In about 20 minutes from now (EST), Merc "officially" moves direct.
Of course, you've heard all those things that can possible happen while Merc is retrograde, but there can be great good that occurs too. Look back these past few weeks - anything really stand out? Chances are good Merc's movement had a hand. I, for one, enjoyed a couple of repeating 718's here in ye olde DE. Waiting on the 5718, straight 718, and would not be ruffled by 1718 either.
Anyway, in terms of understanding exactly what the retrograde/stationing direct movement stuff is all about, think of it like the flu. No really. You know how just before you have a kick-butt viral bug, you just don't feel right? Not really bad, but just off a little. Then, there is a sudden typically striking realization that something is about to go off plan, and then, boom, you've got it. You slog through, sometimes wondering if you'll ever feel good again and then little by little, things normalize. A day finally comes where normal is normal again. Sometimes the bout is really, really bad, sometimes not so bad, sometimes a glancing blow. Over our lives, Merc's movements will impact us at different times in different ways. If you have doubt, then calendar and chronicle and you will come to see and maybe even appreciate Mercury as much as I do.
So, Merc's backing up thing is not nearly as dramatic as influenza, but every once in a while this astrological event is personally memorable (hopefully for how good it is). I hope in the days to come any confusion clears and that you might see clearly the answers you've sought for a while now.
I mentioned recently the full moon and that there seemed to have been a change in the number falls. I still cannot put my finger on it, but clearly (and as astrologically dictated), we have lapsed out of the pure triple zone. This does not mean trips are not possible, just far less likely than they were just past the Full Moon. The double/doubles and P3 doubles are just off the chart (yes GA, thinking of you too). Dr65 - you were right on the money in my other thread, and clearly you are getting it. When we start to synchronize and pick up on all the information around us, it is like a genuine smile and sense of relief.
I welcome Merc's new direction. Unless they are bleeds from the P3 (like 1113, 0004, 1117, 1177, 1178, etc) I'm not getting a lot of P4 feedback right now. Sometimes that happens when the energy on the 3 digits is very, very strong. There are going to be continued repeats - 177, 718, 711, 311/131/113, 116, 788, 898, 868, 004 - if a number already fallen for your state won't leave you alone, do not discard it as useless.
I'm not talking strong trips, but 222 won't leave me alone. BOAW has been 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 somes sitting staggered 1/1/1 on multiple wires, but then there were 3 little ones yesterday vying for my attention. All this 3-1-1-1-3 action is just off the chart. 444 and 555 due to lots of 4 and 5 volume means that 555 is "cut off" in DE. I hate it when that happens. But just to confirm, "sold out" falls do hit here in DE - I have personally confirmed and verified this.
Just as I finished writing the above, I had a flash on my wire: Just one of the TX wildfires is bigger than the entire State of Delaware. Please focus on Tx and pray for rain. J
