Astrological Tendencies for Autum 2010

Trends: Sept, Oct and November 2010

By

Maharani Rutan

It has been an uncomfortable period for many with Mercury, Pluto, Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron being retrograde.  It’s almost like being torn in all directions. Thus I will break each cycle down and perhaps you can feel some relief. I will put the summary in timeline order so that you can follow how things develop.  In the Vedic philosophies when a planet is retrograde it means Karma time so remember always retrograde is not always bad it means what Karma do you have to pay back and what do you need to learn?

 

Mercury

Beings its direct movement September 12, 2010 and stations September exact on September 27, 2010.  Unlike most retrograde periods, in 2010 Mercury retrogrades four times.

Normally Mercury retrogrades two times a year however this year it is three some people will say four.  The last retrograde period being December it seems to feel like a re-run show from last December. Therefore, the retrograde periods were in April/May, August/September and last one December/January

Mercury is basically a planet of thought, reconsideration and communication.  Mercury about thinking through things before acting, looking at possible reaction before action and lastly it’s about either letting go of things that are no longer useful but before you do you must think about the consequences of your own action. 

Mercury begins its motion directed today September 12, 2010, at 7:09pm EST. If anyone says the Mercury is direct to you this means they do not understand the Ghost period.  Mercury is NOT direct it is moving direct. Usually any planet that turns retrograde it must go back to position.  It’s like a train that has no coal this means that it will take just as long to get back to normal.  Though some of you may feel a tad bit better in how things are with you.  Don’t get too excited yet.  Mercury will be station and finish its journey on September 27, 2010.  

This means what ever you have, what ever you think, what ever it is that happened to you during retrograde will be until it is revisited again December 10, 2010. 

Beings its direct movement September 12, 2010 and stations September exact on September 27, 2010.  The next retrograde period begins November 22, 2010 (Ghost period) effects will be noted more so December 10, 2010 and it will reach its station January 18, 2010.  

Pluto

Pluto is a planet of change.  Whatever that is toxic for you will eventually leave.  Moreover, Pluto will make sure it goes and even if you want it will go.  Pluto is also about accepting changes that Pluto is about the self.  If it is not healthy let it go.  Many Capricorns may have felt these aspects. Perhaps you fought to keep someone in your life that is not beneficial or make you happy.  Perhaps it was that you are changing not them. Nevertheless, it has to go and it must go. Either they change to accept or you change to accept if you want to keep them.  Since you can’t control the other you can control you.  So its time to ask how badly do you want it and for what purpose? This is what Pluto does.  It scares, angers and confuses you to force you to throw it away.  But the big relief comes back to Capricorn what ever is gone is gone.  It won’t come back to this degree again this year.

This means many people who are undergoing these affects will feel some relief September 13-14 but remember give it about two weeks and look for complete relief for this year around September 27, 2010. However, it may peek his little head out in November 2010 for a temporary phase.

Jupiter

Jupiter is a wonderful planet it is the one that one should always embrace.  It is Luxmi it is the planet of luck and fortune. During retrograde time which began approximately July 23, 2010, your money could have been slow or the luck you used to have seems to have runs out.  Or even that job you wanted falls through and it sat in Aries. Jupiter enters Pisces so look at what happened to you around January through July.  Was your money good? Did you have a good job? Or the opposite?

Whatever that it is just hang on for just a little while longer because it will all change November 21,  2010 when Jupiter begins its motion forward.

Neptune

Neptune is a planet of confusion and ego.  Usually in the Vedic Astrology it is known as Ketu as planet of clashes and denials.  Even if we think we are satisfied in something we are not and we have a vague inclination of something is not true to us. Neptune is about the inner voice, and your psyche. During retrograde there is a chance of suspicion and overwhelmed by feelings of dissolutions.  This period began on May 31, 2010.  So be calm! Your suspicions or accusations may not be totally true and this may mean you may loose something important to you because of your own suspicion. 

This period will last until November 7, 2010 and perhaps giving an additional two weeks which will fall right around the November 25, 2010 right at Thanksgiving would not be a bad idea. This period made Aquarius a little chilled and those who have Aquarius in their chart may have felt a little too.

Chiron

Chiron is about feelings and realization. When Chiron is retrograding those painful times in our lives become more intense and we feel more than we want to. Chiron is known as a teacher who could not heal himself.  Chiron represents a focus that we must face the issues in hand first and learn to rise above them.  But during retrograde time we are not able to see beyond our blinders.  Denying what you have must go or what you had is really gone.

This period begin June 4 in Pisces.  It will not begin its motion forwards until November 7, 2010.  Give or take two weeks for the ghost period will, this means things may become very clear around November 24, 2010.

More good news is that Venus and Mars entered Scorpio this means if you are a Scorpio or have any planets in Scorpio what out all eyes are on you.  But Venus wont stay there forever it will retrograde in beginning of October and may not move to is position until middle of November.

