ART: MYSTIC MAMMA
Mercury goes Retrograde on September 17th in Libra bringing the gifts of clear seeing and bridging the past with opportunities to resolve and bring truth to light.
Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights. First from MOLLY HALL from Astrology/About.com:
“The third and final retrograde period for 2015 is from September 17th to October 9th in Libra…
“All Mercury retrograde cycles in 2015 have been in air signs, and this is awesome for recovering clarity in confusing times.
“And as French writer Marcel Proust famously wrote, ‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.’
“Mercury is mostly in Libra for the retro cycle, the air sign of relating, coming to terms with another and the instinct for fairness.
“There could be real miracles of seeing, that lead to making peace with someone that’s had a deep hold in your psyche.
“Mercury retrogrades can be a time of deep mystery…When Mercury is air signs, we get some space and can sometimes see as if on the outside, looking in.
“That can free us from the grip of a situation we’re enmeshed in. This can be a retreat, where the ‘treat’ is a break from muddled chaos.
“It’s a retrograde to remember how clear-thinking you are, when you’re acting and thinking clearly.
“Mercury Libra encourages the recall of states where you’re at peace within yourself, because you’re holding to a high standard, even within your own psyche.
“This one is for reflecting on what fragments your mind, distracts needlessly or throws you into nightmarish states. What kinds of activities make you feel at peace?
“What’s Possible?
Striving to be fair, in thought, word and deed. If you’ve fallen short of your own standards, now’s the time for a morale revival.
Realizations about triggers that make you lose your equilibrium. Musing on how to safeguard your peace of mind, to survive these toxic times.
Taking another look at assumptions in your relationships, that lead to patterns, and seeing which ones are due for an update.
Making things right, with the other side of the story being told, for a more truthful picture.
A return to high-mindedness, and shunning of all that degrades and makes life and humanity seem ugly.
The reappearance of an old partner, beloved, close friend, frenemy or enemy.
Re-imagining the terms of agreement, with fairness in mind.”

From astrologer CHAD WOODWARD from KOSMIC MIND:
“First off, don’t panic. While Mercury retrograde is notorious for its unpredictable behavior which can be rather annoying, worrying doesn’t help anyone. Mercury can be quite the trickster, but it has an intention behind its madness.
“When Mercury turns retrograde, it opens up new realities to us—realities we have been too distracted or ignorant to see. And that should be an exciting thing.
“The mind doesn’t like to admit what it doesn’t know. Yet, one’s sense of absolute certainty can weaken and annihilate the greatest of warriors.
“Occasionally we need to have some holes poked in our worldview and perception, to keep things fresh, to keep our mind loose and open. So, this is a time to admit what you don’t know. Admit what you have refused or have been incapable of seeing…”
“Mercury governs anything involving communication. In our fast paced, high-tech world, we are completely immersed in technological environments and so Mercury has even more at its disposal—more things to play with.
“Just be mindful of potential disruptions and breakdowns with any kind of technological device or equipment, and be on the lookout for misunderstandings in your social interactions.
“Mercury retrograde is a time to review everything that you’re doing. Before hastily pushing forward with anything always double check your work and all the variables involved. This is particularly important when it comes to signing any kind of contract. Read the fine print carefully.
“And if you’re in doubt, back off, and wait it out…If you work with this cycle, you will find that you have extra time, and that whatever you thought needed to be urgently initiated could actually wait a few weeks.
“In fact, you’ll find that things will work out far more successfully if you do. The sign of Libra, as I stated, relates to this instinct to build bridges, and every retrograde connects us to the past.
“This is a time to potentially rebuild some bridges you may have thought you needed to burn. Sometimes, burnt bridges can be reestablished. We can mend past conflicts and misunderstandings, just to keep things peaceful and to clear ourselves of the karma.
“What bridges do you need to rebuild now? How can you reestablish harmony with certain people and situations in your life right now?
“While some bridges need to be left in the past, others may truly benefit you in the future. Trust your instincts, and trust the moment as it presents itself to you.
“This cycle may have us needing to reach out a little just to clarify ourselves and where we stand, even though we may feel more introspective and less inclined to do so.
“So, try to find that beautiful balance, that yin and yang between reaching out and reaching in with this cycle. It’s always a good exercise to connect both the internal and external worlds…”
“Mercury is an archetype that seeks to expand our perception of reality. During this cycle, humble yourself enough to see things from both perspectives, even that of someone else.
“This is a time to open your mind and consider the input from others so that you have a more well -rounded perspective. When Mercury stations direct in October, you’ll have a better understanding so that you can move forward with something or with particular relationships.
“Mercury will make three squares to the planet Pluto in Capricorn during this cycle…Pluto is putting some pressure on Mercury to face some uncomfortable truths.
“As Mercury and Pluto come into contact, you may encounter people or situations that require you to speak honestly and directly about where you stand.
“This is a time to work things out and lay some things out on the table, but it will require taking the initiative and maintaining your integrity. If you succeed, you may make a breakthrough in the way you relate and communicate to others.
“Pluto in Capricorn will require complete authentic, clear, and honest communication, and that will be difficult to achieve. If you can avoid blame and projection, by maintaining accountability and taking responsibility, you will be able to clear the air of some heavy karma and potentially toxic emotional baggage…”
“With this cycle, we are coming to a particular bridge. It’s time to decide whether or not you wish to cross it. If you do, you may enter an entirely new terrain. If you don’t, that’s okay too. Like I said, some bridges need mending and others may need to be left alone. And that choice is always yours to make.”

