But such a slow down will be welcomed after the madcap rush of Mercury retro in the Twins. Meaning may take a bit of time to accrue. How might this second part of the retrograde manifest, then? The Taurus phase of the transit should slow the way we process words of others. The Messenger can’t flit about the ether like when it is in airy Gemini. The Fixed-earth nature of Taurus will almost glue Mercury’s quicksilver tendencies to the ground.
If Mercury-in-Gemini will be fast and furious, Mercury-in-Taurus will feel slow, plodding, and long-winded. The first part of the transit, accordingly, could have us feeling like we are part of a gossip magazine–either dishing out undignified tittle-tattle to others or being the subject of it.Īround the 23rd, though, the Messenger enters slowpoke Taurus. This is the shadow form of Mercury reversing in a sign it loves. Words still fly, but they fly with a more insidious intent. Communication can take on a more gossipy, salacious, or rumour-filled quality.
Mercury well-aspected in Gemini is like, say, Ernest Hemingway at his favourite bar in Havana, cutting it up with friends–breezy, brilliant, easy conversations, beaucoup creativity to boot.īut when Mercury goes retrograde in the Twins, the Trickster Planet gets more tricky. We may exhibit great wit-and our minds, likewise, might demonstrate a kind of ingenious creativity. We feel that we are in a groove with the way we express ourselves. When Mercury is at home in Gemini, communication and conveyances are supercharged and superfast. The effects of this Mercury retrograde will be multiple and even contradictory. One thing to notice about Mercury here is that it transits from the sign it rules–Gemini’s mutable air–into the most opposite modality and element: fixed-earth Taurus. It begins in Gemini and then keeps going backward into molasses Taurus on May 23rd, before moving forward again on June 3rd. Why? Part of this complexity arises from the fact that the Messenger crosses through two signs during its reversal. When Venus goes retro, for instance, romance gets weird.īut, in good retrograde fashion, this transit is not straightforward. The result of this motion tends to be wonky. In general, a retrograde refers to a transit during which a planet appears to be moving backward relative to us.
When it is said that retrogrades “reverse” things, this is what we mean. Roe’s subversion will effectively criminalise certain reproductive choices. That right is now on the brink with fears of an approaching real-life American Handmaid’s Tale. In America, Roe, of course, enshrined a woman’s right to choose what she does with her body regarding her reproductive health. Wade in an unprecedented reversal of Roe’s established precedent. An anonymous clerk in the DOJ dumped a draft opinion circulating amongst the Court’s conservative justices that outlined their legal reasoning to subvert Roe v. Department of Justice just experienced the greatest leak in its history. We are already seeing the impact of this placement.
