Mercury stationed direct on Tuesday the 29th–the day my internet went out. A car down the street spun out of control and my neighbor’s house fell out of escrow. Astrologers say that life gets better when Mercury goes direct. But Mercury awakens from its sleep time slowly. The ideas we race forward with may yet be unstable—or even upside-down. (Indeed: The Democrats failed to pass the health care public option in committee, but did agree to fund abstinence-only education, something proven not to work!) During the days of Mercury’s direct station, we are still dreamers awakening from a dream. Go forward carefully, and wait for that moment (you’ll feel it) when your mind is clear, your will is strong, and your feet are touching the ground. Enjoy your competence. And make plenty of progress before Mars goes retrograde in December!
Go forth, but not too quickly

I was born with Mercury retrograde, I’m fine until it stations direct everytime.
Peace
Good point. Beware the shadow period! Two days ago my extremely wizzo, turbo charged Powermac G5 crashed and died for no apparent reason. It will not reboot and I’ve tried all the geeky tricks.
So I had sailed thru the retrograde only to get this slap in the face once it turned direct.
I just learned about a thing called the “Mercury Storm” from Jim Shawvan. Google it, but briefly, when Mercury is moving really really slowly around the station, less then 40′ a day, it’s in the storm and can be quite pernicious! The snafus, says Jim, can peak around this time.
