\n<\/a>\"Mercury-in-Sagittarius-Rx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your World is nev\u00ader what it
\nseems\u2026not ever. You believe you per\u00adceive real\u00adi\u00adty as it is, but you live in an
\ninter-twined, mul\u00adti-dimen\u00adsion\u00adal whirling space of Spirit\/Matter and appearances
\nare often deceiving\u2026and that is espe\u00adcial\u00adly true when you are deal\u00ading with the
\nmer\u00adry trick\u00adster him\u00adself, Mer\u00adcury the mes\u00adsen\u00adger of the Gods\u2026 <\/p>\n

For those who are striv\u00ading for a
\ngreater aware\u00adness, who wish to see it Truer, you need to pierce beyond the
\nenvelop\u00ading veil of appear\u00adances if you wish to per\u00adceive things in a more
\nclear-sight\u00aded way. You need to keep dig\u00adging deep\u00ader, chal\u00adleng\u00ading your
\nassump\u00adtions and look\u00ading at the world around you again, and then shift
\nper\u00adspec\u00adtive and look again in order to move clos\u00ader to what is True. This is
\nyour nev\u00ader-end\u00ading pur\u00adsuit, you mov\u00ading ever deep\u00ader and high\u00ader, to your goal of Cosmic
\nCon\u00adscious\u00adness, where you begin to see it revealed to you, as you draw ever
\nnear\u00ader and it makes you catch your breath\u2026you smile and gaze into the won\u00adder, into the
\nheart of your real\u00adi\u00adty, your home and destiny.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s shift of per\u00adspec\u00adtive comes
\nto you now as Mer\u00adcury turns ret\u00adro\u00adgrade for the next 3 weeks, he turns around
\nand goes back\u00adwards and all sorts of things will go awry\u2026devices will
\nbreak\u00addown, mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings will pro\u00adlif\u00ader\u00adate, and it all will be blamed on
\nMer\u00adcury going retrograde\u2026but what goes on here, does he real\u00adly go backwards?<\/p>\n

Well, of course he does not go
\nback\u00adwards! It just is how it appears to you here on Earth as Mer\u00adcury pass\u00ades you
\nby on his \u201cinside track\u201d between you and the Sun\u2026That is why you must
\nunder\u00adstand what he offers you here. You need to see this for what it can and
\nshould be for you, to lis\u00adten to the stars as they point the way towards
\nadvanc\u00ading your under\u00adstand\u00ading and mov\u00ading you that much clos\u00ader to the truth\u2026for
\nyour sto\u00adry is there, writ\u00adten in starlight by Radi\u00adant Beings of Glory.<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury is draw\u00ading clos\u00ader to you
\nwhile ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, brush\u00ading by while turn\u00ading your aware\u00adness and atten\u00adtion upon
\nmore intro\u00adspec\u00adtive path\u00adways, towards self-reflec\u00adtion, intro\u00adspec\u00adtion and
\ncon\u00adtem\u00adpla\u00adtion. You can probe deep\u00ader into your\u00adself so that you may peel away
\nsome of the lay\u00aders of assump\u00adtions and old data points and con\u00adsid\u00ader Spirit\/Matter
\nwith a refreshed view\u2026your focus and atten\u00adtion is turned within\u2026<\/p>\n

Of course, that is part of the
\nprob\u00adlem and source of errors now, because \u201clife\u201d and the real world\u2019s
\ndemands upon you and every\u00adone else have not changed\u2026it would be nice if you
\ncould go on a retreat or vaca\u00adtion and mull things over for 3 weeks\u2026but that
\nis unlike\u00adly! Instead, many peo\u00adple will pro\u00adceed as if noth\u00ading has changed and bump
\ninto these \u201cannoy\u00adances\u201d of Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade which will be mostly
\nself-inflict\u00aded. That is because by being so turned inward (and not being aware
\nof that), many of the ordi\u00adnary hints and clues you per\u00adceive about your world
\nand dis\u00adcern from oth\u00aders will be lacking\u2026That is why mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings and
\nmis\u00adcom\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtions mul\u00adti\u00adply at a time like this\u2026it is as if the whole world is
\nsuf\u00adfer\u00ading from Atten\u00adtion Deficit Disorder!<\/p>\n

