Mercury stations retrograde on March 12th.
Mercury is in his shadow period already. He will retrograde at 6 Aries and then go back to 23 Pisces.
Aries is fire. Pisces is water. You may feel an energy surge especially in your early Aries house and then need to backtrack a bit. Pisces has a hard enough time with reality as it is 😉 Imagine Pisces retrograde!
Oy.
Don’t sign contracts they say. Don’t buy electronics. I’m fine with the common wisdom. A job accepted during the retrograde will have a change inside it. I’ve experienced that.
But I like to think of Mercury Retrograde as the review, the revise, the re-do. Not so scary, okay? Doublecheck the details, the travel plans, the areas of life that are covered by late Pisces and early Aries in your chart.
Mercury retrograde in Aries/Pisces: the warrior takes a swim.
March 12th, by the way, as I look at my calendar here, is a really interesting day for other reasons: the GRAND TRINE in earth!
Pluto in Capricorn trine Venus and Jupiter in Taurus trine Mars rx in Virgo: working hard to build something beautiful, lasting, real. Life-changing.
Are you working on something like this? Do you want to?
Do you have any earth or water planets at or near 9 degrees?
xo
Yes, I am doing Mini-Moon Readings for the Full Moon in Virgo!
Readings readings readings! Short, Medium, and Long! Look here for more info! And Tarot too!

Hmmm. Mercury at 9 Cancer. Venus/des at 2 Cancer, Saturn at 11 Cancer. Ascendant at 2 Capricorn. Some of that is pretty wide but I’m guessing I will definitely feel it. On a related note, new moon at 0 Aries. I definitely want to get your thoughts on that, should I schedule something now?
Oooooh someone’s looking ahead! You can. We can wait until around that time or work on it this week. Totally up to you, my dear 🙂
I am prioritizing Aliza reading before muffler in my anemic budget. I am so glad your site exists. Hope moon exiting gemini can make my dissertation length replies significantly shorter!
LOL glad I make you think/write 🙂
Pluto, 10 Libra, Neptune 11 Sag. Jupiter and Chiron in Aries…eeek! Should I freak? Just thinking ’bout my almost constant worry I addressed in my replx to Virgo Destroyer subject…which do I focus on 1st w/this? Eek?
Woot! My only planet in Earth/Water near 9 degrees is Jupiter! I suddenly have lots of Jupiter energy going on! Suddenly, I don’t feel like doing any work. 😛
I need to work more so I have extra $ for a chart look-over!
🙂
I may have to get a mini reading for this one – my natal water trine is 10 deg Neptune/Scorpio, 10 deg Mars/Cancer, 7 deg Merc/Pisces – I also have Pluto (6 deg) and the north node (5 Deg) in Virgo – 🙂
Just let me know, mary 🙂 I have only a little bit of time this weekend though — Sunday is possible. Monday for sure. But up to you of course, my dear.
ok – I will – it will be early next week – mon/tues/wed – and then of course whenever your available xoxo I love your work or should I say passion – both I think 🙂
thanks so much, mary. glad you’re here.
Not to be rude but why are we discussing (worrying) about the full moon and merc retro when they’re not happening anytime in the near furture. Is there nothing sun and inspirational happening in between?
The internet is a big place, skyler rosey. You are not obligated to be here. If my blog doesn’t interest you, please look elsewhere. There are many astrology and other blogs on the net.
Hm, my nearest to 9° water would be my Pisces Moon at 7° ?
But now really, it’s insane what i’m getting this year from the retrogrades to my natal Mars, i do really hope i’m getting out of this ‘alive’ *freaking lol*
Tr Mars turned rx dead on my Solar Return while, as if not enough, opposing my natal Mars 23° Pisces not eaven by a full dgree orb. So, Mars is the only rx planet in my Sorar return for this year and opposing my natal Mars exact to the boot.
On the day Mercury turns retrograde, the Sun will transit 0°orb over my natal Mars, and Mercury will turn direct back again 1° ahead my natal Mars. Oh, i have Gemini rising for this SR too .. And not forgetting, Mercury zaps retro over tr Uranus there, my Sun ruller .. I am contemplating grace and humility very much those days …. 🙂
Early Aries is in my 6th h .. Ofc, with the Mars to Mars opp hardly could avoid to get sick as a dog, it’s dragging the whole month already and i have jet to heal for good .. In the midst of physical breakdown, Mars tr my 12th dug out and brought back someone very precious to me. Keeping the detalis, a late lover found it’s way back into my life …. and seem’s, he’s helping me work through my natal Mars issues. This planet could fairly be the weakest link in my chart .. having it by aspect squared by it’s ruller too .. the person in question had his natal Mars on 22° Virgo .. you can immagine the exact time he came back visiting ^ ^ ~
Mercury. I’m quite fearful of his retro periods, nataly i have it in domicile 3d, stuffed with Uranus and Neptune, both my Sun/Moon rullers, and his ruller on my SN .. Working with biorythms i clearly noticed i can bear any point in the cycle, but i suffer indoubtly the negative mental one :-/ I’m keeping an eye on this approaching retrograde from the year start, and still arent exactly sure on what to expect from it .. At best, i hope into a single-minded frame of mind to supervise closely this Mars revision i am bound to go under .. My Cap Mercury has it’s due love for strategies ^ ^
