Certain events resonate through time, Child of Mercury, long after the initiating strike of the bell. At different times and in certain places, you can hear the sound again and again. It’s like skipping a rock over a pond. Something occurred at the end of July which is creating these resonances. An internal event perhaps, so private you haven’t even mentioned it to others.

Or a dream. A conversation with a sibling in which something important was revealed. This small event sent something in motion. The great eclipse we experienced on August 21 of this year is potentially related: perhaps you’re curating your photos of the eclipse, or writing about your experience! The stone touches down on the water once again as your Ruling Planet turns forward after three weeks of retrograde motion. Linger for a moment here, and ask yourself what has been brewing invisibly since the end of July. Humbly ask if there’s anything else you can do to move matters along. Mercury won’t go retrograde again until December 3, giving you three full months to develop and work on it — but only a moment to listen, because on September 9, your Ruling Planet moves into the next zodiac sign. Be sure to check back here then to see what this means for you!
