Mercury or Hermes is one of the messengers. He is seen as a man with winged hat and wings
on his feet. He is rather cunning and influences travel, financial gain,
literature and poetry.
He has also been seen as a symbol in the postal service as
the mail men and women pride themselves on their swiftness and care with the
mail.
Universally he is also seen very much of a Universal pot
stirrer. For this reason some are
cautious.
Cosmically we are now in a Mercury retrograde. Well, what
does that mean? First look at the word retrograde which means to move
backwards. When Mercury is in a retrograde it appears as though the planets are
going in a backwards direction. This is an illusion called retrograde motion.
You see the Universal pot stirrers have a very important
role in the Universe. They keep things
moving.
Now is a perfect time for this retrograde. The Spring will
be upon us soon and time to shake out the cobwebs. Remove all the stagnant
energy and make room for the freshness of Spring.
Many may become rather tense during retrogrades as things
may come to the fore again. This is not
a time to go backwards this is a time to see the lessons learned there and not
make the same mistakes, also tying up any loose ends as it were. Clean out the old baggage to make room for
more awesomeness.
This can well be a time to affirm how far we have come. If
you are particularly intuitive your intuition will be on high, and beautiful
“coincidences” can flow into your life.
Look for them.
As with anything we can choose to look at it as a curse or a
blessing.
Since now there is an illusion of backwards where so many
see negative why not us that backwards and choose to see all as awesome.
