00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:04,468
Welcome to Astro Babble. I’m
Donna from Donna B Astrology.

2
00:00:04,468 –> 00:00:08,948
And I’m Lynda from Scullywag Astrology.
We are talking about

3
00:00:08,948 –> 00:00:13,508
retrograde planets and we are
starting this podcast for the

4
00:00:13,508 –> 00:00:19,588
second time for our Mercury one.
Yes. Yes. Mercury

5
00:00:19,588 –> 00:00:22,708
Retrogrades. We’re in the
shadow period at the moment and

6
00:00:22,708 –> 00:00:29,808
it shows. Couple of starts but
yeah, let’s get into it

7
00:00:29,808 –> 00:00:32,208
because it’s very, very
interesting. Do you have a

8
00:00:32,208 –> 00:00:36,608
diagram on how we can… kind of
explain this to people? Because

9
00:00:36,608 –> 00:00:40,528
the planets actually don’t go
backwards but when they get to

10
00:00:40,528 –> 00:00:45,168
the end of an
elliptical… which is not a

11
00:00:45,168 –> 00:00:49,168
round circle. It’s more of
a oblong thing. When they get

12
00:00:49,168 –> 00:00:53,968
to the end of it they… they
seem to… look to go backwards.

13
00:00:53,968 –> 00:00:57,728
For the outer planets. For the
inner planets they they look a

14
00:00:57,728 –> 00:01:01,808
little different. Yeah they do,
they do. Do you want to

15
00:01:01,808 –> 00:01:09,208
allow me to share screen?
All right. Okay. So I’ve got a

16
00:01:09,208 –> 00:01:13,688
couple of diagrams here. So
this one is from NASA. They do

17
00:01:13,688 –> 00:01:18,968
allow you to use them. And we
have the Sun in the middle. The

18
00:01:18,968 –> 00:01:25,048
middle (ring) we have the orbit of
Mercury or Venus, both of

19
00:01:25,048 –> 00:01:29,288
which are inferior planets.
Because they’re between us and

20
00:01:29,288 –> 00:01:33,608
the Sun. And then on the
outside (ring) we have the Sun. I mean,

21
00:01:33,608 –> 00:01:40,888
no, we don’t. We have the earth.
So the start of Mercury cycle

22
00:01:40,888 –> 00:01:47,608
is the superior conjunction
when the Earth and Mercury and

23
00:01:47,608 –> 00:01:52,968
the Sun are all in a line there.
So Mercury is as far away

24
00:01:52,968 –> 00:01:56,008
from the Earth as it can be at
that time. It’s opposite it.

25
00:01:56,008 –> 00:02:00,728
Because Mercury starts really
fast, it comes up, overtakes the

26
00:02:00,728 –> 00:02:05,288
Sun, keeps going till it gets to
the eastern elongation. That’s

27
00:02:05,288 –> 00:02:11,468
as far away as it can possibly get (from the Sun)
and about this time Venus (or Mercury) appears

28
00:02:11,468 –> 00:02:15,868
in the sky as an evening star.
Then about a week later, it

29
00:02:15,868 –> 00:02:20,348
stations retrograde, which is
this dark purple shading here.

30
00:02:20,348 –> 00:02:26,428
Goes for about 22 days. Halfway
through the Sun catches up to

31
00:02:26,428 –> 00:02:30,748
that Mercury. Mercury’s going
backwards. The Sun’s going

32
00:02:30,748 –> 00:02:33,788
forward, so they’re mutually
applying to each other. They

33
00:02:33,788 –> 00:02:37,788
have that inferior conjunction,
which happens when the Sun and

34
00:02:37,788 –> 00:02:41,668
Mercury meet together when
Mercury is retrograde. Then the

35
00:02:41,668 –> 00:02:46,468
Sun keeps going. Mercury keeps
going backwards and about 10

36
00:02:46,468 –> 00:02:51,588
days after that, it will station
direct. At which time the Sun

37
00:02:51,588 –> 00:02:55,588
will have moved far enough
forward that Mercury is visible.

38
00:02:55,588 –> 00:03:00,468
It will be visible for about a
week and then it will reach the

39
00:03:00,468 –> 00:03:04,708
western elongation. And at that
time it will be the morning

40
00:03:04,708 –> 00:03:09,568
star. Between when it stations
direct and the western

41
00:03:09,568 –> 00:03:14,688
elongation, it is a morning star
and that’s the other side where

42
00:03:14,688 –> 00:03:18,368
it’s as far away from the Sun
as it can get. And then it will

43
00:03:18,368 –> 00:03:24,248
start to speed up again, until it
overtakes the Sun again. Which

44
00:03:24,248 –> 00:03:27,888
that’s all very well for some
people but we’re also going to

45
00:03:27,888 –> 00:03:31,888
show it on Solar Fire too, because I
think it’s a little bit easier

46
00:03:31,888 –> 00:03:38,288
to see. So let me stop sharing there.
Right so when we’re

47
00:03:38,288 –> 00:03:41,648
talking about it we when we say
it’s conjunct it’s when

48
00:03:41,648 –> 00:03:45,968
they’re in a line. So that
superior conjunction… we’ll

49
00:03:45,968 –> 00:03:50,888
call it a conjunction. So with
this diagram we’ve got three

50
00:03:50,888 –> 00:03:55,568
glyphs on here. We’ve got the
Sun which is a circle with a

51
00:03:55,568 –> 00:03:58,928
dot. You’ve got Mercury, which is
like a man with a little hat.

52
00:03:58,928 –> 00:04:01,968
The purple one. And then
we’ve got one down here to

53
00:04:01,968 –> 00:04:09,088
represent Earth. So round about
the 2nd of April 2022…

54
00:04:09,088 –> 00:04:12,688
because…. what’s
today Donna? It’s May third yeah.

55
00:04:12,688 –> 00:04:17,868
Back in the 2nd of April 2022
the Sun and Mercury were

56
00:04:17,868 –> 00:04:22,348
at 12 ° Aries. So they were
conjunct and this is a superior

57
00:04:22,348 –> 00:04:26,348
conjunction and it’s starting a
whole new cycle. Donna I’m

58
00:04:26,348 –> 00:04:28,668
going to advance it and do you
want to just tell people what’s

59
00:04:28,668 –> 00:04:33,388
happening? Okay I’ll try my
best. Okay so the cycle starts

60
00:04:33,388 –> 00:04:38,888
at the farthest part in this
the synodic cycle. It

61
00:04:38,888 –> 00:04:45,208
continues to go through. The
Mercury is separating from the

62
00:04:45,208 –> 00:04:49,528
Sun. Yeah it’s moving a lot
faster than the Sun at this

63
00:04:49,528 –> 00:04:55,848
stage. Right about in a
few days, that’s when the

64
00:04:55,848 –> 00:04:59,528
shadow part starts. So when
this… when that shadow part

65
00:04:59,528 –> 00:05:03,368
started at the end of
April. Yep right there. That’s

66
00:05:03,368 –> 00:05:09,428
where the Mercury will go back
to once… once it’s gone through

67
00:05:09,428 –> 00:05:13,108
the retrograde stage.
So, this is called the

68
00:05:13,108 –> 00:05:19,428
shadow period. That being said,
you start to feel what Mercury

69
00:05:19,428 –> 00:05:22,628
is… the energy of what Mercury
is doing. You’ll run

70
00:05:22,628 –> 00:05:25,188
into snafus. You’ll have
to go back to the store for

71
00:05:25,188 –> 00:05:29,988
ingredients. You’ll… you
could get delayed in travel.

