Mercury Retrograde Periods in 2009

Although not quite as popular as Sun sign astrology, “Mercury Retrograde” has certainly become a buzzwordor buzz phrasethese days.

What is Mercury Retrograde? Three, and sometimes four, times a year, the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky for a period of approximately 3 weeks. “Appears” is the key word here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun.

In fact, they don’t even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Mercury turns retrograde more frequently than any other planet. It can never be more than 28 degrees from the Sun, and whenever it reaches its furthest distance from the Sun, it changes direction.

As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state.

Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde. Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting.

During these periods, it’s best to check and double-check your work, emails, and paperwork. Watch what you say, because it may not come out, or be received, the way you intended. Try to be understanding if you receive remarks that don’t go over well. Double-check that the person who uttered those words really meant it the way you thought they did! Asking “are you sure you meant to say that?” might help.

Get in touch with yourself during this period–it’s an excellent cycle for discovering new ways of looking at life and at yourself. It’s also an ideal cycle in which to discover new ways of communicating your ideas and thoughts.

Mercury is Retrograde from January 11 to February 1, 2009 in the signs of Aquarius and Capricorn.

Venus Retrograde in 2009

What is Venus Retrograde? Occasionally, Venus appears to be moving backwards in the sky. “Appears” is the key word here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don’t even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Venus is Retrograde approximately 40-43 days every 18 months.

As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what__and who__we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. There may be delays or confusion in relationships and financial affairs. Read more about Venus Retrograde cycles.

05 Jan Jupiter enters Aquarius 10:42 am EST Tran-Tran 0000′

The upward path this coming year will be much about giving everybody a piece of the pie and sharing all resources to pull ahead together. It’s not a great climate for going solo, since everybody’s looking to share both wealth and burden, but it’s a good time to discover untapped potential in people and places which were there all along.

If you happen to know what they are, it probably profits you little, except you can tell your children you were there first, when they finally get hip to it. Nevertheless, it’s worth looking around for, as the foundations for another wave of the future are being laid at this very time, no small thing.

There is a feeling all around that the next step along the way is both a gift from the gods and sanctioned by them as well. That may be so, but it will be those of us on earth that have to live up to the ideals we set now, and that may not be an easy or practical task. It can be too easy to expect too much of yourself and those around you because you don’t include the rough but real aspects of reality and temptation we all have to live with. This is a great time to be a high priest — or to act like one — but make sure that what you sacrifice on your altar is not what you see in the mirror. Light plays tricks that way….

This rare (once in 45 years) aspect provides a background of a year or so when new advances in theoretical science occur which take a longtime proving, thanks to an often intransigent scientific establishment. Relativity theory and chaos theory are two good examples; both took years to become thoroughly accepted and a part of the general consciousness. If you happen to know what they are, it probably profits you little, except you can tell your children you were there first, when they finally get hip to it. Nevertheless, it’s worth looking around for, as the foundations for another wave of the future are being laid at this very time, no small thing.

The next couple of years will likely see a renewal of blind justice with her sword. Those who have spent their time handing out self-made dictums of right and wrong will find themselves hoisted on their own petards, while the meek inherit their earth. If you’ve been minding your own business, tending to your tasks, you’re safe and in line for a promotion.

This period of a year or so marks a somewhat troubled time for society at large, during which political and economic struggles arise and engage in conflicts that don’t actually seem to get anywhere but take up a lot of news time. Unless you’re part of the news, chances are this doesn’t hurt you directly, but it does sow a certain unease all around that makes people more uncertain than usual about committing to long-range agreements. When the wind is shifting, everyone waits until it’s changed before settling down to business. With that in mind, you may find you can make more headway in smaller affairs and short-term commitments, personal or financial, pending further advisories.
