Andrew Smith – Agent EI
I am sure that you are eagerly looking forward to reading all the cautions
about signing documents; losing keys; communication mishaps and delays;
and technology getting even with us by frustrating and confusing us even
more than it does on any given ‘normal’ day as Mercury prepares for the
second of his three retrogrades in 2013 commencing on the 26th June and
ending on the 20th
July!!
But is the purpose of this cycle really to
frustrate and annoy us? Is it really all
about negative things happening? If so,
are the increase challenges during a
Mercury Retrograde cycle to do with
Mercury itself or the retrograde
phenomena. If it is to do with the latter,
then why don’t astrologers write more
frequently about the retrograde cycles

of the other planets in our solar system,
especially given the regularity to which
planets ‘reverse’. Pluto, for example,
spends up to 44% of the year
retrograde, so surely the internalisation
of your ability to transmutate is as
important as the internalisation of
thought?
Maybe our collective awareness of
Mercury’s inward sojourn has somethingto do with its ‘personal
correspondences’ as opposed to Pluto’s
‘transpersonal’ nature? Perhaps it is Mercury’s media and communications
correlations that we notice it more? Maybe it is because it is the third least
frequent planet to retrograde, after Venus and Mars and therefore its
impact is more pronounced? Maybe it is because it is the second fastest
travelling planet that astrologers use after the Moon, therefore its
correspondences are more noted? Who know? The one thing is clear
though, the silly season is upon us!
Rather than focusing on events that could happen to you, I would like to
explain what is actually taking place in consciousness during a retrograde
period, so that you can understand what process is invoked during a
Mercury Retrograde cycle. Unlike my other articles, this narrative is devoid
of creative interpretation and is largely technical in nature.
The Mercurial Planetary Archetype
The Mercurial planetary archetype symbolises all the facets of life
experience that enables you to communicate, process, receive and
assimilate information, as seen in the bubble map below (figure 2). It
reflects a naturally proactive busy-ness and therefore symbolically
indicates the manner in which you rationally think and exchange
information with the world around you, so you can make sense of the
world!
Figure 2 Mercury Archetype
All modes of communication fall under the symbolism of Mercury; not just
verbal discourse, but non-verbal signs and significations as well. The
essence of Mercury, however, resides not in the particular language system
but rather in the impulse to communicate, through whatever method. For
this reason, Mercury also reflects the learning of technique (a sort of
language system), through which skills may be expressed (a form of
communication). An example might be a carpenter who has mastered the
“language” of carpentry: using various tools (its alphabet) he expresses
himself (communicates) through the making of a table (his statement;
discourse). His orderly, logical approach, based upon learned skills,
techniques and the careful observation of data (e.g., measurement of
width, height, volume of wood, etc.), also involves the essential MercurySite Search..

principle of assessing data (measurements and assessments gained
through the handling of materials) and expressing ideas (his design or
blueprint).
The placement of Mercury in your birth chart indicates the particular style
of communication in which you excel and through which you experience
your greatest proficiency in communicating. It reveals how you think,
process, assess, acknowledge, learn, speak, write and study. How and
what you perceive is l inked to the mode and element in which Mercury is
placed, so too the way in which you filter the information collected from
the outer world. Mercury plays a big role in what we call interesting and itdescribes the extent in which we are able to assimilate information and
learn.
By and large we tend to view Mercury in terms of its fast orbital speed –
quick, sharp and incisive. However this is not strictly speaking true. There
are times wherein our thought process is more reflective and internal and
there are those who are born without a strong desire to externalise their
thought process, preferring to listen to their vibrant inner voice.
Mercury Retrograde Cycle
The term retrograde essentially means backwards, or inwards and
therefore during such a period of time our thought process is naturally
slowed, internalised and becomes more reflective, a natural contradiction
to the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life. Life coaches and
psychologists tend to encourage their clients to take a reflective break
every couple of hours, so that the mind and concentration can remain sharp
as it would appear to be impossible to keep going without an occasional
pause.
Aside from our own individual inner clock that indicates when we should
take time off , there is also a generic time frame where there the Mind of
the Solar System also needs to rest or ‘pause’. This arises three times a
year, as Mercury retrogrades. The replenishment that naturally takes place
when anyone takes time for themselves arises when Mercury re-joins the
Sun and fuses with the Light Source at the mid-point of the retrograde
cycle. The fusion of these two planetary archetypes symbolises thereplenishment, renewal and the ultimate re-birthing of Mind, which is really
what is at the heart of this cycle.
Mercury’s reverse motion is part of a cyclical continuum of retrogradations
that take place every 116 days or so, largely due to the fact that Mercury is
never too far away from the Sun and therefore ‘dances’ frequently around
our Life Sustainer. Alternating in intervals between two different types of
conjunction of 6 and 10 weeks respectively, Mercury makes his greatest
elongation above the horizon in the Western evening sky about a week
before turning retrograde. As he disappears into the beams of the Sun,
disappearing from view, Mercury eventually passes over the face of the
Sun (or at very least returns to the same zodiacal degree of the Sun)
synergising with it as it forms an inferior conjunction. Mercury then moves
ahead of the Sun and eventually makes his first visual appearance (heliacal
rising) in the Eastern morning sky. This is followed by another turn of
direction (this time direct), and as his apparent velocity matches that of
the Sun some days after this turning Mercury is once again at his furthest
distance from the Sun. This is when he appears at his highest point above
the horizon in the morning skies.