72
00:05:29,988 –> 00:05:34,948
Communications can get mixed
up. You’ll start to feel that

73
00:05:34,948 –> 00:05:39,508
during that shadow period.
Yeah, I mean, this a podcast

74
00:05:39,508 –> 00:05:42,988
we’re doing, which is going to
be a general podcast for

75
00:05:42,988 –> 00:05:49,268
Mercury Retrogrades but for
example with this one. Mercury

76
00:05:49,268 –> 00:05:53,748
is going to be retrograde from
the 10th of May to the 3rd of

77
00:05:53,748 –> 00:06:00,708
June 2022. Right
It will retrograde at 4° of Gemini and

78
00:06:00,708 –> 00:06:04,868
it will go all the way back to
26 Taurus. So you can see this

79
00:06:04,868 –> 00:06:10,068
here, it’s 26 Taurus and it’s in
direct motion. It’s not

80
00:06:10,068 –> 00:06:14,068
retrograde at the time and
that’s on the 26th of April (2022) and

81
00:06:14,068 –> 00:06:19,668
it will be another… I don’t know… what’s that?
Two weeks, two weeks

82
00:06:19,668 –> 00:06:24,508
Yeah yeah another 13 days or
something until it will

83
00:06:24,508 –> 00:06:28,948
actually be retrograde. But
during this period you can kind

84
00:06:28,948 –> 00:06:34,548
of already get glitches as
we’re experiencing… and it will

85
00:06:34,548 –> 00:06:38,468
retrograde all the way back to…
what did I say? It’s going to

86
00:06:38,468 –> 00:06:44,128
retrograde back to 26th Taurus
Because it will (station) retrograde at 4

87
00:06:44,128 –> 00:06:48,768
degrees of Gemini go all the
way back to 26 Taurus. It will

88
00:06:48,768 –> 00:06:52,448
stop there and start going
forward again but the

89
00:06:52,448 –> 00:06:55,088
retrograde shadow period
doesn’t finish until it

90
00:06:55,088 –> 00:06:59,648
actually passes that 4° (Gemini). Until it
gets back to where it was when

91
00:06:59,648 –> 00:07:02,768
it first started going retrograde.
This gives people

92
00:07:02,768 –> 00:07:07,688
a chance to redo whatever they
were doing. If you were

93
00:07:07,688 –> 00:07:13,548
you know, doing something… it
gives a chance to revisit that

94
00:07:13,548 –> 00:07:18,988
event that you are supposed to
learn something about or …

95
00:07:18,988 –> 00:07:21,548
get a lesson from it. That’s…
that’s the purpose of

96
00:07:21,548 –> 00:07:26,508
retrogrades… is they’re
meant to have you revisit an

97
00:07:26,508 –> 00:07:31,308
issue. Yeah you’re literally
going back over old ground.

98
00:07:31,308 –> 00:07:35,388
Mercury has just covered those
degrees in the zodiac and now

99
00:07:35,388 –> 00:07:38,108
it’s like – “oh I forgot
something. I better go back”. I

100
00:07:38,108 –> 00:07:42,028
gotta go back and review that.
Redo it. Re-edit. You know

101
00:07:42,028 –> 00:07:46,748
reevaluate. Re is a
very good anything that starts

102
00:07:46,748 –> 00:07:50,948
with re is very good during
Mercury Retrogrades. Yes.

103
00:07:50,948 –> 00:07:57,948
Restart. Yes, restart.
So yeah so if you’re watching on

104
00:07:57,948 –> 00:08:02,508
the video you can see round about… it’s slowing down. That’s

105
00:08:02,508 –> 00:08:07,148
what this S here means. It’s
slowing down… Stationing …stationing.

106
00:08:07,148 –> 00:08:11,068
Then it will retrograde on the 10th.
Right. You can see that

107
00:08:11,068 –> 00:08:15,808
it’s still ahead of the Sun at
this time. But the Sun is going to

108
00:08:15,808 –> 00:08:20,648
slowly start catching up
because Mercury’s moving very

109
00:08:20,648 –> 00:08:24,728
slowly at this time. Until they
get to the point where they

110
00:08:24,728 –> 00:08:28,728
have another conjunction. Which
looks like it’s going to be

111
00:08:28,728 –> 00:08:33,528
about the 21st of May. And this
is the inferior conjunction

112
00:08:33,528 –> 00:08:37,688
when Mercury’s retrograde. You
can see Earth is opposite here.

113
00:08:37,688 –> 00:08:42,248
Yeah you have us (Earth), then Mercury
and the Sun for the inferior

114
00:08:42,248 –> 00:08:45,608
and then for the superior conjunction

115
00:08:45,608 –> 00:08:49,908
you’re going to have us (Earth), the Sun
and then Mercury’s going to be…

116
00:08:49,908 –> 00:08:54,868
That’s right. …the other side of the Sun.
Yeah. Okay. So that’s the

117
00:08:54,868 –> 00:08:58,868
inferior conjunction. Yeah.
Which is still… you know it… I

118
00:08:58,868 –> 00:09:01,188
mean when you gotta… you
gotta remember all those

119
00:09:01,188 –> 00:09:04,868
planets. Those three bodies are
still in a line. So that’s a lot

120
00:09:04,868 –> 00:09:11,668
of energy. Right? You know, right
there, pointing at you. Yeah. Oh

121
00:09:11,668 –> 00:09:16,228
exactly. Then the Sun will pull
ahead because Mercury’s still

122
00:09:16,228 –> 00:09:22,248
going backwards. Sun will pull ahead
until Mercury starts to

123
00:09:22,248 –> 00:09:24,408
slow down again, because it’s
going to change direction

124
00:09:24,408 –> 00:09:29,048
again. Yep now it’s stationing
and it’s going back in

125
00:09:29,048 –> 00:09:34,968
the direct motion. And it’s
about this time that Mercury is

126
00:09:34,968 –> 00:09:38,968
far enough away from the Sun
and it’s at its most western

127
00:09:38,968 –> 00:09:45,048
elongation and it appears as
the morning star at this stage

128
00:09:45,048 –> 00:09:50,248
because it rises before the Sun.
So and that lasts, what

129
00:09:50,248 –> 00:09:53,528
about a week? A week and a half?
About a week I think.

130
00:09:53,528 –> 00:09:58,248
Yeah. And then eventually…
This is still that station, that

131
00:09:58,248 –> 00:10:03,728
shadow period that it was in.
Now it is 4 or 5 degrees.

132
00:10:03,728 –> 00:10:08,568
We’ll be out… we’ll be clear of
that retrograde kind of energy

133
00:10:08,568 –> 00:10:15,928
that we were in. So that’s all
the way till June 18th.

134
00:10:15,928 –> 00:10:19,828
What I think about with
retrogrades, sort of how I kind

135
00:10:19,828 –> 00:10:24,908
of explain it to people is like –
you’ve left the house and you…

136
00:10:24,908 –> 00:10:27,908
halfway to the store you
remember you’ve forgotten your

137
00:10:27,908 –> 00:10:32,228
wallet and you stop and then
you reverse. You backtrack. But

138
00:10:32,228 –> 00:10:36,068
you know, just because you
didn’t start reversing… which is

139
00:10:36,068 –> 00:10:39,908
when the retrograde starts… your
journey actually started when

140
00:10:39,908 –> 00:10:43,428
you left the house. Even though
you don’t stop until about

141
00:10:43,428 –> 00:10:48,608
halfway… you know to the store
you backtrack all the way and

142
00:10:48,608 –> 00:10:51,808
when you get home you pick up
your wallet because you forgot

143
00:10:51,808 –> 00:10:55,328
it. And that’s fine, then you
go forward again. So the

144
00:10:55,328 –> 00:10:59,488
retrograde’s finished but it
doesn’t really count until you’ve

145
00:10:59,488 –> 00:11:02,768
caught up to where you stopped.
When you first, you know, were

146
00:11:02,768 –> 00:11:06,288
halfway to the shops and
realized “oh, I haven’t got my

147
00:11:06,288 –> 00:11:09,808
wallet. I’ve gotta go back”.
That retro shadow period doesn’t

148
00:11:09,808 –> 00:11:13,968
finish until you actually get to
where you (video freezes up) Where you

149
00:11:13,968 –> 00:11:16,748
remembered you forgot your
wallet. Okay well, we’ll

150
00:11:16,748 –> 00:11:19,228
plug through this because it’s
our… it’s our… it’s just the

151
00:11:19,228 –> 00:11:24,468
Mercury retrograde and we’re
going to do that. Lynda was frozen.

