Any retrograde planet is a planet that’s sleeping. All living things need rest, and planets do too, so you’ll find that all planets go retrograde. The Sun and moon don’t, but those heavenly bodies aren’t planets, of course. A retrograde planet will not emit its best energy, so while it is out of phase, we are left to our own devices and do the best we can without that planet’s help.

Mercury rules communication, commerce, thinking, perception, negotiation, and contracts, as well as electronics and all moving parts. The world spins on the very areas in life that Mercury rules. We need Mercury to be in top shape because if it is not, human interaction with the performance of computers and machines tend to go haywire, as counter-intuitive as that statement may sound.

Tomorrow night is the Solstice and the Moon Illusion will be occurring. This will signify a major shift in the lunar cycle and if enough people are out looking at the sky admiring the same magnificent natural event, I have no doubt that an amazing shift will occur in our collective consciousness. That may sound pretty hippie-dippie, but if this cold-hearted pragmatist can see the mystic value of sharing a little romantic moonlight with friends then I have little doubt that you do too.

So before the sunsets tomorrow, call or email your friends and loved ones and let them know that something wonderful and natural and good is happening in the world for once. Invite them to join you, even if you’re just gonna peek your head outside to take a glance. The important thing to remember is that as you stare up at that majestic celestially sexual body is that you won’t be alone.

Best of all, it’s FREE and EASY! The price of admission is merely eyes and a view of the skies.

OooowwwoooooooooOOO!!!!!!

p.s. Anyone in NYC who’d like to join me and my friends, I’ve decided that my best vantage will be Corlears Hook Park. I’ve never been there, but judging by the map, it should be a fantastic view, plus I dig the vibe of its history. According to the U.S. Navy’s site, the moonrise is set to occur at 8:07, so I’m thinking of getting down there at about 7:45 to stake out a spot. Drop me a line if you wanna join the caravan.