Mercury retrograde in Cancer June-July 2013
The retrograde period commences in the afternoon of the 26th June and
lasts until the early evening of the 20th July (local time in Dublin), but
there is a l e a d i n and l e a d o u t time that extends the process from the 9th
June through to the 3rdAugust. The pre-shadow phase, which is the
time prior to the retrograde wherein Mercury passes the degree of its direct
station, is a time of increasing reflection and one when creative and right
brained transformation techniques are heightened (images, dance, writing,
music and other divinatory/ intuitive processes). As Mercury makes its
greatest elongation in the western sky on the 12st June, it gives us
breathing space to really see what thought is singularly driving our internal
process. Remember that thought is at the root of all action, so this date is
a powerful one to really understand whether the thoughts that are fueling
our reality are really ours, or stem from some external factor (conditioning,
fear, media etc.)
As the 12th June passes, the Mind becomes increasingly reflective heading
towards the Mercury storm! The storm periods happen just around the time
that Mercury turns direction, (commencing when it is moving less than 40′
(minutes of arc) per day). This is the time when astrologers traditionally
suggest to clients NOT to sign anything, since there is virtually no motion
in the process of trading. However in terms of spiritual process, this is a
phenomenal time to really reflect and meditate, as your consciousness is
more likely to be quieter and more receptive to the inner voice.
This commences on the summer’s solstice, the 21st June and last up until
the 30th June, as Mercury slows to a crawl then appears to stand still on
the 26th June before starting moving “backwards” very slowly until the 30th
June, when he is increasingly speeding up as he heads towards his eagerly
anticipated coupling with the Sun, on the 9th July.
The celestial fertilisation of the Divine Mind with the One Source takes
place on the 9th July, and this is a time appropriate for the insemination of
any thought that you want to fuel your life for the next several months
(until the October/ November Retrogradation). This can be done by
consciously committing your images and ideas to paper and/or taking the
first step in manifesting a project.
From the 1st July through to the 16th July Mercury, whilst still retrograde is
moving at something approaching its normal speed, but in the wrong
direction. This is a time to really put energy and time into the development
of the commitment you have made on the 9th July. By the 16th July, we
move into a pre-direct storm, as Mercury starts to slow again, as it
approaches the time when it changes direction. This turning takes place on
the 20th July and the sensitive climate lasts until the 25th July. We are in aSite Search..Like

“Yang” time now, and this is all about the dissemination of the ideas that
you have seeded on the 9th
July. As Mercury’s approaches its greatest
elongation in the eastern morning sky on the 30th
July, you are in a strong
time frame to delineating a plan of action, make concrete and conclusive
decisions, signs papers, advertising, act upon your germinated thoughts
etc. The task during the post-shadow period, from the 25th
July is to “get
it out there” by the end of this process on the 3rd
August.

phase. It’s great to see someone else writing and posting about
this. I wish more of the world would pay attention to MR and
Moon Void of Course as well. I think there would be a whole lot
more understanding of how we do things, if people would just
open their minds to the possibilities of these cycles.