152
00:11:24,468 –> 00:11:27,628
Mercury Retrogrades. We’re
having a lot of fun here today

153
00:11:27,628 –> 00:11:31,708
aren’t we? It is. It is. But you know what?
Smoke alarms going off…

154
00:11:31,708 –> 00:11:43,008
And Donna getting frozen. It’s part of life. Yeah.
Oh my. So yeah, and oh yes.

155
00:11:43,008 –> 00:11:45,328
Oh that’s what I wanted to
show. I’m going to share screen

156
00:11:45,328 –> 00:11:48,328
again because I want to show
you something pretty cool. So

157
00:11:48,328 –> 00:11:52,048
Mercury retrogrades. They tend
to come in what we call

158
00:11:52,048 –> 00:11:57,968
elements. So we’ve got fire,
earth, air and water. But with

159
00:11:57,968 –> 00:12:03,168
the retrogrades for about a two
year period they tend to go in

160
00:12:03,168 –> 00:12:06,928
elements. And it’s a little bit
like eclipses in that sometimes….

161
00:12:06,928 –> 00:12:11,788
with eclipses you’ve only got
two signs opposite each other

162
00:12:11,788 –> 00:12:15,868
but sometimes like we’re
currently in Taurus Scorpio

163
00:12:15,868 –> 00:12:19,868
eclipses but like last year we
had a… I can’t remember whether

164
00:12:19,868 –> 00:12:23,308
I think it was a Taurus eclipse…
but it kind of snuck in with

165
00:12:23,308 –> 00:12:27,388
the Sagittarius and Gemini
eclipses. And the same thing

166
00:12:27,388 –> 00:12:32,348
happens with this sometimes. But
I just want to… we’ve currently

167
00:12:32,348 –> 00:12:38,588
got in January 2022, we had a
Mercury retrograde at 10

168
00:12:38,588 –> 00:12:45,208
Aquarius so say about there.
Then in May at… we’re going to

169
00:12:45,208 –> 00:12:49,688
have one at 4 Gemini. Right.
So say round about here. And

170
00:12:49,688 –> 00:12:52,528
then in September we’re
going to have one in 8

171
00:12:52,528 –> 00:12:59,808
Libra. So they’re all going to
be… drawing like a triangle.

172
00:12:59,808 –> 00:13:03,768
Like a grand trine. We’re going to…
So those are all in

173
00:13:03,768 –> 00:13:08,168
air signs. Right? The Aquarius
is an air sign. The fixed air

174
00:13:08,168 –> 00:13:11,288
sign. Yeah. Libra’s the
cardinal and Gemini is mutable.

175
00:13:11,288 –> 00:13:17,168
So they’re all the… all the air signs.
Yeah exactly. Quite

176
00:13:17,168 –> 00:13:23,608
interesting. And yeah and oh
I’ve got a book here. It is

177
00:13:23,608 –> 00:13:28,008
“Retrograde Planets” by Erin
Sullivan. Really interesting.

178
00:13:28,008 –> 00:13:31,568
Lot of information about the
retrograde planets. That’s

179
00:13:31,568 –> 00:13:35,088
where I found a lot of this
information. But she says that

180
00:13:35,088 –> 00:13:38,128
when the retrogrades are
happening in air signs they

181
00:13:38,128 –> 00:13:41,808
tend to be about relationships.
And you know, your air signs are

182
00:13:41,808 –> 00:13:45,628
kind of a little bit more… not
intellectual but they’re kind

183
00:13:45,628 –> 00:13:50,348
of thinking, rationalizing…
that’s kind of how they are.

184
00:13:50,348 –> 00:13:53,468
Your water signs are more
emotional. Your fire signs are

185
00:13:53,468 –> 00:13:56,908
more passionate, generally
speaking. Your earth signs are

186
00:13:56,908 –> 00:14:00,988
more after stability and that.
But yeah so that’s your air

187
00:14:00,988 –> 00:14:05,388
signs and then next year we’re
going to have a Mercury

188
00:14:05,388 –> 00:14:09,868
retrograde at about 24
Capricorn. So let’s say about

189
00:14:09,868 –> 00:14:16,768
there. 20… why is that not working?
Cuz it’s Mercury ….. 24 Capricorn.

190
00:14:16,768 –> 00:14:21,288
Yeah it it’s going to be one of
those nights. 24 Capricorn.

191
00:14:21,288 –> 00:14:25,128
Then in April we’re going to
have one in about 15 Taurus.

192
00:14:25,128 –> 00:14:34,408
And then in August at 21 Virgo.
So that’ll be all in Earth

193
00:14:34,408 –> 00:14:40,648
signs next year. Yeah.
wow

194
00:14:41,568 –> 00:14:48,068
Yeah, you’re looking forward to
that aren’t you? Definitely.

195
00:14:48,068 –> 00:14:52,868
And then… let’s have a look.
We’ll have… All in the fire

196
00:14:52,868 –> 00:15:02,348
signs. Yes the fire signs.
So let’s say Aries to Leo.

197
00:15:04,068 –> 00:15:11,288
to Sag and back to Aries. And then we
need a water sign after that. Yeah.

198
00:15:11,288 –> 00:15:18,148
So let’s say Pisces to Cancer.
Scorpio.

199
00:15:19,068 –> 00:15:26,608
Very cool. So yeah. I mean you
know, my drawing isn’t exactly

200
00:15:26,608 –> 00:15:29,328
right. But it’s interesting
that they go like that. But

201
00:15:29,328 –> 00:15:33,968
yeah with water apparently when
the retrogrades are in water

202
00:15:33,968 –> 00:15:38,528
signs we tend to be more about
our quality of life. Things to

203
00:15:38,528 –> 00:15:42,928
do with habits and emotional
responses. With air tends to be

204
00:15:42,928 –> 00:15:47,088
about relationships, thinking
and analysis. With earth signs

205
00:15:47,088 –> 00:15:50,368
it tends to be tangible
results. We’re focused on

206
00:15:50,368 –> 00:15:55,568
security and practical things,
practical matters. And with fire signs

207
00:15:55,568 –> 00:15:59,488
we tend to be about inspiration
for the future. So things like

208
00:15:59,488 –> 00:16:03,728
creative stuff. So yeah. I
thought that was interesting.

209
00:16:03,728 –> 00:16:09,488
That is very interesting.
It will come down too, to, you know

210
00:16:09,488 –> 00:16:12,928
what’s in your chart and you
know if it’s hitting anything.

211
00:16:12,928 –> 00:16:18,688
You know, if you’ve got Mercury
stationing on a natal planet or

212
00:16:18,688 –> 00:16:26,528
opposite it or you know square it…
Aspecting by any means whether it’s a

213
00:16:26,528 –> 00:16:31,488
conjunction, a square, an
opposite. It will affect…

214
00:16:31,488 –> 00:16:36,368
And I’d say pretty, I would
keep those – that what we call an

215
00:16:36,368 –> 00:16:42,208
orb – so like this one coming up
at May… so it’s going to be 4°

216
00:16:42,208 –> 00:16:45,248
Gemini. It’s going to go back to
26 Taurus, which is an

217
00:16:45,248 –> 00:16:49,128
interesting degree isn’t it Donna?
It is a very interesting

218
00:16:49,128 –> 00:16:54,848
degree. It’s where… it’s where
Algol resides, which is a mean

219
00:16:54,848 –> 00:16:59,628
star. Not that it, you know,
lashes out at you but it… a lot

220
00:16:59,628 –> 00:17:06,108
of things when planets hit that
particular star… a lot of rough

221
00:17:06,108 –> 00:17:10,508
things can happen. A lot of
violence. It’s a violent, it’s

222
00:17:10,508 –> 00:17:13,148
known to be a violent star.
It’s actually the head of

223
00:17:13,148 –> 00:17:16,908
Medusa. It’s the eye. Which I
think we’ve talked about

224
00:17:16,908 –> 00:17:21,468
before. It it actually blinks
every either 6 minutes or 60

225
00:17:21,468 –> 00:17:24,908
seconds. That’s something to do
with 6. But it it looks like

226
00:17:24,908 –> 00:17:29,248
it’s blinking. If you… if
you watch it for a while it

227
00:17:29,248 –> 00:17:34,008
does actually… it gets less
bright. It looks like it’s blinking at you

228
00:17:34,008 –> 00:17:37,808
Oh, interesting. I don’t know if
it’s visible down here. I’ll

229
00:17:37,808 –> 00:17:42,208
have to check that out.
Well look for the head of Medusa.

