REturning to the HEART, Mercury Retrograde Summer 2012

Mercury REtrograde in Leo: 14 July to 08 August 2012
Retrograde: Any planet’s reverse movement which results in an opposite direction to that of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, or of the Moon around the Earth.
Known as the Trickster, Mercury lives up to his nickname especially when he cruises in reverse for a mere three weeks approximately three times per year. The collective undeniably senses the fluxes within our communications, movements, mechanisms of travel and electronics, as well as our thinking and mentality. When our Messenger is preparing to take his backwards trip, one all too often wonders within all the zany craziness: What in the world IS going on lately?
Yet, as we also know, Mercury Retrograde periods are never to fear because all human beings are required to take-up in these offerings for review. Surely though you will see those unawares typically getting aggravated and frustrated by Mercury’s typical bag of tricks he draws from over this period. Even as the station occurs just a couple days before the point he will retrograde from, the request for change and adaptability comes into collective play. Human error is the highest under the influence of these passages than during any other time of the year.
Adding up the total time of these periods within any given calendar year we find they are the equivalent of the actual time we spend sleeping- one more human requirement in order to function properly within the waking world. Ultimately, these 3 weeks are best spent adhering to any word with that begins with RE: such as: redo, reassess, read, revisit, rejoice, realign, rest, review, retreat and by all means RElax! Yes, your eyes do not deceive you in how you can truly REceive REward within Mercury’s “tricks.” Being the norm that “no one pays attention much in the summer,” it couldn’t be a better time for REflection!
Mercury Retrogrades in Leo
10:16pm EDT 14 July to 1:40am EDT 08 August
Reflection where The Lion reigns upon the center stage of our lives is now in the court’s order.  It will be wise to examine how authority, creativity, dignity, and humility live in our HEART for this passage, and too, how this deeply affects our dear Mother EARTH. Honoring this request allows any soul to sharpen their insight and broaden perceptions to recognize that self-sufficiency is the key to what all of our futures hold. As you’ll find further down within what the Lexigrams of Mercury Retrograde have to share with us, the potential of the Leo energy to display in the ego should be courageously checked-in at every door.
For the Collective Horoscope
We have a quick and easy guide that pinpoints where Mercury’s energy’s will outwardly affect you, and where you are best to put your reflective and responsive cap on within.
Remember, your natal chart is the other vantage point you will wish to consider as well, where 12 to 01 deg Leo precisely sits. This is the area of life where you’ll also see those communication, mechanism, and movement related mishaps, changes, and delays the most; as well as seeing a restructure of some sort unfolding within the next 3 weeks. Take special note of any natal planets you may have placed within these degrees, as these will also be energized by this transit, as well as other direct aspects from within your personal star map.

TO DO or NOT TO DO under Mercury REtrograde…
REmain in the eye of any possible storm around you… These handy tips can help bring ease over this upcoming period to allow personal success to be reaped!
DO:
*Expect CHANGE: in travel, routines, communications & schedules to occur suddenly
*Expect REpairs, and REdoings!
*Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going
*Spend time in the RE’s: RElax, REvisit, REflect, REtreat, REcharge!
*Have Plan B (and Plan C, D or E if necessary) ready to go
*Gravitate to REsponding vs. REacting!
DON’T:
*“Freak out” when changes come up
*Rush: speaking, driving, doing anything!
*Sign important documents
*Initiate or buy anything new that you wish to have long-term success with.
Keep in Mind…
Try not to question everything at this time. And if you do, REflect in the actions and thoughts leading up to your DOUBT, and tell it please DO BUT OUT BUD. Remember the Sun will come into Leos’ shining light upon 22 July, and will conjunct our backwards Messenger upon 28 July. REmaining in the REsponse vs. the REaction will always manifest the positive energy to attract back to your free-will at any time. The more we can be flexible, the better results we see. Sometimes, it is taking that pause for a SILENT LISTEN that saves us.
Approach: Began 27 June
The last day Mercury was at 01 deg Leo. You may have already started to see the things emerge that will be under Mercury’s review during this time.
Shadow: Ends 21 August
The next time Mercury reaches 12 deg Leo going Direct. Should any important decisions have to have gone forward under the Retrograde, this is the perfect time to rework them and make sure any errors are then corrected and cleared up.
Lexigrams and Mercury Retrograde
One last piece of star secret advice comes from the wisdom of Lexigrams, the art of phrasing the anagrams we can derive from any word, name, or in this case, title. What we are best to do under this passage can readily be seen as the letters within Mercury Retrograde equally wish to tell us the real tale of the Trickster’s request.

