The first Mercury Retrograde of 2020 stations direct in Aquarius/Pisces on the 10th of March at 3:59am – UT.
Our Cosmic Trickster is set for 3 watery retrogrades this 2020, dancing well within Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
There’s a FREEDOM in this current Mercury Retrograde. A healing and momentum bringing freedom.
With Mercury’s Piscean influenced downpour into our accumulated and active subconscious, the crispness in subtle understanding leads the way.
Have you been weeping into your sunset-lit-pillow, weeping for no apparent reason? Perhaps these last 2 weeks were confusingly confrontational? The fact is, Mercury propels communication and when in Retrograde, we need to look into the walls we built throughout the flow of the last 6 months.
Were we too hard on ourselves? Holding deep and heavy grudges for no wise reason or did we get taken by unnecessary confusions?
Whatever our reflections, this Retrograde has the power to bring to the surface what shouldn’t have been left behind. Even if what these recent weeks were showing us don’t make sense, don’t worry yourselves a feather, it’s actually a sign of helpful progress!
Remember that the subtleness is key: communication isn’t just about wit or logic, there are so many flavours of expression and we must allow for the moods to stir the pot of understanding.
It’s really ok to make an honest mistake, just please learn from the errors that surface and be tender, tender with yourselves and tender with others.
This approaching softness will bring creative and appreciated freedom. This approaching softness is a “giving” masterpiece.
When Mercury stations direct on the 10th, be expecting a climactic end to a Neptunian kissed backward spin. Pretty much everything that’s written here will rise up as this primary Retrograde period closes.
So, how is Mercury showing up for you during this primarily Piscean Retrograde period?
The next Mercury in Retrograde cycle commences on the 18th of June 2020, in the constellation of Cancer, with the pre-shadow energies focussing on Cancer, which will take place from the 2nd of June 2020 and then stationing direct again in Cancer, come the 12th of July 2020. Mercury ends his post-shadow period on the 26th of July 2020.
The last Mercury in Retrograde for 2020 will manifest in the constellation of Scorpio, which will begin on the 14th of October and end on the 3rd of November.
The Pre and Post shadow periods are generally 2 and a half weeks before and after the Mercury in Retrograde cycles, so do keep this in mind when working with the energies and themes. Also, if you own a TarotbyTashi “Mercury in RX Sacred Scent” make sure to work with it during the Shadow and Retrograde Cycles.
Since the Mercury in Retrogrades of 2020 are predominantly in water signs, this promotes the ability to surge to the depths of our subconscious and to connect with parts of our psyche that will support our own healing processes. This will take place through various degrees of emotional understanding, creative outbursts and intuitive alignment.
The years 2022, 2023 and 2024 are heralding 4 retrogrades within each year and it seems to be the cosmic flow with Mercury, moving through 3 or 4 cycles of Retrogrades per year. It tends to jump from a series of 3 cycles per year and then 2-3 years of 4 retrogrades every 12 months. You will notice this through how the cycles overlap – come the end of a calendar year.
This year for instance, the retrogrades are mostly in the middle portions of the year, so there will only be three cycles….and, as they space out again, we will return to a 4 cycle per year segment. This is how it tends to flow.
I do warn you though, no retrograde cycle is easy should we not apply a willingness to re-asses the themes the retrograde is considering. There are always useful ways to work with the energies and this is why becoming familiar with their messages is important. The cycles are indeed personal, since we all have different STAR MAPS. Through understanding how such retrogrades effect us individually, we will be provided with a swiftness in obtaining the wisdom of the cycle.
Did you know that I too am an Astrologer for companies/organizations? …..one of the most common requests (and this is not a secret) is to provide personalised readings for companies RE: all Mercury in Retrograde cycles. How do I do this? Get in touch to find out.
Sending you all lightening bolts of clarity and wonder + everything Mercury.
Love and light,

Hello dear ones,
The word “Solstice” is derived from two Latin words: sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still.) So basically, Solstice is the time when the Sun stands still.