230
00:17:42,208 –> 00:17:46,448
Cuz that’s where…
I will I’ll look that up and I’ll find out.

231
00:17:46,448 –> 00:17:50,128
And it’s also going to be…
because like I said this is

232
00:17:50,128 –> 00:17:56,688
what May 2022 , we’re going to
have on May 16th, we’re going to

233
00:17:56,688 –> 00:18:04,888
have an eclipse at 26 Scorpio
opposite, so… And then round

234
00:18:04,888 –> 00:18:08,968
about, what do we say? What
date? The 3rd of June. So

235
00:18:08,968 –> 00:18:14,008
what’s that? Is when it stations direct
Yeah, so it’d be

236
00:18:14,008 –> 00:18:16,968
interesting to see what happens
there if it’s got kind of any

237
00:18:16,968 –> 00:18:21,528
linking with that eclipse.
It will be very interesting to see

238
00:18:21,528 –> 00:18:24,488
because it is hitting that star
by opposition because it’s

239
00:18:24,488 –> 00:18:29,428
going to be it’s going to be
coming from… of course the

240
00:18:29,428 –> 00:18:32,148
Sun is going to be directly on
it (Algol). But it is like going to

241
00:18:32,148 –> 00:18:35,348
be a Lunar Eclipse. But yeah
it’ll be kind of maybe

242
00:18:35,348 –> 00:18:38,708
triggering something with that
degree. Cuz with eclipses

243
00:18:38,708 –> 00:18:43,668
sometimes when Mars or Satun
kind of passes over the eclipse

244
00:18:43,668 –> 00:18:46,948
degree they say it can trigger
things so I don’t know about

245
00:18:46,948 –> 00:18:50,948
stationary planets but the fact
that they’re stationary… You’ve

246
00:18:50,948 –> 00:18:54,388
spoken about this before about
planets… it’s a bit like, you

247
00:18:54,388 –> 00:18:57,748
know, ironing something
backwards and forward, you know

248
00:18:57,748 –> 00:19:01,328
And I kind of think of it
like… ah for some reason I got

249
00:19:01,328 –> 00:19:04,888
this car analogy… I think it’s
Mercury in the 3rd (house) for me… but

250
00:19:04,888 –> 00:19:09,008
it’s like… If a car drives
past your house you might not

251
00:19:09,008 –> 00:19:12,448
notice. You know, you might know
it’s a white car but I mean if

252
00:19:12,448 –> 00:19:15,408
it’s sitting outside your house
for a couple of days you’re

253
00:19:15,408 –> 00:19:17,728
probably going to pay a bit
more attention and it’s a bit

254
00:19:17,728 –> 00:19:22,048
like that when a planet is
stationary, you know. Or it

255
00:19:22,048 –> 00:19:26,368
appears to be stationary. It’s
slow, it’s kind of putting an

256
00:19:26,368 –> 00:19:29,968
emphasis on that planet because
you know Mercury moves pretty

257
00:19:29,968 –> 00:19:35,268
fast usually it might move, you
know, over within in a day sort

258
00:19:35,268 –> 00:19:37,668
of thing. Whereas it might be
sitting there for just two or

259
00:19:37,668 –> 00:19:41,828
three days you know, so. And it’s,
you know, probably going to go

260
00:19:41,828 –> 00:19:47,768
forward and come back and yeah
so mm….. Was there something else

261
00:19:47,768 –> 00:19:53,288
I was going to say? Uh yeah.
When like for this

262
00:19:53,288 –> 00:19:57,288
particular retrograde it’s
going to happen in Taurus and

263
00:19:57,288 –> 00:20:03,528
Gemini. But if Mercury is your
Time Lord… and we’ll do an

264
00:20:03,528 –> 00:20:07,448
episode for Annual Perfections.
And if Mercury happens to

265
00:20:07,448 –> 00:20:10,408
be your Time Lord this is
going to be a particular time

266
00:20:10,408 –> 00:20:14,408
when it’s… it might affect you
more stronger than it normally

267
00:20:14,408 –> 00:20:20,568
would. Yeah. It’ll affect
you stronger than the average

268
00:20:20,568 –> 00:20:23,688
other person and if it, if you
don’t have anything to do with

269
00:20:23,688 –> 00:20:27,528
any of the places where
Mercury’s going to be at. If you

270
00:20:27,528 –> 00:20:30,888
don’t have anything aspecting
those points or or it might not

271
00:20:30,888 –> 00:20:34,288
even affect you at all. I mean
I’ve gone through many

272
00:20:34,288 –> 00:20:38,088
retrogrades and I didn’t even
know that they existed. Well I

273
00:20:38,088 –> 00:20:43,128
knew they existed but I didn’t,
you know, know that they were

274
00:20:43,128 –> 00:20:46,248
going to affect me but if they
weren’t affecting my… any of my

275
00:20:46,248 –> 00:20:51,568
houses or any of my points
there it’s… it can go unnoticed.

276
00:20:51,568 –> 00:20:55,488
But if it is aspecting your
chart in any way

277
00:20:55,488 –> 00:21:01,968
and hitting any of your points
it probably will and I want to

278
00:21:01,968 –> 00:21:07,408
say that this particular one
very well might because it’s on

279
00:21:07,408 –> 00:21:11,088
that Algol star. You’ll hear
of… you’ll probably hear

280
00:21:11,088 –> 00:21:16,528
of something that happened, you
know, with somebody else or …

281
00:21:16,528 –> 00:21:22,668
or in the news… I would think
from that because it’s

282
00:21:22,668 –> 00:21:28,548
that specific point.
Yeah losing your head. Not a really

283
00:21:28,548 –> 00:21:38,628
good thing. So… Mm. Yeah.
So yeah we were saying about

284
00:21:38,628 –> 00:21:42,868
Mercury Retrogrades. They tend
to kind of, you know, they’re

285
00:21:42,868 –> 00:21:46,868
moving through a house and in
the case of like this one, like

286
00:21:46,868 –> 00:21:49,268
Donna was saying it’s going to
start in Gemini, it’s going to

287
00:21:49,268 –> 00:21:54,108
go back into Taurus. So you’re
going to have two houses in the…

288
00:21:54,108 –> 00:21:59,108
that are being emphasised. So
you might feel a change halfway

289
00:21:59,108 –> 00:22:02,788
through that retrograde period.
It might start off with say

290
00:22:02,788 –> 00:22:06,628
third house matters and then
move into second house matters.

291
00:22:06,628 –> 00:22:11,808
Or you know seventh house and
move into sixth house. But yeah

292
00:22:11,808 –> 00:22:15,248
but we’re just going to run
through what Mercury

293
00:22:15,248 –> 00:22:18,368
retrogrades through the houses can mean.
That sounds good. So,

294
00:22:18,368 –> 00:22:21,568
do you want to start off, or…?
Okay. So, if it happens to be

295
00:22:21,568 –> 00:22:25,888
in your first house, you’re
going to be changing or redoing

296
00:22:25,888 –> 00:22:30,368
things that you were doing for
yourself. If you maybe got a

297
00:22:30,368 –> 00:22:33,328
haircut about a week or two ago
and really, you know, your

298
00:22:33,328 –> 00:22:35,728
bangs weren’t quite short
enough and you have to go back

299
00:22:35,728 –> 00:22:39,288
and get them re-shortened, that
would be a Mercury

300
00:22:39,288 –> 00:22:44,068
signification. Anything that you would redo.
I like that. Yeah. Mm hmm.

