The Moon in Gemini keeps us in thinking mode and before sunrise, the Sun enters Virgo, also ruled by Mercury. All in All Mercurial energy saturates everything today, and yet Mercury is retrograde till Friday. Rethink, Review. Rehearse. Re-everything with Mercury retrograde.
Wednesday August 24
The Day of Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, in the World/Week of Earth. The stones attributed to Mercury are Opals and his metal is of course, Quicksilver. Mercury's rear entry into the sign Leo puts a greater than usual emphasis on the need to speak from one's heart as Leo is the Home sign of the Sun. Ideally, this suggests that we are now in a period when direct communication is more likely. Fiery Leo is less interested in analysis and filtered communication than in direct, pure, self-expression. Expect, then, that enthusiasm may carry the conversational day over objective reason and logic. Mercury in Leo also touches on language as a form of Entertainment. Leo loves the show, and now has the Messenger planet ready to do its bidding. We can expect more colorful speech with its focus on impact exceeding its interest in facts. Enjoy the images the mind will conjure now, but try not to be taken in by your own (or anyone else's) hype. It's amazing how seriously we can take ourselves, even when the goal is play. A little extra time to filter through the noise, and a little bit of detachment from the ego, can make this period one that is both joyful and productive.
