Mercury Direct

Other than the heavenly objects that we can see without too much effort, the Sun and the Moon, the tiny planet of Mercury is the easiest to understand from an astrological standpoint. When Mercury goes backward (retrograde), we enter a period of internal contemplation, and when Mercury goes forward (direct), our communication amongst each other improves.

Over the weekend, Mercury stalled (from our perspective) and began to move in a forward motion. From our perspective this happened in the constellation of Gemini in the Cancer area of the sky. Robert Wilkinson describes this event in the Aquarius Papers as:

"A quickening of the ability to coordinate, put things together, understand the whole and the parts, the process and the larger cycles. "

Mercury will continue to accelerate for the next 10 weeks or so. What are you doing to better understand the world and communicate with other over the next couple months?
