Mercury Retrograde, March 22nd 2018 ~ Love or Lust ~ March 21, 2018


By astrologyking

Mercury retrograde 2018 starts on March 22nd at 16° Aries and ends on April 15th at 4° Aries. Mercury retrograde March 2018 increases the potential for communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays and lost items. Mercury retrograde 2018 conjunct Venus means more of your thoughts and communications will turn to matters of love and affection. There will be a focus on any communication problems you have with your partner or communication problems may arise if you are dating.

However, this is a good time for making new friends because of more more social interaction in your daily life. Mercury retrograde usually brings you into contact with old friends so Mercury retrograde 2018 conjunct Venus brings the possibility of meeting ex partners. New friends or lovers may trigger feelings of déjà vu because of your past life memories.

Mercury retrograde 2018 carries on a theme of sexual abuse and power imbalances in sexual relationships that began with the January 2018 lunar eclipse. Before more detail on Mercury retrograde March 2018, you will find information about natal Mercury retrograde and Mercury retrograde in transit.

Natal Mercury Retrograde Meaning

Natal Mercury retrograde means there was a problem with how you thought and communicated in an earlier life. Perhaps you gave someone bad advice that had critical repercussions. Perhaps you were prone to making costly mistakes. Maybe you wrote slanderous material about someone in a book or newspaper, or verbally teased and abused people.

Whatever the circumstances of the previous significant incarnation, you come into this life with those bad memories etched in your soul. You probably don’t recognize them as memories but as déjà vu or unexplained guilt. Especially when young, there can be a repeating theme of challenging events related to your past.

The aim of Mercury retrograde in your birth chart is for you to perfect those areas of thought and communication which once let you down. As your communication skills improve with experience, your karmic debt will be repaid and you can get off the roundabout.

Mercury retrograde in your natal chart can show as learning difficulties, especially with reading, writing and comprehension. You could be a shy, quite person whose thoughts have turned in. Hesitant to speak up for yourself, you may miss out on many opportunities in life. This difficulty in expressing yourself can make you feel awkward in company and lead to low self-esteem. You may experience teasing or verbal abuse, be nagged and criticized, or fall victim to slander and lies. Contracts may also cause problems and like so many things, lead to complications further down the track.

Mercury retrograde only last for about three weeks so Mercury is going to turn direct at some stage in your progressed chart (where one day equals one year). After a couple of years you will notice that your communication style improves and you can express yourself more freely. However, the opposite can also occur and someone with Mercury direct in their natal chart may experience progressed Mercury retrograde later in life. I experienced this from age 13 to 37 and it was very profound. I even stopped reading books.

If you have Mercury retrograde in your natal or progressed chart then you can expect to make more rapid progress during transits of Mercury retrograde.

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Meaning

Transiting Mercury retrograde is a regular cycle occurring three or four times a year for about 24 days. While this is more frequent than any other planet, Mercury is still only retrograde 19% of the time. This is far less than Jupiter outwards, but more than Venus and Mars.

The Mercury retrograde phase is just one part of the Mercury retrograde cycle. The whole cycle includes Mercury going direct, retrograde, and direct again over the same degrees, or the retrograde zone. The two direct phases are called the shadow periods. The illustration below shows the apparent retrograde motion of Mercury as seen from Earth.

Mercury retrograde brings communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays and lost items. There is a feel of a difficult Mercury–Saturn aspect about Mercury retrograde. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. While the Mercury retrograde period might be good for flicking through old photo albums, it is generally considered more of a nuisance than a benefit.

Mercury retrograde can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Take some time out if you start to feel overwhelmed by the hectic pace. Double-check all of your emails and posts on Facebook before hitting the send button.

Business negotiations will be in a state of flux during Mercury retrograde so avoid signing contracts. Some important details will not yet be available, and other parties won’t be reliable or honest. If going on a road trip then make sure you get your car serviced beforehand. The riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication and transport are the few days either side of the exact retrograde and direct stations. However, care should still be taken during the retrograde period.

