\Dark Winding Road/
Moon in Capricorn **
Mercury turns retrograde at 10:21a PT | 1:21p ET | 5:21p UT
..............until Sunday May 22 (22 days)
.... Dark Hermetic Epoch continues until June 7
We know what to expect from Mercury's Retrograde period, and yet we don't, because it is always different and surprises seem to be a big part of what it offers.
You are probably familiar with some of the key phrases used to describe it: Reorientation, rethinking, reminiscence, and re-creation which is sometimes recreation. Also retreat, resignation, and sometimes repentance. Of course we can hope for regeneration, though the path to it be dark and winding.
A prayer of Meher Baba: "We repent, O God most merciful, for all our sins; for every thought that was false or unjust or unclean; for every word that ought not to have been spoken; for every deed that ought not to have been done. We repent for every deed and word and thought inspired by selfishness and for every deed and word and thought inspired by hatred. We repent most especially for every lustful thought and every lustful action; for every lie; for all hypocrisy; for every promise given but not fulfilled; and for all slander and backbiting. Most especially also we repent for every action that has brought ruin to others; for every word and deed that has given others pain; and for every wish that pain should befall others. In Your unbounded mercy we ask you to forgive us, O God, for all these sins committed by us, and to forgive us for our constant failures to think and speak and act according to Your will."
From the symbols for Thursday:
Two birds feed near a boy who lies upon the ground
Full and asleep. Above him the sun approaches
The horizon announcing a man with a world mission
Hallowed by angelic choirs in tones of veneration.
In the casino nearby alcohol flows round adventurous
Companions, some gamblers, others miners on a break
From honest labor and accidental danger.
At nightfall lightning strikes cleaving darkened thoughts.
It seems to have started a fire in the house of a cult
Reforming the world through visionary genius. The boy
Asleep on the ground sits up to see what's going on.
The celestial choir sings of puissant destiny unfolding.
