Cosmic Dirt Horoscope: Wednesday March 30, Change in Communications, Mercury in Aries Retrograde

It's backkk.... yes it's that time again when we have the communication expert Mercury stop in his tracks to criss-cross our connections for next three weeks in retrograde motion. In short, the planet only appears to be going in backwards motion, so for us on earth, our communications and the way we transmit information will also be going in reverse. During the Mercury retrograde, phone calls, faxes, emails, texts, voicemails, letters in the mail, important papers that normally go out and move forward, suddenly become mysteriously lost, removed, deleted, and so on. Computers, mechanical appliances, cell phones, vehicles, appliances, and machinery do the unexplainable, by refusing to communicate back to us. Odd shutdowns, accidental flukes, information jumbled, data loss. And as we try to relate to one another, communication changes, shifting us from the typical highway where we convey information, to off-road short-cuts. The purpose for Mercury REtrograde is to REmember (what was communicated), REthink (ideas to REvise), REsolve (the problem and miscommunication), and REbroadcast (what we REally wanted to make known). As we move in 'reverse', we will also be steping backwards into memory lane, REmembering and REconnecting with individuals, situations, and problems from our past. Not only can things get wiry at this time, but it is also an opportunity (Jupiter in Aries) to change (Uranus in Aries) to REanalyze the discombobulated mess - so that we can REwire and REconnect. Which way? It will depend on its influence in your astrological chart, but also in where your head is at.How we RElate with our outside world is mirrored, to REview and REassess our OWN portion of the misunderstandings and breakdowns. Without clear communications and great listen skills, things fall apart. Just like when the brakes are screeching to communicate a problem, but we choose to not listen, assuming it will go away. We can make a statement to let someone know that there is a problem with our friendship/partnership, but no one is listening to the warning signals. As Mercury is in Aries, what we process and speak is typically forward, bold, and righteous. In retrograde, we may try to stifle our fumes and irritations, but we can be a hot-wired mess now which can develop into anger, disagreements, violent accusations, bossiness, arguments and bullying. Jupiter (humungous), Uranus (rebellious), and Sun (entitlement) add to the heat of Aries fire.Here's an interesting little story that is related to the energy right now... 'This person/stranger had an anonymous bozo of a screen name, no photo, and no introduction to me, but they wanted free personalized time regarding the Mercury Retrograde. They asked how this may also affect a friend's wedding during the retrograde. They also told me that I should write a topic on it (I guess like a mixed signal), because my readers will enjoy it, but bozo requested to be kept anonymous. This was all time consuming, one question turned into another question, special requests, etc - from someone who never chatted with me or let me get to know. I declined their 'need to know', but also let them know in an honest Sagittarius way that the 'whole proposal' sounded too sneaky and gossipy, and that I don't have the time or interest. They were thrown back that I used gossipy. Yes it is gossipy, meaning they have a genuine interest to get free information (at my expense) about someone else's business without permission (staying anonymous). They felt entitled to receive information  saying, "That's what astrological forums do", assuming that I should stop what I am doing, to volunteer my time and energy to slave over them. I shared again that sneaky and gossipy is not my gig, politely reminding them that I am probably not the best person to pursue for their 'needs'. Well this bozo was determined to slam me, "So it's not gossip if someone's paying you", and they closed the conversation and blocked me from their profile. This comes from a professional and adult. Where the heck did this come from? From Uranus, who is unexpected and shocking.It's a fact that I'm a professional service, and occasionally ignorant people feel they have a right to step up to the cash register and demand a free meal. It was the perfect example of Mercury rx in Aries. The renters of the Aries space have something to say too, Jupiter will supersize the ego, Uranus will defy common sense, and Sun will shine with self-absorption - and what is created is pushy people and bullies - now this is from those who choose to work with the lower energies of course. Take courageous steps to do find the right way and for the right reasons now. Create balance by putting yourself in someone else's shoes, rather than sticking your foot in your mouth. We also have Mars is in passive-aggressive Pisces, and Saturn retrograde in Libra - teaching lessons in manners, manners, and more manners.Later, Moon will enter dreamy Pisces, allowing us to flow with the waves into higher spiritual waters. Creativity, music, journaling, artistic projects, meditation, romance, and sleep are favorable.
