More Mercury
9:17 “The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.”
Ecclesiastes King James Version
More Mercury
For nearly three decades now, I’ve followed a pattern that serves me well. I don’t “write for publication” when Mercury is Retrograde. That means, in my mind, I don’t work on material that is either commercial, has commercial appeal, or is for pay, whilst Mercury is in its erroneous synodic pattern.
Simplest way to illustrate this? I stop working on the weekly missive. Rather, I stop producing new material. I don’t stop working, and I don’t stop cogitating, analyzing, prevaricating, or moving forwards, I just grasp that notion — self-imposed — that this isn’t a good time to do new “stuff,” whatever that might be.
Great time to make corrections, and the next few weeks will have a plethora of problems.
For me, personally, the astrology is compounded by a number of influences, but this is about Mercury, slip-sliding in a slipshod manner back into sage Sagittarius.
It will not be fun for some, but my attitude, and attitude helps, my approach is one of an open book.
I don’t stop moving forward, but I also spend a certain amount of time correcting past mistakes.
