Star Struck Style

If I had to go back through ten years of blog posts, I’d probably find plenty of instances where I claim that Mercury stations are way worse than Mercury retrograde periods. When the planet is stuck in the sky, communication breakdowns occur. This week confirms my claims. The worldwide Microsoft Outlook crash and the grounding of all flights in the US within a few hours of one other are all the evidence I need to prove that I’m right.

Anyway, Mercury just went direct. I don’t believe that we’re out of the woods just yet, though. Mars meets up with Jupiter in Leo over the next few days, and the insufferable braggarts that run many of our institutions will be pointing fingers at one another as they play the blame game for anything and everything, from the recent American election losses to the Nvidia scandal. Bloated self-importance and aggressive denial of responsibility are going to characterize this conjunction, and the effects will linger on for quite some time.

But I digress! Mercury will start picking up speed soon. However, it doesn’t move out of Scorpio until the first week of December, and then it spends a couple of weeks in its detriment in Sagittarius. It meets up with the sun in Capricorn on New Year’s Day, and that bodes well for the new American congress that should be sworn in on January 3. Until then, it might be wise to expect more delays — both the ones caused by technological failures and the ones caused by elevating idiots into positions of power.

Good luck, everyone. You’re going to need it . . .
