It’s that time of the year again. Mercury Retrograde starts February 17 through March 10th.
 
This retrograde will be in the sign of Pisces. Anticipate communication to become poetic, reflective, and dreamy. A Mercury Retrograde can cause a person think on a deeper level. Often, one can re-think things. Examining feelings and developing deep empathy is very possible.  

The most challenging portion of this retrograde will occur between February 17 through the 22nd as Mercury is in a
Sesquiquadrate aspect to Saturn. That combination with Saturn and aspect will result in delays and communication loss. Be extra careful during these first few days in getting your income taxes processed.

After the 22nd of February, this retrograde improves especially when Mercury travels back into Aquarius on March 4. Mercury will enter a better place for thought, communication, and clarity.

Always avoid making purchases and signing contracts. In the event of a dire car repair, I advise using a rental car. Mercury rules cars and repair work is not recommended.

2 years ago an individual whom I met at a luncheon discussed purchasing a home as his work was relocating him to a new state. I was asked my opinion if it was a positive time to make such a change. Clearly, I stated it would not be. The response was a snickering eyebrow raise. Recently I was informed that the individual was terminated from his employment and had to relocate 200 miles for another job. He was stuck with the property he purchased and regretted buying the property.

Also, a friend recently shared that he filed a complaint 5 years ago with the Better Business Bureau in his city regarding a business. That complaint was dire at the time. The matter settled a few months later without a response from the BBB. Well, recently the BBB reached out to him to resolve the issue as if it were current. Well, I suppose its better late than never! Action taken on a retrograde can be delayed.
 

Also, this is an incredible time to make emotional and healing break-through. Scorpio can deeply beneath the surface to bring about necessary purging and transformation. 
 

Since Pisces is water and Aquarius is electrical, under no circumstances should extensive home renovations be completed. be done in a household under this retrograde. It can lead to dissatisfactory results. 
 

As usual, telephones and electronics are ruled by Mercury. So expect: 
 
1) Major recalls.
 
2) Many technical errors.
 
3) The product is delayed and a new date is launched.
 
4) Loss.
 

The better date to purchase new devices will be after March 10. Some people may believe that insurance and warranties make it safer to purchase on a retrograde. That may hold, please know the keyword is SAFER, NOT SAFE. For those taking the plunge during the retrograde, another challenge that occurs is data loss by transferring from one device to another device under a retrograde. Also, having to re-transfer data again can be a time waste. You will be better off waiting. 
 

Mercury retrograde offers an opportunity to handle unfinished business. However, it is not recommended to start new projects. Contracts and agreements need to be carefully analyzed before signing. 
 

Under Mercury retrograde expect your electronic devices to crash. So making a backup is vital. Travel delays and traffic jams are normal. 
 
Below are some DO’s and DON’T’s:
 
DO …
 

1. Review all documents before signing them carefully.
    
2. Add tracking and insurance to important mail and/or packages as Mercury has rulership with the post office and other mail couriers.
    
3. Give yourself extra time for appointments and travel. 
    
4. Focus on the prefix, re: renew, review, revamp, redecorate, etc
    
5. Reunions with old friends and loved ones go great, however, be prepared for delays.
    
6. Expect to have contact with people from your past
    
7. Run antivirus software on your computer and other electronic devices. 
    
   DON’T
    
8. Make new purchases especially a car, technical equipment, telephone equipment and/or electronic equipment.
    
9. Sign contracts or make an oral agreement without scrutiny. Wait until Mercury turns direct. Yet waiting for the shadow to be completed gone will be better. 
    
10. Make long term commitments
     
11. Turn in unchecked work.
     
12. Make a mass mailing hit the post office. Save your stamp expense until Mercury goes direct. Though electronic mass mailings do not cost, it would be better if it can be postponed until Mercury turns direct.
     
    6) Make software updates.
     
    Finally, expect some funky turn in events. Usually lost luggage is retrieved on a retrograde Mercury. I have heard stories of airlines “suddenly” delivering a suitcase many years later to the rightful owner. Retrieving others that were once lost is common. Also, expect certain gadgets to start working after they stopped.

Mars is located between Venus and Jupiter. It oversees the will force, physical energy, efforts, impulse, courage, driving force towards a goal, assertion, and one’s sexual libido. Counting on Mars’ zodiacal position at birth represents your will. From January 24 – April 14, 2013 Mars will be retrograde in the symbol of Virgo. 

 Mars turns retrograde every 26 months for 70 to 80 days. It�s effects result in projects and plans stall or not develop as expected. Things don’t go as fast as we want. Our energy level will be lower. Accidents and arguments from impulsive actions and unrecognized anger will flare. Sexual activity is often unsatisfactory. 

 The textbooks indicate that suppressed frustrations result in a volcano like eruption. Individuals may explode with frustration and decide poorly and respond with violence and anger instead of patience and dialogue. However, one needs to also factor in that a retrograde can force one to go deeper within and make ground breaking changes in terms of the nature of the planet and the nature of the sign. Therefore during this time frame one will be re-evaluating their work energy. Mars in Virgo is very strong with details, efficiency, organization, and being health conscious. For those that have been putting off exercise, this may very well be a time where you may step out of your comfort zone and start dieting and exercising like never before.

