Our first good Mercing of this year is drawing its out of the box conclusion today. It is a transit that rewards a telescope more than a microscope. The devil plays havoc with the details forcing a wider frame and a longer game if you are to ferret meaning beyond frustration / woe is me and my tech. Look instead to any redirection, reminder or revision for clues you can only see from inner space.
Merc's retrogrades have three distinct phases, book ended by oddly disquieting stationing points. The journey commences by being knocked off our spot or thrown by the unknown. The first week is confusing or confounding. It makes less sense than we would like as we realise this isn't life as we know it. The second week delivers strange visitors, like watching re-runs of tired old stories that ache for a technicolour new ending. The third week is always the random kicker and unlikely aha, delivering us to an unplanned destination and the whole point.
The entire exercise is a crossing. We are moved from the shore of the present, back through the past to reclaim lost treasure. We make the crossing home a final time during which we open the chest we found. Then we see in a whole new light the places we stumbled backwards through the first time. The horizon beckons once more.
Today marks the end of the search and the beginning of the journey home, back out through Merc's shadow. It is likely to be streaked with tangents, ideas, fresh ways and means but not if you are yet to quit thy bitching. Whingers never prosper, they just spin in their own shit.
Cultivate integration and gentle curation if you wanna make manna from this strange magic.
It does not mean you skipped a good dunking in the Pisces waterworld or that you emerged as polished as you began. Actually the journey must leave its mark for you to assign it meaning beyond what is hysterically consigned as inconvenient fuckery. If you bank on the lift and squint one eye just so, a bigger picture is being revealed that will indeed reward your focus. Give it the time it needs for resolution.
