Mercury retrograde dives deep in Scorpio as Moon turns New in Libra

I waited to report in on Mercury retrograde to see what this retrograde cycle would be feeling like. Reporting now from the depths: it feels like the same feeling you have when you look into your toilet and see that everything you thought you had flushed into the miraculous system of indoor plumbing is still there except now the toilet paper you used has swelled and it’s such a mess you want to rip your hair out and cry like a 2-year old having a tantrum in a public place and you’re both the toddler and the mom. Unpleasantly graphic but I assure you that is EXACTLY what is happening in your emotional realm as Mercury plummets into the depths of Scorpio. Just to note on your astro calendar: Mercury will continue retrograde back into Libra on October 29 (just in time for the 2nd Full Moon of this month happening on October 31). When Mercury moves back into Libra you will be able to apply what you just coughed up during the first few weeks of going retrograde in Scorpio.

I know this is graphic and incredibly distasteful to the more delicate types (if you have strong Virgo in your chart you probably just went and checked your own toilets to make sure they’re clean and well-flushed) but Mercury retrograde in Scorpio will give you the courage and the imperative to get into your unresolved, lingering emotional pain and give it all a fabulous FLUSH! All the stopped up sadness, grief, disappointment, hurt, betrayal and whatever else gets caught in your craw and brings you to instant tears…feel it and let it all go down the big drain of release.

For me it all got released after a few months of some deep pain in both my heels but more so on the left. I know my body always tells me what is going on emotionally for me, even if sometimes it takes a bit of searching to get to the whys of pains. I like to start on the physical so when I have a pain I go to my acupuncturist. My acupuncturist (thank you, Andrew of ImmortalMedicine) told me that the heart line runs right through the heel where the pain was throbbing. It was pretty bad for a bit and I had trouble putting weight on the heels, which of course led to some good, feet-propped-on-pillows time, much needed relax time after moving around quite a bit these last months. And, oh yes, the heart wound. Getting back to that. Well my left eye spontaneously tears up like part of me is always crying some.

After a few acupuncture treatments and an insane foot reflexology treatment at our local Relaxing Station, over the course of a few days into the retrograde period I was able to release another level of heart wounding – a lifetime process for me, deeper and deeper each level of cleansing and release. And the obvious – how can I walk forward in my life if I can’t put my heels down? I sweated it out with night sweats and chills. I cried it out in the bathtub. I took extra cbd. I used all the skills and tools I’ve learned from many masters and I just let it all go in real Scorpionic style – privately, sincerely, deeply and personally. Today I feel better than before. Excited to be writing. Engaged in possibility. Ready for whatever.

I sincerely hope this will inspire you to release whatever might be plugging up your own emotional system. To have your channel totally clear is critical right now more than ever as you need to be able to hear/feel your own inner guidance clearly and concisely these epic days of transitional chaos we are living. We are all in the storm of purging, releasing, and reforming and how you navigate the storm will be in your unique way. I like to play house in a bursts of creative staging and decorating. if I feel like I’m slipping into a lower vibration I start moving objects around to create pleasing and interesting visual vignettes. Flowers are front and center in this play, of course. That’s what I do. You do what you really, really like to do and that will immediately raise your vibration. And vibration-raising is vital these days. Also be outside as much as you can.

You can get love and support from others (and you know I am one of your greatest supporters!) but you have to walk the walk yourself. You have to do the work yourself. You have to flush your own system. The New Moon in Libra occurring Friday, October 16 is the PERFECT time to re-set your intentions for emotional balance and harmony.

New Moon in Libra following on the heels of Mercury moving retrograde in Scorpio? Could not be a better orchestrated New Moon for setting your clear intentions for relationship harmony. And, as you know, the most important relationship you have is the one with yourself. When your relationship with yourself is in alignment with LOVE, feeling so good, you can turn your attention to relationships with others, specifically intimates or those with whom you have contractual agreements – that’s the realm of Libra.

The LIBRA New Moon is ruled by Venus. Venus in Libra holds the mind in a place of LOVE and from the mind, from love-filled thoughts, follow actions of LOVE. More about how to feed Venus in Libra and how to activate Venus through any sign, through any time check out my ebook
