2010 Scorpio Period of Confusion
Mercury moves into retrograde motion three times a year as a rule, for about three weeks each time. This year sees Merc travelling in reverse four times, which is unusual. The retro phase marks a time of confusion and misunderstandings, which can affect arrangements, travel, transport, appliances, machinery and communications. The breakdowns that occur are a function of neglect, inattention, simple misunderstandings or component failure. They will often bring to the fore the very contingency we should have planned for?and didn't. During the retro period, and even for a week or two before and after, in the Mercury Shadow, we need to be aware of this tendency. It is best to put off major decisions, or signing crucial documents and agreements. It is not exactly wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is likely they will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual. Make sure you pay attention to the small print!
Mercury's first retro cycle begins on Boxing Day, December 26th, 2009, in Capricorn, the Sea-Goat. Business projects (especially sales), contacts with siblings, correspondence, educational meetings, neighbourhood activities, errands, or travel are thrown into disarray, thanks to the failure of some to note the details carefully in a diary or notebook?or just the bad weather. Information and ideas are flowing, but gossips will spread rumours, so watch what you say and who you say it to. Cars and other vehicles, computers, phones or mechanical and electrical equipment tend to play up, perhaps from overload! Getting out and about will be the key to gaining the control you seek, but with Mars and Merc in reverse, expect obstacles to appear at every turn. This can bring figures from the past into view, possibly marking the start of a reborn romance. The Divine Messenger turns direct again on January 15, at the Capricorn New Moon, which is conjunct the benefic planet Venus, so you might find love at the local. It's a good day to start over, but remember that the shadow phase lasts until Feb 4.
Mercury's second reverse motion cycle begins in Scorpio, the sign of the Bull, on April 18th. You can expect some discussions with lawyers and concern with legal matters. Partners will be picky, so be sure to get every detail very clear in your mind and check the fine print. Debates, communications with partners, contract negotiations, and joint ventures of any kind can see confusion unless you have everything marked out for all to see. The dates and times of consultations should be carefully checked. Mercury moves forward on May 11th, with the shadow lasting till May 29.
Mercury's third retro cycle begins in Virgo on August 20th. Mars and Venus are conjunct in Libra on this day, so the urge to express passionate feelings is strong, especially in a concealed romance, or secret attraction. Unfortunately, the Moon is square this conjunction so there are likely to be some serious misunderstandings, if you are not careful. Issues with communication with friends and associates may delay trips, or interfere with the realisation of your cherished dreams. Travel with children, especially children who are not biologically yours but for whom you have responsibility, is particularly subject to problems. Be sure that all your arrangements are clear and that everyone knows where the tickets are. Disruption can occur in clubs and associations, as activities such as fund raising, membership drives, or newsletters can suffer crossed wires. Mercury moves forward on September 12th, and Pluto moves forward on the 14th, so the pressure for control should begin to ease. Remember, the Mercury shadow phase lasts till Sep 27.
Mercury's fourth and final retro phase begins on December 10, 2010, in Capricorn again. A lot of issues from the past have emerged during the past twelve months, concerning your hopes and dreams and relationships with friends and associates, and now is the time to finalise them. Be sure to make your position clear, lest some misunderstanding get you in deeper water than you'd like. Plan travel well in advance, and be sure to have the agendas confirmed in writing. Don't leave things till the last minute, especially Christmas and New Year arrangements. Mercury returns to direct motion in Sagittarius on December 30th, with the shadow phase dogging your footsteps until January 18th. Have a cool Yule!
2010 Scorpio Turning Point
Your Full Moon comes at Wesak, the annual celebration of the Buddha, this year on May 27. Wesak is named for the legendary convergence of the Buddha, the Christ and other Masters at Wesak in the Himalayas, during the Buddha Moon each year in May. This spiritual flame is celebrated throughout the world, including via pilgrimages to the Himalayan valley. For the Scorpion who may have a more down-to-earth viewpoint, we can say that this Moon is associated with a beautiful aspect to fortunate Jupiter and to surprising Uranus, the cosmic force of originality and disruptive movement, just before Uranus makes his move into dynamic Aries, the sign on the cusp of your sixth house of work and health?after seven years in intuitive Pisces.
This is therefore a pretty significant event. The Moon in Scorpio is always a powerful stimulant, and with the Moon opposing the Sun and at the same time dancing with Jupiter, this is a fortunate time for you. Some of your fondest wishes may come true, and emotional satisfaction is there for the taking. You'll have no trouble attracting love and affection, as the sphere of your personal influence grows with minimal effort on your part. If you have been looking for a position of leadership, this is the time to run with the ball. Others will be surprisingly well-disposed toward you now, but do not take your partner or spouse for granted, as the Full Moon always places pressure on close relationships.
