Greetings, Gifted Reader.
So, how’s that Mercury retrograde working for ya?
By now, even the average layperson is aware that when
Mercury turns retrograde (slows its speed so as to appear as if it’s moving
backward), havoc is wreaked. Or, is it?

| two Seattle Astrologers discuss Mercury retrograde |
For many of us, Mercury retrograde means revisiting the
past. This is a period that can give us an opportunity to fix something we’ve
left hanging. Also, note how many people you haven't heard from in decades who suddenly contact you on
LinkedIn.
Astrologers know that Mercury rules communications and
short-distance travel and when a retrograde occurs, it’s like a blast from the
past. Issues we haven’t dealt with come back to haunt us--particularly areas
that Mercury rules; like, the aforementioned communications and short-distance travel.
Did you misunderstand an email, letter, note or
voicemail—something written or spoken? Or, did your travel plans go awry?

For those of us with Natal Mercury retrograde, there’s
little to fear. We know that by walking backward through any life area, we get
clarity. Many of us do that often, naturally, due to our Natal Mercury
placement. Personally, Gypsy Stars likes to read backwards, and even watch a
film from ending to beginning.
Mercury also rules siblings, neighbors and neighborhoods.
Anyone up for a garage sale? This is a good time to get rid of stuff from your
past. Maybe, even dump your evil sister.
The current Mercury retrograde period is February 19 to
March 18. On the 20th, the Sun will move into Aries to give us a sense of
renewal and hope for spring. It will be a great time to jumpstart something
brand spanking new. With Venus joining the Sun on the 22nd, check
out how closely your love and money sectors sync with your will and
determination.
Remember, if you have an interesting metaphysical moment--or
many of them--to share with us, drop us a line so we can feature you here. We’d love to
let the world know about you and your work.
And, of course, check out our T_zing t-shirts at Cafe Press.
Until the Sun is in bright and beautiful Aries,
Good luck, light and love,
Gypsy Stars