So your first step is to look
\nyour\u00adself in the mir\u00adror and say out loud, \u201cOkay, pay atten\u00adtion!\u201d (Maybe
\nyou should even add a lit\u00adtle slap to your face to star\u00adtle your\u00adself into being
\npresent and atten\u00adtive). You need to com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adcate with even greater care, so always
\nfol\u00adlow up with every\u00adone to make sure that he or she: 1) Got the mes\u00adsage, and 2)
\nUnder\u00adstood the mes\u00adsage. Then you, for your own part, need to receive with care,
\nalways re-con\u00adfirm\u00ading with some\u00adone that this is what they meant\u2026Now if you do
\nthis, you should have less trouble\u2026but of course, every\u00adone else around you
\nwill be in this same fix and not hav\u00ading fun with this at all! Your best policy,
\nas always, is be patient and show under\u00adstand\u00ading to those who do not yet
\nunder\u00adstand what is going on\u2026<\/p>\n

But you should also take advantage
\nof what Mer\u00adcury is offer\u00ading here\u2026This is one of those times when your
\nmar\u00advelous fac\u00adul\u00adty of self-reflec\u00adtion (and your won\u00addrous abil\u00adi\u00adty for self-cor\u00adrec\u00adtion and improve\u00adment), can be most
\ngain\u00adful\u00adly engaged. So use these next 3 weeks to repair your per\u00adcep\u00adtions, clean
\nup your thoughts by ques\u00adtion\u00ading your assump\u00adtions and con\u00adsid\u00ader how you came by your so-called
\n\u201cfacts\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

The first peri\u00adod of Mercury
\nret\u00adro\u00adgrade, until Novem\u00adber 14, will take place in the sign of Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius then
\nfor the sec\u00adond part of the ret\u00adro\u00adgrade Her\u00admes will take you \u201cback\u201d
\nthrough Scor\u00adpio until he turns Direct on Novem\u00adber 26. He will then move forward
\nand final\u00adly get back to re-enter Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius on Decem\u00adber 10.<\/p>\n

Dur\u00ading the first phase, while in
\nSagit\u00adtar\u00adius, you have the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to look again at your underlying
\nassump\u00adtions that cre\u00adate your Par\u00ada\u00addigm, the real\u00adi\u00adty view for you. You can
\nques\u00adtion your Ideals and Prin\u00adci\u00adples and Truths, because Mer\u00adcury offers you an
\nArchimedean point of open-mind\u00aded\u00adness that is seem\u00ading\u00adly out\u00adside of your\u00adself. You
\nare bet\u00adter able to look at your assump\u00adtions with more objec\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty and won\u00adder to
\nyour\u00adself if they do indeed reveal or mask the greater real\u00adi\u00adty around you. <\/p>\n

To do this you must take the path of
\nWis\u00addom, which requires that you bow your head and admit that no mat\u00adter how
\nmuch you think you under\u00adstand, no mat\u00adter how far you have walked upon the path
\nto High\u00ader Under\u00adstand\u00ading, you have to acknowl\u00adedge that you still do not know
\nwhat you do not know. That your most impor\u00adtant approach to this life after life jour\u00adney should be that of
\nAccep\u00adtance and Humil\u00adi\u00adty before the Mys\u00adter\u00adies and Unknown (and the Unknowable).\u2026and that you must fol\u00adlow the injunc\u00adtion ever offered to those who seek to know,
\n\u201cWalk On\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dur\u00ading the sec\u00adond phase, while in
\nScor\u00adpio, you are more able to exam\u00adine your per\u00adcep\u00adtions (and misperceptions)
\nabout the nature of your Unions and Joint Ven\u00adtures, of how you join with one or
\nwith many oth\u00aders. As you reach across that divide of I and Thou, as you learn
\nto com\u00adbine with one anoth\u00ader in your shared space of Union, you dis\u00adcov\u00ader more
\nabout who you tru\u00adly are and become much, much more than you ever thought
\npossible. <\/p>\n

To make this pos\u00adsi\u00adble, to open
\nyour\u00adself and cre\u00adate that space of vul\u00adner\u00ada\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty requires that you understand
\nwhat must be offered up, what you must and should sacrifice\u2026and what you must
\nhold to in order to be true to your\u00adself too. This is what Mer\u00adcury retrograde
\ncan help you to dis\u00adcern now\u2026he can help you to parse the less\u00ader from the
\ngreater and move you clos\u00ader to your\u00adself as you move clos\u00ader to one anoth\u00ader and
\nform the more per\u00adfect We.<\/p>\n

Yes, cel\u00ade\u00adbrate Mercury\/Hermes as he
\ntakes you upon his jour\u00adney of Self-Discovery\u2026<\/p>\n

Set aside some pre\u00adcious time for your Introspections
\nand Contemplations\u2026<\/p>\n

Look with\u00adin, look around and then
\nlook to the Heav\u00aden\u2019s above\u2026and you will smile.<\/p>\n

Your Answers are to be found there, oh yes they are!<\/p>\n

See them there\u2026in the Radi\u00adance, in the Glo\u00adry of the Stars!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
