^Gently Reconstructive^I'm still winging it while Mercury is retrograde rather than writing a daily sonnet.
There is bad and good during the Mercury R period. The worst right now is the war in Ukraine. We should not be supporting it because it is a war of attrition, unwinnable. Watch the podcasts of Judge Andrew Napolitano and you will find it impossible to support Biden's "no off-ramp," "until everyone is dead" war "plan" which is not a plan for anything but the suicide of Ukrainian (and Russian) soldiers. Often they are conscripted, with no training, virtual cannon fodder. Americans ought to be ashamed of not seeking, but actually preventing, peace negotiations, which is what the Biden Administration is doing. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDkEYb-TXJVWLvOokshtlsw
Not nearly as bad but interesting, and difficult for some media people, is the fact that Fox News is in bad shape after firing Tucker Carlson, that MSNBC is in bad shape (good!) and has fired Don Lemon (I have no opinion about him), that Buzzfeed News has ended, that Nate Silver and his 538 have ended (dropped by Disney) and that an era in the information world "is dead" according to Saagar Eneti of Breaking Points (which is a good news source). All this is very typical of Mercury Retrograde when things can go into a "chrysalis state" before RE-forming.
How is that working out in your own life? It can be good, ultimately, even if upsetting temporarily.
And there are the "little things," such as out-of-pattern incidents in food preparation, more walking from kitchen to dining area and back than usual, delays in everything, etc. I just had a wrong delivery to my door which I had to give to someone else in the building, for example. Not a biggie but typical.
Still, looking at the aspects among the planets, Venus is sextile Jupiter from now through the first half of May, very good for prosperity, so even if the financial forecasters are predicting inflation and doom, most will find that in one way or another they have plenty, or more than they expected. There can be sincerity, grace, warm feelings, sociability, comfort, and pleasurable events. These happen often in out-of-pattern, unexpected ways, the signature of MR.
Mar sextile Uranus, Cancer to Taurus, can be unusual ways of food preparation, or unusual foods, which work out happily.
Again, spiritual seeking--meditation, prayer, chanting, yoga, scriptural study, inspirational music--is excellent during the MR period. That is true also during the |difficult third| of the week, which begins late today and takes up the weekend. May it be a peaceful, gently reconstructive time for you.