301
00:22:44,068 –> 00:22:47,668
Yeah yeah. Yeah. If you do
your nails chances are you’re

302
00:22:47,668 –> 00:22:49,668
going to be redoing them
because you’ve… you’re

303
00:22:49,668 –> 00:22:55,028
going to roughly spot them or something.
Yeah yeah. Probably

304
00:22:55,028 –> 00:22:59,268
not a good time to do a a big
major revamp of your image but

305
00:22:59,268 –> 00:23:02,868
it can be a really good time to
research what you want done and

306
00:23:02,868 –> 00:23:07,108
all that sort of thing.
Oh yeah. That research, that

307
00:23:07,108 –> 00:23:12,628
are that “re” yeah yeah.
And if this is happening in your

308
00:23:12,628 –> 00:23:16,388
second house. This is your
house of income, finances and

309
00:23:16,388 –> 00:23:21,268
resources. So you know maybe a
good idea to your pay stub make

310
00:23:21,268 –> 00:23:23,908
sure you’re getting paid
correctly. You know, if you put

311
00:23:23,908 –> 00:23:27,668
in overtime make sure that they
actually pay you the overtime. If

312
00:23:27,668 –> 00:23:31,348
you’re at the shops, you know,
you’re using cash, you know, make

313
00:23:31,348 –> 00:23:34,708
sure they give you the correct
change or that they didn’t

314
00:23:34,708 –> 00:23:41,368
double charge you on your card.
That sort of thing. Yeah… Oh and

315
00:23:41,368 –> 00:23:45,288
if you’re buying things. So, you
know, buying something, make sure

316
00:23:45,288 –> 00:23:48,648
you keep the receipt in case
you need to take it back. Oh

317
00:23:48,648 –> 00:23:54,088
yeah. Cuz you would restock it.
If you were… if you were at the

318
00:23:54,088 –> 00:23:58,088
store you’ll be restocking it.
Yeah so on the third house

319
00:23:58,088 –> 00:24:01,688
if it happens to be hitting
your third house or you know a

320
00:24:01,688 –> 00:24:04,648
planet is aspecting it that way.
It’s going to have to do

321
00:24:04,648 –> 00:24:08,328
with your community. So you
would… might be redoing some

322
00:24:08,328 –> 00:24:12,648
errands that you had already
planned. If you, you know… You

323
00:24:12,648 –> 00:24:15,928
went to the cleaners you didn’t
have everything with you. You

324
00:24:15,928 –> 00:24:21,048
would have to go back and
retake something back to, you

325
00:24:21,048 –> 00:24:25,048
know, the cleaners or whatever
your errands would be. You

326
00:24:25,048 –> 00:24:31,048
would be redoing them.
Yeah yeah. Maybe retaking a test if

327
00:24:31,048 –> 00:24:35,448
you were at like in school.
Yeah. Yeah. Actually… and of

328
00:24:35,448 –> 00:24:38,888
course, like, short trips in
this. So you know sometimes

329
00:24:38,888 –> 00:24:44,228
flat tires or things wrong with
the car and electronics and that.

330
00:24:44,228 –> 00:24:47,388
So like, you know, make sure
everything’s backed up and

331
00:24:47,388 –> 00:24:51,668
yeah. But definitely with the
transportation. Yeah anything.

332
00:24:51,668 –> 00:24:55,748
I mean… we say redo
things but it could also just

333
00:24:55,748 –> 00:24:59,988
be plain old snafus that just
come at you sideways and you’re

334
00:24:59,988 –> 00:25:04,308
like – why did that happen here?
Its Mercury retrograde.

335
00:25:04,308 –> 00:25:09,108
That’s why that happens.
And if this is happening in your

336
00:25:09,108 –> 00:25:12,228
fourth house this is your house
of home and your living

337
00:25:12,228 –> 00:25:16,628
situation. It’s also real
estate. It’s also family. So it

338
00:25:16,628 –> 00:25:19,948
could be parents and that. Could
be long lost relatives pop up

339
00:25:19,948 –> 00:25:22,268
at this time. You mightn’t have
seen them for years and

340
00:25:22,268 –> 00:25:24,988
suddenly they’re back in your
life for a short amount of

341
00:25:24,988 –> 00:25:28,748
time. If you’re ,you know,
selling, buying real estate,

342
00:25:28,748 –> 00:25:31,948
signing a lease, something like
that. Just make sure, you know,

343
00:25:31,948 –> 00:25:35,228
you’re aware of all the facts.
Just, you know, don’t just kind

344
00:25:35,228 –> 00:25:38,348
of sign without looking. Make
sure you know exactly what

345
00:25:38,348 –> 00:25:40,828
you’re doing because maybe
there’s something that you just

346
00:25:40,828 –> 00:25:45,948
haven’t been paying attention.
So make sure to review. That’s

347
00:25:45,948 –> 00:25:50,888
some really good advice. And if
it happens to do with your… in

348
00:25:50,888 –> 00:25:53,688
the fifth house this is
going to have to do with your

349
00:25:53,688 –> 00:25:58,888
kids or things that you or
the things that you create. So

350
00:25:58,888 –> 00:26:01,528
probably if you’re working at a
painting you’re probably

351
00:26:01,528 –> 00:26:05,768
going to want to redo like a
spot that isn’t sitting with

352
00:26:05,768 –> 00:26:08,488
well with you or if your kids
are living with you they’re

353
00:26:08,488 –> 00:26:11,848
going to be redoing things or
they might be removing back

354
00:26:11,848 –> 00:26:17,928
into your house. So those could
be all those Mercury

355
00:26:17,928 –> 00:26:22,428
retrograde kind of things.
Yeah good time for editing or

356
00:26:22,428 –> 00:26:27,788
going back and re… redoing
something. Yeah, like you know if

357
00:26:27,788 –> 00:26:30,748
you’ve put it aside, now’s a
good time to come back and look

358
00:26:30,748 –> 00:26:36,588
at it with fresh eyes sort of
thing. Yes. And if this is in

359
00:26:36,588 –> 00:26:42,108
your sixth house this is your
house of illness. It’s also pets

360
00:26:42,108 –> 00:26:47,548
and work… work for others,
service for others. So this

361
00:26:47,548 –> 00:26:51,628
could be… I’ve seen this like,
you know, paperwork and that. I

362
00:26:51,628 –> 00:26:54,428
remember taking my daughter to
she had to get some tests and

363
00:26:54,428 –> 00:26:57,148
we got there and it’s like – “Oh I
don’t have the paperwork”. So I

364
00:26:57,148 –> 00:26:59,708
had to go back and get the
paperwork. I’ve known people

365
00:26:59,708 –> 00:27:03,148
that have had to go back to
have, you know, like a mammogram

366
00:27:03,148 –> 00:27:05,548
redone because you know the
results weren’t quite right

367
00:27:05,548 –> 00:27:09,548
sort of thing. Yeah, so that
sort of thing can happen.

368
00:27:09,548 –> 00:27:12,268
You might see old work
colleagues or people that used

369
00:27:12,268 –> 00:27:17,628
to work for you at this time.
Or redo a surgery. If you

370
00:27:17,628 –> 00:27:21,548
have, you know…
Yeah that’s a distinct possibility

371
00:27:21,548 –> 00:27:26,228
That that kind of issue
might come up for… during a

372
00:27:26,228 –> 00:27:31,608
retrograde. Yeah. Yeah.
So, moving on to the seventh

373
00:27:31,608 –> 00:27:38,888
house, that could have to do
with… if you are out, those are

374
00:27:38,888 –> 00:27:41,768
the one-on-one relationships.
So, you might have somebody who

375
00:27:41,768 –> 00:27:45,208
was an old relationship come
back into your life which is

376
00:27:45,208 –> 00:27:51,368
you know, one of the
significations or you could you

377
00:27:51,368 –> 00:27:57,128
know redo your wedding vows
might come up… Nice! I like that

378
00:27:57,128 –> 00:28:05,688
I like that a lot. …during the retrograde.
Yeah. So yeah, stuff like that. And if this

379
00:28:05,688 –> 00:28:08,888
is happening in your eighth
house, this is the health of

380
00:28:08,888 –> 00:28:14,568
other people’s money. So this
can be inheritances. It can be

