The Coming Mercury Transit & Retrograde in Pisces
Plus, Three Squares to Transiting Mars
Illnesses related to Bad Weather, and Delays Ahead
By Theodore W.; judicial astrologer.S
For those who enjoy looking ahead and following the world transits - I suggest taking a look at the coming ingress of MERCURY in the constellation Pisces, and Mercury's long retrograde in the month of March 2006.
On Friday, February 10, 2006, MERCURY will enter Pisces quietly and transit direct through Pisces from 0 to 26-degrees during February. After March 2, 2006, Mercury will retrograde at 26-Pisces, and turn direct 23-days later at 13-Pisces.
One of the special notes about MERCURY are the squares to transiting MARS that take place in February, March, and April 2006:
There can be mental irritation with this Mercury/Mars square that influence heated discussions, fights, sarcastic attitudes, and anger. The aspect takes the form of strong mental irritations that have a very hard time dealing with, or communicating emotional feelings. This leads to misunderstandings, and is not a good time to gain agreement, or to seek help with business or personal projects with many people. Occupational accidents can occur, along with environmental & chemical accidents. Also, automobile accidents are more common as well as accidents around firearms, sharp tools, etc., Environmental noise is more common during these transits as are diseases that are infectious. The quality of rays between MERCURY/MARS is irritation, and many of these pitched battles will take place in public - epecially in crowds, in public places. Travel is not advised during February to the end of June, overall. Trouble on the high seas, on the ground, and into the air during March and April 2006 with the strong retrogression effect on MERCURY. Accidents abound, with loss of lives, and threats to the environment from poor judgements of others. Moreover, in March, MERCURY reaches inferior conjunction with the Sun on March 10, and then MERCURY turns South in Declination on March 11 - while retrograde. This signals a warning to restrict major projects, travel, etc., until at least late April, and early May for those who must travel. The major squares between MERCURY and MARS reveal a need to reconsider decisions, to be patient, and to think before speaking, and acting due to the extreme irritating nature of these square aspects.
The first MERCURY-MARS square is fixed, and happens the week of Feb. 5-10. This square is strong w/ the fast motion of MARS in the late degrees of Taurus as MERCURY transits the late degrees of Aquarius.
However, the time from Mercury's ingress into Pisces (Feb. 10) to its first long day of retrograde (March 3) is an excellent time to complete projects, and get long-standing issues resolved before the month of March starts. Building up resistance to colds for those in the northern hemisphere is important during this time due to the coming public sicknesses as signalled by Mercury's retrograde in Pisces. Using the time from Feb. 10 to March 2 to complete projects, or, to prepare for the late spring, and summer months in the northern hemisphere will turn out well if the degrees between 0-13 degrees Pisces is used during February 10 to February 17. This is only one week - but those who read this post early enough (Feb. 4-5) will be able to have another five (5) days to get things completed with minimal effort.
After February 17 - matters will proceed, but anything that is related to projects in March will have to be re-done. Suggest signing any documents in February - not in March - and to finish up projects, while planning for the coming change in the transiting Lunar Nodes from cardinal - ARIES/LIBRA to mutable signs of PISCES/VIRGO in late June 2006 that remain mutable to December 2007 before entering the fixed quality signs of Aquarius-Leo.
The second Mercury-Mars square is mutable, and happens the week of March 19 to March 25. This takes place with MERCURY, retrograde in Pisces, and MARS, direct in Gemini. A strong transit square - it signals sicknesses, among the problems listed above between Mercury & Mars. Take care during this transit in mid-March 2006 as it "releases" strong energy and influences the public at large. Medical problems abound, and illness is widespread. Severe weather events with Mars square to Uranus in Pisces as well. Some who are ill at this time in March will have a long recovery to go through in April & May 2006.
The third MERCURY-MARS square is also mutable, and takes place April 9 to April 16 - though the orb is wider - with MERCURY direct now in late Pisces, and MARS in late Gemini - it is an "extension" of the previous square pairing in mid-March. The situations that were not resolved during the retrograde of MERCURY in March will be then forced to resolve at this time.
The fourth MERCURY-MARS square is cardinal - with MERCURY in early Aries and MARS in early Cancer - this takes place the week of April 16 to April 22. This cardinal pairing is strong as well and reveals the decisions not resolved - though forced - by the third square pairing - initiates a series of problems that will continue into the months of May - ending there for some, and through MARS - into June through early September 2006 - ending there for others. This translates into matters such as legal actions, medical malpractice suits, international agreements, and business matters that were not resolved due to the stubborn qualities of MARS coming out of a nearly seven-month transit of the constellation Taurus.
Astrological Advice: Avoid these MERCURY-MARS squares by not getting involved in disputes that are silly, or disputes where one or more of the parties seek to just cause problems because of immaturity, hate, greed, laziness, and ignorance. The square quality is strong due to the involvement of MERCURY and stubborn because of the quality of MARS - therefore - low profile is best until the end of June 2006. This is when the transiting Lunar Nodes change quality from cardinal to mutable with the entry of the Dragon's Head into Pisces and the Dragon's Tail into Virgo on 22 June 2006 - starting a new era for the world that lasts to about December 2007.
