MERCURY RETROGRADE
Posted on December 31, 2022
Happy New Year everyone. Let’s face it – 2022 was the strangest year….I find myself at a loss of words to describe IT – The imagery I have for 2022 was a year where everything solid became changed, became liquid, hidden became transparent, impossible became possible, and darkness was exposed, An extreme split which was once not that noticeable, now there is no doubt has happened within the attitudes of humanity.
Rather than recap the circus we’ve left behind, the new cycle will demand we keep things simple, practical, logical and functional. No more phantasmagorical scenarios, delusions or projecting hopeful dreams onto heroes, the time is now to hold the proper power in your own hands. I see it as a time of constructing a new Crystal of Identity, for ourselves and for Earth.
Circumventing and replacing that which has worn its welcome will be the theme of 2023.
With Mercury Retrograde conjoin Venus exact at 24* conjoin Pluto at 27* Capricorn this is where we begin in 2023.
Mercury asks for a review of our past patterns throughout our lifetime, (and review global power structures) then re-design a new way. The Venus conjoin is about our basic self worth, all of us, and tune into our inner treasure, our external expression of it, how we move through the world with our hearts and command respect, self govern and organize our lives step by step to reflect that worth. Venus in Capricorn captures the essence of organizing our priorities to build a higher vision of status or personal expectations for ourselves. It also projects that expectation upon our world in every area.
This is no easy task, as you can imagine, if we are going to exercise a Pluto purge on our false self, programmed infrastructure, a meticulous re-modeling within every corner of our inner world which has become accustom to shabby messages must be checked.
Our bodies and inner workings have been carefully made with divine symbols, sacred pictures, concepts, music and beautiful gems and of course roadways of crystal structures creating the latticework of memory bodies of our true home.
If we just reject daily objects, conversations, stimuli which continue to re-enforce the false structures and seek out instead your true order within, in a years’ time, you have aligned yourself with glowing matrices. These focuses within your body and emotions support the Higher Self’s truth. Somehow, our outer environment and activities will begin to glow with the real life. Some are so close to this already, and some never deviated much from their original design.
Pluto’s conjunction tends to magnify its impact, replicating its ability to purge, tear down and resurrect parts of ourselves. It inspires the very same within all humanity in 2023, to implement a universal blueprint replicated automatically through many activities on earth.
Imagine one grand cosmic agenda from the Etheric Level, prism into millions of smaller blueprints all designed as solutions and replacements for old outworn systems. These Blueprints come from the Etheric Schoolrooms, advised and guided by Divine Beings who have already walked this Earth. Pluto in Capricorn on the Ascendant conjoin Venus, and conjoin Mercury retro inspires the state of mind to value and treasure people, This Venus increases consideration for their circumstances, yet preserving and growing healthy functional environments while working on the unhealthy problems with a new system which is logical, accurate and ensures supreme functionality. .
Personally, it’s the transformation of your personal identity, your self image. Taking yourself seriously. This seemingly small Mercury retro transit occurring just days before 2023, is not to be brushed aside, as this IS THE KEY to your success in 2023.
Venus conjoin Ascendant – I value myself, my Higher Self’s Guidance, and Supreme Presence in full command of my purpose here, above any other situation, and make room for that connection each day. I stay on track with my inner responsibilities.
Mercury Retro on Ascendant – My Mind goes within each day, checks in with my blueprint, my responsibilities for myself first, then all those in concentric rings emanating outwards in my circle of people and duties. I plan, organize, structure, schedule and self direct each day, week month and the year, what I plan to do to build and sustain my own Solar System orbiting around me. I AM the Radiant Sun in the center of my world, balancing all aspects of myself, targeting the weak places and focusing upon strengthening those points throughout my 2023 in whatever way I find necessary.
At the time Mercury turns retro, these three planets conjoin the Ascendant.
The Ascendant is our conscience, our higher voice which transmits guidance insights, suggestions to our outer mind if we are open.
With the combination of the Mars retrograde in Gemini from last August up through 2023 March, and now this Mercury retro conjoin the Ascendant for the moment Mercury turned retrograde we have a double theme (Mars in Gemini and Mercury in Capricorn retro) revealing our higher selves interfacing with our everyday decisions in a much more clearer and enhanced mature ways of looking at things in our lives. We’re gaining insights, direction with how we handle situations and how to handle our conflicts. It’s the next process of waking up (and growing up). The Ascendant also represents our personal life, body, our physical functioning and personal approach to our existence.
The Ascendant acts like a colored glass (in this case the glass color is Capricorn themes) what feels natural to be and do, engage in and care about, how we automatically engage in our world. But it is also the point in the astrology chart where our Higher Self interfaces with our outer mind and speaks to us in some form, whether imagery, dreams, or cognitive concepts and sentences.
The Point
The theme of is this 2023 blueprint is that we are ready to create a new concept of ourselves. It is a micro death to the old self image, the way our thinking habits have run our lives (for example not being conscious of what is running our lives).
Mercury retro helps us become aware of our values since it is conjoining Venus. That conjunction merges our feelings, love, our heart and aspirations to achieve better life situations with Mercury’s ability to strategize how to get there. When Pluto is connected, it will be bigger than us. It extends into expanding our personal self improvement and empowerment in every physical way we can. It assists us in being conscious of how we truly feel about this or that thing.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a place of work, an industry, a community or simply deciding to review and transform our priorities for ourselves, we are going to do it. Maybe we need a course, a coach, a friend. Some have already done this work, but this goes deeper.
