The other day i was feeling like it was Mercury Retrograde.
Mercury Retrograde is a Soul inspired
event.
Every ten weeks or so, for about three weeks
we have the opportunity to clean house
and complete things.
I notice many times that various Souls
choose to depart their earthly bodies during
Mercury Retrograde periods.
It can be a very productive time,
when I slow down and doing the natural thing
during this period.
Often mechanical things can break down during
Mercury Retrograde.
I first commented on the feeling a number of days ago
in a blog.

Sun Signs For July 2006
By Carolina Eastwood
Solstice offers reflection on our next creation
The Summer Solstice on June 21 set the stage for the next three months of human experience. In the Western Hemisphere, this is the longest day of the year, and the opposite is true in the Southern Hemisphere, meaning that we have different backgrounds to the same event, yet, for all of humanity, the solstice is a significant turning point. The Latin term “solstice” roughly translates to “sun standing still”. Symbolically, it is a pause in time; a moment to reflect on what we have experienced and learned since last January's Winter Equinox, and a time to look ahead to what we may wish to create in the coming three months. Take a moment to reflect on what you intend to create this summer, ask, what would be the most fruitful and fulfilling use of your time, then hold that vision with delight in your heart.
Sun in Cancer brings time to nurture your beloveds
At the Summer Solstice, the sun entered the sensitive, nurturing, and often psychic, sign of Cancer. Early July is a great time to focus our energies on nurturing home and family. For those of us who do not live in traditional family units, please remember that family can also include your close circle of friends, animals, and beloveds; the key for July is nurturing. On a deeper level, the sign Cancer represents the foundation of our life and being. When a foundation is strong, the structure gives consistent and valuable support for a long time. Taking the time this month to strengthen your foundation on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level is energy well spent to ensure the quality of your future.
Mercury retrograde has us cleaning up our act
On July 4, Mercury, turns retrograde (apparent backwards motion) in Leo, and backs into Cancer until July 28. Because Mercury is the planet symbolizing all forms of communication and ways of connecting to our environment, while it is retrograde, we have the opportunity to complete projects, or deliver communications, that have been on hold. Mercury retrograde helps us to get current, which frees our energy for upcoming new activities. Unfortunately, many of us try to push through the Mercury retrograde to get new ideas or projects launched, often experiencing frustration, because past incompletion has an energetic hold on our productivity. To use this time wisely, clear your desk, clean your closets, tell your friend that thing you have been holding back from them, quit your job, clean out your garage, order that new electronic equipment you have been meaning to buy, review your investments, organize your files, rewrite proposals, renew your health routines, etc. Everything in nature goes through a periodic cleaning-out cycle; humans were meant to clean out also.
Jupiter brings an energetic release of creativity
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, after having been retrograde in Scorpio since March 4, returns to direct motion on July 6. Known in traditional astrological texts as the “planet of good fortune”, Jupiter bestows expansion, but it does so by bringing into form the benefits that have resulted from our past intentions. During July, Jupiter's return to direct motion can be felt as the energetic release of creativity, new ideas, and great opportunities. As Jupiter begins to pick up speed in early August, we find that many of our creative ideas and intentions for expansion can then manifest in our lives.
Full Moon illuminates balance between career and family
On July 10, we have a full moon in Capricorn, opposite the sun in Cancer. While Cancer represents the foundation of our lives, our homes, families, and deepest roots, Capricorn is the larger societal context in which we interact. Capricorn represents our work, or profession, and the contribution we make to our world. The full moon sheds light on the necessary balance that must be reached between the energy we give to home and family and the energy we give to our world in fulfilling of our life purpose. With the complexities of the 21 Century, the current political climate of our nations, and the increasing threat to our environment, many of us are stretched to the limits, yet we must seek a way to restore balance to our daily affairs and to create inner harmony. The full moon suggests that time spent now in philosophical inquiry and spiritual attunement will bring about the inspiration of new innovative ideas and intuitive understanding to help us restore greater balance to our lives.
Sun and new moon in Leo initiates cycle of creative self-expression
On July 22, the sun enters the fire sign, Leo. While Cancer's symbol is the moon, which makes it sensitive, moody, and nurturing, Leo is symbolized by the sun, and its energy is bright, fiery, and expressive. While the sun is in Cancer, we build and strengthen our foundation, and if we are successful in creating a strong foundation, Leo then becomes our platform for creativity. On July 24, we have a new moon in Leo initiating a cycle of creative self- expression in the following four weeks. Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and relationships, forms a favorable triangle with Jupiter and Uranus, bringing a depth of artistic insight, inspiration and innovation. Mercury resumes direct motion on July 28, and we are now ready to move ahead with new, and hopefully inspiring, creative projects.
