Mercury REturns to Virgo as he REtrieves his shadow.
Mercury fully integrates his shadow on 9/11/24, the day after the (one and only) presidential debate.
During Mercury’s recent REtrograde, he was on a REconnaissance mission backtracking through Virgo and REvisiting theatrical, “Joy Vibes” Leo.
Leo’s media-generated, big production “Joy Vibe” afflatus was short-lived due to Virgo Mercury’s requisite “cut the BS, give me substance” mindset.
“…Lights. Camera. (CGI) Action!”
Discernment and (obligatory) objectivity are essential, especially now.
Mercury rules Virgo. As a matter of fact, Mercury is exalted in Virgo’s practicality, unerring good judgement, and critical (hyper-critical) thinking.
Very little escapes Mercury Virgo’s attention to detail who prizes precision and functionality.
Virgo Mercury will unapologetically call you out –
and anyone else in his fastidious field of vision…
- Jost, 25 July 24
During Mercury’s retrograde, our attention was directed to what lies beneath the surface of the obvious. He double checked facts with a finer-toothed comb and assessed if their application to the ‘real world’ functions optimally.
The first word that popped into my psychic field and stream of consciousness is –
Apophenia.
Apophenia is the ability to see patterns and perceive connections between apparent unrelated things and events.
‘Conspiracy Theories’ are filed under Apophenia.
Therefore, this retrograde period disseminated Apophenia’s intuitive ability to a wider sphere of percipients who before were blocked in cognitive dissonance.
The retrograde validated previously-deemed conspiracy theories as fact.
Virgo rules the stomach and digestion.
Mercury rules the nervous system.
What’s eating at you, turning you into knots?
Is it an unidentified source of unease that subliminally troubles the mind?
It might be somewhat similar to that gnawing sensation you feel in the gut when despite the girl/boy/them/friend seeming all warm and cosy, THE one – you can’t quite shake the feeling they’re a lying, cheating snake in the grass.
Dig deeper to determine the root cause.
Some things that arise in the daily news aren’t going to sit right with a lot of people. There might be increased nervousness and mental agitation.
What was once acceptable before, will become increasingly undigestible moving forward.
