The Dust Settles
Eclipses can bring very dramatic news — for better or for worse. Many can experience them with the feeling of stag- gering loss, or be launched up to the stars on a happy rocket. Ei- ther way, by June, the April and May eclipse energies will start to
settle, except for the few who still have news to come. Occasion- ally eclipse ‘news’ can come in the month after they occur.
If you feel like you have been through the wringer, are tired from helping others who have been, or if the eclipses have brought fantastic news and you are tired from the mania of it all, then the second week in June starts the time to rest. Mer- cury will start its shadow period around June 10th and then go retrograde in Cancer on June 26th through July 20th. Cancer is a very emotional and introspective sign and since the Mercury retrograde period carries the same energy, this period’s energy will be doubly so.
It may be hard to slow down from the whirlwind of energy. If you don’t start a proactive slow-down, then Mercury will “help” you. Isaythiswithamischievousgrin,asIknowthe“help”might not be recognized as such. Here are some ways this retrograde cycle can help you rest: creating problems with your phone, printer, computer, car or other transportation; bringing in peo- ple/experiences that highlight the topic of communication (or lack thereof) and make you be attentive to the issue — all of these having the capacity to create a situation where you simply MUSTslowdown. Doyourselfafavorandrecognizethe“gifts”as such and make things easier by taking the hint, so the Universal
“knocks” don’t have to become bangs.
Some other ways Mercury retrograde in Cancer can manifest
is: vacation with or to visit family, or someone from your past, or making plans for such a trip; family or past association com- ing to visit you; returning back to any place that was or feels like
“home”; and the seemingly inadvertent triggering or proactive delving into childhood memories (good or bad).
Enjoy the rest, you will need it to prepare for the August-Sep- tember time period, which will be a last window for clear person- al planets before October starts a period of 9 months of Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
