Comments

aya

"The intensity of the configuration will continue when Mars enters the Grand Irrationality pattern August 7-15 and the Moon is conjunct Neptune. That 10 day period, especially around August 11 where 5 points of the 7 pointed Star are activated by the Moon in early Aries, will be extremely important in determining the direction of critical developments in late August and early September. In any case, this coming retrograde will be a major turning point in the lives of Gemini and Virgo Sun and rising sign people."

HI ROBERT CAN U PLS EXPLAIN WHY AND IN WHAT WAY THIS RETROGRADE WILL BE A MAJOR TURNING POINT IN THE LIVES OF GEMINI & VIRGO. & RISING SIGN PEOPLE. MUCH OBLIGED aya

Robert

Hi aya - Because Mercury rules those signs; Mercury's stationary direct point affects Gemini and Virgo energies after that for months to come; Mercury's stationary direct point sets a hot spot in the Grand Irrationality that will be triggered every time there's a significant transit to any of the 7 points; and with Venus "capturing" the 22 Cancer point, entering the Grand Irrationality with the other planets, it triggers the Mercury stationary point in a big way. The Venus transit of that point will set many things into motion for Gemini and Virgo people, who will also be affected in the future by other transits to any of the 7 points due to "echoing" the 22 Cancer stationary point.

Of course, with the early August configuration, where 5 of the 7 points are activated by Moon, Venus, Mars, Neptune and Pluto, much will be set into motion that affect a lot of signs. I should have made that clear.

ayanamsha

Robert,

Thank you, again, for an insightful article. I've been wondering about this retrograde cycle... You certainly detailed it well! I was not aware of the alignment with the grand septile. Didn't notice...

The last few [rx cycles] have hit me hard, and this one looks like another grand slam: the inferior conjunction is in exact sextile (orb of a single arc-minute!) to my chart ruler... score!

A funny bit about my last two mercury retrograde cycles: during the 11/2005 cycle, various events gave me no choice but to move (switch residences, that is) under the retrograde cycle. I was aware that the timing was not exactly optimal, but hey, I didn't have much say in the matter! So the next mercury retrograde rolls around, 3/2006, and the previous retrograde move falls apart. No supprise I suppose :) In true retrograde fashion, I end up moving back to the original apartment complex. But this is so RX its funny: the unit I ended up with is in the same building, has the same floorplan, but is on the opposite side of the building so everything is flipped around: the rooms face the opposite direction, hall goes the other way, etc etc... It's like my residence itself retrograded!

Anyways, I figured some of you might get a laugh out of that. I certainly chuckled when I realized what had happened, and thanked the cosmos and its gracious creator for putting everything back together with an amusing little reminder of "as above, so below" -- so if things go a little haywire for you during this retrograde, remember that everything works itself out and be thankful for the experiences you have: they all grow your soul in some special unique way. Myself, I was needed in another place to complete some special tasks... and they are done.

Robert

What a great Mercury retrograde story! I am always interested to hear of other bass-ackward retrograde events. I have numerous anecdotes in my now out of print "A New Look At Mercury Retrograde."

I know I've been promising to re-release it as an ebook on this site but in typical retrograde fashion it was pointed out that I probably need to make sure the original chapter files conform to the final edited version! If they don't, I'll probably leave the original material in, and add some spiritual material my original publisher pitched a fit about. That's my Summer 2006 retrograde project - re-editing a book from the past coordinating print and non-print versions and re-inserting material omitted from the print version. Talk about retrograde!

ayanamsha

Awesome! Sounds like a plan! :) I'm hoping to pick back up where I left off on my lunar nodal studies which fell by the wayside during the last retrograde, as well as pick back up on some musical adventures.

