On-Going Astrological Affects:
Mercury In Retrograde – A Special Report ! Most affected are Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio and Sagittarius. This transit began on Nov. 6. For All Signs: This transit will continue until Nov. 26. It is best to lay low in matters of communications, travel, and purchases relating to electrical gadgets of communications; the cell phone, the computer, an automobile. The written, spoken, and typed word may have to be RE-written, RE-spoken, REtyped. Generally, not a good time to commit with your word or sign important documents as when MIR goes direct, in three weeks there will be changes. Some changes for the better, or more likely, for some people, it will fall apart by the next MIR (in 3 months). The return of unfinished business from the past, either your past Life but mostly from this Life, will come back via the telephone, the email, the regular mail, certified mail – requesting closure. Machinery such as computers, most telecommunications devices and automobiles are jumpy, faulty or stalled. If you were born during
MIR, some or most of this may not apply to you. With this particular retrograde in this month, it brings the opportunity to remember, to re-connect. We can become too emotional or unwilling to release, to surrender and let go, this being only the worst of it. The best of it can bring us to be sharp, to double or triple check all communications to avoid emotional distress. Also during this particular retrograde, not just Scorpio and Sag need to be careful. Due to other contributing planetary affects, Valuable information can be found via some forms of communications. Being is more important than “doing”. Do your best to be in a higher conscious realm. Use awareness to avoid unnecessary dramas, disappointments or worse – emotional distress. Job Seekers Take Note: Have no expectations other than the good possibility that it may only be a temporary thing. Unless you are compelled not to take the job, take it anyway for the experience of it. Try not to get attached and know that it may end by the next MIR. A visit down memory lane is possible – some memories we wish to forget or sweet memories to cherish always - it’s your choice. Best Meditation Mudra: Buddha, (Mercury, thumb over the 5th finger).