2012: Embrace Spirit

More than likely you couldn’t be more excited that another Universal New Year has now officially begun. While there has been much speculation about what the world at large can anticipate about the turn of events to unfold in 2012, let’s take a look at what our dear planets from above say about the energies going on down here below.

2012 represents a 5 Universal Year in it’s presence, and is guided by our Messenger planet Mercury. Undoubtedly, you have already heard this year will be one of significant change. Indeed these are not rumors to be cast away lightly. But our changes, as they will display themselves, are certainly something any soul should not choose to fear.

As we all do as spiritual beings having our human experiences, we personally encounter Mercury and his 5 energy every 9 days, 9 months and 9 years. We share in not only our own individual and personal forecast as we flow in time with that of The Universe, but witness what occurs in the world’s experiences that affects the larger part of the entire whole.

On a collective level, humanity too, goes through 9 year cycles. Our last year of major changes was in 2003. Previous to that, 1994, 1985, 1976, 1967, 1958, 1949, 1940, 1931, 1922, 1913, and 1904 are all of the years throughout the last century that have represented years that changes to the masses on one significant level or another occurred within. Go back in history and see what links up here.

So, here we are again now amidst a collective year that promises to change the landscape of the world at large in a massive way. 5 is the midway point of any cycle of the 9. In the 5, as blossoming and change wish to occur, these all are stemming ideally from the new beginnings planted 4 years prior.

Looking back to 2008, this is a time that the collective first started the seeds which have completed their understanding of being nurtured (2009), then sprouted (2010), and have the depth of root and security (2011) to be able to permanently change from the foundation that has now been built. The platform is in place for real change and movement to unfold as 2012 progresses.

As we will be concluding 2012, October brings in a tremendous astrological shift from Saturn, the planet of karma, responsibility and patience as he will then enter the realms of transformational Scorpio. With the combination of a 5 Universal Year and this planetary alignment, you can be sure some of the most intense changes of the year come in the latter months of it.

In pure planetary “reversals” our planet of regeneration and change, Pluto, already has been reflecting on everything that will see it’s greatest shifts, as he has been slowly making changes upon the collective in the ambitions of Capricorn since November 2008. Undoubtedly, the last 3 months of 2012 are ones where shift truly come through as Pluto and Saturn see themselves in the sign the other one innately rules. Karmic changes indeed.

There is no better time to take a deep breath and be ready for the future. How -as a collective unit- will we be able to adapt and be versatile enough to accept the changes before us all? For whatever reasons, the very idea of EMBRACE SPIRIT came to mind as I asked myself this very question. When I went further to ponder the Name Expression of this phrase, I guess it didn’t surprise me too much that it ticked to the blessings of the 23, the Chaldean’s innate understanding of ‘The Royal Star of the Lion.’

Within this most fortunate 5 vibration, the 23 promises that by tapping into it, we can receive its’ wisdom. Of which the Chaldeans’ spoke of this numerological gift: “This is a karmic reward number. 23 bestows, not only a promise of success in personal and career endeavors, it guarantees help from superiors and protection from those in high places. It’s a most fortunate number, and greatly blesses with abundant grace the person or entity represented by it. Other numbers don’t have much of a chance to bring about serious trouble when the Royal Star of the Lion is present during difficult times. No number can challenge the Lion’s strength and win.”

Still a little antsy about the changes 2012 promises? By remembering to EMBRACE SPIRIT, there isn’t any doubt that when we look to one more star secrets treasure of the Lexigrams it can derive, we -in all of our human experiences as spiritual beings- will survive them and remain in our personal strength. As the letters within can be poetically phrased to tell the truth of the matter, who wouldn’t look forward to these Universal gifts in 2012?