Mercury Retrograde 2018

Mercury enters the retrograde zone on March 8, 2018 at 04°46′ Aries. Now until Mercury stationary retrograde is called the first shadow period. During this time you will get an idea of the thinking, communication or transport issues that will arise during the retrograde phase.

Mercury stationary retrograde on March 22, 2018 at 16°54′ Aries. The chart below shows Mercury conjunct Venus which makes love and relationships major themes of Mercury retrograde 2018. It means you will be thinking more about love and companionships and be wanting to talk more about it. It puts you in touch with what you love about a person but Mercury retrograde March 2018 conjunct Venus makes it harder to actually tell that person how you feel.

This is a good time for making new friends because there should be more social interaction in your daily life. Mercury retrograde usually brings you into contact with old friends so Mercury retrograde March 2018 conjunct Venus increases the chance of meeting ex partners. New friends or lovers may trigger feelings of déjà vu because of your past life memories.

Mercury square Pluto brings deep thinking and intensifies your social interactions. But it also exposes your darkest thoughts and beliefs such as bigotry, nationalism and racism. Avoid extreme ideas and trying to force your opinions on others. There will be more news stories about teasing and bullying at school and on the Internet.

Even if you hold a moderate point of view, there is a risk that you will use extreme or coercive methods to talk someone into something or change their mind. The more extreme your idea, or the more force you use to convince others, the more criticism and conflict you will meet.

Venus square Pluto can have a profound effect on your love life. Love may turn to lust as power and control issues may arise in existing relationships. Simmering tension may come to the surface as some manipulative behavior like jealousy or obsessiveness. At the root of such behaviors would be a deeply buried fear or insecurity about not feeling loved or valued. Of course, it may be you who is subject to such behaviors from a partner.  Threats and ultimatums are possible if either partner feels smothered or controlled.

An unhealthy relationship may breakdown which would be very painful or dramatic. A well based relationship will withstand the intensity of this transit. In this case, there would still be a transformation undertaken within the relationships dynamics.

New love is possible now and it could seem like instant attraction. However, you must also realize that such an infatuation may lead to an abusive or even violent attachment. Old cases of sexual abuse will be exposed and damage the egos and reputations of many men and some women. Mercury retrograde conjunct Venus square Pluto also suggests an increase in the reporting of child sexual abuse especially by school teachers, as well as abusive insestuous relationships.

Mercury Stationary Direct on April 15, 2018 at 04°46′ Aries. The chart below shows only one major Mercury aspect,  Mercury square Saturn. This suggests the intensity of Mercury retrograde March 2018 may leave you in a serious frame of mind. Communicating your plans and ideas will be difficult because of negative thinking and misunderstandings.

Mercury Direct April 2018

You may have some unanswered questions or serious decisions to make but seek trusted, professional advice if you are involved in contracts, business or legal matters. Do not rely on the words of others, and be careful with your own. There may be some distance or separation in close relationships. This, together with gloomy thoughts, bad news or loneliness, can have a negative effect on your mental well-being.

Mercury leaves the retrograde zone on May 03, 2018 at 16°54′ Aries.

If Mercury retrograde 2018 affects your decan I will discuss it in your monthly horoscope. For more detail on how Mercury retrograde March 2018 aspects your birth chart, see Mercury Transits.

WE MUST GO BEYOND THE SURFACE & LOOK DEEP INSIDE ~ Dec. 10, 2017


Lisa Transcendence Brown has written another beautiful article keeping us aware of how it is that each of will reach a point where our intent becomes almost an unconscious drive to honor LOVE, INSPIRATION, AND UNITY.

You see, it is inherent for each of us to go into the depths of our hearts and dredge up darkness and 3D living we may still hold in our hearts. So…please read this article, think about your heart (only YOU can do this), and…

InJoy!