There are so many wonderful things about to come in November it seems like many of us may actually sit down for dinner with our close ones and be embrace. 

Venus

Beautiful Venus, she goes retrograde every 18 months for us to review our love life and think about our needs.  One of the wonderful things she has been doing is she has decided to use mars as a punching back in Scorpio for a little while.  But the punching bag is turning into love love love for Scorpios.  With all this energy she will be visible a gigantic star in the sky.

Venus affects our way of thinking, our emotions, and hunger for relationships it can also be a desire for money and success.  She sets the stands for social attitudes, and behaviors.  She looks over areas of romance, marriage and every asset of interpersonal relationships.  She allows us humor and gives the incentives for happiness. While it is retrograde a relationship or partnerships slow down like a car with a flat tire.  When Venus is retrograde it forces us to re-evaluate relationship of all kinds and focus upon unfinished business especially in areas of feelings and finances. 

Fixed signs will be greatly affected by this retrograde (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) or those who have Scorpio in their chart

This period begins October 5  in Scoprio.  Venus will then change signs on November 12, 2010, into Libra.  I will write more about it as it becomes a bit closer.

Please remember these are general tendencies and not everyone will fell all the effects.  But you can change your destiny by not allowing these things to bog you down.  For example during retrograde I got rid of things that were no longer beneficial for me by discarding things that weighed me down to make room for new and better things.  When Pluto went retrograde instead of Pluto forcing me to let of people I did it my self because I can no longer allow toxic things in my life. Always remember everything depends upon your faith and how you handle the situation.  You can change your destiny either choose to accept the Karma that the Universe brings to you or resist it but at the end you shall too realize there is no power higher than the Universe.

Additionally please keep in mind I am neither an astrologer nor claim to be but in Vedic readings we have to encompass the Karmic views as our maps to reality.  For more information of how these aspects will affect you, I recommend that you make a special appointment with my recommended Astrologers Here.

Wishing you the best of September, October and Part of November 2010.. but remember Cardinal signs may still be going through their ups and down for quite sometime. It is my suggestion that you set up an appointment with a recommended Astrologers Here. Or set set up an appointment with me at a 20% discount as long as you are on my mailing list. 

The best way to contact me is mrutan@cosmicpsychic.com.

Choose the change otherwise it will be forced upon you and always remember you are in the Univeses playground not vice a versa.

Namaste

Mercury Retrograde July 31 ~ Sept 27 2010

BREATHE!!!!!

 

On August 20, 2010, Mercury turns retrograde at 19 degrees in Virgo. Mercury retrograde is best known to sending issues in our infrastructure, missed engagements, mail and the www into a general snarl-up! This uncomfortable period lasts for three weeks, until September 12, 2010.  It finally levels out on September 27, 2010, bringing things back to normal.  Though many people will state that Mercury will go away on September 12, 2010, one must understand that Mercury is a slow moving planet (almost like a slow locomotive) therefore, the effect can be felt three (3) weeks before and after the event.

Mercury Shadow begins three weeks before the actual moving backwards in time and the shadow phase began approximately July 31, 2010 and it will keep moving like a slow locomotive without gas until September 12, 2010.  When train sees the end of the tunnel it will begin to speed up and finally come it its station completely on September 27, 2010.

During the retrograde the information we receive from people and our environment will be mis-interpreted and what we say is not what we mean.  Additionally what we hear is not what is meant. But most importantly what we see is often not real.  Therefore it is not wise to speak, negotiate, purchase, trade, sign, travel, ship or mail anything and expects to be on time or even without alterations. It is advisable not to be hasty with your money or any communication because we may do or say something we may later regret.

With Mercury retrograde in Virgo, people with this sign prominent in their charts will be particularly prone to such introspection. Additionally, because Mercury is moving into Mutable signs (Sagittarius, Pisces, and Gemini) will not be excluded.  Even though Mercury is in the mutable sign, usually Mercury rules Gemini, Virgo and Pisces therefore those who have their sun sign in Gemini, Virgo or Pisces or prominent in their chart will also be affected.  It does not have to be negative aspects some people say that Virgo will defiantly love the retrograde period.  But all others may be challenged.

The advantage of mercury retrograde can be best understood for reorganizing your life or your surroundings and thinking about where you are today and where you want to go tomorrow without making any solid plans.  But don’t think too much because it will change. This process should be pensive its time to keep track of your thoughts.  But don’t stop anything remember the train is still on track it just ran out of gas and it is re charging its coal. 

When mercury is retrograding in the signs of Virgo it favors organization, learning and taking care of business.  Mercury retrograde will be questioning: “Why do I need to learn this? What is the point? What will I do with it?  People attitude may change.  People’s attitudes will be demanding, and everything may need to be perfect.