381
00:28:14,568 –> 00:28:17,768
wills. It can be loans. It can be
debts. It can be financial

382
00:28:17,768 –> 00:28:22,408
agreements. So you want to make
sure that everything’s, you know,

383
00:28:22,408 –> 00:28:26,868
as it should be. You know, you’re
not signing paperwork that, you

384
00:28:26,868 –> 00:28:29,908
know, you’re not fully aware of
what’s happening. You also

385
00:28:29,908 –> 00:28:33,108
want to make sure… well, you
don’t want to make sure, you

386
00:28:33,108 –> 00:28:36,388
might find that there’s delays,
setbacks. You know, you think

387
00:28:36,388 –> 00:28:39,668
everything’s going right but – oh
no. This person hasn’t signed

388
00:28:39,668 –> 00:28:43,028
this. So you gotta go back and
get them to do this or, you know,

389
00:28:43,028 –> 00:28:48,068
somebody’s missed something or
it… it, you know, it’s under a

390
00:28:48,068 –> 00:28:50,948
whole heap of paperwork and
just been missed. That sort of

391
00:28:50,948 –> 00:28:57,108
thing. Yeah. Yeah. This
is a good time to just recheck

392
00:28:57,108 –> 00:29:03,128
and make sure that everything
is… is there, you know, when

393
00:29:03,128 –> 00:29:06,888
you go in for any appointments.
So if it happens to be in your

394
00:29:06,888 –> 00:29:11,608
ninth house you might be
redoing tests and it has to do

395
00:29:11,608 –> 00:29:15,288
with higher education and
travel. You could get a lot

396
00:29:15,288 –> 00:29:18,408
of snafus if you’re doing foreign
travel. I know Lynda, you

397
00:29:18,408 –> 00:29:23,648
have quite a story. Yeah.
Yeah. Or the higher

398
00:29:23,648 –> 00:29:31,348
education. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.
40 hours in transit. But yeah

399
00:29:31,348 –> 00:29:36,568
don’t travel during Mercury
retrograding in ninth house.

400
00:29:36,568 –> 00:29:42,328
And if this is happening in the
tenth house you might be seeing

401
00:29:42,328 –> 00:29:45,128
old bosses. You might be
running into people you used to

402
00:29:45,128 –> 00:29:48,528
work with, because this is
the house of career and public

403
00:29:48,528 –> 00:29:54,168
reputation. Could be, you
know, maybe you’re being

404
00:29:54,168 –> 00:29:58,408
honored for something that you
did before. It’s come back now.

405
00:29:58,408 –> 00:30:01,088
You know, you put some good out
into the world and now it’s

406
00:30:01,088 –> 00:30:09,388
rebounded. Oh cool, and
in your 11th house this

407
00:30:09,388 –> 00:30:13,068
is your house of groups, of
groups and of people. So you

408
00:30:13,068 –> 00:30:16,908
might want to get where
everybody re, you know, re back

409
00:30:16,908 –> 00:30:20,348
together especially during you
know after the couple years

410
00:30:20,348 –> 00:30:24,028
we’ve had. You know, where you’re
reconnecting with groups of

411
00:30:24,028 –> 00:30:27,068
people. You’re finally able to
do that. So that would be a one…

412
00:30:27,068 –> 00:30:36,568
a very good positive aspect yeah.
Really nice. I would just… Also if you

413
00:30:36,568 –> 00:30:40,248
kind of had, you know, a special
hope or dream that you’ve been

414
00:30:40,248 –> 00:30:43,448
working towards but you’ve put
it aside – maybe a good time to

415
00:30:43,448 –> 00:30:47,208
go back and revisit that. See
just how achievable it might

416
00:30:47,208 –> 00:30:52,328
be. Yeah. And if this is
happening in your twelfth house

417
00:30:52,328 –> 00:30:56,488
this is the house of your
undoing. So it could be issues

418
00:30:56,488 –> 00:31:02,968
to do with addictions or mental
illness or self-defeating

419
00:31:02,968 –> 00:31:06,708
habits, escapism, you know
little things like that, or

420
00:31:06,708 –> 00:31:10,068
maybe not so little. Things
like that might come back.

421
00:31:10,068 –> 00:31:14,228
There might be a relapse
perhaps or maybe you’re going

422
00:31:14,228 –> 00:31:20,388
back you know trying to
overcome that. Also the

423
00:31:20,388 –> 00:31:25,588
places of confinement and… such
as hospitals or prisons. So

424
00:31:25,588 –> 00:31:29,348
perhaps you meet somebody that
you haven’t seen for a while

425
00:31:29,348 –> 00:31:32,068
that you knew through one of
those institutions or a

426
00:31:32,068 –> 00:31:36,568
monastery or a place of
retreat. Something like that.

427
00:31:36,568 –> 00:31:40,168
So yeah. Very good. Or a good
time to sequester yourself and

428
00:31:40,168 –> 00:31:45,208
redo a project you were trying to do.
And that’s the other

429
00:31:45,208 –> 00:31:48,568
thing. Yeah because the twelve
house can often be a good time

430
00:31:48,568 –> 00:31:53,128
to do things behind the scenes
and apparently with the

431
00:31:53,128 –> 00:31:56,568
retrograde that can kind of
muck with things. So maybe not

432
00:31:56,568 –> 00:32:00,648
the best time to be planning
behind the scenes… but what can

433
00:32:00,648 –> 00:32:06,548
you do? It is Mercury retrograde.
Yeah yeah. Doing it

434
00:32:06,548 –> 00:32:12,408
twice. And I mean it happens
about 3 times every 13

435
00:32:12,408 –> 00:32:16,328
months or so. So it’s about
every four months which is you

436
00:32:16,328 –> 00:32:20,328
know every four months fits in
with why they have that

437
00:32:20,328 –> 00:32:27,208
elemental relationship. So…
because, you know, the signs are

438
00:32:27,208 –> 00:32:34,288
4 signs apart. All in earth, all in air, air,
all in fire or all in water. Very

439
00:32:34,288 –> 00:32:40,148
interesting. That is definitely
something I’m going to keep my

440
00:32:40,148 –> 00:32:45,708
eye open on for, you know, on
how those are affecting that

441
00:32:45,708 –> 00:32:50,908
elements. Yeah. We will be
doing a… obviously, we will be

442
00:32:50,908 –> 00:32:56,748
doing a Annual Profections
episode pretty soon because, you

443
00:32:56,748 –> 00:33:00,988
know, things don’t happen if… if
it’s… if it’s not the right

444
00:33:00,988 –> 00:33:04,108
time. You know your grandmother
said “timing is everything” or

445
00:33:04,108 –> 00:33:07,708
your grandfather said “timing is
everything” or your parents. That

446
00:33:07,708 –> 00:33:11,308
is, that is… this is why. If it’s…
if it’s not activated it’s

447
00:33:11,308 –> 00:33:16,248
probably not going to happen.
So we really need to do one

448
00:33:16,248 –> 00:33:19,928
of those. Yeah well, maybe we’ll
do that one next. I mean what

449
00:33:19,928 –> 00:33:25,208
have we gotta do next? We’ve
gotta do another… must be, what?

450
00:33:25,208 –> 00:33:33,768
The new moon in… what are we up
to? Must be Gemini

451
00:33:33,768 –> 00:33:39,508
coming up. Yeah, at the end of
May. So yeah we’ll have to do

452
00:33:39,508 –> 00:33:41,988
that and then maybe we’ll do
the Annual Profections. But

453
00:33:41,988 –> 00:33:45,588
what I have noticed with say
people that have Mercury as

454
00:33:45,588 –> 00:33:49,188
Lord of the Year. Sometimes when
it’s stationed… sometimes it’s

455
00:33:49,188 –> 00:33:53,188
not on the actual day it stations
but it’s still the degree. So

456
00:33:53,188 –> 00:34:00,188
that degree is, you know, that
can be really really strong. So

457
00:34:00,188 –> 00:34:07,748
Very cool. Yes we’ve had an
eventful recording. We had what

458
00:34:07,748 –> 00:34:12,508
was it? Smoke alarms going off
within like minutes and then

459
00:34:12,508 –> 00:34:16,388
yeah we’ve had lots of things.
Donna froze for a little while.

