HOW DOES THIS MERCURY GOING DIRECT AFFECT ME?
Mercury is the ruler of communication. I would strongly urge all of you to go the http://www.medicinegarden.com and find useful articles in our ASTROLOGY DEPARTMENT.
WHO IS AFFECTED DIRECTLY ON November 17, 2006?
Mercury goes direct on November 17, 2006 at 9 degrees of Scorpio 05 (opposite sign is 9 Taurus) at 4:25 p.m., PST. This means SCORPIO people with birthdays October 30th through November 5th are active with November 2nd the most affected day, are involved in this planetary movement.
By opposite sign, TAURUS, those most affected are born between April 26th through May 3rd are involved with April 29th, being the most affected.
WHO ELSE CAN BE AFFECTED IN THIS DIRECT MOTION?
Anyone with planets between 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 degrees of any sign, are affected by this. Or if you have your ascendant or midheaven is at one of these degrees, you will be affected. The most affected degree is 9, and that is the degree that Mercury goes direct on.
MERCURY DIRECT AT AN IMPORTANT TIME IN THE COSMOS
Usually, Mercury turning direct is pretty ho-hum. There’s little impact seen outside of those directly affected by it from a degree/sign standpoint. However, this November , 2006, is a horse of a different color and you may want to take advantage of this seemingly chaotic month. November is, no question, Pandora’s Box. But, the box is open and we might as well look at what’s in it!
There is a highly unusual Cosmic Event taking place on November 19, 2006. It is Uranus going direct at 10 Pisces less than forty-eight hours after Mercury goes direct; so we ought to see some incredible breakthroughs and sudden turn of events and surprises as a result. See my article: Uranus goes Direct November 19, 2006 and Thanksgiving is full of surprises. Suffice to say, Mercury going direct and then this Cosmic Gift on November 19th, is important. It means we all need to be focused, grounded, aware and prepared to be flexible and bend with unexpected circumstances that may sweep through our personal or collective lives no matter where we live at in the world. Uranus going direct on November 19th is going to RELEASE at lot of pent-up tension and its going to fly everywhere. Of course, if you’re a Pisces or Virgo, this means major changes in a heartbeat. Others will be less affected, but still can find major transitions in their lives by aspect to this erratic and shocking planet.
I see that Mercury going direct shortly before this event is preparing us. The elections will be over but you can bet that when it was done under a retrograde, the underdogs won the day. And there’s a lot of fall out from underdogs suddenly becoming top dawgs and the top dawgs falling far below. You will see a major change in politics and the House may well go Democrat, finally wresting control away from dictatorial President Bush. Further, there may well be computer voting glitches and this may DELAY the accounting and many races and their outcomes won’t be known until November 17th through 19th. And if this does occur, you can bet there’s going to be huge, unexpected surprises and people who weren’t thought to have a chance--win the election. So, stand by for a groundswell from the American public that will more than likely leave Bush and his super conservative chums gasping.
Mercury direct requires we be grounded. And if you don’t know how to ‘ground’ here’s a quick, easy way to do it on the day that this Eclipse occurs so you can take full part in it: Visualize beautiful silver tree roots gently entwining a couple of times around each of your ankles. Visualize or see the tip of the tree root going down through the center of each of your feet. See this tree root then moving 100 to 200 feet down into Mother Earth.
Now, that’s easy enough to do! So be sure to do it. Take time out on November 19th to be quiet, meditate, use your Vesica Pisces circles (see my Eclipse article or my article: PREPARING FOR THE GLOBAL SHIFT and moving to the LIGHT from the DARK: How to Do It by Eileen Nauman, DHM(UK) http://medicinegarden.com/metaphysics/globalshift2006.html
We are having a lifetime event occur at the middle of November. There’s no accident Mercury is going direct days ahead of time for all of us to be ‘here’, in our body, awake, conscious and taking part in this cosmic fairy dust filled with the magic of the magical and unexpected Uranus initiation if we want it.
WHAT MERCURY DIRECT MEANS TO US
Here's a list of some of the things you can expect from a Mercury going DIRECT. Keep in mind that they won't all happen to you! Just one or two, usually. However, if you have a natal Mercury in conjunction with the transiting (daily motion of a planet) Mercury, then your life is going to be strongly affected by that retrograde!!
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
First of all, any LIES, DECEPTION, FRAUD and trying to hide pertinent and lifesaving information from the public, is going to be EXPOSED. Particularly watch the ‘shadow’ week before Mercury goes direct. This would be November 9, 2006 through November 17, 2006. Lots of information will bubble up to the surface between now and then. More ‘truth’ will show up.
Any type of transportation, which falls under Mercury, can be a target during the time it was retrograde; subways, busses, planes, trucks, and trains. We all need stay watchful during this time; especially the last seven days before it goes direct. We are in the ‘shadow’ time shortly, and that makes it more intense than usual.
WHAT OTHER THINGS CAN MERCURY DIRECT DO?
1. Expect to be decisive on your part--or on the part of others. People have been muddling around, hesitate, or won't be sure of themselves under a retrograde. Making a decision during a Mercury. direct transit--whatever they decided to do will remain as such. It will not change. Men and women will no longer be miscommunication. One is speaking Chinese and the other, French!! Well, now they at least will be speaking the SAME language. Partners have had to really work at saying what they really mean because assumptions will no longer abound during this time and what you say is how how you meant it. Big-time communications snafus will no longer complicate your life on a personal and professional level. No more foot-in-mouth disease as Mercury turns direct!!!
