Astro Update: Mercury Direct

Hands up / rack off anyone whose life was not turned upside down over the last three weeks or so when our cosmic trickster Mercury was retrograde. This time around it was an emotional doozy, especially for those with key planets in Taurus and Aries (your mercurial tales of woe welcome below) or those anywhere nearby, which between them constitutes a great many of us.Despite the current landscape you may be staring forlornly across, the news is good. In mere hours Mercury goes direct. Huzzah! By the full moon next week, you're good to go if you've been holding back signing on the dotted line or taking off. For those who have been wrangling a minefield or navigating a shitstorm, the news is also cheery. It may even lift your head. Very little sticks or stays in its current form during the transit itself. We can safely anticipate a lift of clarity, the arrival of a grand solution or our tongues to untie themselves shortly.Soon now the light goes green and we shunt forwards in first gear. Tread carefully as you ease back into regular programming and on pain of death do not ignore the lessons dished out, lest you have to choke on them again. Instead bed down the very real magic on offer. Things have changed irrevocably but in time the redirection will all make sense. Start trying to work out how now brown cow.Digital magic by the magnificent @eugenia_loli 😍#mercuryretrograde© Kerrie Basha, 2017
