  • Mercury retrograde revisited and something about the balsamic moon…

    I told you last week about my Mercury mishaps this time around. There have been more… I’m off to Sydney this weekend for a 60th birthday party. I’m staying down into next week in order to show my face in the office, but hubby is coming home on Monday. When I booked his return flight…

  • Mercury Retrograde…the story so far…

    Hi all, I’m sitting at Sydney airport waiting for a flight home and just thought I’d drop by & give you a few Mercury retrograde stories to have a giggle at my expense over. We’ve been in Canberra for the funeral of a very close friend. To be honest, it freaked me out quite a…

  • Mercury in Pisces

      I rarely go to the movies. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it, just that I have limited downtime and it isn’t a priority. The other night though, my daughter and I saw The Greatest Showman. Oh, the spectacle! We both loved it. On the way home, as we were talking and replaying the…

  • Mercury in Aquarius

    Mercury moves into Aquarius later today or the wee hours of tomorrow morning – depending on where you live. Yeah, so what? I hear you say. ‘I’m not an Aquarian,’ you say, ‘so it can’t affect me.’ Yeah…nah. The thing is, the movement of the planets provides the planetary or astro weather forecast for all…

  • Mercury in Capricorn

    Mercury is poised to move into Capricorn and my attention has turned to matters of business – or rather business results and business planning. That makes sense – Capricorn is 11th house stuff for me, so it’s at this time of the year that I start putting some structure behind and around and under my…

  • Something about cazimi…

    Wednesday 13 December 2017 Sun conjunct Mercury Moon in Libra The Sun and Mercury meet up today in a conjunction that is more than your average planetary joining together. Those of you who have been reading along for a while will know that this is known as cazimi. But for everyone else, what does it mean?…

  • Mercury Retrograde…here we go again

    I don’t know what made me look again at the instructions for the piece of work I was about to start this morning, but something did. And I saw a piece of information I’d missed the first time through. An extremely vital piece of information. The sort of information that would have led to not…

  • Mercury in Scorpio

    If I were to say to you: can you keep a secret? Would you know just what to do- or where to keep it? Poison Arrow, by ABC. If you have Mercury in Scorpio you know the answers to these questions. Not only can you keep a secret, you know where to keep it: locked away…

  • The DIY Guide to Mercury Retrogrades

    I’ve prattled on a lot in the past about Bali and why I love it – and the people. Possibly, though, the thing I love the most are the offerings. The process of constructing and offering the tributes is not just a belief based ritual, but also a deliberate pause to be fully in the…

  • Mercury in Virgo

    Mercury heads into Virgo later this morning – if you want to know more about Mercury in Virgo, check out this post. The thing is, Mercury will turn retrograde in a couple of weeks, so will have a much longer stay than usual in Virgo – until 30 September…albeit with a short venture back into…