I ask because it was extra special symbolically and astrologically. I spent mine gathering the last ingredients for the new Solstice Sacred Scent and watched the first light enter a 2700 BC Megalithic Monument, built in homage to the Summer and Winter Solstice. It was a deeply moving moment and I carried all of you in my heart whilst committing to prayers and ceremony. There was an intimate group with me, Mystical Touring and we all felt the deep nourishing silence that only such potent moments can bring forth. You can still capture this silence, right up until the first Full Moon of 2018. So please, do sit with it, retreat if you can and work with the subtle influences divinely.
Take the time on the 25th to assess what motivates you? What is the driving force pushing you forward? Is it a healthy force or are you driven by poisonous emotions? All poisonous emotions can be transformed…so work with the magic of the 25th to have a good look into what it is that moves you forward? Are you doing all you do for the utmost benefit or not? Just how much of your intentions are pure? All these questions are worthy of answers and you need to answer them to you. Only to you! After you have assessed your ambitions and the governing forces beneath them, take the time to really confirm if you are happy with them, if your heart is pleased? How does your heart feel? Note down your discoveries and re-set your divine intention wherever it is lacking. When we talk about divine intention we are talking about being of a sincere service to all beings, far and wide and to our Earth and its elements. The Capricornian Stelliums influence tends to do really well in a worldly sense so please ensure to harness the energy in a GREATER way and go beyond the narrowness of the ego. A lot of GREAT work can be accomplished under this influence and through simply setting ones intentions, starting a blessed project or planning something out, the 25th is a guaranteed portal towards success when used correctly.
Saturn at 0degrees in Capricorn is on the shelf and ready to send off into the world. I sealed the creation under the influence of Saturn’s return back home. Some ingredients to mention are: Juniper, Patchouli, Cypress and sacred Earth. Working with this Essential Oil Perfume Blend is grounding; anyone who would like to experience the benefits of Saturn should get their hands on one of these. If you are going through your Saturn Return then I feel this Sacred Scent will bring a transformative power over the influence. The Cypress in particular, when blended with Juniper can ease off any hard to process potency. 1 15ml Dropper Bottle costs $33.00 USD + Postage and you can 
With the Sun, Moon, Venus, Saturn and Mercury all in Sagittarius, we will be gifted with the opportunity of Divine Goal Setting and if we allow it, this New Moon will knock our socks off towards greater realizations. The New Moon will take place on the 17th / 18th of December 2017 and peak at around 7:30am on the 18th (Parisian Time.) To be ready for the last New Moon of 2017, prepare for spiritual “take off” and open your heart to the swiftness of advancement. We are all natural born seekers and this Divine Archer won’t let our targets get away, so do ask for your wishes to be granted and they will! The strength of these 5 planets will provide us with a Jupiterian boon, Saturn has been in Sagittarius for a while now and just before its departure into Capricorn, it will offer us some final teachings on a needed cosmic order. With the support of so many juicy planets, we are destined to grow and in speeds unimaginable. This portal of advancement is short so please soak it up until the 20th because after that, the lights will dim and the REAL discipliner shall arrive.
We secretly want the Jupiterian emphasis because if we really think about it, it wouldn’t fit if the New Moon were in Libra or Pisces during the dying part of the year. We need something ALL-EMBRACING and large. This is exactly what we have; the luckiest signs of them all and this Star is here to remind us of the TRUEST QUEST. If we remember we will be able to see in the dark and win our way towards the birth of the new light. We mustn’t give up nor fear the infinite roads, the journey will end and we will be victorious through our trust and fearless belief in a deeper sense of being. This Sagittarius New Moon coupled with the force of many other planets is blessing us with the energy we need to get through and ascend, high above the petty borders of the ego. Rise up dear hearts and enjoy the glory of this time.
Broaden your own Cultural or Religious perspective via researching / investigating something that attracts you. Honoring the New Moon in Sagittarius is to honor cultures from all around the world and their belief systems. If it is Astrology that interests you, read about a new theme linked to the subject. Our Divine Archer wants you to expand your horizons by watching an informative documentary or by actually going on a pilgrimage to a sacred place somewhere out there! Where will you go? Sometimes just sitting by the seaside or resting at the top of a nearby mountain is enough. Do something under the light of this New Moon to feed your soul and its curiosity. Be a pilgrim in whatever way that may mean to you!
