Mercury Trine Retrograde Uranus...

today in Kilmore at 5.33pm. Mercury at 26 degrees and 32 minutes of Cancer, Retrograde Uranus at 26 degrees and 32 minutes of Pisces.

As you may be aware, Mercury is the planet of communication and connection with the people and environment around us: this connection is usually achieved through data and information being exchanged. This planet travelling through Cancer suggests that the way we achieve this connection is more emotionally based and psychic than usual. It seems that we absorb the information around us more at an unconscious level.

Uranus energy is a bit like a lightening bolt out of the blue and always reminds me of 'The Tower' card in the Tarot. It tends to revolutionise whatever it touches and awakens us to the truth! This planet (apparently) travelling backwards suggests that we need to have another mini shakedown in the areas/people represented by Uranus in our birth charts... especially if we have returned to the old ways of doing things or approaching life.

The combination of these two energies through a trine (this aspect suggests a removal of blockages and ease of connection) suggest that the people and themes represented by Mercury and Uranus are more likely to work well together than usual. It's almost as if there is a temporary truce between the two that means there is an ease of tension between them - especially if there have been difficulties in the past.

For example, let's say that you are represented by Mercury (Virgo Ascendant) and Retrograde Uranus is someone you normally don't get along with, or an ex-husband (Uranus transiting 7th). During the days around this aspect it is likely that the other person may want to go back over an old situation (retrograde Uranus), but this should go well for you (Mercury ruling Ascendant).
