the psychic weather report
18.08.2024
I think this is a screeenshot I took from a video of Rowland S. Howards cover of Lonesome town.
This Mercury retrograde I’ve been thinking about how Mercury and Hermes, is associated with the wind.
This I think is a good way of visualising how it feels to communicate during a Mercury retrograde.
Your words can get swept out of your mouth and end up in an unintended audience.
And unless you are loud or close, it takes great effort to make sure your words and ideas heard.
A Mercury Cazimi is the one day in the retrograde where the Sun is conjunct Mercury and it is a brief respite where it is possibly to connect more easily.
Like the eye of the storm, the wind stops whipping around and you can quickly get your point across.
The energy calls to mind, architecture that is made for sound. natural or man made amphitheaters, concert halls, yelling down a stair well or singing in a cave, natural resonance of large architecture or nature.
If you are feeling scattered and hard to focus, it could help to take regular breaks and work on fragments at a time instead of getting overwhelmed by the whole picture.
Tomorrow there is the full moon in Aquarius, take time to think about the role of responsibility in your life. The role you want to play in your community. Could potentially be more beneficial to focus on writing your thoughts into a notes ap or journal and then debut-ing anything new when the retrograde is over and you have had time to sit with it.
Seems like the last week has really magnified some aspects of peoples lives that have felt out of control or unmanageable, and a possible hit to confidence. Enjoy the relief of that intensity passing the next couple days and can take time to contemplate how to enact any lessons learned into the future.
After the intensity I would think it could be a good time to let any revelations acclimatize to the fabric of your day to day, like when you bring home a goldfish and have to leave them in a bag in water before releasing it.
With Virgo season around the corner I would anticipate it being a good time for editing, physically/ intellectually and emotionally.
With the intensity of everything at the moment, take it slow, if possible.
Take notice of what’s happening, what feels right and good to you an what you want to stay.
My recommendations
echos, bells
broth
clean linen
mushrooms? anything that relies on wind for pollination
ambience ..meditation, sitting in nature
the movie twister, old and new?
wizard of oz? book or movie? i haven’t read the book or seen twister but the wind energy idk I think there’s something there.
