MERCURY RETROGRADE February 6, 2014 - ASTROLOGY

Mercury goes retrograde 3 to 4 times each year.  Mercury will be going retrograde from February 6  through February 28, 2014.  It will moves through the sign of Pisces and then into Aquarius.  It is suggested that Mercury retrograde will affect those individuals that were born with Mercury retrograde in their Birth Charts more than those who were born with it direct. 

Make note of the house placement of Mercury in your horoscope.  Also note if it conjuncts any planet or angle during its motion.  The sign it is in during this time will be reflective of mental adjustments aligned with the sign where it is located in your Natal chart.  It may also affect the area of life dictated by the house position.  You must also take into account the placement of Mercury’s in your Natal chart--its house position and the aspects to it.  Much of what your Natal chart suggests may be area’s that will be affected by Mercury’s transit.

Mercury retrograde is not a huge life-changing event; however, it deserves mention due to the fact that Mercury is associated with the workings of the mind.  As Mercury begins to slow down or at least appear to slow down, some individuals experience a slowing of daily affairs and one will have time to reflect and contemplate life’s events.  It is considered a chance to go over old material that you may have ignored or left buried.  You may review decisions or try to make decisions but remember that quite often the best laid plans go astray during the retrograde motion.  It is best to wait until Mercury has completed its retrograde cycle before you move forward in the direction you choose.  It seems that the odds of things working well are often greater after Mercury goes direct.

It is suggested that one remains flexible during times of Mercury retrograde and not to sign any agreements or written documents.  There is a better success rate after retrograde motion is finalized.  If Mercury is not making contacts with Natal planets or is not very poorly aspected in the Birth chart, you need not worry as things remain relatively tame and little interferes will occur with plans. 

This is a time of self-study.  This is a time to reflect on who you are and what steps you might take to improve your self image.  Often individuals have issues return from the past; some lesson not quite learned or a concept failed.  It is now revisiting to give you the opportunity to finish that which needs to be completed.  You may now have the opportunity to make alternate plans, changes in direction, correct judgement calls or to get back on course after an errant turn.  These opportunities will present themselves when Mercury is direct in motion again.

It suggests that people and personal ideas are often the key to moving forward in a sound direction.  Some experience insights on alternate levels that propel them forward in a new direction.  In most cases unless highly afflicted (in the Natal chart and afflicted in the transit through connection with planets or angles), it is usually not a time to be overly concerned as very little may actually happen. 

Use this time to activate your mental process as the mental process is stimulated.  This could be the time that you discover hidden channels especially when Mercury moves through Pisces from the February 6 to February 13, 2014.
