Mercury Retrogrades in Libra
Mercury retrogrades are always a bit of an emotional and mental disaster as we are forced to look back on the past, revisit some themes and topics, and revise our plans for the future. Mercury has just slipped back into Libra where we will get a chance to revisit some relationship issues and some topics and themes around balance.
Mercury had entered into Libra back on September 5th, and had us very focused on where we were living life in extremes. This realization helped us to restore peace, harmony, and fairness in those relationships as we fought tirelessly to see what and who was worth the energy.
Mercury moved into Scorpio on September 27th where we got to play detective in our inner worlds to pull of the shadow parts of us that we tried so hard to push back and keep repressed. Mercury in Scorpio is about the quest for truth no matter how dark or painful it may be. Once mercury went retrograde in Scorpio, all bets were off. Mercury is essentially asleep at the wheel - we couldn’t rely on logic to solve issues rather we had to lean in to our intuition and trust that it would steer us in the right direction.
Now that some dark truths have emerged, corruption and lies have been revealed, and the raw details have emerged from the dark murky waters of scorpio, mercury will slip back into Libra where we get a second chance to see things from a different perspective. Now we can see very clearly the cut and dry truth of where we need to focus our attention. Who is worth the time and energy to keep around, and where we desperately need peace to infiltrate our lives giving us a bit of a break.
Mercury retrograding in Libra should reveal profound insights on what is fair. What we need need as individuals, and what we need as a team. Conversations of depth and purpose will be easier to have. Self worth and inner value has levelled up, and using others as a mirror to see our own wounds still needing to be healed will give us the clarity and direction we’ve been lacking. Make no mistake though, mercury is still very much asleep. The libra energy is naturally indecisive and constantly looking for external validation, and mercury retrograding in libra under the scorpio season won’t be a clear mental game, instead we are still heavily reliant on our intuition and trusting the universe to guide the way.
There is some added fuel to the fire as mars and Chiron oppose mercury’s backsteps in libra. This is where our frustrations and old traumas come out to be healed. Because scorpio season gives us the power to transform even the greatest of pains into absolute and total power, you can bet that we will have some deep revelations exposed in our psyche to help us regain our footing and power.
Cosmically and ironically enough, mercury will go direct in libra on November 3, election day. These past weeks of dark truths, exposed corruptions and misinformation will lead to a very interesting sorting of details as we move forward. Mercury will be in it’s shadow period until mid November where it will creep back into Scorpio for another shot at making sense of some very dark and serious topics transforming our inner worlds and the grander collective’s consciousness.

Full Moon In Aries
Today’s Full Moon in Aries is going to be a doozy to those of us consciously aware, and willing to acknowledge our childhood traumas. Aries, known as the child of the Zodiac; is a sign full of energy and passion, and sometimes known to throw tantrums and be hot-headed when things don’t go their way. Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, is all about initiating new beginnings, starting new projects, and new life paths.
Full Moons traditionally illuminate topics, thoughts, feelings and beliefs within us that need attention in order to transform. This particular Full Moon in Aries is packing a powerful punch, because it is blending together with the energy of Chiron, our wounded healer “planetoid”. This is a favourable aspect even though it’s not going to be fun. This favourable aspect and alignment takes place for the evolvement of our Souls, not for our human comfort levels. Chiron triggers our inner most childhood memories and trauma, and when blended with the Aries Full Moon energy, we are able to recognize those wounds, process them in a way that honours their place in our upbringing and survival, and then we can consciously rewrite the structures that now differ from our inner child's point of view.
Have you ever made a statement that you literally stopped and asked yourself, "Do I really feel that way?" "Where did I learn this thought, belief, or behaviour?" When you get real and start asking yourself the real tough questions about who you are, and how you became this person, you get to decipher what thoughts and beliefs are actually yours, and what are those that others instilled in you. More than likely, you will uncover the fact that many of the belief structures, responses, and reactions were learned from your parents, and childhood environment. Most of the thoughts we have of our past is that made up of a childhood perspective.
Have you gone back to un-learn everything you were ever taught?
The last 5 months has rattled structures and foundations in many people's lives. Roles and responsibilities have been questioned, re-examined, and re-evaluated. Careers have been lost and left behind, leaving many of us having experienced the great awakening in some aspect of our lives. All of this perfect planetary action has taken place to build you up to this moment, where Chiron will team up with Aries in illuminating, or shining a bright light on, the areas of your life that need healing and restructuring. You will be triggered in a way to become aware of these topics. Give them some good thinking time, as the Full Moon intensifies those feelings of past hurts and traumas.
Under Libra's influence of fairness and lovingly gentle ways, recognizing these pains will not hurt nearly as bad, or for nearly as long as before. We are in a beautiful time where time itself, is accelerated. We are able to learn and process information much quicker now. We are literally in an intense, Soul-evolvement bootcamp. We’ve been under intense energy for a very long period of time. So much so, that we are learning life lessons at an accelerated rate! This is all in efforts to raise the global vibration as we focus on raising the vibration within ourselves first.
The really interesting part about this Full Moon, is that it is helping to close out a 20 year cycle of karma as Saturn just stationed direct, along with preparing us for Pluto to go direct on the 4th. Here we have Chiron and the Moon emphasizing all the things we need to start over; new thoughts, new beliefs, new ways of doing our day-to-day routines. Pluto is the planet of transformation. Under this energy, we are able to take all the realizations we have under the Full Moon influence, and be ready to implement action in the areas in which things aren't working for us, and transform it into something that does. This isn't about identifying what isn’t working for us and learning to let it go, this is about recognizing what isn’t working for us in life, and molding it into something that does!
