I have had several people ask me how Mercury Retrograde (Rx) is treating me, or how I am handling this Mercury Rx with the connection to the Sun. My response is pretty much the same, which is, "I'm Good." You see Astrotators, I wake-up to honoring, recognizing and respecting the map in the sky. I liken it to driving. I don't get on the road repeating all of the rules of the road in my head. I don't have to remind myself to stop when I see a stop sign. I know there are stop signs all over the place, flashing red lights and lights that suddenly change from green to yellow to red. I don't lose my mind when a light changes because I anticipate it. I've racked up some trips around the Sun so there is something to be said for age and experience.

I already know that when I get on the highway I need to get up to highway speed before merging with highway traffic. I also know to use my blinker when I change lanes and to make a head check before merging into the next lane because there is a blind spot. I've been driving a long time and know the rules. Astrology is the same.

When I'm driving and see a pothole, I don't throw my hands up and say, "Well damn it, there's a pothole. I better turn around and go back home because now my day is ruined." That's just nonsense. When I see a pothole ahead I may not even slow down depending on its location and size because it may be that I simply glide around it without jerking my wheel or slamming on my brakes. I can evaluate the pothole as I am coming upon it because my eyes are on the road ahead. I'm not fumbling around and texting not paying attention. Astrology is the same.

You might run into a detour at some point during your day or week or month. So what! Detours in Life happen. You take the detour and don't skip a beat and still arrive on time. You might get behind a school bus and get slowed down, but if one school bus makes you late, then that's on you because it means you cut it too close and left late. Chances are, you know when the school buses are out and about and it turns into a lame excuse for being late. Astrology is the same.

Mercury Retrograde (Rx) gets blamed for a lot but it's not like we didn't know he was going to turn Retrograde. I've been posting the Retrogrades on each month's Astro Meme page since the beginning of the year and it is on the home page of the website as well. You had fair warning. It's not like you didn't know. And still sh-- happens, right. Detour! School bus! Sudden flashing lights at busy intersection slowing everyone down. So sh-- happens. That is Life, whether Mercury is Retrograde or not. It might help to remember the rules of the road and that while you might know your driving well (like you know your natal chart), you don't know others driving very well (and their natal chart).

So here we are on a day light on aspects, remembering the rules of Astrology - sextiles make us smile, as there are two (2) sextiles occurring today as the Moon in Leo sextiles Mercury Rx in Gemini and sextile the Sun in Gemini. All the while keeping in mind that there are major aspects present that are still in the 'orb of influence' (separating) or just now coming into the 'orb of influence' (applying).

So as it turns out, it is a great day for communicating, taking care of business matters and ironing them out. Naturally since Mercury is Retrograde you would not want to start any 'new' business, but get the old business squared away and complete those phone calls. Wrap it up!

As the Moon sextiles the Sun its a perfect day to clean up your own identity (self). In other words, clean up and clear up your act. This is such a wonderful time to simply get your act together. Maybe you are so wrapped up in what others think of you that you don't even know what you think of you. Maybe you are so busy posting about not caring about what others think, that its pretty clear, YOU CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK!

Take this wonderful energy today and enjoy 'yourself'. The Moon in Leo has its own hefty dose of ego and pride that will have you caring about what others think of you . . . but the sign of Leo is also always concerned with growth and development as everything grows toward the Sun. And the Sun is naturally ruled by Leo. Work on the 'self' today without having to broadcast that you are working on your 'self'. While you might be trying to convince everyone else, it is you who might need convincing. In other words, everyone else doesn't need to know . . YOU need to know and that is growth and improvement.
