It
is rather fitting and proper, that on the day that the fourth Uranus/Pluto
Square is exact, your Avatars of Mind and Self conjoin. Mercury is halfway
through his Retrograde and passes between you and the Sun now, and it is like a
“New Moon” for your Mind and Thought-Forms, and the answers that you
have been seeking may have just been offered up for your consideration.
But you will need to be Humble, you will have to
be Self-Reflective and you will need to be Fearless if you wish to see beyond this Plane of Reality which
holds you in its thrall. For though what you perceive is “Real” it is
a Maya too, and you will need to look beyond appearances to discover the
Foundations of Truth and your Greater Reality.
Be Humble
You are moving through that most profoundly deep and mysterious
Realm of Scorpio now, and there is so much you will discover, and yet there is
much that is, may and must remain hidden. For behind/beyond whatever level of
perception you have come to, there is still much, much further you will
eventually go…So your first step is to step back and approach this mystery
with Humility, to accept and understand that
whatever you now understand to be the Real is still limited. But that is the
way of it, this Path of Awakening you walk is circuitous and spiraling, and you
have indeed drawn closer to Truth and that is good, but you will be limited by
and remain in some form of Maya too.
Be Self-Reflective
You are fired by your passion, to rip away the Veil of Appearances
and so see the greater truth about your Unions. But with Mercury retrograde,
your real need and opportunity is to re-examine yourself, to question the
nature of your unions from Within. So your second step is to be Self-Reflective,
to turn the Laser-Like Illuminations of Scorpio back upon yourself. For if you
do you will be able to do what is most necessary to your self-fulfillment, to
better know yourself. You will understand that in order for you to reach the
Union that you seek, you must know what you have to offer, discern what you
might be willing to sacrifice and come to see more truly what you seek from the
other too. The only path is this, the Path of Self-Mastery; the only Injunction
you need follow, “Know Thyself”.
Be Fearless
If you truly seek to find the way to the Beloved, if you wish to
have your Faith restored by this Rebirth and Renewal found in Communion, then
there is one final step you will and must encounter, you must Face your Fear,
you must strive to become Fearless. With Mercury
retrograde, you will come to see that there is only one true obstacle and
challenge in every Lesson of Life, and that upon this circuitous path of
Self-unfoldment your one true “enemy” will always be…Fear. Your
Fear is made from your self-cast shadows, those echoes of past failures and
losses of yesteryear that bear down upon your present hopes and dreams. And if
you yield to them, if you give way and let them take hold, then all of what
might have been, this promise of reaching beyond yourself and truly becoming
one with another may be lost again…but this need not be so.
You must choose as to whether you will be bound back by what was
or to believe in what might yet be. You can use the Power of Mercury Retrograde
to discern what formed these shadows, of how or why the bridge between yourself
and another was not made or became broken. You can learn from your pain and
choose to harvest this Spiritual Lesson which is a Gift for you, for this is how
you will truly know what to do or not do now. You will take out your
“Sword of Severance”, as you harvest the meanings and messages that
you have earned and leave behind the rest, and then you will turn and face your
new day dawning with Faith and Courage and Love.
Yes, Mercury Retrograde is a Blessing, and in Scorpio he offers
you this Promise. He offers the Gift of Insight which enables you to reach across
and become one with the beloved by first bringing you closer to your own true
Self.
You
will move with Grace in Humility…
You will
seek your Truth in Self-Reflection…
You
will find your Love by Fearing Not.
