Mercury Retrograde Synchronicity

Mercury Retrograde in Aries
☿℞♈︎ 16th March 2025, 06:45 UTC
Oh the synchronicities are too much, it feels so good! 🌀
Let’s shift our perspective on the echo chambers response to Mercury Retrograde. Instead of blaming the planets and the cosmic orchestra, sit comfortably and soak up the awesome virtuosic expression this time is asking us to listen to – to align with, to evolve through!
Mercury is stationed for 24hrs before turning retrograde at 9°♈︎ Aries, Cardinal Fire.
The Mind Flame calling us into an experiential and visionary contemplation while we observe the fated shifts this Eclipse portal has to offer.
Philosophically observe your Breath, your Mind – Watch it. It is miraculously altering and you do not need to panic or dramatise this process… It is like watching the flame flicker because the air in the room has been disturbed momentarily, you don’t need to stand up and flap your arms around attempting to steady the air. No, you can invite yourself to sit and observe. Watch the flame as you call your mind into STILLNESS. Gentle focus, and the flame stills.
Epimethean Mercury Retrograde invites you to sit in the practice of Trataka: gazing, without stress at the flame. Cleansing the optical nerve as you close your eyes and aim to recall the image of the flame to your mind’s eye. The optical nerve is responsible for the transfer of visual information and impulses from the retina in your eye to the visual centers of your brain, which are interpreted as images – forming our perceptions. An ideal practice for Mercury retrograde in Aries!
Mercury: the planet of communion, thought and co-ordination, facilitating negotiation, dexterity and mental processing, rules the Virgoan South Node that welcomed us with the Lunar Eclipse yesterday (14th March). And is stationing retrograde at the 9th degree of cardinal fire, which is the degree the Solar Eclipse will close with on the 29th March.
Furthermore, Venus now spends these 14 days within 10° of the Sun, 7 days either side of the Cazimi point occurring on the 23rd March 01:07 UTC. With the macrocosmic archetypal Mind ☿ and Heart ♀ in sync this is an opportune time to be personally supported in the microcosmic processing and reflecting on the Gates Venus has passed through as Vesper, Evening Star – encoding our Soul ☽ (Moon) growth in the past 9 months. And the later 7 days as an invisible Morning Star gives her contemplative aid to envision her path’s rise as Lucifer the Light Bringer, illuminating the vibrant days to come in the coming 9 months.
As our Soul ☽ (Moon) is liberated from the rejuvenating inferno of Sol’s Pure Consciousness at the Solar Eclipse, we are initiated into a wildly vivid new scene set to unfold in the coming years… The Inspired Mind ☿ (Mercury) and Creative Heart ♀(Venus) flank the Transcendent Spirit ♆ (Neptune) before it embarks on its pioneering reinvention through the Cardinal Fires lens.
…
So, check in and listen this coming week to the Epimethean Retrograde phase ahead of Mercury’s Solar Union on the 24th March. Support your mind to clear and release the egoic and entitled attachments and assumptions that will alchemise and become phosphorus through the brilliance of Pure Consciousness. In the early days of invisible Promethean Mercury (New Mercury) let your intuitive mind commune for you, be open to the highly instinctive and visceral prompts that you are nudged to accommodate within your nervous system. This time is not just an era of technology advancement, but equally the supreme activation of our true connection to the Universal Self.

Mercury stations direct on the 7th April at 26º Pisces.
Try the Trataka practice:
- Gaze at flame (tall candle is best), flame placed at eye level, arms length from body.
- Gaze gently, relaxed facial muscles, aiming to not blink.
- Hold a soft gaze until you need to close your eyes (or if tears prick your eyes)
- Practice that about 3 times or for around 5 mins
- When closing the eyes recall the image of the flame to your mind’s eye.
- Ending with a reclined rest with eyes closed (or an eye mask), holding the mind’s eye vision of flame for as long as you can.
- Take a 10 minute savasana or go to sleep.
