Mercury Retrograde 2012

MERCURY

Mercury reveals the different way the mind works in people and how they communicate. It is the great Revealer.  It will bring many things to light and also cause havoc. 

IN ARIES:  Self-willed and confidant.  They are stubborn in arguments convinced they are right. They have a quick mind and sharp tongue.

IN TAURUS:  Practical thinkers.  Abstract is considered a waste of time.  Thought process may be slow and they have a very conservative attitude.

IN GEMINI:  Clear and logical mind, the need for mental stimulation is great.  They like to collect knowledge.  They are great Communicators and are not rigid in their opinions.

IN CANCER:  Thoughts are dominated by feelings; their attitudes are compassionate and poetic.  They have retentive memories. They can be very superficial and phoney when trying to impress someone on a scientific level.

IN LEO:  A very high opinion of their own intellectual power.  They have plenty of mental energy, quick to form opinions without knowledge of all the facts.  They love being the centre of attention.

IN VIRGO:  Pedantic, critical and analytical.  No time for frivolous ideas.  The lover of intellectual order.  They have Interesting minds that use their intellect for practical good of the world.

IN LIBRA:  Born strategists and they use their powers of careful and balanced thought to reconcile opposing forces.  Their awareness of contrasting possibilities enables them to increase their choices in life.

IN SCORPIO:  These people do not have ideas, they have instincts and beliefs.  They often follow these with great dedication.  They are interested in all things dark, hidden or mysterious.

IN SAGITTARRIUS:  They are often philosophers. Ideas and opinions are more important to them than facts.  They may be careless over details but often have and instinctive idea of truth.  They are often tactless.

IN CAPRICORN:  Practically minded and with down to earth interests, this is a classic position for engineers or mathematicians as well as people in business.  Wealth and status are often very important.

IN AQUARIUS:  Independent minded; these people do not like being told what to think.  They need freedom to find their own intellectual interests and they frequently hold radical views.  They like issues to be clear-cut.

IN PISCES:  Poetic and imaginative these people have artistic minds and may have difficulty coping with practical and scientific studies.  This is the most deceptive and gullible position for Mercury.  Confusion can be avoided if attention is paid to detail.

 WHEN MERCURY GOES RETROGADE it causes mix ups in communication, travel and technical areas.  Gemini and Virgo are ruled by Mercury and are more affected by this motion than other signs; but all are affected in some way.

Mercury next goes retrograde November 6, 2012.  Be sure to have all contracts signed, electronics purchased and communications clear prior to this or any retrograde.
