That's all.īut remember that even though Mercury is direct, it is still in its shadow period or, as I like to call it, its retrograde arc. Mercury retrograde problems are usually not dire and life-altering but they can be very annoying. This is the date that the retrograde is most intense, and if you had something around this degree then you just want to be extra diplomatic when speaking to people, and making sure that you do not do anything impulsively or in haste. The inferior conjunction, which occurs midway through that cycle when Mercury is closest to earth, occurred on Jat t ropical 28° Cancer 28'/sidereal 4 ° Cancer 26' in Pushya nakshatra. Mercury stationed direct on Augat 3:57 AM GMT at tropical 23° Cancer 56'/sidereal (Indian) 29° Gemini 55' in Punarvasu nakshatra (ruled by Jupiter). Mercury stationed retrograde on Jat 11:14 PM GMT at tropical 4° Leo 27'/sidereal (Indian) 10° Cancer 26' in Pushya nakshatra (ruled by Saturn). As some of you have noted Mercury retrograde in July contributed to making this eclipse season one of the more difficult ones I have experienced in a while. This month Mercury and Jupiter finally station direct. Even though August will have some beautiful aspects to look forward too, we are still surrounded by the Saturn-Ketu conjunction which will start to separate in early October. In this case Mars, already debilitated in Cancer, entered 27 degrees, so in terms of Indian astrology the violence of Mars, along with Saturn hitting eclipse degree could be part of what went wrong. Additionally Mars in the sidereal zodiac had entered its gandanta degree on the weekend meaning the last three degrees of water signs. Just a heads up to watch for when planets hit eclipse degrees before or after the eclipse. On August 4th Saturn retrograde came to the solar eclipse degree of January 6 and Mercury, just having gone direct a few days earlier, crossed the eclipse degree of the July 16 lunar eclipse. many times there are events that make an impact like unfortunately attacks, crashes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes etc. I always indicate when the Nodes, and the malefic planets cross the eclipse degree. From an astrological standpoint, please look over my handouts from the 2019 Sensitive Degrees Webinar, and all my postings of eclipses. I have to once again (when will it stop?) send my condolences to all the families and friends of those who were killed and injured in the mass murders in El Paso and Dayton. As I started to write this August newsletter, writing about how Mercury, is direct, eclipse season is over, and Jupiter will go direct on August 11, we were hit with these awful shootings over the weekend.
