Mercury Goes Direct In Libra
Finally, after a very long and confusing month and a half, Mercury - the messenger of the Gods, ruling over our mental planes, information, and communication - is going direct! We have been bombarded with information and details that haven’t necessarily been true all planned and plotted to confuse us into a state of not knowing. Not knowing essentially strips the trust of outside sources (government, media, healthcare, etc.) and causes a great awakening within one’s self.
Mercury went retrograde on October 13th, after having just entered into the depths and darkness of Scorpio waters. Dark truths and corruption were highlighted before mercury was essentially drugged, falling asleep at the wheel. Besides the normal disruptions in technology, plans and appointments, communications and thinking clearly, this particular mercury retrograde also provided a beautifully painful and uncomfortable opportunity for people to wake up and trust their intuition.
Mercury slowed his role in our lives as he remained unconscious, dazed and confused of his surroundings, backtracking through the early degrees of scorpio. Mercury slipped back into the final degrees of Libra which, although didn’t help much, got us out of the dark probing energy of scorpio waters.
Mercury asleep in Libra gave us a chance to revisit some of our relationship issues and made us face some of the misunderstandings we experienced in our personal connections. Mercury was retrograde for the very rare Taurus Blue Full moon on Halloween which just helped give us a solid stage to shut our critical minds down even further to allow the energetic knowledge of the spirit realm flow into our consciousness that much easier.
Now with Mercury going direct, he will essentially “come to” from his deep, drugged sleep while retrograde and will need a bit of time to get his bearings before starting to piece together all the details and information he received while unconscious.
He’ll be in his shadow period trying to make sense of all that transpired while he was asleep and it couldn’t come at a more interesting time than today - the USA elections. Because mercury is waking up in Libra, we are going to see a huge divide between our hearts and our heads, and between two very extreme groups of people, thoughts, opinions and ideas. Libra energy will help to find peace and balance in those extremes, and help mediate the situation to a point of fairness. But again, it’s going to take 2 weeks for mercury to be thinking, seeing, and speaking clearly. We will likely see chaos ensue, misinformation from all sides, and a need for higher ranking courts and governing bodies to help make a fair judgement - both on the global stage and in our personal lives.
Mercury will then re-enter scorpio on November 10th, pushing us to get to the bottom of the truth as we wade through the details of lies and corruption to find a middle ground as painful and as uncomfortable as it may be. Mercury’s shadow period gives us all a chance to retrace all that has happened and essentially give those not yet awake to what’s going on in the world a second wake up call. The energetic war that is taking place in our cosmos is being reflected on the global stage here in the 3D realm and make no mistake, we are in uncharted waters from here on out.
Will will have to revisit some ideas that got pushed to the side. We get a fresh set of eyes to see where obstacle still need to be resolved, and we get a chance to have the conversations we need to have in order to clear the air. Until mercury is full alert and awake we will struggle to make sense of things, but receive clarity bit by bit.
