Merc Direct in Aries

Cue the trumpets and reshuffle the get out of jail cards, darklings. Merc is now direct and will be taking names as he makes his way back across the Aries fireground and through the waning of a torrid eclipse season that has completely reshaped our ground zeroes. It is impossible to separate the two, their myriad impacts indelibly entangled in a hail of shock and revelation that continues to ricochet.
Every Mercury retrograde in a row reworks perception, shifting our ideas and understanding from where it once was. Merc turns his winged heel planted squarely on the future, the North Node still buzzing with probabilities. Anything that cannot make its way forwards with you now will fade into history, reeking of the trick it played upon you once upon time soon gone.
It's all too easy to blame the trickster and miss the manna that turned the trick inside you. By design flipping you back on yourself to heed a deeper truth. Knowing better must be more than thought through. In Taurus season it don't mean a thing unless it is embodied. Enact mercurial action stations to mend and suture, make amends or corrections, putting the revision to best use.
The dance is not quite over yet. Merc will chase down Chiron for a third round of tea and sympathy, their trinity a revolution all of its own still to play out when the bandages comes off. Our lady Venus is in for another dalliance with Merc too as they both make their way to her pleasure state. Anticipate fireworks that spark fresh desire at a more simpatico frequency.
Merc making his way forwards through the shadows collects all the fallen stars. Puzzle pieces are taking a new shape on the board. New promises dangle from the swaying trees. Far from over, a distant smile is tugging at the trickster's pretty mouth.
The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.
