Mercury in Gemini
‘Because Y is a crooked letter and Z is no better.’ My Poppa used to say this to me when I was very young in answer to any of my ‘but why’ questions. I always accepted the response without further question. But then again, I always thought my Poppa was such a clever man.…

How to survive (and thrive) during a Mercury retrograde…
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…

How to prepare for Mercury retrograde…
Mercury, as we know, does this a few times a year. For dates and degrees, check out this page. Dealing with it requires common sense, flexibility, clarity and patience. I often tell people to act as if they don’t have a smart phone, or are overseas with the data roaming turned off. What do I mean…

Mercury in Taurus
Saturday, April 1, 2017 Mercury in Taurus Moon in Gemini Miss T has most unkindly, and not entirely unfairly, compared my singing to cat wails, or Kali (Adventure Spaniel) howling. As I said – unkind. I happen to think that I smash some of those Adele high notes out of the park. She says I…

Mercury in Pisces…
When I was first learning astrology, I was told – by someone who should know better – that because my Mercury was so “bad” (yes, the word was used) that I would have had trouble learning as a child, and functioning at any level of seniority in the work place as an adult. The truth…

Mercury in Aquarius…
Mercury moves into Aquarius today. 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 of us. That means that like it or not, Aquarian or not, for the…

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:…

Mercury in Libra…
Mercury tells us, as we know from Toolbox 2.3, a lot about how we communicate, learn, and think. It’s not just what we say, but how we say it; and how we hear, absorb and understand the messages coming from others. Mercury in Air signs learns and communicates through making connections- in the case of…
