Mercury is poised to enter its “shadow period” before
its official retrograde commences on January 5, 2016 in 1 degree of
Aquarius. But most of this Mercury
retrograde will be concentrated on the sign of Capricorn. Mercury will enter the shadow on December 19,
2015 in 14 degrees of Capricorn and will continue transiting the sign of
Capricorn before it stations retrograde on January 5th in 1 degree
of Aquarius. Mercury will station direct
in 14 degrees of Capricorn on January 25, 2016 and will officially leave the “shadow
period” on February 14, 2016. In 1 degree of Aquarius. So, Valentine’s
Day should be really special in 2016, and the potential for mixed messages will
be eliminated.
When Mercury enters its retrograde shadow on December 19th
it will also be conjuncting Pluto in 14 degrees of Capricorn. Communication could get really intense on
this day. On the following day, December
20th, Mercury will be squaring Uranus in 16 degrees of Aries. This aspect is ripe with potential for
surprises and shocking revelations.
Major decisions may need to be made and there are definitely more changes
coming. We may find ourselves open to
new ideas that alter the course of our future and we may find ourselves
speaking our truth even more forcefully than usual. Mercury aspecting both
Pluto and Uranus on two consecutive days will definitely trigger the shock
waves that reverberated from the seven exact Uranus Pluto squares that ran
their course from 2012 through 2015.
Although we won’t experience any more exact Uranus Pluto squares, the
weekend of December 19-20th will come pretty to close to bringing back
that roller coaster feeling of conflict between structure and change. And it will resurface again during the first
week of February 2016. This could be an anxious, mentally exhausting weekend.
How will people experience Mercury’s shadow retrograde? Be mindful that when Mercury enters the
shadow period, the very things we associate with Mercury retrograde- delays in
communications and transportation, avoiding signing contracts or accepting new
jobs, and purchase of electronic goods are fraught with potential to go
astray. I hope that everyone has
purchased all of their electronic gifts by now.
Mercury retrograde is all about the RE:
reschedule, rethink, reevaluate, research, and rewrite. If you have any planets in 14-29 degrees of
Capricorn, your career may take a hit from this Mercury retrograde. And if you have any planets in 0-1 degree of
Aquarius, you may also feel this one in terms of unconventional ideas surfacing.
Personally, I will be experiencing this Mercury transit in
a big way. Mercury in Capricorn will be
exactly conjunct my natal Chiron in the 4th house on December 27,
2015 and again on February 8, 2016 as it prepares to leaves the shadow
period. The perks of this transit can
manifest in an increase of my intuitive understanding (which is great for my
business), sudden awareness of new ideas for healing, and being open to
embracing new ways of solving old problems.
But the flip side is that I could become hypersensitive and feel wounded
by what it is communicated.
And when Mercury officially enters it retrograde period on
January 5, 2016 in 1 degree of Aquarius, it will be squaring my natal Mercury
in Scorpio. WHAT FUN! How is that one going to play out for
me? It will probably be a day of
frustrations when I am going in too many different directions, trying to be the
ultimate multi-tasker with too many choices facing me. I may wind up in a very argumentative mood that
day. Beware to anyone who tries to cross
me that day. But I get to experience it
again on February 14th. Let’s
hope that I learn my lessons well in January so that I don’t feel like my life
is taking on a Groundhog Day atmosphere in February!
The north node moved into Virgo recently, which has an