2. Signing a contract, agree to something, buy a car/boat/house/animal or start up a new project under a Mercury Direct is fine. I would advise you to wait at least a WEEK until after Mercury is direct to do this. The contract will be honored. The car you bought will turn out to be fine (no lemon)!! The boat will not have problems, structural or otherwise. The house you bought will not be a "money pit" and the owner did not reveal all the problems the house had--but you inherited them!! The animal you bought (dog/cat/horse or whatever) will not have some real 'hidden' problems that you could not see upon first perusal or inspection.
Projects begun after Mercury turns direct will turn out as expected. No hidden surprises or changes--but with Uranus going direct soon after, there MAY be some changes, so be expecting it!
3. You can buy mechanical things, appliances, computers, software or anything else like that during this period--they will work right!
I might add that this a time when mechanical failures finally stop happening. DISK CRASHES which were commonplace will stop. Thank goodness!
4. It's okay to travel long-distance during a Mercury direct because Mercury is the ruler of travel by any conveyance. There will not be delays, equipment (like a plane or car) will break down during this period. Travel won't try your patience during this period. Equipment failure is finally ebbing away. ANY type of equipment--not just computers.
5. Mercury rules our thinking processes. Believe me, folks, we are finally going to be able to think clearly or coherently. We become less forgetful. You won't get lost in traffic or lost in a shopping center, and you'll remember where you put something. Things that got LOST and MISPLACED big time, will suddenly and inexplicably--show up! Our orderly thinking returns. Our minds quiet down. Insomnia is no longer rampant.
6. Delays--on everything, are finally over! You're not late for an appointment. And no one is going to lose your appointment! The company promised it would be there on a certain day--and it will be there--on that day! Under a Mercury. D, it will be there, when promised. People will show up at the right time. The punctual schedule is back in vogue. You'll be on time--there won't be unexpected delay on the freeway/turnpike, or the other person arrives on time.
7. Your mind is returns from La La Land and else the nuts and bolts of everyday life/demands/things, returns. Your concentration returns and you don't have to struggle to focus, concentrate, retain or remember.
Gemini and Virgo sun sign people are ruled natally by Mercury, tend to get more upset over Mercury Retrograde periods because they're such picky perfectionists and they really do expect their lives to go like clockwork and God forbid they be late for an appointment--HORRORS!! For them, it's a major crisis if that occurs. For them, Mercury retrograde periods are discombobulating because they can't be perfect or strive for that near-perfection for three weeks, three or four times a year. If they can 'get over' this need to be perfect or always on-time, then it's not such a stressful period for them :-).
Now, Virgo’s and Gemini's can rest, take a deep breath and stop feeling like someone stole half their brain. Even though they are not affected directly by this particular Mercury going direct, they still get influenced by it “just because” it is their natal planetary ruler.
WITH MERCURY GOING DIRECT YOU WANT TO...
1. Finish up on something--Mercury Direct is a wonderful time to wrap up projects, attend to details, and yes, clean up your messy desk, reorganize things, it will all fall into magical place now, shortly after the retrograde motion is over. Your telephone starts ringing, email flow increases, faxes are more numerous , and generally, a period of quiet is over and the frantic activity replaces it.
2. If you have a project that has lain around a long time and you just never got around to it--now is the time to look at it more closely and decide if its worth your investment in time and energy--if it isn't, during this time, you'll more than likely drop it permanently--or get serious about resurrecting it or completing it--successfully!
3. Lies, deceit, cheating and sneaky actions by others or yourself, will come to light during a Mercury Retrograde period. It's the the long arm of Karma unveiling such negative things. If you think you duped someone--wait--during this period is when it will come to light and boy, will you be caught 'red handed'!!! Or, if someone said something behind your back--it will get back to you during this time frame. Or, if you were in some way cheated, duped or lied to, you will find out about it now. All these possibilities came to light; now with Mercury going direct you have a clean slate, so to speak. Anything hidden, has come to light and now it's time to get on with the forward motion of your life once more. It is interesting to me that Haggard, the head of the Evangelical movement, lied and now is being ‘outed’ by his male lover and being called a hypocrite by him. Such is the way Mercury turning direct works.
4. Your daily routine is back-so, "go with the flow". You'll be less day-dreamy, less spacy, more....of 'something'--so just go 'there.' This is a great time for outer/external experiences. It's wonderful for doing external work. You're a lot less inclined to want quiet, to be alone, or do meditational types of things (which are internal work and energy)..
5. This is a great time to start new projects of any kind--big or small. Wash the windows! Paint that cabinet! Start that brainchild project that has been there silently asking for completion. Dust that room! Take down the spider webs!
Best of all, life gets back on a more or less “normal” routine or “rut” that many of us cherish. When Mercury is retrograde, it all goes in the toilet and gets flushed. Now the Cosmic Toilet of Life is back on line and we can breath a deep sigh of relief at least in that quadrant of our lives! Routine is back. Constancy will return. So will our sanity for those of us who feel like our rut got ripped out from under us. Let’s hear it for the humdrum of life. We get it back on November 17th up to a point--we still have an incredible New Moon Eclipse, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, coming our way on November 29th!
OTHER HELP, OTHERS TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR YOU...
I don't believe we have to SUFFER endlessly through change. We do not go through life alone, although I know, many times, it sure feels that way. If you could realize that Great Spirit is always with you, and that you have an army of guides (guardian angels to some) that are there, too, you aren’t alone. There are many ‘tools’ out there to help increase your evolutionary rate and to take advantage of such a special release of energy that is coming our way shortly. If you are drawn to one of these ‘tools’ by these counselors, please take advantage of their services before the eclipse and initiation.
