This Dark Hermetic Epoch (November 7 till January 4): How to Navigate It 1 The Dark and Bright Epochs alternate and each lasts about two months. 2 They are based on the speed and orbit of Mercury (Hermes in Greek). 3 Always the 3-week Mercury Retrograde period is at the center of a Dark or Slow Epoch. This time that's November 25 to December 15. 4 The other four weeks of a Dark Epoch (two before and two after the MR phase) are very similar to the MR period. 5 The Dark or Slow Epoch (where we are now until January 4) is not "bad" but can be confusing. At worst, there are delays and incompetences, mechanical or technological time-consuming glitches, and differing opinions or approaches that are hard to reconcile. 6 The past is present in big and unexpected ways. This can be in dreams or daydreams. You may watch old movies or return to books you've read before. We are REexperiencing or REthinking elements of our personal past and of the world's past. 7 This trend is healthy but sometimes seems to interfere with attending to current necessities. Living in the past and present concurrently is an art form to be developed during these times. 8 Psychic phenomena and spiritual experiences are prominent. 9 Old "sins" or bad habits may sneak back and take over for a while. 10 Old friends and relatives become more significant than usual. This can be very positive, as in the year-end holiday season this time. 11 You are likely to modify your schedules and do things in "out of pattern" style. That is fine, but it's wise to decide on some linchpins in daily or weekly schedules so you don't get lost in a welter of side issues. 12 Knowing about all this can be so clarifying, comforting and strengthening that I shall write more about it. I hope many readers will save this post and share it. [Thursday] Navigating the Dark Epoch Cosmic Piper Thursday: Moon in Leo
