Wake Up! Mercury Is At The Door With A Delivery For YOU.
The planet Mercury is a prince, is Bisexual, is Queer, is at the same time a young attractive cis-het-husband stealing cis-Femme, an endless and brilliant scholar and a bastard child. There is no such thing as a bastard child, but Mercury enjoys surprising with language.
Mercury is like the metal mercury itself which in its purest and medicinal form is called Parad in India. Mercury is the being called Budh and they were conceived from an illicit affair between the Moon and the wife of Lord Brihaspati (Jupiter) who’s name is Tara. The Moon is the mind and Jupiter is pure wisdom, so Mercury is the intellect.
Although their birth was an unpleasant surprise for Jupiter, Jupiter adopted Mercury as their own child after seeing how incredibly brilliant the child was as a student.
Mercury is the lord of the signs Gemini and Virgo and is therefore very talented with languages, with learning new subjects and skills and with accounting and written or typed communications, as well as real-world communications of the physical being from one place to another, which we call commuting.
Mercury is currently famous in popular astrology for their noisy and frequent retrograde which is known to be a troubled time for delivering Your messages or getting Yourself from one place to another. However, when You understand the deeper territories presided by Mercury, then You know that Mercury is much more. These territories are the Nakshatras or constellations ruled by Mercury, namely Ashlesha, Jyestha and Revathi.
Without Mercury there is no Moksha. Mercury is that final barrier between this world and the next world, whichever that next world may be. Mercury is the entirety of the plant’s internal organic structure as well as the tree which is our own human nervous system. Mercury is the capacity to alchemize one reality into another one, and that includes visualization and just pure magic.
Mercury brings informative messages both in the form of other people, or in any other form that they see fit. When You pay attention to Mercury’s transits in general, then You learn a lot about the rhythms and reasons for all of the happenings in Your own singular life.
On Sunday, December 8th, Mercury leaves its most recent “retrograde shadow” which is the zone which is marked on one end by the degree point where Mercury will change direction and start going forward again, once having finished its retrograde. On the other end is the degree point at which it turns retrograde. So, this zone is significantly greater in time and breadth than the duration of the retrograde period itself.
For example, this most recent Mercury retrograde zone or “shadow” began at 17º27' of Libra and goes until 3º30' of Scorpio. This is because Mercury first went retrograde on October 31st at 3º30' of Scorpio and then started going forward again at 17º27' of Libra.
However, since Mercury first crossed 17º27' of Libra on October 12th, this means that Mercury’s most recent retrograde zone began on October 12th. Since Mercury will arrive back at 3º30' of Scorpio on December 7th or 8th depending on Your own location, this means that Mercury leaves the retrograde zone on December 8th.
Those follow astrology in their daily lives can learn a lot about the nature of their own life by keeping track and taking count of Mercury’s transits. This is the easiest to do during the retrograde zone. Within the retrograde zone, Mercury crosses each degree point twice or thrice. By looking at the first and last time that Mercury crossed any given degree point within this zone, You will see that the same people or messages appear in Your life on Mercury’s second crossing of that degree point as did on their first crossing of that degree point, or maybe within a few degrees but not exactly to the degree.
The point is that during Mercury’s transit of the retrograde zone, information is developed in mysterious ways. When that information returns back Your way the second or third time, it has profoundly greater depth. That depth is by way of its nuance. That nuance needs to be deciphered.
For example, You may have met a new person on Sunday, October 26th when Mercury was first transiting 1º33' of Scorpio and then that same person appeared again in Your life close to that same degree point on Mercury’s next passing around December 6th. However, the communication which takes place between the two of You will have new and more developed connotations which signal to greater depths that exist within Your being.
Now that Mercury has just entered the sign of Scorpio and is soon to leave the retrograde zone, I would like to share a sign-by-sign rundown of what aspects of life can be paid attention to during the next twenty days in order to get more in tune with the ramifications that Your own natal Mercury brings to Your life with its transits.
Mercury has spent much time recently with Mars and now is moving into the sign ruled by Mars called Scorpio. Additionally, Mars is now super charged to use their house rulership to influence Mercury. This is because while Mercury has been in Libra they have been receiving the aspect of Rahu. Since Mars is an enemy of Rahu, Mars is now very interested in putting Mercury to use to deliver Mars’ messages into the House where the sign Scorpio falls for your ascendant.
Each person’s Mercury is different, and this is a very general explanation of what realms of life Mercury will touch based on Your VEDIC ASTROLOGICAL ASCENDANT OR “RISING” SIGN. Your Vedic astrological sign is different from Your Western astrological ascendant or “rising” sign. Please get out Your Vedic astrological natal chart and go by the ascendant therein, or pull it up on one of the various Vedic astrological natal chart generators online!
These horoscopes are never anything comparable to an astrological reading; they are simply a way of self-sensitizing to the transit of a planet, but to understand the essence it represents in Your life, You must consult an Astrologer. Now that that’s out of the way, here we go!

This detachment from the self and from objects of comfort will be a factor in Your daily life through around January 21st when Your Ascendant Lord Jupiter has finally passed Ketu.