Since Mercury in Virgo has a tendency to be extremely analytical and practical thought pattern. Mercury in Virgo may cause impulsive thinking and agitated and may even be overly picky.  Our minds may race 100 miles per hour often so exhausting that it may need extreme meditation. Some of us may become extremely scrupulous and possibly become obsessed yet we find no time to do so.  This could cause stress on our physical body and we may become ill or fatigue  

 Mercury retrograde does NOT mean that you must stop the projects you have in mind rather take the time to perfect it but be sure not to sign contracts or get your self involved in legal issues because it is a guarantee it will be revisited before the next retrograde.

A planet is described as retrograde when it appears to be moving backwards through the zodiac. This traditional concept arises in the illusory planetary motion created by the orbital rotation of the earth, with relation to other planets in our solar system. Planets are never actually retrograde or stationary, they just seem that way, due to this optical illusion.  Retrograde periods, although often problematic for us earthlings, are not particularly uncommon. Each planet retrogrades, except the Sun and Moon. Mercury, much like the winged messenger of the gods, comes in on feather-light wings and commands us to speak.

 Communication, understanding and consciousness are all within Mercury’s domain, as are logic and reasoning, our manner of thinking, and how we create and express our thought processes. A mercurial nature brings to mind restlessness and motion. Rat-a-tat-tat — things happen fast here. Mercury is about a quick wit, quick thinking, possibilities, opinions, reasoning and the ability to rationalize things. Mercurial energy can be good or bad, but it will certainly be energizing! This Planet also prompts us to move from one thing to the next and to get answers on both a physical and psychological level. Further, Mercury’s energy is both dexterous and perceptive. Mercury is about short trips: a visit to a neighbor or a friend across town, the workaday commute, and a weekend getaway. Siblings and transportation in general, are also within Mercury’s realm. Speaking, writing, books, online communications and learning are all within Mercury’s domain. This Planet implores us to express ourselves often — and well.

Because Mercury rules communication and transportation, these two areas are most influenced during a Mercury Retrograde. Conversations might be more difficult, as crossed signals and unclear meanings confuse normally straightforward discussions. Still, with a little caution and consideration, you’ll get your point across. Similarly, be prepared with a back-up plan when you’re traveling. If your flight gets canceled or your car won’t start, remain calm and make the best of it. Who knows — you might not have met that fascinating new person in the airport lobby or bus stop if you had taken your flight or driven to work…

Remember, we can use this powerful energy in positive ways. Use this time to do activities that start with “re”: renew, repair, review, renegotiate, and research…

In general, Mercury rules thinking and perception, processing and disseminating information and all means of communication, commerce and transportation. By extension, Mercury rules people who work in these areas, especially people who work with their minds or their wits: writers and orators, commentators and critics, gossips and spin doctors, tricksters and thieves.  Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and   trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray, or awry. 

When Mercury is retrograde, everyone’s thinking is more meditative and we tend to think about issues and concern that relate to the sign involved.  Artistic tendencies including crafts, music, art or design tend to be blocked by circumstances beyond one’s control. Legal matters will proceed slowly and unforeseen obstacles tend to emerge. Mercury retrograde tends to lack depth of awareness and has no patience for detailed analysis. All areas of communication are affected. Methods and motivation for learning, communication and transportation are subject to difficulties under this aspect. It brings travel snafus and missed appointments of all kinds.

Remember that with all applications of psalms and mantras achieving the desired result is depended upon the quality of intention, and when it comes to finding satisfying relationships, it is of the greatest importance to begin with a clear understanding of what your goal should be. The mantras can be hard to pronounce for many but it is a powerful source of energy I have chosen two mantras for you during this mercury retrograde:

“Om Budhaya Namaha”

(Om Bood-han-yah Nahm-ah-ha)

“Om and salutations to Buddha, presiding

spirit of planet mercury”

This mantra is used to achieve mental clarity, to avoid and overcome misunderstandings and keep friendly communications flowing. Many people have asked the question how often they should have a reading done by a physic or a tarot reader.  In my opinion an in depth reading should be done every moon cycle. 

Please remember I am NOT a Astrologer nor do I claim to be one, rather, I am a Vedic Sanskrit Reader who encompasses Astrology as a utility as basis of the reading and surrounds the magnificent transformational destiny and Karma reading as a conclusion to all readings.

If you are looking for how Mercury Retrograde will affect you personally, please consult my Astrological Gurus : Rex Estell Or Toni Thomas . Make sure you let them know I sent you to them and perhaps they can discount your reading but please keep in mind they are quite busy and therefore, discount is not guaranteed rather quality service is.

Remember on August 20, 2010, Eastern Serendipity will open their doors for one hour with Maharani  and Rex Estell and on August 21, 2010, Maharani will bring two wonderful guest speakers Toni Thomas and Rex Estell both will talk about Mercury Retrograde and Grand Cross.  More information coming soon.