460
00:34:16,388 –> 00:34:20,211
I did. Yeah. So yeah.
But you know what?

461
00:34:20,211 –> 00:34:24,668
That’s you still have to plug along. I mean just
because the planets are not

462
00:34:24,668 –> 00:34:28,468
favorable to you doesn’t mean
you should just give up or stop

463
00:34:28,468 –> 00:34:32,148
your life. You just need to
plug along and expect

464
00:34:32,148 –> 00:34:38,568
them and ride adventures.
Yeah and I mean like, as we said

465
00:34:38,568 –> 00:34:42,168
we’re in this Mercury shadow
period. I was supposed to meet

466
00:34:42,168 –> 00:34:47,928
a friend today and yeah… just
didn’t happen because… yeah just

467
00:34:47,928 –> 00:34:53,688
not good. Traffic duh duh
duh da dah that so…

468
00:34:55,108 –> 00:34:58,608
You’re looking absolutely
shocked and appalled there

469
00:34:58,608 –> 00:35:03,868
Donna. I just had a couple
things flash on my screen and

470
00:35:03,868 –> 00:35:07,548
I’m not quite sure. I’ve never
seen them before do that. Oh

471
00:35:07,548 –> 00:35:11,948
oh. So. That’s not a good sign.
Well if it flashes on the

472
00:35:11,948 –> 00:35:19,668
screen it’s… Okay, fair enough. .
It is a Mercury, as we were saying,

473
00:35:19,668 –> 00:35:23,668
it’s a Mercury Retrograde and
you just have to , if you can, if

474
00:35:23,668 –> 00:35:26,228
you know about it ahead of
time, you can plan ahead and

475
00:35:26,228 –> 00:35:29,428
plan ahead to like to, you
know, sit down and redo that

476
00:35:29,428 –> 00:35:32,228
painting or re-go over your
your… if you haven’t been

477
00:35:32,228 –> 00:35:38,468
through your Email and good to,
you know, do that and… Yeah.

478
00:35:38,468 –> 00:35:41,468
Yeah. Redo, get your life in
order. This is a good time to

479
00:35:41,468 –> 00:35:44,868
reorganize your life. This is a
good time to reorganize a

480
00:35:44,868 –> 00:35:49,028
pantry. It’s a good time to
organize a closet, your dresser

481
00:35:49,028 –> 00:35:55,228
your life, your love life, you know, whatever.
Well yeah… no! DO

482
00:35:55,228 –> 00:36:04,028
NOT take him back… or her!
Yeah, if an ex comes back

483
00:36:04,028 –> 00:36:07,708
into your life, it’s probably
not the best time to be

484
00:36:07,708 –> 00:36:12,628
thinking about it. See if you
still feel the same way after

485
00:36:12,628 –> 00:36:17,428
the retrograde period.
Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz chances

486
00:36:17,428 –> 00:36:21,348
are you know there it’s you
know it’s out for a reason.

487
00:36:21,348 –> 00:36:28,228
Yeah yeah. So yeah but it
can be… yeah, well I don’t know

488
00:36:28,228 –> 00:36:31,348
if I’d call it a fun time but
yeah. What can you do? You just

489
00:36:31,348 –> 00:36:33,828
gotta laugh and yeah just
kind of keep your wits about

490
00:36:33,828 –> 00:36:37,188
you. Well know that it’s coming
and this is the energy that

491
00:36:37,188 –> 00:36:41,348
it’s trying to teach you.
That’s… I mean you’re

492
00:36:41,348 –> 00:36:44,948
you’re on this planet to
learn and you’re on the planet

493
00:36:44,948 –> 00:36:50,628
to, you know, work with
other people. So how you can

494
00:36:50,628 –> 00:36:55,828
get the best representation of
yourself is what you’re trying

495
00:36:55,828 –> 00:37:01,188
to do as far as I’m concerned.
That’s my philosophy. No, no, I

496
00:37:01,188 –> 00:37:04,788
think that’s a good one. And
that’s what I’ve heard too ,that

497
00:37:04,788 –> 00:37:08,868
like, you know, you might have
done something. Just say you

498
00:37:08,868 –> 00:37:13,568
were doing a report and, you
know, the computer just goes pfft

499
00:37:13,568 –> 00:37:17,888
everything’s gone. It didn’t
auto save. So you gotta rewrite

500
00:37:17,888 –> 00:37:20,768
it but maybe you write it
better, you know, and it’s better

501
00:37:20,768 –> 00:37:23,408
than the original. That’s what
they say. That sometimes by

502
00:37:23,408 –> 00:37:28,928
having to redo or go over or
you know… you wanted to go to

503
00:37:28,928 –> 00:37:32,928
the store to buy this and it
wasn’t the right one or you

504
00:37:32,928 –> 00:37:36,688
know you had to take it back
because it didn’t work and you

505
00:37:36,688 –> 00:37:43,088
know, so you get a better one. I mean…
Oh, so, you’re saying like

506
00:37:43,088 –> 00:37:48,448
saying the the planets didn’t like
this version. Just throw it

507
00:37:48,448 –> 00:37:56,828
out. Get rid of this. Yeah. Okay. Fine.
Start again. It seemed

508
00:37:56,828 –> 00:38:02,908
very Mars like. It did. It did
seem like Mars. Oh, oh speaking

509
00:38:02,908 –> 00:38:08,588
of Mars, I’m glad you said that because
Mars is… where Mercury is

510
00:38:08,588 –> 00:38:13,868
retrograding this particular
one… and it does it three times

511
00:38:13,868 –> 00:38:17,508
a year so this isn’t that
special but it is special in

512
00:38:17,508 –> 00:38:22,548
regards to Mars is going to be
on, or in that sign for six

513
00:38:22,548 –> 00:38:27,108
months. Which is way longer than
it normally is in a sign. Like

514
00:38:27,108 –> 00:38:31,348
three times longer than it is
normally in a sign. Mars is a

515
00:38:31,348 –> 00:38:37,228
is a pretty quick planet as
well. But it’s going to be in

516
00:38:37,228 –> 00:38:44,868
Gemini for six months or very
close to it. So get familiar

517
00:38:44,868 –> 00:38:49,828
with that Gemini energy. I’m
sorry what? Yeah August 20 I

518
00:38:49,828 –> 00:38:54,148
think Mercury, not Mercury, Mars
is going to go into Gemini. And

519
00:38:54,148 –> 00:38:58,548
I think it’s in there till like
January 2023 or something.

520
00:38:58,548 –> 00:39:01,028
That’s it is. That’s a long
time. Yeah it might be even

521
00:39:01,028 –> 00:39:06,068
longer. It is. Yeah. Yeah so.
So yeah get used to Gemini.

522
00:39:06,068 –> 00:39:10,388
Whatever the house Gemini’s in.
Yeah. It’s going to be fun.

523
00:39:10,388 –> 00:39:14,548
It’s being noticed. It’s
being noticed by the planet.

