Mercury Retrograde: circles and shifts
Mercury stations Retrograde in Taurus
April 28 – May 22, 2016
This is not the usual Mercury Retrograde.
When Mercury makes its Retrograde station, the Moon in Capricorn trines Mercury, and so does the North Node in Virgo, creating a Grand Trine in Earth. (Mercury will trine Jupiter in Virgo during this Retrograde station, but it’s a wide -10 degree- trine at the actual station.) This is NOT a difficult Mercury Retrograde. It may even be too easy.
You may be able to avoid doubling back over recent steps by thinking twice. But if you make mistakes and need to retrace your steps, do things twice, you have options. You can let it stress you and get irritated. Sure. Or, you can realize that you have a larger, tighter, smarter, more professional and committed circle of support than you have acknowledged or utilized.
Moving fast, you can miss things, big and small. So Mercury Retrograde gives us time to remember to be more mindful. Tune into your sacred inner voice as it speaks to you, even if it means slowing down.
Mercury Retrograde in earth-sign Taurus wants us to be grounded. Not flighty, not reckless or careless, but conscious, awake, and centered in your being. Connected to the Earth and open to the Sky. How can you get grounded and feel more connected? The next 3 weeks can make it easy to get there.
First, think twice.

Full Moon: lighting up the dark
Full Moon in Scorpio
Friday, April 22, 2016
@ 1:23 AM EST
Moon @ 2 Scorpio 30
Sun @ 2 Taurus 30
At this Full Moon in Scorpio, as both Scorpio rulers, Mars and Pluto, have just stationed Retrograde, we can find ourselves being stopped in our tracks. And facing the very real possibility of moving backwards. What? Not ME!!!
Chilling out is an art. We can hear our Spirit when we are calm inside. Much less when we are moving at full speed, running as fast as we can, always rushing to find out what’s next.
This Full Moon is the revelation that we are in partnership. With Spirit, with other people, with our creation itself.
To fully understand and use our resources, we need to honor our partnerships. This is where we can distinguish our strong inner self from our small inner self. And choose our strong self.
So don’t get too down on Mars and Pluto and Saturn Retrograde. This is an opportunity to release all the SUPER CRUCIAL things we are doing so we can pay attention to something deeper inside that will lead us to our greatest freedom.
What are you ready to release?
This blog seems like important work. It sure helps me stay centered and grounded and i truly enjoy bringing this into the world. So i hope it helps you too. After 20 years, we really need your help to keep this going. We are committed to relieving stress and fear so we can find our inner love and joy, and live in gratitude, every day. All contributions joyously accepted
