Moon Phases ~ Full Moon (waning) ~ 05/22/16

May 23, 2016 ~ Full Moon (waning) ~ During the Full Moon, a veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you "see" what is happening, you may become upset if you are experiencing the "same old same" rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, be sure to use the next New Moon phase to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

The conflict between self-determination and respecting people's boundaries reaches a crescendo today. Achieving results seems within reach as Mercury turns direct after three weeks of backtracking. But Mars is still retrograde and conflicts can escalate now that the angry red planet opposes the Sun. Meanwhile, the optimistic Sagittarius Moon reflects the big picture, creating problems that originate from sloppy thinking or incomplete planning.

Mercury Goes Direct . . . Yay!

Adios Retrograde! Planet Mercury is Moving Direct Today!

Mercury Direct

If you've spent the last three weeks or so feeling mentally scrambled, misunderstood or just plain indecisive, relief is here. That's because Mercury, the planet that rules the mind, turned direct on May 22, 2016, after having gone through another one of its retrograde phases.

Now that things are clearing up, get the answers you need with an In-Depth Reading from Gifted Guidance!

So, What Does it Mean When Mercury Goes Direct?

When Mercury is not operating smoothly there can be plenty of mishaps related to anything ruled by Mercury ~ whether its transportation, commerce or communication. Now that Mercury has stationed direct, it will need a few days to regulate its orbit and then you'll be good to go. Any delay, frustration or confusion surrounding Mercury-ruled matters will soon find resolution.

A planet changing motion is a potent phenomenon. Remember, Mercury has been out of its usual forward orbit for three weeks, so turning direct again will not be as easy as declaring "On your mark, get set, go!" and watching Mercury zoom out. Ahhh, if only it were that simple.

What really happens when a planet moves from retrograde to direct motion is more akin to waking up from a deep slumber. Mercury will need time to drink some cosmic coffee and fully regain consciousness.

Full Speed Ahead

It won't be until Mercury reaches the degree where it originally turned retrograde and then passes it that you will know Mercury truly has its full strength back. That tends to take a couple of weeks. But don't stress ~ this time frame is nothing at all like the Mercury Retrograde cycle.

In fact, now you will be ready to apply whatever it is you have learned during the retrograde period into your current reality. It only takes a few days of Mercury being back on track for you to notice the difference. From here on out the planet will get stronger every day!

What is interesting is that while Mercury will need time to regulate its orbit, the very day of its stationing direct can be a potent time. It is like Mercury will be jolted awake for a short time (remember waking up after the alarm late for work?!). During this day or even the next, it is likely you will experience incredible clarity about whatever issues you have been grappling with during Mercury Retrograde.

Be patient, though … it will take just a little more time before you are ready to execute your newfound lucidity with success.

In the meantime, now that Mercury is direct, over the next few days you are free to sign contracts, schedule vital meetings, have a significant conversation and make important decisions or purchases. Remain confident as you push ahead with anything that requires cerebral muscle.

Mercury finally has its mojo back!