524
00:39:14,548 –> 00:39:19,428
And the planets want
you to do something with that

525
00:39:19,428 –> 00:39:23,648
house. Well this might be a good
time to kind of prepare for

526
00:39:23,648 –> 00:39:28,768
that retrograde Mars that is
coming up because, you know, get

527
00:39:28,768 –> 00:39:33,008
your house in order whatever
house Gemini is in and because

528
00:39:33,008 –> 00:39:36,368
when Mars gets in there it’s
going to be frustrated because

529
00:39:36,368 –> 00:39:40,528
Mars just wants to go ahead.
Wants to move forward and it’s

530
00:39:40,528 –> 00:39:43,248
going to be kind of like having
to go back over old ground. So

531
00:39:43,248 –> 00:39:47,568
he’s going to get very
cranky. So, if you can kind of

532
00:39:47,568 –> 00:39:50,848
pave the way a little bit
during this Mercury retrograde

533
00:39:50,848 –> 00:39:54,928
maybe it will be helpful.
Yeah. Yeah, make sure all your ducks

534
00:39:54,928 –> 00:39:58,128
are in a row, especially when
it has to do with your Gemini

535
00:39:58,128 –> 00:40:01,968
house, wherever that is falling
in your, in your, in your

536
00:40:01,968 –> 00:40:07,168
natal chart. It would be, it’d
be advisable to, to take a look

537
00:40:07,168 –> 00:40:11,088
and make sure that you have
that house in order, because I

538
00:40:11,088 –> 00:40:15,728
think that’s what Mercury’s
doing, you know, going over it,

539
00:40:15,728 –> 00:40:22,608
making sure it’s, you know, all wiped clean.
It’s making me, making

540
00:40:22,608 –> 00:40:26,428
me think of like, you know, the
herald or like the page that

541
00:40:26,428 –> 00:40:29,868
goes ahead. You know, because I
mean Mercury’s a messenger and

542
00:40:29,868 –> 00:40:33,148
that but yeah I, I’m just getting
a image of like Mercury going

543
00:40:33,148 –> 00:40:38,028
ahead and saying “Yep. Mars,
Sir Mars is coming. Get your

544
00:40:38,028 –> 00:40:43,708
house in order”. Help Help.
Yeah yeah. Yeah I would think

545
00:40:43,708 –> 00:40:46,668
so. Well we have, you know,
scouts you know. You go up on

546
00:40:46,668 –> 00:40:51,708
up ahead before you bring the
the major energy behind or

547
00:40:51,708 –> 00:40:54,568
the you know, the
traveling party. You have a

548
00:40:54,568 –> 00:40:57,928
scout up ahead to make sure
there’s, you know, if there’s

549
00:40:57,928 –> 00:41:02,248
rivers to be crossed. Give
people a heads up. So this very

550
00:41:02,248 –> 00:41:07,368
well might be a heads up.
Yeah, yeah. Now I’m curious if

551
00:41:07,368 –> 00:41:13,208
Mercury and Mars do kind of
travel in some sort of… I don’t

552
00:41:13,208 –> 00:41:16,808
know. Probably not. Maybe. Who knows?
But that’s what I love about

553
00:41:16,808 –> 00:41:21,888
astrology. It’s like hmmmm.
Yeah. You wonder like… I wonder if

554
00:41:21,888 –> 00:41:25,648
that there’s any connection.
I’m just going to guess.

555
00:41:25,648 –> 00:41:31,088
Yes, there is a connection.
That’s you know. That’s just

556
00:41:31,088 –> 00:41:35,768
me. I think there is. I’m
finding out there’s a

557
00:41:35,768 –> 00:41:40,888
connection more often than not.
Yeah. Yeah. All these different

558
00:41:40,888 –> 00:41:44,168
cycles and that’s what’s so
fascinating about astrology and

559
00:41:44,168 –> 00:41:55,148
when those cycles collide.
Yeah. So where can people

560
00:41:55,148 –> 00:41:58,828
contact you Donna? Where can
they find you? You can

561
00:41:58,828 –> 00:42:04,428
contact me at
DonnaBarrConsulting@gmail.com. I also

562
00:42:04,428 –> 00:42:10,508
have a website
www.DonnaBAstrology.com and you can read

563
00:42:10,508 –> 00:42:17,628
all kinds of my… well, my views
on what I think the planets

564
00:42:17,628 –> 00:42:21,388
do. I also work with crystals.
I have some crystal information

565
00:42:21,388 –> 00:42:28,068
there too. I have a question.
Go ahead. Is there a crystal that can help

566
00:42:28,068 –> 00:42:31,668
with Mercury retrograde?

567
00:42:33,568 –> 00:42:39,748
There would be, I don’t have
one right with me. Well, you

568
00:42:39,748 –> 00:42:44,508
know what? Actually, all of them.
Yeah. Well I’m just

569
00:42:44,508 –> 00:42:50,188
wondering too whether….
Oh yeah, I do. Whether like the different type

570
00:42:50,188 –> 00:42:55,228
of what element it is. So like
we’re in air sign retrogrades

571
00:42:55,228 –> 00:42:58,108
at the moment. Whether it would
be a slightly different crystal

572
00:42:58,108 –> 00:43:01,628
for the different element retrogrades?
No I have more

573
00:43:01,628 –> 00:43:05,228
supportive crystals

574
00:43:06,568 –> 00:43:11,068
you know, that would help help
the symptoms. Okay so this like

575
00:43:11,068 –> 00:43:18,428
Fluorite would help with focus.
Oh okay yes yes. Purple. You

576
00:43:18,428 –> 00:43:24,028
know Lepidolite calms you down.
This helps you breathe

577
00:43:24,028 –> 00:43:27,588
easier. It’s… you know, keeps you
moisture… keeps you

578
00:43:27,588 –> 00:43:34,428
moisturized. Like if you have a
sunburn, like I do.

579
00:43:35,568 –> 00:43:42,868
The Mercurial stones are… well
the element Mercury would

580
00:43:42,868 –> 00:43:48,988
definitely support Mercury. I
wouldn’t take it out of the

581
00:43:48,988 –> 00:43:54,268
thermometer that you might find
Mercury in because it is toxic.

582
00:43:54,268 –> 00:44:01,628
So a lot of… there’s a
few. There’s another… there’s

583
00:44:01,628 –> 00:44:04,588
another what I call a Mercury
stone. It’s called Cinnabrite

584
00:44:04,588 –> 00:44:08,188
and I call it my Mercury stone.
I used it to do a lot of my

585
00:44:08,188 –> 00:44:11,868
writing on… original writing on
my website which I really need

586
00:44:11,868 –> 00:44:16,188
to redo because… you know it’s
Mercury retrograde and my

587
00:44:16,188 –> 00:44:19,388
website hasn’t had a … I
haven’t rewritten my intro

588
00:44:19,388 –> 00:44:27,128
in three years, so. I will probably be
doing that. What are you

589
00:44:27,128 –> 00:44:30,848
doing with your… how are you… how
can people contact you Lynda?

590
00:44:30,848 –> 00:44:35,768
I’m at Scullywag Astrology.
That’s www.astrology.scullywag.com

591
00:44:35,768 –> 00:44:41,608
I’m on Facebook and
Twitter and Instagram.

592
00:44:41,608 –> 00:44:46,488
I’m doing readings. Natal
readings, relationship readings,

593
00:44:46,488 –> 00:44:49,608
year ahead. We can do the
annual profections for you to

594
00:44:49,608 –> 00:44:54,888
tell you what planets to look
out for. And that’s

595
00:44:54,888 –> 00:44:58,568
about it. And if you know your
time and birth place, you can get

596
00:44:58,568 –> 00:45:03,208
a hold of either Lynda or I to
help you find out where that

597
00:45:03,208 –> 00:45:09,628
Gemini house is for you.
Yeah that’s a point, yeah. And we’d

598
00:45:09,628 –> 00:45:15,708
be happy to help you with your chart.
Yeah. Yes. It’s very

599
00:45:15,708 –> 00:45:21,708
jumpy energy isn’t it Donna?
Yeah. Oh, I’m jumpy. Mercury

600
00:45:21,708 –> 00:45:27,468
is not known to..
Well yeah and we’re currently between

601
00:45:27,468 –> 00:45:32,348
eclipses too which doesn’t help.
No. As we’re recording

602
00:45:32,348 –> 00:45:35,788
this so yeah. Yeah. I have the
Sun right on my ascendant which

603
00:45:35,788 –> 00:45:40,988
gave me the burnt face. Just
three days ago. Still not

604
00:45:40,988 –> 00:45:49,308
recovered. Okay. Well thank you
for listening, and yeah

605
00:45:49,308 –> 00:45:57,948
please like, share, rate, follow…
And comment. Thank you.. Yeah, comment.

606
00:45:57,948 –> 00:46:01,548
you for watching.
Tell us if you know where Mercury is in

607
00:46:01,548 –> 00:46:05,308
your chart. Where Mercury is in
your chart. Where Gemini is in

608
00:46:05,308 –> 00:46:13,948
your chart and yeah.
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Bye.