WE MUST GO BEYOND THE SURFACE & LOOK DEEP INSIDE

by Lisa Transcendance Brown, published on Awakening to Remembering Newsletter, on December 9, 2017

 

Aloha Divine Presence in a body/form,So many are SURPRISED at how DEEP this is taking them, “thinking” all of “that” was resolved, all of “that” was gone… not even aware “any of that” was buried/deeply hidden, suppressed somewhere inside… and “struggling” to deal/handle it all, as there’s no controlling anything when our hearts FINALLY OPEN UP and the floodgates open…

The beauty is we don’t need to control it. We learn how to flow with it, how to honor it and how to move through it all/process it all quicker and easier… every time “more” emerges/becomes visible/comes up for cleansing the cellular body template. Control was the way of the old. Honoring ourselves is the way of the “new”. Loving ourselves (and each other) is too. Respect on a deeper level, kindness on a deeper level, consideration on a deeper level and unity on a deeper level, these are too. Yet, before, we didn’t have this capability, to go to these DEPTHS, because there was so much human conditioning/programming “in the way”. So much we held onto out of fear and lack, yet with each blast of light, with each cosmic wave of love that floods our atmosphere, planet and bodies, that all changes.

Inner dimensions/planes first. We nurture these, we connect from deep within, we surround ourselves with all things LOVE, INSPIRATION and that which supports and brings MORE UNITY through for all of us. Why, because it’s so easy IF we do.

As we do, we start to awaken, excited and ready to embrace a new day. Inspired and creativity are our focus and how we contribute and make a difference here. Every day, we touch all as LOVE, every exchange we are THE LIGHT, every moment is an OPPORTUNITY, if we see it this way and we greet all without human limits and conditions of “how” we are willing to be a part of NEW EARTH. That is a human ego limit too.

When I was coming through the years of “learning” to understand, “learning” how all worked, REMEMBERING all as LOVE and shifting my entire reality from separation (ego) to unity (love), I had to INTENTIONALLY focus my energy on HOW I SHOWED UP every day to fulfill my own SOUL purposes and roles here. I had to “learn” how to let go of my own human “want something” in exchange and just show up. I had to be the ANGEL in form, supporting others as love, spending the day with the homeless, feeding them, listening to them, loving them, driving them to hospitals, giving them “my last money” to achieve THE FEELING that would IGNITE MY OWN DESIRE to contribute/make a difference more. Until I was able to HOLD THIS FEELING all of the time, I had to do this, every day, to “learn” to understand, one of the reasons why we chose form on this physical earth.

Then I found events that were touching others lives, and I volunteered to help out. I’d wash dishes and wait on those in attendance that “needed” to be in loving atmospheres to FEEL what COMMUNITY and kindness, happiness and sharing was. I’d work the door, collecting donations, I’d support the one holding the events in any way that I could. I was not in any need. I had enough for my needs to be met on a daily basis and while not physically abundant in other’s eyes, I was fully abundant INSIDE. I lived in such PEACE, GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION, in every moment. I saw the GIFT in all and I TREATED all as a GIFT in return. I learned to RESPECT OTHER’S ENERGY, being GENEROUS every time I experienced someone doing for others, using their gifts/natural abilities, to HONOR, RESPECT, RECOGNIZE and show APPRECIATION for them. It’s important that we all do this. I do it every day, in every exchange. I’m present and connected with each that I come into contact with. Because this is how WE LIVE.

At first, I used everything I had to support others, I learned to share. Then when I “proved myself”, that I had dissolved those ego aspects of myself and could live in UNITY and understood “why” we had “things”, then I “got more”. Because I could be “trusted” (human aspect), not to separate off anymore. I learned to USE things to support all in my reality and then 1/2 of everything went to others for quite awhile, until I could “learn” how USING RESOURCES were to support us all, not just for “our selves”. I found others who had less and I donated to support, I fed those that I met that could use a free meal, I did free speaking events, taught free classes, donated cases of books to assist with awakening more, because it SUPPORTED THE WHOLE. The bigger picture. For what we do is for us all.

