What does this mean for you? One astrologer notes that this particular Merc Retro is like a Santa Claus, leaving gifts surreptitiously while you are asleep. Not necessarily the gifts you wanted, but what you need. Rudhyar also says this degree is about “a rewarded faith in spiritual blessings.” It is a degree of the blessings that come to those who have purity of heart, receptivity, and understanding. It is a degree where our innocence and faith can experience the visitation of a “celestial Power” that will bestow blessings from the spiritual realm.
What do you need? That can be difficult to separate from what you desire. Having a spiritual practice and keeping your heart pure can help.
During this month of May you can expect more major changes and forks in the road for us all. You may also find some hidden treasures this month. Perhaps an acquaintance becomes a real friend, or an offer not accepted comes back for approval and is more what you wanted.
The period feels very special to me and like all those seeds planted of what we need in our lives finally appearing before us as beautiful May flowers.
Of course, this is always a good time to clean out closets and rigid patterns of thinking. Re-write your great American novel now and watch it become a best seller! Re-do, re-work, re-think, re-visit! Happy Mercury Retrograde through May 31st!