Your New Moon is on November 6. Jupiter again receives a beneficial aspect from the Moon, so the general effect is good; although Mercury is under pressure in your Sign, which can see some delusion on your part, or deception as to the true issues at stake. Benefits tend to flow from broader societal interests, rather than personal ones; so it's a good time to discuss hopes and aspirations, join organizations, and expand your circle of friends. Success is indicated if you are involved with scientific and technical projects, computers, travel by air, international finances, or sociological issues. Make sure the situation is quite clear in your mind, as Neptune's influence tends to cloud the issues.
2010 Scorpio Lunar Life
Eclipses of both the Sun and the Moon often indicate the end of a cycle, or a significant change in the direction or pattern of the affairs governed by the house in which the eclipse falls. Eclipses of the Sun affect work, direction and relations with people in authority. Eclipses of the Moon affect matters connected with home, family and emotions as well as relations with women and children, and with the public at large. Both may affect your health.
The year begins with Lunar Eclipse at the Full Moon in emotional Cancer on Dec 31, New Year's Eve 2009, waving an emotional but delightfully cultured goodbye to a year which for many of us has been little more than a disaster. The passionate Scorpion may be inclined towards a public display of feeling, with retro Mars rising in Leo at the time of the eclipse. Don't be too impulsive, or jump to conclusions, especially regarding travel, connections with foreigners, religion, or putting your ideas out there, as these could be the wrong ones. Mercury is retro too, opposing the Moon, so the travelling Scorpion is liable to experience troubles and problems, especially with transportation. Vivid dreams, even visions for some, are likely thanks to difficult aspects to Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter, but no matter how emotional you feel, resist making an ill-considered change in religion—or you'll be subject to criticism, even censure. Misunderstandings can lead to trouble up until the Solar Eclipse of January 15, when retro Mercury turns direct again.
An annular Solar Eclipse comes with the New Moon in Capricorn on January 15th, when the light is partly blocked, so the eclipse is widely visible, though not in the US, Western Europe, or Australia, sadly. Still, your mental processes will be energized and keen to make a break with past knowledge, discovering new realms in the process. Communication is the key, as you get busy planning projects, attending meetings, and taking short trips. Buying a computer, new car, or communications equipment, or upgrading your present systems may well be on your agenda. Social activities with siblings and neighbours are in the wind and you may find yourself assuming leadership in community affairs. Be more assertive in self-expression, but avoid the delusion that your own ideas and opinions are the only ones worth listening to. It is in your best interests to turn each situation into a positive learning experience. Remember, you need to deal with difficulties in these areas, because the eclipse cycle won't let you get away with it; the cosmic spotlight is focused firmly on this zone all year. It really is time for a new beginning, so that you can take advantage of a delightfully exotic, cultured and possibly exquisitely spiritual vibration of the year, once fortunate Jupiter enters Pisces on Jan 18. Romantic inclinations can soon be realised. Home will be where the heart is, as Venus enters Aquarius on the cusp of your fourth house that same day, but some conflict arises between your career goals and your family feelings.
A Lunar Eclipse comes with the Full Moon in Capricorn on June 26th, stimulating or finalising a change in your local situation, or with brethren or neighbours. The movement of the eclipse cycle has been focusing heavily on travel, foreign affairs, education, spiritual awareness, neighbourhood affairs and relationships this year, ever since the Lunar Eclipse in creative Cancer on New Year's Eve. Even your in-laws are affected, if you have any. Tread carefully this month in these areas, for on the day of the eclipse, Mercury and Jupiter are under severe pressure. Tardiness or mechanical failure can be the cause of frustration in travel. The truth is that, in spite of whatever snags develop, much can actually be accomplished, especially if you avoid jumping to conclusions, acting with too much haste, or believing you already know the answers. You had better prepare for a big transformation in your mode of communicating, expressing and indeed convincing others of the value of your ideas this month, leading up to the Solar Eclipse which has more positive aspects for communication.
A Solar Eclipse comes with the New Moon in Cancer on July 11th. Good news should come regarding work or health, but routines will be subject to change or a cyclical ending, especially given that Jupiter is preparing to turn retrograde in fiery Aries on July 23rd. New interests or activities will stimulate you to take action to attain your personal goals. Career income should improve, or you'll want to do something about it. Friendships, associations and memberships
A Lunar Eclipse comes with the Full Moon in Gemini on December 21st, the Solstice, awakening an unexpected outburst or upset over money, inheritance, or financial matters, for the eclipse is square to disruptive Uranus. Children and love interests are unpredictable now. Mercury and Jupiter are both under pressure, just as they were at the Solar Eclipse in June, so this should bring matters that have been bubbling beneath the surface to a very visible head. Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius, the sign on your second house of personal finances, sparking confusion in what you really value. Resist the urge to sign on the dotted line, especially for major contracts, or travel arrangements, until after the end of the month. Prepare yourself for a power struggle with family members and neighbours or local figures, who are likely to get the wrong end of the stick, or claim that you have!
