Astro observations pt5

☄️People with Mercury retrograde have karma and issues surrounding their voices. This often stems from past lives of them not feeling “heard” or not using their voices properly so they come back into this lifetime to speak up for themselves or articulate words in the right way. This typically manifests as the individual having some type of speech impediment like stuttering, speaking too loud, or speaking too low, maybe speaking too fast or too slow, or just there being something “wrong” with their voices. I also find that these people are often misunderstood and that people misconstrue what they say all the time!!! Similar to having mercury in Pisces/12th house if you ask me

☄️They’re not lying when they say that 8th house synastry is really intense. This person always seems to come in and out of your life. It causes lot of drama and I find that the planet person secretly hates on the house person.

☄️Saturn Retrograde can indicate the native doesn’t get along with people in authority and often are seen as disrespectful or disobedient by their parents or peers

☄️As a 12th houser, I can confirm to you that the 12th house does indeed deal with the collective unconscious. It’s constantly having to examine which thoughts are actually yours

☄️Having your sun in the 12th house makes you come off more like your ascendant. This is because the sun is in the house of the things “hidden” from you or that ur not aware of so that signs’ energy is inaccessible to you

☄️Degrees in astrology can be used to tell time. I have Uranus at 11° and got my first phone at age 11 (Uranus deals with technology). I also have mercury at 12° and I got my second phone at 12 years old. Mercury also deals with technology (the 3rd house)

☄️This can’t be said for everybody but the degree of your sun sign can point out something significant or life changing happening at that age. (For ex. Sun at 9° may have traveled to somewhere for the first time at the age of 9)

☄️Even if Venus doesn’t aspect the asc, having it in its home signs Libra, Taurus, or exalted in Pisces well aspected denotes physical beauty

☄️Women with personal placements in aries may struggle with trying to be feminine

Instead of touching grass during this Mercury Retrograde in Aries, touch a very hot pan and remind yourself of your mortality.

Mercury retrograde begins at 4° Virgo and ends at 21° Leo, traversing two distinct signs with unique energies. Virgo, known for its precision, analytical thinking, and focus on health, sets the stage for the retrograde’s beginning. As Mercury moves backward into Leo, the emphasis shifts to creativity, self-expression, and leadership.

The Astronomy Behind Mercury Retrograde

Astronomically, Mercury retrograde occurs when the planet appears to move backward in its orbit from our perspective on Earth. This optical illusion happens due to the differences in orbital speeds between Earth and Mercury. Since Mercury orbits the Sun much faster than Earth, it occasionally overtakes us, creating the retrograde effect.

During this time, Mercury is closer to Earth, and its gravitational influence is stronger. However, it’s essential to remember that the planet isn’t actually moving backward; it just appears to do so due to our vantage point. This phenomenon typically lasts about three weeks and happens three to four times a year.

Key Aspects and Influences

Mercury-Venus Conjunction (August 7): This alignment at 3° Virgo intensifies themes of love, beauty, and harmony. It encourages us to reassess relationships and personal values, potentially bringing past issues to the forefront for resolution.

Moon Transits: The Moon transits Virgo from August 5-8, amplifying the need for mental clarity and health focus. Later, as it moves through Gemini from August 25-28, it highlights communication and intellectual pursuits. These periods are ideal for grounding and introspection.

Impact on Zodiac Signs: Each sign will experience this retrograde uniquely. Virgos may feel heightened anxiety, needing to manage stress and details carefully. Leos might reassess personal goals and creative projects, focusing on refining their self-expression.

Astronomically, Mercury’s retrograde motion is an optical illusion caused by the relative positions of Earth and Mercury in their orbits around the Sun. This period is a fascinating time to observe the planet in the sky, appearing to move westward against the backdrop of stars.

During its retrograde phase, Mercury is best viewed just after sunset or before sunrise. Use this time to connect with the cosmos and deepen your understanding of planetary movements and their symbolic meanings.

Utilize the Moon in Virgo for rituals focused on health, well-being, and grounding. When the Moon is in Gemini, focus on communication and intellectual clarity. These phases are perfect for enhancing mental and emotional stability through magic.

Mercury retrograde can be a powerful time for introspection and magical work focused on reflection and realignment.

Perform rituals to release old patterns and recalibrate your energies.

