A Journey Round My Skull

So wow, go Mercury Retrograde!  Who said that it would be more restrained in the patrician and sober sign of Capricorn?  I did. Lol. It’s certainly different from the whacko Air Sign Retros where it’s almost like The Trickster is in charge, befuddling you to auto-send e-mails mentioning A Certain Person TO that Certain Person. And I don’t think there is that fairy-tale like nostalgia that seems to beset Water Sign Mercury Retrogrades. But it’s Mercurial Bats alright…

* Having only been on it for, like, five weeks, I get bumped off Facebook!  It feels punitive though apparently it’s perfectly common. Oh well, let’s see if my “appeal” works. If not, I shall probably just posting my more inane observations up here.

* Had lunch with some peeps & a Virgo was there; terribly hungover from a dinner party the night before. Nobody had warned her that TWO of her Exes were going to be there and with their new partners, to boot. Ex-lovers always feature in one way or another, when Mercury is Retro. And if men are your thing, then Mars Retro accentuates the syndrome.

* Whilst googling myself to see if ANY trace of my F-Book content still remained, I found THIS from Sally Bennett in  the Herald-Sun today…

“…Mystic Medusa in the Weekend Australian is a favourite. She’s the thinking person’s astrologer – all sharp-witted, New Age language and dripping with sarcasm.

She doesn’t mind reminding you of your flaws or having a laugh at your expense.

She says stuff like, “Control-freakery aside, you’re the wittiest star sign.” Thanks. I think….”

And you see, I would not have read that if not for the Facebook fuq-up & I LOVE flattery.  This is how Mercury Retrograde works.

* The extendable handle on the fancy new mop i bought does not extend. This is just infuriating to someone with Mars in Virgo like me.

* Cards can weirdly not work for no REAL reason during Mercury A.W.O.L. phases & this is the Capricorn twist – it’s at some place where the person is going to give you attitude about it. eg; my card conked out in front of bitched up bogan who already hated me as I’d asked whether or not something had dairy in it. She said something like “oh you’re not one of THOSE, are you?” and then card conked just as I needed to project Capricorny hauteur. Capricorn lesson: Cook it yourself. Don’t pay peeps to patronise you.

* Another random Mercury Retro in Capricorn manifestion – especially as Saturn stations – Bad Dad issues…

So, happy New Year & all that – how was your Full Moon Eclipse?

Is everyone three kilograms heftier and imbued with a quite a few fresh emotional understandings or is that just me?

Classic Cancerian Eclipse Full Moonie themes:  awareness of residual feelings, homeland, insights into what gives you the heebie-jeebies and why, parenting-birth-fertility issues and ideas, urge to meditate, flashes re your personal history, clucky or reappreciating your children more, security concerns, emo flashpoint style domestics anywhere there is unresolved merde, bonding between women or with the mother, a bit of productive hypochondria, carbophilia beyond even the seasonal demands, sacred laundering, artistic validation, major rad spiritual realisations and someone has to bung  on a bit of pass-agg crap.

It’s been fab & all but bring on the Moon in Virgo – non?

Oh all right, the lessons learned over the last week just have to be synthesized & absorbed because they are fab…And the  more you assimilate them over the next few weeks of Mercury Retrograde, the fresher a vital new start you score with the New Moon Eclipse on Jan 15. Wallow a bit now, slough off the shite & emerge more gleaming & potent than ever v.soon.

Heh-heh & here we go again guys!

Mercury is Retrograde from Saturday 26th (early AM Sunday for Sydney peeps) & it is Direct again on January 16.

This is actually really cool timing as many of us will be having some sort of a rest & it’s brilliant astro for re-appraising Capricornian matters – stability, tradition, endurance, your business plan et al. Saturn goes Retro in early Jan so there will be Mercury, Mars and Saturn all inward-focussed. Fantastic strategising energy…Batty love affairs flare up too but don’t expect men to pursue whilst Mars is Retrograde.

Oh and till mid-Jan is also unreal for editing, revision and taking care of business such as tooth & bone a.k.a. osteo/dental. Superb health jagging energy.

There will be a Mercury Retrograde Book Club operating over the Retro phase as well…

I don’t know if this Mercury Retrograde Spiritual Mist Spray works or not but it’s a sensational idea…yes?

Mercury is next Retrograde from December 27 to Jan 16.

I think this is BRILLIANT.

It is at one of the few times of the year peeps tend not to be trying to force major things through, it will facilitate a fab re-assessment of family and friendship values and you need only ensure you make New Year resolutions BEFORE December 27.  Say what you like on the New Year’s Eve but it will be reversed or subverted.

The time between the end of 2009 and 2010 is full ON this year – it is a Full Moon Eclipse with Venus and Pluto involved. Dramatic resolutions and Chthonic Sex/Love/Emo action…Peeps are REALLY getting to grips with all that has altered since Pluto got into Capricorn in early 2008. It’s like a welcome to Pluto in Capricorn situation. Mercury is retro there, Venus is in Capricorn, Pluto – obviously – Saturn is in slo-mo getting set to square Pluto again and the Sun is in Capricorn as well opposed by a FULL MOON IN CANCER..

S0 what? It’s an Eclipse and so extra-emotional and all. Think also of 2004 – the middle of that year links poignantly into this years Xmas.

THINK: Resolutions Made Before Dec 27, All Work Finished but you open to past-life-blast style freaky synchronicity bonding. Prep also to vanquish ghosts from the past and do NOT go bigtime shopping  before the middle of Jan.

Think good but v.strong Astro-Weirding over the Xmas Hols phase.
