Every Mercury retrograde helps us discover one idea in our minds, that just won’t let us go. To have a solar eclipse and a Mercury retro just within a few weeks of each other, could be confusing. The solar eclipse above, is about empowerment and personal development.
The Mercury retrogrades’ guidance would be something specific, a detail or something you might want to write, paperwork you need to file and organize, or write, or launch, or a schedule you would want to create. It might be finding a coach, or reading a special book, being inspired to take a class or hold that important meeting or interview.
This May 10, we will have a Mercury Retro in Gemini for example, and it is all about guiding us intellectually. Our intellectual brain/mind logistics, learning part of us will want to do something with our smarts, or apply something of our ideas, in a new way – applying what you know, and really getting your brain working.
Because this Mercury in Gemini happens to be in a square to Moon in Virgo, which tends to amplify being sick and tired of the way something has been in your life. So the Mercury guides you by plopping a thought, impulse or idea to go do something, in order to solve the irritating situation once and for all.
You can see how a Mercury retro could help us by inspiring us to get a handle on something now, that is a specific thing, where the solar eclipse is a much bigger concept for your own empowerment in general.