Do you presently have any eBooks? I've been hoping to find more, and would love to read some of your work. Paper books are nice, but I have more time to read eBooks; I can stare at a screen in many situations I can not open a paper book... like when i'm stuck in the 10th house and saturn looms for a third of the day!

sonja

Thanks Robert! Everytime I begin to think the world is getting a little crazier, you mention the Grand Irrationality and I realize everything is only a leela or play. It makes me laugh and lighten up. I will watch this retrograde as I am a Scorpio Gemini rising that had a major turning point in April/May 2004. At this point, it appears that I am mopping up the deitrus and beginning a new adventure which dovetails with your insights. Thanks to you, it is easier understand that "what is, is; no more no less".

Aum and blessings, sonja

Robert

Hi Sonja - Thanks for your encouraging words. It's true this place gets a little crazy and we all need something to remember to keep us centered. Glad what I've written parallels favorable patterns in your life. Enjoy the adventure, as no doubt Jupiter is showing you a larger life and Saturn giving you lots of ways to cast off the chains of old untruths.

Pay close attention to the past week and the next two, since Mars' movement through this span of Leo should offer hints of what to expect relative to your Scorpio this Autumn and Winter when Saturn tracks this span of Leo.

MJ

Robert,

Thank you for your extensive reports, but I am a bit lost as to what this whole period (which seems to require alot of decision making in my life) means to an Aries (17th of April) with Moon and Rising in Aquarius.

Robert

Hi MJ - It will affect your Aquarius rising by dancing around the 6th house, a preparation sector for whatever surfaces at the 7th. Your Aries is re-evaluating past issues, foundations, root structures. Your Aquarius has Gemini on the 5th, Virgo on the 8th. These areas will be under review, or your will experience some returns, or signals from your subconsciousness. I believe the decision making is more the result of Saturn opposing your Aquarius. Go slow, do research, take a new look at useful but overlooked details, and rework your view of what to do and how to do it. By December everything will make much more sense.

MJ

Ah! Thank you always!

Lidy

Hi Robert,
I am a virgo and am having a tough time at the moment.
We are trying to sell our home and build a new one but the home we are in now seems to come to a standstill in regards to people being interested in it. Do you think it is regarding the retrograde?

Robert

Hi Lidy - Remember your ruler is retrograde, so you may need to re-think some assumptions. Aries-Libra govern your buying and selling sectors, and Jupiter rules your house of property. It's just gone direct, but will be square Saturn for some months to come. There are some important points made regarding the housing problem, short term and long term, in this article.

While Mercury is retrograde, allow the process to slow down, and research info you may have overlooked before now. Either rethink your timeline, or your approach, or where and how you are listing the property, or you may have to do something retrograde, like pull it off the market and then re-list it at the perfect price at a more favorable time astrologically. These kinds of questions are complex astrological horary/inceptional chart issues.

lidy

thank you robert, in your opinion what would be the best time to put the property on the market? Not only to sell but to get the most profitable outcome? When will be the best time to re-list the property?
thank you

Robert

Hi lidy - What you're asking for is way too complex to answer in a comment stream, as this is one of the most difficult of horary subjects to learn. Much depends on the rulers of your 2nd, 4th, and 8th houses, and timing also depends on where you live. August 9, 19, and 24 are good days for some, not for others. Still, with all the conjunctions to Saturn, oppositions to Neptune and squares to Jupiter, August is overall a time of conflict, and favors buyers not sellers. September 1 begins a better run of days. Still, it's a very complex subject and entirely dependent on your chart. It would seem to me that pulling it off the market if it's not selling is not a bad idea, since if there's no interest, it shouldn't matter. Again, though, everything depends on your own timeline, what decisions you make re: price and so forth, since astrology cannot override "real world" factors, i.e., if no house in your neighborhood has sold for the price you're asking, you probably won't get it. In this world, sometimes it's enough just not to get clobbered.

Don

Robert,
my mother has one of the most surprising/interesting (insofar as I've studied astrology for about 7 months) charts I've ever seen. I'm a 'Cap' ascendent, my sister is Aquarius, my youngest sister Gemini. Her chart interpretation from a free sight is like the synapse of her life!