I charged to keep balance in the amount that I did for free. To raise the money to pay those working, to create a space for me to work-in-service and those who stepped forth to assist/support me, as well as those SOUL family/STAR family members that came into my reality naturally that I had the opportunity to assist on a more personal level, to strengthen our NEW EARTH GRIDWORK here. I still do, however is appropriate, because it’s HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES….

Everything we do/are is contributory to THE BIGGER PICTURE and we don’t go unconscious or forget this. We REMEMBER in every way and we HOLD UNITY LOVE CONSCIOUSNESS from our CORE.

First, I had to “learn” to get up every day and FOCUS MY OWN ENERGY on accomplishing, contributing and integrating constantly, how to maneuver infinite dimensions simultaneously and tune every one of them to the highest vibration myself. I had to CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN and overcome my own human’ness, my own lack and the lack of those all around me that insisted on holding onto the OLD WAYS STILL and then I had to finally choose to MOVE ON and KEEP MOVING ON, into higher vibrational/dimensional timelines by holding/anchoring those constantly here. As a Gatekeeper & Gridkeeper, our roles mean we won’t COMPROMISE in any way, yet we can hold the highest in place and allow those all around to STEP UP and STEP FORTH (materialize) into our physical reality to support us in CREATING MORE together and individually too. We don’t have to compromise our realities, when we all work together as LOVE. ♥

This photo is a beautiful depiction of the many ways we experience everything. Climbing those Mountains and FLOWING as a SOUL. The Light Encoded SOLaris, the water, the heights that we achieve as we OVERCOME all of our own human’ness/programming from within ourselves. PEACE is restored, clarity is restored, unity is restored AS we CHOOSE to identify our own separation/ego programs that kept us separated off before. These create the limits that we face daily, until we SEE them within ourselves. AS WE REAL-EYES where we held limits, conditions and were not ready to fully be open, not ready to fully come together and VOLUNTEER to support, not fully ready to JUMP IN and get our hands dirty (yep, we gotta) and do whatever we could to make a difference, then we are not quite ready yet… and this becomes our own limits here.

Every day, we are faced with choices, challenges and opporUNITY, a multitude of them …. in order to dissolve our own ego/separation/unconsciousness and UNIFY inside so that OUT THERE THIS CAN OCCUR TOO…. yet where we are not ready yet, where we hold back, where we let our head get in the way, where we keep the old stories/excuses/timelines going, then these become our EXPERIENCES here.

This PASSAGEWAY IS HUGE…. On November 28th we activated between 60-80 new StarGate Codes, which is so far beyond what we’ve ever achieved before. Every day since, more codes, more to synchronize, more being aligned in the most beneficial and necessary ways for us all. This 12/12 Gateway Opening, that can begin any moment now (usually 2-3 days prior here), it begins the next phase of RE-ALIGNING REALITIES through showing each what is not in alignment, while opening up more to be visible, more to be available and more to be possible too. Each’s action/non-action/vibration dictates, each’s hesitation, each’s “going for it”, each’s “git’r’done” energy does too. Yet, where we COME FROM MATTERS…. because if we come from lack/separation then the “outcome” is a RESULT of this. If we come from FULLY UNIFICATION – INSIDE AND OUTSIDE – then ALIGNMENT IS EASY…

We must align the inside and the outside and TUNE ALL TO THE HIGHEST VIBRATION… in EVERY MOMENT, not just when it suits us or when we are seeking, because eventually, you stop seeking and you BEcome the ONE, you become ALL again. As you BEcome this, then you are the one that is the Light, you are the ONE that shows the way (WayShower) through your actions and your words. You are the one STEPPING UP and showing up and transmitting out a frequency to connect with others doing this too!

NEW EARTH is where we UNITE as LOVE, as the ONES, the WAYSHOWERS who are READY to hold the highest everything together here. Yet we have to ACHIEVE this within ourselves in order to call forth those COLLECTIVE REALITIES here.