If there was a Spiritual Etheric Hierarchical Status that exists, it would be like leveling up and desiring to advance to our next station in our evolution, personally. The Pluto in a positive sense, would represent the Group or Hierarchies- systems we want to climb. And again, the priority is becoming more conscious of that voice reminding us to take note of how we feel and enhance or value, or self worth, rather than repress it. The downside of Pluto in Capricorn conjoin the 2023 ascendant reveals an equal pressure of being captured by an archaic system or some sort of programming that we need to dismantle and cast away so the real can emerge . real power real happiness and hope for the future.
It compels us to care more and believe we can do something about it. Whether personal, and/or community or global. We’ll embark on engaging in a Process.
Mercury retrograde amplifies the influence of Mercury’s message to you each day. Mercury is the messenger of the Gods.
Information coming to you, ideas, things to ponder about yourself and what you are venturing into. It’s perfect this is happening just as we close out 2022 and enter 2023, as symbolic to an end of some condition you’ve been handling and the opening of a new set of plans, demands, responsibilities, and way of life for yourself you must reach. In Capricorn, it’s sobering, yet required to go through, and there’s deep satisfaction with the achievement at the end of 2023 by moving through this Process.
It is a death to the old self and rebirth into a new person, as the Pluto rules death to something and especially Mercury rules the mind. This is our way of navigating through our world, with our minds.
By stepping into this self care moment, a stronger set of values, materializing a new position, or self image in your mind, your life changes over 2023. Capricorn governs over all things calcified, crystallized….it’s on the Ascendant which means we take a look at what’s crystallized in ourselves, keep the best and discard the rest. That’s Pluto’s job there.
From this Mercury retro in Capricorn, to the following Mercury Retro on April 21, 2023 at 15* Taurus we enter a Micro journey to reach that date on our Calendar as a point of reflection. What have we accomplished so far and owned as our new system or blueprint implemented? We’re growing a New Crystal Identity.
Mercury retro in Capricorn also represents status, power and authority. Are you adopting a brand new self image of authority or credibility?
The last piece of advise is Mercury’s ability to provide discovery with information you needed to hear in order to better your life situation. Mercury connected to Pluto presents a story which must be understood. It’s a reveal of some sort, and it’s never easy with Pluto/Mercury conjunctions. Hard news, challenging steps to take, but my experience with these two planets, it’s about exposure of secrets, revealing situations so a correction on your path can be decided upon.
This cycle we’re entering into has begun as early as December 15 2022, leading to a crescendo on December 29. By the 29th, your mind should grasp the new concept of what you could experience for your future with self discipline and walking through the days re-building your self image in a new empowered light.
Now that we have a simplified vision of our personal theme for 2023, what’s fun and challenging is also witnessing how this is multiplied all over the world, in governments, leadership and politics, corporate, agencies and economic restructuring. It is happening. Especially the Pluto/Mercury challenges of digging deep to transform,and allow old oppressive situations and systems die out, replacing them with a new brilliant crystal blueprint.
There will be an attempt to put into place a continuation of the old systems, pretending to be better, new improved. These stagnant systems, re purposing of the corrupt, will try to emerge and create an impostor replacement with a new face, but it’s going to be seen for what it is and something higher is designed to descend into our world Economically, and all other activities we depend upon to live and thrive .
And remember the Mercury retro will inconjunct Mars retro turning direct in January. It will be the most noticeable between January 13 – 21st. Inconjuncts show up as sudden movements into a new mindset, a shift, a global adjustment involving data, numbers, money and figures verified, information, documentation, contracts and conversations made public. It involves decisions made which are bold and serious infrastructures inserted into our world to shift out of the old structures.
It will inspire many documentaries and interviews bringing forth previously hidden situations which impacted the entire world…. it’s a sudden exposure of information which will demand response, demand actions taken. It forces an earthquake in several areas which can no longer conduct business or leadership in this capacity. It’s an adjustment of attitudes via new information which already started as of December 1, when Mercury began to trine Uranus in Taurus (with Mars in Gemini ongoing its intelligent mission.)
Mercury Leaving Retro inconjunct Mars in Gemini Direct
The Mars began enhancing curiosity and the ability to think more logically in stages throughout 2022, yet escalated August 21, 2022 up through March 2023.
Then Mercury trine Uranus instigated some transparency reveal from Dec 1 through the month 2022 when Mercury entered a trine to Uranus in Taurus.
What escalated? A large majority of human beings accelerating in intelligent analysis of what on earth is going on and what have we been sleeping through up to this time period.
Not only this, but Mars inspires assertive action taken… .the Mercury retro conjoin Pluto and Venus inspires self directed action taken to empower and re-direct ourselves. The 1776 Pluto return was the deepest undercurrent of global resurrection towards transformational energies. These have all escalated in only a matter of two or three years, yet tremendously in 2022. In 2023, can you see how it’s time to claim the opportunity to take back Capricorn Power, believe in your spark inside of you, the will to make it….dissolve the old crystalizations of habits of the past and move into a year of victories? Just keep holding that vision, no matter what is energetically thrown at you each day. Start out the day with one of your empowering Affirmations:
I AM claiming my Divine Blueprint, restructuring my day to mirror my Higher Self and Divine Presences’ Design for me and it enhances and harmonizes with every living Divine Soul on Planet Earth. I witness the change and Am Now walking through 2023 empowered and ready to be who I was intended to be.
Here’s to everyone’s victories in 2023! Keep reminding yourself, “The Power Is Within Me To Align To My Highest Potential, And The Divine Real World Desires Me To Succeed!
Below is a very special video which I happened to watch live from Karnak to Montana, Winter Solstice December 21, at 7 pm Mountain time. It was absolutely incredible. Please go to the 30 minute point as the entire buildup to the moment the Sun Crests the Archway is not necessary to watch. It’s worth the watch to the end. Talk about a perfect way to close the year and move into our Magical 2023.
