This Mercury retrograde starts 12:31 pm PST Jan 28 (Jan 29 in Pakistan and points east) and ends 6:57 pm PST Feb 18 (Feb 19 east of Greenland). This retrograde moves from 24 degrees Aquarius back to 9 Aquarius, with the inferior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun occurring at 18 degrees Aquarius at 10:19 am PST just before the Solar Eclipse on Feb 6-7.
"All retrogrades show us that sometimes it is more important to be inwardly oriented than outer-directed. These are times when our previous activities "echo back" information about what we've already experienced during a planetary direct motion phase. When the inner planets are retrograde, our personal life is most subject to review, reflection, re-doing or getting a new angle on those affairs. When the outer planets are retrograde, we get the same process of review but it impacts our place in the larger scheme of things, whether social, cultural, or transpersonal-global."

When retrograde, Mercury, the "Guide of Souls," challenges us to cultivate our personal understanding of our "fellowship with the Eternal," explore our deeper issues and useful but overlooked details in what's being discussed or asserted, take an unusual view, and allow ourselves to be led by the future implications of what's happening. It’s a time when we truly get a new look at many things and come to a different understanding of how the various affairs of our inner and outer life are coordinated, or need to be.
We can get different perspectives and insights into prior events, messages, and signals, and can fill in important gaps in our understanding. Sometimes it may seem like it's one step forward, two to the side, one step back, one to the other side, then two steps forward, but often we find that we are offered entirely new and crucial perspectives and knowledge that can help us when it's time to move forward again after the retrograde is past.
In Part 1 we explored some specific qualities of the present Mercury retrograde period. I trust you got your important paperwork in order the past two weeks, since Mercury went RX at 12:31 pm PST January 28. We now enter three week retrograde period to deal with things we've put off, or take care of things from the past. This January-February 2008 Mercury retrograde will give us new understanding about the events of the past four months.
We can again reconsider, reinterpret, and rework Aquarius issues and activities, seeing their significance from new angles of understanding. We got Cancer insights during the Summer 2007 Mercury RX. We got Scorpio insights during the Autumn 2007 Mercury RX. Now we'll get more insights about our friendships, goals, ambitions, ideals, group work, larger vision of how we can contribute to our world, how our love and enthusiams are exteriorizing, and the greatest good for the greatest number.

Twin Soul told me yesterday. it was Mercury Retrograde.
I am ususally very aware of when this three week cycle is happening.
I like to consciously ride the waves of Mercury Retrograde.
I have definitely had some signs of the unique time
when it is best to clean up things from the past then forge ahead.
I have been in a lot of relationship disturbance the past two weeks.
I have visited that Abyss space where I feel I am alone in the world
and have no connections. I do not like that feeling.
I can really lose track of my Soul Purpose,
and Dream Job.
I did a lot of listening this morning.
I want to do some writing out of the notes that I took.
I want to begin by getting clear in my own head about
the dates of Mecury Retrograde.
I look this astrologer. I have read his blog before.
This will give some insights about Mercury Retrograde.
A New Look At Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius in January-February 2008 - What Is It Good For?
by Robert Wilkinson
Over the years many have asked me what Mercury retrograde is good for. We know it's supposedly NOT a good time to sign contracts, make purchases of electronics or major moves or decisions, and we are supposed to hang out with the energies, seeing that things may not be as they appear, and so on. That said, there is much that a Mercury retrograde period is good for, such as traveling, research, and other important things.
I have found that as long as one is flexible, retrograde travel is actually a good thing. So is research, reflection, review, rehearsals, and returns from the past. It's also a great time for reconnecting with old friends, finding people and things thought lost, It's a great time to explore possibilities, as long as no definitive decisions are made and options kept open, since they are usually modified or reversed later on.

More on the Jan-Feb 2008 Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius Eclipse Triggering the Grand Irrationality
by Robert Wilkinson
When Mercury is retrograde in Aquarius it's a good time to re-examine our internal connections, and find what we've lost in the way of ideal visions of a greater way that make us feel like we're contributors to a better world. Take a new look at your internal and external ways of why you do or do not want to be part of a larger group work, and how we can concretize that which feeds our sense of greater purpose through managing collective power.
Many will need to reconsider goals, ambitions, and friendships that are no longer fulfilling, and ways of responding to perceived shared creative vision that are either draining or generating momentum. Through seeing what's being grounded in the way of a new visionary imperative, we can come to mental power and forms of expressing ourselves throughout the rest of the cycle.
Rehearse, research,....