 It is true that Mars retrograde can result in procrastination. Assertive patterns are more introspective. Many will encounter passive individuals that may lack drive. It is highly recommended to steer away from starting a new business under a retrograde. 

 The birth of a business during a Mars Retrograde will result in constant problems with having action asserted at a quality and effective pace. No matter how hard you try to push, nothing will happen. Everything is in a sluggish state. 

 More importantly, it is recommended to steer away from major repairs. Since Mars governs destructions, deconstruction may become more understood after Mars turns direct. If an electronic gadget breaks down on a Mars Retrograde, a repair job will not cure the fix. A repair job on a Mars retrograde may result in having another repair take place. However, after the retrograde has turned direct, the problem can be more understood. Repair jobs include surgery. Avoid surgery under time time frame if possible.

 However, being born with a Mars retrograde is much different than experiencing one during the cycle. A well aspected Mars retrograde in an individual�s birth chart can produce a lot of success. Since energy and initiative is internalized (retrograde) usually the individual is in competition with himself. Many athletes are born with a well aspected Mars Retrograde. However, when Mars is aspected with challenging aspects, individuals may act hastily and often need to retrace and redo his steps. Ironically, I have seen many astrological charts of athletes with a retrograde Mars in Virgo. Being a team player is very important for athletes. Therefore, during this retrograde we may be called upon evaluating our own and others team player abilities at work. 

 There could be difficulties, arguments, disagreements at work over someone or with someone that is overly critical. So during this time frame it will be wise to pick and choose your words and actions at work very methodically. 

 Ones sexual drive during a Mars retrograde can change a lot. It has been stated that the level of satisfaction during a Mars retrograde can be difficult to satisfy. In the sign of Virgo it could be overly critical, picky, and frugal. 

 Another factor to understand with Virgo is pets. During this cycle, if a pet needs to have a surgical procedure it is strongly recommended if possible to postpone it until after retrograde. During this time frame your pets temperament could also be evaluated with respect the above referenced Mars retrograde qualities: overly aggressive or lethargic. 

 Finally the details of day-to-day living is also scrutinized under Virgo. So taking time to clean up shelves, closets, cabinets, and drawers is an excellent way to use this energy. A big tip: be extra efficient under that time frame. Enjoy!

A Void-of-Course Moon (often called a Void Moon) happens when the Moon makes its last major connection—like a conjunction, sextile, square, trine, or opposition—to another planet before it moves into the next zodiac sign.

After that final aspect, the Moon is essentially “off-duty.” It’s drifting without making any new significant connections until it enters a new sign.

Recently, because Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have shifted into new signs, the Moon often reaches this “off-duty” stage earlier than usual. This pattern often comes around every couple of years, and long Void periods—lasting more than 12 hours—aren’t too common.

Astrologers have observed for centuries that the Void Moon is a low-momentum period:

• Lack of Drive: With no new aspects to make, the Moon’s “story” for that cycle is already complete. There’s no natural push to get things started.
• Plans That Don’t Stick: Deals, decisions, or purchases made during a Void Moon often stall, change direction, or end up being redone.
• Scattered Focus: The Moon influences our everyday actions and emotions. During this time, attention wanders, details get overlooked, and follow-through can be weak.

The old astrological saying sums it up: “Nothing will come of the matter.”

While it’s wise to avoid launching important projects or making big commitments during a Void Moon, it can be a perfect time for:

• Wrapping up unfinished business rather than starting something new
• Routine tasks that don’t require major outcomes
• Rest, reflection, and meditation

Below are some recent and upcoming Void periods.

It’s that time of the year again. Mercury Retrograde from October 31 through November 20th. 

This Mercury Retrograde will be in the sign of Scorpio. Anticipate communications to become covert. The topic with this retrograde is passive/aggressive behavior may manifest. 

 Mercury in Scorpio can be mysterious by nature. However, when it is retrograde, communication will become more controlled. Keeping clear and crisp communication will be essential during this retrograde. Making assumptions about others’ words and behavior is not advised. 

Fortunately, Mercury isn’t receiving challenging aspects. Yet, it is still retrograde. Expect delays. 

This retrograde is fantastic to go over wills, insurance policies, taxes, and investments. Please note, reviewing is all that is recommended. Save any changes you would like to make once the retrograde is completed. 

Also, this is an incredible time to make emotional and healing break-through.  Scorpio can deeply beneath the surface to bring about necessary purging and transformation. 

Unfortunately, in the sign of Scorpio, expect electronics to reach its maximum capacity. On a previous retrograde, I know 2 clients that had a blender/food processor, cell phone, and car battery all die within a 48-hour window!  

Since Scorpio rules pipes, under no circumstances should piping be done in a household under this retrograde. It can lead to dissatisfactory results. 

As usual, telephones and electronics are ruled by Mercury. So expect: 

1) Major recalls.

2) Many technical errors.

3) The product is delayed and a new date is launched.

4) Loss.

The better date to purchase new devices will be after November 21. Some people may believe that insurance and warranties make it safer to purchase on a retrograde. That may hold, please know the keyword is SAFER, NOT SAFE. For those taking the plunge during the retrograde, another challenge that occurs is data loss by transferring from one device to another device under a retrograde. Also, having to re-transfer data again can be a time waste. You will be better off waiting.
