Today, November 19, 2020, Mercury leaves its “Shadow Zone” and moves into the future. What does this mean?
First, for those who don’t know the term, a planet’s “Shadow Zone” is the span of degrees between the point it goes stationary retrograde back to where it goes stationary direct. When a planet which was retrograde goes direct, it moves across the same span of degrees it did when retrograde. That is the Shadow Zone.
Mercury went SRX at 12 Scorpio on October 13. It retrograded back to 26 Libra, where it went direct November 3. It’s now in forward motion and just left the boundary of its shadow zone at 12 Scorpio. As Mercury, “the Guide of Souls” and coordinator of our Life is speeding up, we can expect all things related to Mercury to speed up as well for the next few weeks.
As Mercury moves forward through the last half of Scorpio, it will bring coordination, information, or understanding to events already experienced via the Sun’s transits of late Scorpio. As Mercury leaves its Shadow Zone, it now can bring us objective understanding of recent events so our ideas can “catch up” with what we’ve begun to live and now begin to appreciate. The signals this period brought us will be valued in Venusian ways as it transits this span between November 17 and November 30, and activated in Martian ways between October 22 and November 17, 2021.
From here, Mercury will speed up until it catches up to the Sun at the next Superior Conjunction at 29 Sagittarius on December 19/20. That’s a degree of “getting in shape,” a technique to refine ourselves as we send and receive truth, information, and “consciously built” determination and dependability. We will all find a “calm efficiency” so we may “master any situation which may arise.”
At this point, Mercury makes some extraordinarily favorable aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, so pay attention, since you could get some very clear and accurate signals about how to coordinate your life, or be guided to your Soul, over the next 10 days. Then you get to capture the depth of the experience as Venus quickly follows Mercury’s transit and makes similar aspects during the first half of December. It’s a great time for any planets we have in the last half of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces!
So enjoy the quickened pace, which should help many areas of our lives move forward in fine style, especially in the Gemini and Virgo sectors, plus any sectors ruled by planets we have in those signs. As usual, I’ll be writing more about Mercury’s Superior Conjunction with the Sun in December, as well as the extraordinarily powerful Grand Mutation which will change the lives of everyone on Earth from 2021 on. This is the final phase of productivity at the harvest and close of a year of reorganizations and reorientations in the Capricorn sector of our charts, propelling us toward the Grand Mutation at 1 Aquarius, ushering in a dynamic Aquarian 200 year period!