And from the Mercury Retrograde expert ROBERT WILKINSON from his Aquarius Papers:
“This one actually can help us repair something, or reconstruct something so that we can reverse the energy and start anew with a new ‘perfect form’ in early October…”
“We can get a new look at ideas, ways we’re communicating and understanding what others are communicating to us, and get new insights into all things ruled by Libra, such as relationships, opportunities, pleasing ideas and ideals, and our sense of ‘equalness’…”
“For example, we may get new insights or understanding about someone who used to be a personal or business partner, or someone we thought was our equal at a prior point in our lives.
“Some will remember things that were out of balance a long time ago, or even why an interaction had the archetypal influence it did on our lives.
“And of course, it should be a good time to do inner ‘repair work.’ We can also get insights into past relational unfairness or imbalances and find joy in repairing any inner damage that may have been done then…”
“Consider the next 3 weeks as an opening of new ideas and ideals, repairing of old relationships or perspectives about what happened in a prior time of life.
“This time will bring interesting insights through looking back or within about prior interactions, misunderstandings, or miscommunications, and why certain things came down the way they did in relationships in our past…”
“Keep it balanced, joyous, be willing to see how you may have repressed some genuine and powerful parts of yourself…”
“This one allows us to take a look back at how we’re using Libra energy in our lives, see who our equals truly are, open to a different balance in our life activities, and repair old damage while understanding how things in the past served as ‘construction materials’ for where we’re at right now…”
“For all of us, during the next several weeks the future that’s already rolling forward will slow a little so we can get a new look at crucial elements of the process we cannot afford to ignore…”
“This will be another important retrograde, where the past will be reviewed to see what we can and cannot bring with us into the future in early October.
“It will help us rehearse or do the research we need to get ready to spring forward in late October, clear about what we know, what we need to know, and what must happen if we are to move forward in our lives.
“Renewals, returns, reconnections, reunions, and rebeginnings are promised by this retrograde.”

This. This absolutely hits almost every aspect in Life I’m dealing with rrrrright now! Didn’t had the courage to dig into the important elements of this retrograde, just because I feel everything so intensely at the moment. But again: great summary and beautiful words to marinade in the next couple of weeks. And on point again….
Much Love and Thanks!

Wow.I am so feeling this energy.Thanks for
the affirmation to move forward with owning how a certain situation has made me feel, not to change anybody but to set my boundaries. We teach people how to treat us
