Mercury Retrograde Realignment

Mercury Retrograde Realignment

Those Blood Moon eclipse energies are still rippling through us, stirring up any unfinished business and unresolved Karma. Emotions still run high. You may be feeling heavy, agitated, or squirming to escape day-to-day routine. Getting away from reality isn’t really possible, as Mercury now retraces its path, the territory covered since March 1, 2025, when it entered “Shadow” territory, and you are there for the ride!

What has been on your plate since then? Get ready for the Mercury Retrograde Realignment. You may need to look over, do over, or get over whatever came up for you.

WHY DO WE HAVE MERCURY RETROGRADE ANYWAY?

Technically, all planets appear to go backward at some point in their orbit if you are viewing from a stable position. If you are watching a 1000 meter race in a stadium, you’ll see the runners loop around an oval track. From your point of view, they go forward (direct), turn a corner (station), then return toward the start/finish line (retrograde), retracing the same space in your field of vision.

Pisces Party New Moon Feb 27 2025

Yes! The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and the Destiny Path North Node are ALL in Pisces!

Pisces is a touchy-feely sign. Hugs are a form of candy! Emotions run high, and sensitivity is acute. Yet, they need their space, too. With things so crowded in the Pisces pool, so to speak, a Pisces Party can be the best way to keep everyone playing well together.

This is an emotionally rich, the-veil-is-thinner time right now. You can be pulled in so many directions. You need to reset your compass, acknowledge all the many things you are being shown, but just observe without necessarily taking action. Ask for clarity, simplicity, and truth.

Angry Roar Leo Full Moon Feb 12 2025

I debated about how to address the Angry Roar of the Leo Full Moon. In fact, I have been reluctant to speak about astrology lately because it has been so very aligned with the painful deconstruction of the mythos of our country. You don’t need me to tell you things are shocking, stressful, and downright scary. We are well and deep into the ravages of our country’s  Pluto Return.

But here we are, and no matter which school of astrology you follow, you can see the Plutonic energy of Death and Rebirth is fully engaged. Everything is changing now.

Reality Shifts

We have been under the influence of the Sun/Pluto conjunction for days if not weeks. It peaked this morning about 4 am Pacific Time. So, that aspect of the rather oppressive energies with us since before the first of the year hasn’t helped lighten the load.

I’m planning a strategic power nap to help make up for the wind-driven (I live in San Diego) restlessness and surreal “reality” currently unfolding around us.

Gentle Restart – Mara’s Monday Message

Gentle Restart – Mara’s Monday Message

Monday, 1/6/25Take Action Mars retrogrades (appears to move backward) from Hear Me Roar Leo into the Sign of the Crab, Here’s A Hug Cancer. This is a difficult transit because any emotional wound you have can get triggered whenever you attempt to move forward. The old way isn’t necessarily working all that well and you can feel knocked you off your emotional center.

2025 is going to be so different from 2024. There’s no need to rush into it, even if you are feeling that pressure. Your gentle restart gives you a chance to drop your stress levels and remember your core truths.
