Mercury Retrograde Nov-Dec 2011
Mercury Rx Times Nov-Dec
ScopesNov 5, 2011 to Jan 1, 2012 is the Mercury alert zone with Nov 24, 2011 to Dec 13, 2011 the actual time of retrograde motion. (see times below) NOTE: From our perspective, it appears that the planet of communication stops dead in the water, turns around, and goes backwards. Not so, but it sure looks like it from where we’re standing.
This is a time of two steps forward and one step back. It can be frustrating in regards to programming, flights, bookings, letters, documents and communiqué of all kinds if we try to rush. Electronics can be tricky.
The best approach is to discover what irks us (what we tolerate) and either get rid of it or find a way to see it in a different light. Retrograde Mercury says, rethink, retreat, regroup, reconsider, reorganise, redress. Hints for individual signs are below.
The main gist of Mercury Rx in Sagittarius is the exploration of beliefs, traditions, cultural paradigms and personal 'norms' that may be keeping us from becoming our best Self. Question everything. This is your time to rethink. Do it!
Namaste, Kim

RAM: Commitments and travel plans can go haywire leaving you wondering why you wanted to go anywhere in the first place. Deep breaths. Take your time and allow for wiggle room on either side of your trip, be it literal or flights of fancy. All is well when you let it be. The point is to take time out to reconsider your world view!
AUROCHS: Mercury Rx in your house of shared resources has you reconsidering any joint financial arrangements, both income and debt. As you sift through the confusion, you’ll have a chance to organise this aspect of your life in a new way. Restructure the boundaries to your liking.
TWINS: Communication with partner, business and personal, goes down the rabbit hole – muddle and/or adventures could be fun! However, it's not the best time to come to any conclusions based on statements delivered or received. Use your gut feelings to make all choices. Practice compassion. Ask what you believe about partnerships. Is that helpful?
COBRA: Mercury Rx through your 6th house says the area to reconsider during this period is your lifestyle. Is it really what you want, or are you there because of circumstances ‘beyond your control?’ Take stock of your day-to-day—diet, exercise, healthy care, comfort zone and routine. What would you change, if you could? Start with what you believe about your body!
LION: Creative self-expression and children of the mind, heart and body give you pause. This is a time to go to cruise control on the romantic realm and practice the art of allowing. Your job here is to play, recreate and relax. As you get lost in a novel, film, sport or sandbox, consider where you can expand your beliefs and live more in the now. The goal is to drop judgment and experience life in the red hot moment.
CERES: Thoughts turn to home and family now with conversations buzzing around schedules, remodelling, relocating and deep cleaning. This is all symbolic of a deeper strata soul experience. Give yourself enough ‘me’ time to appreciate the inner growth and development. Ask what family means to you. Is there anything you believe that could be limiting your experience of others? Your connections? Love?
BALENCIA: The Mercury Rx period could be a little nuts when it comes to the written or spoken word. You say one thing and they hear another. Emails, sans body language, get misconstrued. Don’t even think about text msg. Use this time to reflect, rethink, journal and day dream. Excellent for completing manuscripts or projects that were put on the back burner.
SCORPION: Ask yourself what pleases you and you alone. This is where your exploration begins! Core values change over time but we often forget to upgrade them. Use this Mercury Rx to get in touch with what really gives you a sense of peace and happiness, then let go of the outmoded trends and actions. Awareness is the first step. It will lead to skill and talent development that is more authentic than you ever though possible.
ARCHER: Mercury in the Rx zone for the duration of your 'birthday month' puts the focus on four key areas of life: home, Work, Self and relationship. The goal is to reflect on what you believe about what you do, where you do it, whom you do it with and how doing it makes you feel. Don't stress. This doesn't have to bog you down. Just set an intention to notice the things you like about your life and smile. If you find anything you don't like, ask if it has to do with something you believe. Do this and your limiting beliefs are going, going, gone.
SEA-GOAT: This is a good time to rethink your goals and all the like-minded friends, associates and connections that you related to on a regular basis (online or off). Are you authentically aligned or do you adjust yourself to fit in with them? If you aren't sure, notice how your feel around each group. Check your body. Is it relaxed? Naturally interested? Stress free? Most of all, is your smile genuine? Be with those who truly support your wishes for the future. Period.
WATER-BEARER: Mercury retrograde in the house of secrets and dreams may mean a confidence must be kept, even if you are busting to tell. Also this is a time of deep penetration into the depths of your soul. Whatever is going on in the 'outer world' take time to introspect. Meditate, be in the wild, record your dreams, reflect on themes of compassion, service and respect for all life. Most of all, allow yourself to immerse in whatever lights you up. Surrender to it.
FISHES: Mercury Rx through your house of mission and profession says, If you are bored in your current career path, these next three weeks will drive that thought home.. Rather than grin and bear a situation you aren't happy in, consider this a sign from the universe to switch tracks. There are many options out there, with many opportunities. Be brave, open and exploring! Ask what it is you really want to do and what you might believe about yourself that keeps you from it.