Everyone of us have the CAPABILITY to achieve ONENESS, WHOLENESS and PURITY in how we live our lives. Everyone of us have a multitude of OPPORTUNITIES to do this, when we are truly OPEN to stepping into our highest roles here. Every ONE of us are only limited by that which we keep bringing forth, maintaining, holding onto from INSIDE, that represents a fear/judgment/lack mentality program that we did not know we were transmitting/running before. Each one of us have the capABILITY to CHOOSE. The more human (ego), the more we “wait” for timeline collapses to occur to PUSH us into releasing all of that and embracing the unknown (yet it is known deep deep deep inside). WE don’t need to be PUSHED anymore, we get it. WE just STEP UP…. and we come together, while human aspects separate off, so that they can see how SEPARATION plays out in the EXTERNAL…. so that they can choose unity-love from deep inside too.

On December 19th/20th (linear time for reference point only), Saturn RETURNS HOME in CAPRICORN. Talk about a game changer for us all. Previously was “school” and this is “graduation” for many, as all is stepped up huge for the next 3 years, where our “house” is under “NEW RULE”.  Being a Cap, this is EXCITING, because of how this correlates to all. Yet, this means huge changes, so all have to be on-board and ready for NEW, ready to unity, ready to SHIFT ALL REALITIES INTO A MUCH HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS ONE, as the old cannot come forth… these Gateways are Vibrational, so the “lower” vibrations can’t PASS THROUGH… these vortexes that we travel through might not be visible to many, yet they are VERY REAL.

Stargates and passageways become a “new way of living” for multi-dimensionals on a physical plane of existence. Everything is an initiation (test) in order to “cross over” or “pass through” to “arrive” in/on a higher dimensional plane of existence, a higher timeline and collectively this has expanded exponentially, so keep looking for that which represents change/new, keep seeing “how all things come to be”, keep focused on what you are CREATING with your ENERGY, your thoughts, your actions, your offerings/contributions, your reSOURCEs, your everything…. because every little bit matters. ♥

I love you!!!!! I invite you to JUMP with us constantly and UNITE in more ways now too. I invite you to GET CREATIVE ON HOW, because you RECEIVE based upon how you transmit out. Expand beyond your linear mind and GO QUANTUM, dissolving all cords of attachment to anything at all. What do care where/how all comes forth, as long as it does? And it will if you are putting in the dedicated work on a daily basis, however this is appropriate/presents. If you sit around “waiting”, it takes longer to receive, unless you are upgrading/integrating/honoring your body for the “work” that it needs to do on a cellular level to vibrate into higher dimensional timelines physically. The rest of the time, we are active, in every way, in ways that count. Small things “grow” into bigger things. Re-birthing ourselves, we do start at the bottom again, learning all new ways and “growing up” to become our highest aspects EMBODIED in physical form here. This is a process, a gazillion of them, that cycle through continual processes too. Recognize the PORTALS you are to open yourself and those that open up for you to COMMIT and JUMP. Sometimes they are soft and subtle, sometimes the opposite. When you “take them all”, you’ll be plenty busy and you won’t have “time” to live in lack or procrastinate or say “no” to opportunity as it presents. You’ll be busy anchoring all new realities in the physical individually and together too! It’s kind of awesome! ♥

This month I am “randomly” supporting & contributing, while I accomplish in huge ways in the physical on a daily basis (as usual) too, as a Gatekeeper/Gridkeeper here. Newsletters, writings, videos as I am able to get these out for all to support, inspire and share light encoded intelligence/knowledge as appropriate too! I’m working to provide more by way of new opportunities for those ready to embrace on all new levels in 2018 too. In the meantime, there are a multitude of resources/tools already offered. Utilize these and I’ll announce more as we go. ♥

p.s. There’s no one to “do this for you”. Our human loves to “think” we are incapable and can’t. It “stops” at hurdles and obstacles, not realizing they are there for a reason. It’s a part of our EXPANSION PROCESS here. If it’s important, you’ll find a way. You won’t believe the old constructs anymore. You’ll bring them down yourself from inside and build new ones. This is just a part of how we CREATE more NEW Earth REALities to EXPERIENCE here. We make them up ourselves…. :) Gotta get creative and break out of those linear boxes though! ♥
