How is the Mercury Retrograde period going for you? (August 30 through September 21, two more weeks)
Here's the way it looks to me this time around:
1. Heavy side of it: MR-Heavy: Uncertainty, confusion in plans, wondering if one has any plan at all that makes any sense. Plans look like they are failing. Dithering, slacking off, feeling out of it. At worst, despair and self-contempt.
2. MR-Lite: This is what I have experienced the past few days: Not too bad, just a lot of extra stuff to do which seems trivial. Odd stuff for me with Twitter (someone mentioned me in a tweet so that everyone who "liked" the tweet or retweeted it automatically had an email sent me by Twitter telling me so--utterly meaningless and annoying to me so that I stopped following the peculiar person responsible). Trying hard to keep up with schedule and finding it almost impossible. Extra pointless stuff seems to come up. Taking a shower or finding an article of clothing has extra complexities, wasting time. And on and on. Mind-wandering or daydreaming and not even recalling what it was all about or why.
3. MR-nice: Relax a little! Slack off in a good way. Give the world and G*d a vacation, and yourself, so we don't have to be hassling everyone and ourselves all the time. We need to do free-form, "out-of-pattern" stuff every day. You have lunch or dinner somewhere you usually don't. You read things or watch things you ordinarily don't. You switch your schedule around without thinking much about it just because it feels better that way.
4. MR-exalted: You can even rise above all this, everything, into a spiritual state of consciousness you don't reach at other times. Meditation or prayer, or silent musing, leads you somewhere real which you would not be able to put in words or explain to anyone. The Supreme seems more available, for those who care about Him or put their minds on Him or Her. Atheists could think of that as reaching out toward Infinity. Consciousness has greater possibilities than we usually assume.
For Wednesday: You may alternate between low and high, debased and exalted. Are thrills destructive or constructive? You may not want to think about that but it could be important.
Some things which seemed true, real and significant fizzle out into inessentiality. Why did you get excited over them in the first place?
There is a martial attitude or feeling: "I can do this. I can defeat any enemy. I look good and formidable in the mirror and nobody will get in my way."
Yet there is harmony, with Venus in her sign Libra moving toward sextiles with both Saturn and Mars. This is even love. You will sense it lurking, peeking out at you from people unexpectedly, or maybe even expressing itself more boldly. People influence one another in fortunate ways.
Your job, or your most important project, requires attention rather than daydreaming or wandering in paths of pointless diversion. Yes, the "out-of-pattern" things (of section 3. above) are good, but in moderation. In and around them you can get back to your major efforts. It's a trick of putting your mind now here, now there; letting it roam for a while, but pulling it back to work when that is essential. We do this in a different way while Mercury is retrograde.
The efficiency required while the sun is square Mars (increasing daily) is not so onerous because there is a sort of innocence in our minds and feelings which makes us want to participate in living with all those who sustain our particular role in life. We explore, and then we share.
At times there is even a need for a primitive self-expression which says "I am I, and I rise to the occasion whether you support that or not." This is not crudity or violence, just self-sureness.