Cleanse your space, and set intentions for clarity and purification. This is a powerful time for letting go of what no longer serves you and making room for new insights.

Create a sacred space to meditate and reflect on past actions, decisions, and relationships. Use crystals like amethyst or clear quartz to enhance clarity.

Shield yourself from potential negative influences by casting protection spells using black tourmaline or obsidian.

If old friends or lovers resurface, use this time to mend or release these connections. Light a blue candle (associated with communication) to facilitate open and honest dialogue.

Mercury retrograde is a potent time for divination practices such as tarot, astrology, and scrying.

Reflect on past issues and seek guidance on navigating current challenges. This period supports deep self-inquiry and uncovering hidden truths.

From a spiritual perspective, Mercury retrograde is a time for inner work and growth. It’s an opportunity to slow down, reassess, and realign with your higher purpose.

Practice mindfulness to stay grounded and centered. Meditation can help you maintain clarity and calm amid the chaos.

Document your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Reflecting on your entries can provide valuable insights and guidance.

Engage in energy healing practices like Reiki or crystal healing to balance and align your chakras.

Use positive affirmations to counteract any negative thoughts or fears that arise during this period. Affirm your ability to navigate challenges with ease and grace.

Practical Tips for Thriving During Mercury Retrograde

Be Flexible: Adaptability is key during Mercury retrograde. Have backup plans in place and be prepared for unexpected changes.

Double-Check Everything: Whether it’s an important email, a travel itinerary, or a contract, double-check all details to avoid errors.

Slow Down: Take your time with tasks and decisions. Rushing can lead to mistakes and misunderstandings.

Stay Grounded: Grounding practices like walking in nature, yoga, or deep breathing can help you stay centered and calm.

Mercury Retrograde may have a reputation for causing disruption, but it also offers a unique opportunity for reflection, realignment, and growth. You can navigate this period with confidence and ease. Embrace the introspective energy of Mercury retrograde, and use it as a time to pause, reflect, and prepare for the forward momentum that will follow.

[lunarliyah]

Juno In Sagittarius people love to travel with their partner. Prefers someone that is out of state and sometimes even out the country. Their obsession with travel and exploring is also a huge part of their love language.

Moon/Mercury

+

Moon/Mars

Both experiencing major headaches. In fact, they get headaches easier than others. If they don’t eat enough or take long periods of time without eating can result in headaches. Being tired can cause headaches. Quicker than normal and typically more painful.

Aquarius placements can be some of the most delusional people. They can lack self awareness. They are be so opinionated on others and what they’re doing. They can try so hard to pick apart what others have going on. As soon as someone says “you” to them, defense mode.

Leo and Capricorns have very similar energy. Both can be very sure of themselves and what they want. Both are goal oriented. Having both Leo and Capricorn in a natal chart, specifically in the big three, makes someone very reliable and independent. (My favorite type of placements tbh lol) Both energy care about how they’re perceived, they don’t do anything without thought. Contrary to popular belief, Leo’s are very calculated people. All earth signs are calculated in different ways of course. Capricorns in particular have a way of playing chess and making sure that they do things that benefit them in the long run. As far as these energies being together in a relationship, perfect match. Leo being a fixed sign, this energy wants to make things work. They are not easy to give up on things and people. They make change happen if need be but only to keep the stability in their connection with others. At the end of the day you can summarize that as being loyal. Capricorns never leave people high and dry. They are straightforward with their ACTIONS. They are honest and if they care enough (lol) they’ll speak up. For the most part, they are showers. They show people how much they care. Which Leo’s loves. A doer, not someone who’s all talk. They’re the show off and the ones doing to talking! Not their partner. Capricorns are also very loyal as well. I personally love love love these two together. Power couple for real. Also makes the best of friends too!

Cardinal

These people are considered the scout. The leaders. What this means is when it comes to relationships, they are more upfront about what they want and what their needs are. They enjoy people to let them take the lead. They are not afraid of pursuing people they want in their life. Romantically or friendship wise. They’re more picky and they are definitely more independent. It doesn’t take them long to move on. (cancers.. yeah maybe a little different but once they’re gone, it no way possible for anyone to get the back) They shoot their shot directly and can even be flirty. They do not beat around the bush at all. They like to jump straight into things. Sometimes this does backfire. Moving too fast into things. Rushing even. Thinking too far ahead. Sometimes they can stress themselves out by thinking too much into the future or may even be seen as bossy. Or pushy even.

(Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, & Libra)

Mutable

These people are more inclined to fluctuate. They love having variety and options. They tend to not sit still, ever. Always on the go. Tend to go well with someone who helps balance them out. They are not the neatest people, yes even Virgos. These people are not that straightforward I’ve realized only when it comes to things they aren’t passionate about. In comparison for cardinal signs, it doesn’t take much for them to pursue anything. These people struggle with finishing project, ideas, etc. They can have an idea that they sit on for days (or forever). These people are very creative though. Don’t underestimate their creativity. They just need that push to execute and consistency.

(Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, & Sagittarius)

Fixed

These will be your most unconvincing, stubborn, my way or the highway type of people ever. They rarely change their minds. The way they’re used to something is how it will be for a long time. How they were raised shows up a lot in their adult life. These people enjoy routine. These people also love the thought of continuous things. These people don’t like forming deep relationships with new people. They will try to make things work. They will be very loyal people. Aquarius is known to be flaky. But they’ll be there for those who give them space and don’t conflict with their decisions and beliefs.

(Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, & Scorpio)

Random Astrology Thoughts #Dos

People with natal Mercury retrograde handle Mercury retrograde transits a lot better than those with Mercury direct. It's an energy they are of course already very use to. While the rest of us are loosing our minds dealing with crappy technology, cars breaking down, issues with travel, communicating, forgetting things, making plans that get thwarted or drastically change. Mercury retrograde people are like...meh.

Mars in your chart is how you get shit done. Your method to solving problems when they arise. What pisses you off, but also how you piss other people off. Mars in Aries is the action hero, they will take the lead first, jumping straight in, no thinking. "Let's handle this now!". Other's could get pissed at Aries hot headed-ness and lack of strategy, while Aries will be angry at the passivity. Speaking of passivity, Mars in Libra would prefer to skate around the problem trying to avoid it hoping it will just go away. They will be pissed at there being a problem in the first place, especially if they get confronted about it. Others will be angry at Libra's lack of urgency and avoidance to resolving the conflict. Mars in Scorpio is the "Ninja of the Night". Unlike their other Mars ruled cousin, they move in strategic and very silent ways. Scorpio Mars will be upset when others pry into their business, or discover their business and blab about it to others without their consent or ability to control the situation. Other's will presume Scorpio as sneaky and this could anger and even at times cause fear due to the mysterious movements.

7th house transits have less to do with you and more about the other people you have significant relationships with in your life. This is because the 1st house is literally you, and your life while the 7th is other people. 7th house transits may or may not have a major effect on your life. Jupiter transiting your 7th can mean abundance, blessings, wealth, higher learning, or travel plans coming to someone you are close to. You may find you have more options in terms of partners, as you may come across lot more people who may find themselves interested in you. Mercury transit someone you know may be learning a new skill, become more communicative, starting a blog or writing project, networking more. You may find people are more talkative around you. Sun transit, someone maybe achieving a goal, setting a new goal, thinking more of themselves during this time. You may meet people who are very expressive, seem to have big egos or are very goal driven during this month transit.

Chiron shows you what triggers you the most. Your biggest wounds and insecurities. These are also wounds you can help yourself heal from by helping others do the same. Chiron in the 3rd can become a "Voice for the Voiceless", encouraging people to speak up and voice their opinions without shame. Chiron in the 1st can become an advocate for people being and loving themselves and expressing their truest self unapologetically. Chiron in the 4th can become a healer of the home and family life. Helping others find their roots, or repair relations to their primary care givers or even children.

Planets in your first house will take over that house, and you will completely embody them. That planet becomes what you strongly identify as. Mercury in the first you identify with your intellectual/communicative nature, your ability to think for yourself and about yourself first, your cleverness, your strong opinions. Uranus in the first you identify with your oddness, spontaneous, and rebellious and sometimes chaotic nature. Jupiter in the first you identify with your optimism, your faith, open mindedness, jolly and freedom loving nature. Pluto in the first you identify with your inner power, inner strength, sexiness, mysteriousness, your pain/traumas, your ability to comeback stronger from any adversity.
