Inner Planet
Realignment with Venus and Mercury

Venus Stations
Direct
Morning Star Venus
greets us first on our Friday with a shift of perspective in matters
of the heart. Throughout her retrograde, she has taken us back over
Scorpio and Libra lessons of sharing and relating. As she pauses now
on the 26th degree of Libra...we’re focused on the heart
healing we must now integrate as we move forward again. This is the
third pass of her journey through the last degrees of Libra and the
first degrees of Scorpio. We’ve been here before...but did we find
something valuable in that previous Inner World experience that we
can now bring back to the Outer World to inspire love in others? It
depends on if you were able to shift your own perspective for the
past ‘40 days and 40 nights’. Most of us had no choice but to
ride that Scorpio wave back to the airy realms of Libra lessons.
There were some trials along the way, for sure, during this Heroine’s
Journey. Did you hear Venus’s call?
For some of us, she
joined us on a rescue mission to save something we value most. In
September, what we thought was important may not have been as
important as what we returned to since October 5th. And
now that love medicine from Venus’s Retrograde is concentrated and
focused...we’re preparing to put it all back into balanced
alignment through our relationships with others now. Intimate
partnerships are in focus, but also every exchange of relationship we
encounter in the world is set to move forward with more wisdom. If
you found love for yourself through the experiences you went through
recently, you’ll soon feel the Green Light to let it shine and
attract meaningful relationships to you.
The Sabian Symbol
for Venus’s direct station is ‘an eagle and a large dove change
into one another’. This is the same degree of Libra where Pluto
Retrograde was when I was born...so there is a transformational soul
urge that arises here for me. The bird medicine within this image
speaks to the ‘two as one’ relationship of the Higher Mind with
the Resonant Heart. They are attuned to the Soul’s Alchemy, and
teach us to express it through the gifts we each hold. What we’ve
learned over the past 40 days is how to shapeshift into balanced
power within ourselves. Now we are guided to help each other shine
it out into our world.
Mercury Stations
Retrograde
Several hours later,
Mercury shifts in the other direction. The pre-shadow of Mercury’s
retrograde began on October 28th. It stations retrograde
tonight in Sagittarius. This Mercury Retrograde lasts until Mercury
stations direct on December 6th, while the post-shadow
period lasts until December 24th (when we integrate what
we’ll be learning here).
Mercury is a neutral
guide whose lessons are of the mental realm. When stationing
retrograde, our thought processes pause and shift into a completely
different way of thinking. An idea, a thought, or our mentality
needs some revision. Something you were communicating since the end
of October may need some review after a change of perspective. And,
for the love of Mercury, can we please drop the hangups about Mercury
Retrogrades being a terrible time where we should just avoid
everything because nothing works? That mindset never helped anyone
grasp the real medicine in a Mercury Retrograde. It just makes
people more inclined to ignore what needs to happen thrice a year at
these times. Humans NEED times of review through different
perspectives. Thoughts are things, as we know, and if we’re just
speeding along on one note for too long...we’re often missing the
point and filling our lives with mindstuff that we don’t even need.
When Mercury Retrograde comes along, it’s often time for some
mental clean up.
In these times, it
can be difficult to communicate how you normally would. This is
because we’re not as used to this sort of loopy Wonderland
perspective...we’re used to linear thought processes and
rationality. Well, most people are anyway. Some people thrive in
this more right-brained perspective. If you’re very intent on all
things being rational, you’ll have more trouble communicating what
you want to say and more trouble communicating with others going
through a similar Wonderland experience where things seem opposite or
illogical. You’re first clue that a change in your perspective is
necessary during a retrograde, is if you’re still judging things as
illogical! Perhaps it’s time to sit with the Hatter and have some
tea.
Since Mercury is in
Sagittarius, the collective mind is focused on exploration and
expansion. You can look at this retrograde as a kind of Vision
Quest, which may help you to find the wisdom medicine that will
eventually move you forward next month. Limiting beliefs and thought
patterns are under review. A promising idea is incubating now...and
we are going within to retrieve the things that will feed it and help
it grow. This process is one that means to free your mind. So allow
for burning away the kind of mindstuff that’s not serving
you...release it into the Sagittarian fire and purify your intent.
This Mercury Station
is in the 14th degree of Sagittarius. The Sabian Symbol
for this degree is ‘the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx’. Ancient
spiritual traditions and ancestral knowledge are calling us at this
time...reconnecting us to wisdom of the past that has enduring
resonance. Many great achievements on our Earth, that continue to
inspire us, came from ideas that were once revised during Mercury
Retrogrades. It is quite possible that, with more of us tapped in at
this time to this Vision Quest, a collective thought-form that holds
lasting wisdom can be birthed from all of our re-considered ideas
combined. This is a time of re-connecting with the Spirit within
Humanity. Mercury’s calling us to seek freedom from enslavement to
an unjust and broken system that has riddled our minds with things of
little significance. All it takes is a shift in perspective.
Perhaps, after this retrograde, something very significant will take
shape that can last for many generations to come.
It is important to
note that Mercury is near the part of our zodiac where the Great
Attractor is. The
Great Attractor is a
supercluster of 100,000 galaxies, 250 million light years from our
solar system. It is where we are all being pulled toward with great
speed...a kind of ‘grand central sun’ for an even greater number
of galaxies than our Galactic Center. Mercury
is pooling our focus here now, reminding us that we are carriers of
light codes from many galaxies of stars. It’s quite an expansive
message from our Messenger Planet. We’ll all be receiving our own
pieces of this greater message at this time. And, by the end of
December, we’ll have a better understanding of how best to
communicate all we’ve learned.
Love
and Gratitude,
