bad?

    Woke up this morning feeling great!! I am going to keep a low profile though. I am waiting to see the crazies come out to see who is dealing with what.

    xo!!

  23. Tired? Hell no, this is because half my pay is in supplements, Isagenix lean shake powder, whey protein, flaxseed oil, red antioxidants & wheat grass, spirulina over the last 2 months. No more afternoon kips needed, awake at 6am, sleeptime not till 11pm. What a remarkable difference or could it just be SUMMER the season i was born into, they say is the one you thrive in.
    Haven’t felt so energised in 10 years.
    Saw pix of Goldie Hawn & Ivana Trump in bathers & short shorts respectively, almost brought me to my knees with gratitude and feelings of being blessed as my body is far more toned, wrinkle free, flat tummied
    than theirs. THAT’S sure given me more energy again.
    Ivana looks like booze has taken it’s toll.
    Have never worn sun screen and am a sun worshipper, so i wonder what the secret is? MInd over matter? If i find out shall let you 40 year old’s know. Surely it can’t be space dust, nicotine, poppy juice and Barossa Valley vine extracts.
    Who cares, it just means i’m never getting ‘old’ and if i do then there is Belgium to depart to.
    (Mars in Virgo?)

  24. pisces is in my fourth/fifth houses. probably explains y i have been feeling totally doomed right now esp. as i have just launched a couple of creative projects which will mean forming lots of nu relationships. my whole life feels like its in pisces flipping retrograde… not a happy place to be! when will it get better o oracle medusa?
