Sunday 22 May 2022, and the (once again) Dark Mercury Epoch
~Once Again~
Despite all I have written about Mercury Retrograde (May tenth—June second this time) it seems that many still do not get the message or the idea or comprehend what it means, so I press on with endless explanations and examples. Actually the M~R period of three weeks always occurs at the center of the seven- or eight- week long Dark Hermetic Epoch (as I named this cycle decades ago). That period this time extends from April 26 through June 19. (Note: Of course Mercury is not literally dark during this period, but it is Slow and that seems to manifest as darkness in the human consciousness.)
DHE began April 26 . . .(Mercury Retrograde May 10-June 2) . . . DHE ends June 19
A Disinformation Board proposed by the Biden Administration, widely mocked and ridiculed as the Ministry of Truth, was made public on April 27! The very day after the Dark Hermetic Epoch began! Now, three weeks later, it has been DISbanded, ended, or “put on pause” amid much embarrassment. That’s while Mercury is retrograde, suggesting REmission, REtreat, REvaluation and so on
Elon Musk announced his plan to purchase Twitter in April before the beginning of the DHE, but by May 17, during the Mercury Retrograde period, the New York Times observes: “Behind the scenes, the two sides are proceeding with the deal: They jointly put out a regulatory filing on Tuesday. Renegotiating a deal would not be easy for Mr. Musk.” Notice the REnegotiation terminology. And the REgulatory filing. But this is not just playing with words. Musk and Twitter may go through with the deal, but often our plans need to be REbalanced, REviewed, and REarranged during the REtrograde period—-for Musk, Twitter, you and me.
It goes without saying that the M~R period, through June 2, brings the unexpected, and often the unwanted, every day if not every hour. We REadjust constantly. Things we had abandoned in the past come to life again, as for example UFOs, even in Congress last week. We consider psychic phenomena in a fresh way and feel we have one foot in another world. Sometimes this can be disorienting to the point we feel we might be going senile or “losing it,” but I assure you this is not true. It is just one symptom of that huge syndrome, Mercury Retrograde, which seems to catapult us into a different kind of time, a fourth dimension unlike our usual temporal sense. Thinking or dreaming of the past is natural and not to be despised. Wondering about the future can be unsettling and so to make it harmless we should give ourselves a lot of affirmations of goodness to set our minds in a fulfilling direction rather than bring on what we worry about pointlessly. At best this can be a fulfilling time if saturated with openness plus calm poise.
Other words to consider during the M~R period are DIS words. The Ministry of Truth was (wisely) DISmissed. People get all hot under the collar about supposed DISinformation, but there is vast DISagreement as to what that is. It is easy to be DISturbed by multiple odd factors which seem almost demonic, like my neighbor keeping me awake so that I had to move my bed to another room (just a few days ago) or REpair noises connected with plumbing in my neighborhood which sound like metal banging on metal for the past week, calming down a little today. There must be examples of such things in your life.
There are ANOMALIES, another M~R word, such as yesterday my probing with a tablespoon in a bag of coffee only to find that there was already another tablespoon there, which almost caused me to drop the bag on the floor, but fortunately the demons of DISplacement did not trip me up that far. Trivial? Yes, but I have never before had an accident exactly like that and it happened under the aegis of Mercury’s backward dithering.
Related to anomaly is “anomie,” a rarely used word except in sociology and philosophy. Merriam-Webster says: “Social instability resulting from a breakdown of standards and values. / The reforms of a ruined economy, under these conditions, brought about social anomie, desperation and poverty rather than relief and prosperity.— T. Mastnakalso : Personal unrest, alienation, and uncertainty that comes from a lack of purpose or ideals. / In the face of these prevailing values, many workers experience a kind of anomie. Their jobs become empty, meaningless, and intrinsically unsatisfying.”
It does not have to get that bad during the Mercury Retrograde 3 weeks, or the Dark Hermetic Epoch’s 7 to 8 weeks, but it can. Other words are Drift, Daydreaming, Confusion, Uncertainty, and Doubt.
But let’s look at the bright side. “Dark” can mean profound, and in the darkness of night we have some of our most profound experiences. These can be thrilling, whether for good or bad. Probably most crimes are committed under the cover of darkness, but also exciting discoveries and exalting meditations. Psychic phenomena are rife during the MR and DHE periods, as well as UFO experiences whether “in the sky” or as contactee, and whether imaginary or veridical. For decades I have noted that I am attracted to the UFO phenomenon during the DHE periods (or MR periods at their center). This time Congress was also drawn to the phenomenon. UFOs, and other anomalous phenomena, DISappear magically, and REappear.
We REview and REcollect and REminisce. The past is our friend, not our enemy, provided we look on its happy side and embrace the goodness it has offered and holds for us in memory. A TV series, musical group, or set of novels may be DIScontinued, but we can always go back and REanimate the episodes, stories or songs we want to REexperience.
RElationships can fall on the rocks, or they can REvive.
It’s a fascinating time.
