I want to apologize for the lateness of this update, but in typical retro Merc fashion I’ve been struggling since Friday night with my computer. It got so bad by Saturday afternoon that it was essentially frozen, and I expected a complete crash–but I kept working on it, and by late Sunday night I decided I had to do a restore to past point, feeling that was a last resort (and thinking it probably wouldn’t work). It’s working now, but oy! what a trial. Referencing my own Merc retro forecast, Venus is natally in my 9th of publishing, with my weekend centered on what amounted to a radical restructuring of the actual hard drive I use for fulfilling obligations (Capricorn)–and it was certainly a test of empowerment issues for me, reminding me of exactly what part of things isn’t under my control–and this morning, as the Pisces Moon is exact to my natal Moon, I finally get back to business. I can only hope this Merc-themed difficulty doesn’t last through the whole cycle!

Today, the 13th, my eye is drawn to what is essentially a cluster of energies spanning roughly 30 degrees: Sun and Pallas in Sag, NN, Mars, Pluto, Merc, Ceres in Capricorn. It’s like being on a Tilt-a-Whirl that stays in just one position–you can’t hold on to the uphill parts for long, eventually you slide down to the low side as gravity finally wins. Gravity, in this case, will feel like the pull of inevitability, forces outside ourselves and out of our control causing drastic change we can’t fight against (echoes of this weekend, for me!) There is a sense of the powerful parts of life, Mother Nature, time, innate wisdom, all affecting us and our choices and especially our Will at a very personal level. Look to the Houses with Capricorn and Sagittarius on the cusp–this is likely to be the place where the incredible weightiness of Being comes home for each of us.