She is one of the "special" Leo's born in 1955. Her DOB 8/12/55 @4:20A.M. in the philadelphia area. If you get a chance, check it out, it is blowing my mind!

I am extremely worried about her health (my grandmother cultivating fear from the mercury RX in Leo making aspect to this and that...past my astrological understanding at this stage.) Could you give me some basic advice concerning my madre?...perhaps 'do this, don't do this, watch out for this/that?'

Much abliged either way.
Don.

Don

correction on 'synapse' to 'synopsis'
Don.

Robert

Hi Don - Again, more than can be answered in a comment stream. In any case, fear is a bigger problem than whatever health dharma unfolds in an individual life. Either we can or cannot do something about our own or another's health, and each has to deal with it the best they're able. Meditation and affirmations probably are the best thing you can do. And of course, take a wide view that challenges often bring forth creative changes for the better.

S

Was wondering how this mercury retrograde would affect a couple where she is Gemini/Aquarius/Leo and he is Aries and I believe Libra. He is feeling stuck, not sure if his feelings will continue to grow. Could this all change once mercury goes direct? Thanks!

Robert

Hi S - Usually feeling stuck around certain feelings is more a Moon/Saturn issue, as are problems of growth, maturity, and clarity about what you can and cannot do. Given what you've said about your sign influences, both of you should do well when Jupiter goes into Sagittarius, which can expand that which is concentrated on in Scorpio.

What you're asking is probably easily dealt with, once the true issue is targeted. Being stuck is usually not the true problem. Willingness to get unstuck, along with consistently practicing the appropriate techniques, is the relevant focus.

S

Thanks Robert, could you please tell me when Jupiter goes in Sagittarius? Thanks so much!

Robert

Hi S - It enters in late November, and Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars also all conjunct Jupiter and each other in late Nov and through Dec.

S

Thanks again, Robert, would you have any suggestions on the appropriate techniques for getting 'unstuck' in a relationship??

Robert

Hi again S - Well, examine your individual and mutual attachments, goals, intentions, priorities, what you're avoiding, what agreements you think you've made and where you see it going in a year, in three years, and in five years.

One technique I learned in therapy is for each of you to make a list of your top ten priorities in life, and then compare lists. That should jump start a lot of discussion. I also suggest you each make a list of 5 things you admire or like about the other, and 5 areas you are ocncerned about and would like to begin a dialogue (which should not become accusation and defense sessions!) Remember that you need to treat each other as friends, and the dialogue as a journey of exploration about self and other in the relational dance. I guarantee each of these exercises will clarify a lot about who you are and what you want.

Joy Terry

I want to retire, but can't seem to do it because of money restraints. When would be a good time?

Joy Terry

How personal? I live in HOT Texas and wish I lived in Colorado. Have an ex-husband who is about to have a back operation. He and I are still an item.

Robert

Hi Joy - I believe we never really retire, we just change functions, some of which we're better paid for than others. So figure out what you might like to do in the future, and find a situation where you can afford to do that. I used to live in Texas, so my sympathies on the heat and humidity that probably won't break till late September or early October, depending on where you live.

What is keeping you from Colorado? I know the state well, it's a Leo, and I really love it. Many nuances between northern, southern, southwestern, and so forth, but if it's a possibility, explore the options.

Fienie van der Westhuizen

Love your site Very eye opening

Robert

Hi Fienie - Thanks. Glad you found the site. I try to make it interesting and informative for both the public and astrologers alike. Keep checking in, and if you go back through the archives, I'm sure you'll find some articles that are still important in offering information about what's going on. See you on the front page!

Fienie van der Westhuizen

Wonderful The Best i've come across You have very good insight

Robert

Hi again Fienie - My pleasure. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. Am trying to give a sense of what's happening, and why, and what we can do to anticipate what's coming and deal with what is. Glad I hit the mark and open doors of perception, to put it one way.
