Last of the Hellish Mercury Retrograde




Today marks the end of Mercury retrograde which, for me, has been unusually hellish. It has been in my square sign of Gemini whose Mercury ruling planet I also share as a Virgo. Because of this, communications, electronic equipment, and life as I know it has gone on the fritz. But that is about to change with Mercury's forward movement tomorrow. However, we are not out of the woods yet. The first half of this month, a number of planets will be configured  (especially on July 4th) to give us the cosmic storms to rain on our parade. After the storms have passed, we might have smooth sailing once the influences of the grand cardinal crosses and squares dissipate. Until then, hold on it's going to be a bumpy ride.

From the Empowering Astrology website:
"In astrology, a cardinal grand cross formation is one of the most difficult alignments. It happens when four planets hold the same (or close) degree in the four cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn — each planet making a 90 degree angle from each other. Not sure what I mean? Just think of a big square in the sky and you’re in the middle and everyone is arguing around you; everyone has their own agenda and not cooperating. It would be hard to be in that vortex of energy, right?"

My sympathies to those of you that are Aries, Libra, Capricorn, and Cancers. The celestial washing machine has kept all of you in the spin cycle. This will be a year that you will mark for decades. And, for those of us with key planets in those signs, the aspect of our lives affected by this mess will permanently alter the course we thought we were taking. Dios mios.
