At 11:25 pm PDT on April 15, Mercury makes its second entry into Aries! This re-traces steps Mercury made beginning March 3, giving us a third look at this span. And like the last time, this ends the Pisces backdrop to planets and houses we have in Gemini and Virgo, and brings Fire to the forefront of those planetary Lights and life houses.
This will bring another, more familiar quickening to all things related to Mercury in our charts. Soon it will transit the Mercury/Venus conjunction point at 9 Aries they made on March 11. That began a period of the need to concentrate to see “the whole picture” which has been activated and re-activated by Mercury just after it goes SRX at 10 Aries, followed by the Sun at the end of March, Mercury now, and Venus yet again in mid-May.
So this is our third look at early Aries, which we’ve traversed four times; twice when Venus and Mercury first occupied early Aries, again when the Sun occupied early Aries at the end of March, and now again with Mercury moving forward. This changes the backdrop for Jupiter in Gemini from Watery Pisces to Fiery Aries! So face forward, since much will develop fairly quickly from this point forward.
If you want to know more about the recent Mercury retrograde in Aries and Pisces, or the Leo retrograde coming this Summer, please refer to your copy of my award winning book A New Look at Mercury Retrograde. It was the first book ever written about Mercury retrograde and has pretty much everything one could ever want to know about it! As it now has a new lower price, if you don’t already have a copy, please get yours today. Just make sure it’s the 2nd edition with the award on the cover rather than the first edition by Weiser.
