“Call me crazy, but Mercury retrograde doesn’t scare me. In fact, I may be one of the few astrologers I know who actually looks forward to those three weeks in every Mercury orbit when we here on this planet end up with a ringside seat to the most famous of cosmic optical illusions.

Article Review
I thought this article was well written, with great examples and teaching metaphores, using the science of astronomy to make it solid, giving a realistic, polished view of Mercury in a successful application. I also think the Virgo/Gemini combination is a great person to explain it (takes one to know one). Our great nation (the USA) was founded by the best minds of that time, several of whom were known to be Freemasons, who should have been well-versed in astrological lore. The USA was born under a Mercury retrograde and 233 years later, look at what we’ve accomplished! I would like to believe those great men knew the energies available. This was not a mistake. I’ve done months of research on the energies available, on all the events/charts that led to the establishment of our government, the men who participated. Mercury is so dominant throughout all those charts and through the inaugurals of the presidents, direct and retrograde, and in my choice of USA charts, it is the ruler of the Virgo rising sign. That’s a retrograde USA chart ruler.
In addition one of the the three dominant themes in our USA chart and our presidents is Mercury opposite Pluto. I’ve done a lot with Mercury in many of its faces in my book: Presidents of Hope and Change and will do even more with my future book on the balance of the presidents. Marguerite, I thank you and invite you to my website for a free sample of both my book and free astrological research.
