As a refresher to my previous blog entry, "Mercury rules thinking and perception, processing and disseminating information and all means of communication, commerce, education and transportation..."
During a Mercury Retrograde, the energy surrounding this period, "... gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray or awry. Public transit, i.e. air, bus, etc., law enforcement activity, and social unrest may be affected and/or increase during a Mercury retrograde." But what is rarely spoken about among astrologers online, due to some disagreements on the idea, is what I'm calling "The Two-Week Shadow Effect" prior to Mercury going retrograde and prior to Mercury going direct.
Two weeks prior to a Mercury Retrograde, Mercury's orbit appears to us on Earth to start slowing down. During this "slow down" period, the affects of Mercury Retrograde begin to appear slowly. People's thoughts begin to get a bit foggy. The planning process for big projects become difficult to implement, which in turn, creates frustration for those involved. This frustration begins to fester, with blame being dished out like it's a "blue plate special" night, until an explosion of anger erupts. Sometimes, if this eruption of anger occurs during a large social event, then it's possible that some people at the event may get hurt. Evidence of this situation occurring can be seen during the recent July 28, 2011, Los Angeles Rave Party Riot on Hollywood Boulevard.
During Mercury Retrograde, with Comet Elenin in the area, civil unrest situations can escalate to a national level. We see this with the current London Riots.
Two weeks prior to Mercury going direct, the affects of retrograde will begin to diminish but there may be a tendency for the retrograde energy to boucne back with focused intent to get us to look within and re-evaluate ourselves.
Comet Elenin is a very big contributer to this current retrograde energy by being in the constellation of Leo at the time Mercury went retrograde, which also occurred in Leo.
Note: Sidereal calculations were used because a real-time reading of the stars was preferred.
While Mercury is in retrograde, and during the "Two-Week Shadow Effect" period, when Mercury again appears to slow down prior to going direct, be aware of your emotions and state of mind. Comet Elenin will make it more difficult to look within and self-evaluate. Awareness is the key to patience and compassion. Time shall always be the witness of our actions. Let's make this "Time" count.
Blessings,
