I was wondering why yesterday, I kept being brought back to a photo I had taken a few years ago of a statue of Mercury.
So today I learn that Mercury is stationary and goes direct onThursday, what does that mean?
Well this video tells us that a day before and a day after will be wrapped up in this energy as Mercury starts moving again. So maybe this is a Flag for me to say that its time.
I met this statue of Mercury in Ireland in August 2017. The time was nice, I took my daughter over for a holiday and we had a great, and relaxing week. However during this holiday, actually on the day of this particular trip (photo), I became really ill with severe stomach cramps and I nauseous and vomiting. It took me two or three days to recover. It was such a painful day, so being drawn back to look at this photo is reminding me of it again and interestingly, this weekend, Sunday and Monday I have been really ill again, with deep and severe pains in my head and again nauseous but no vomiting.
Was I being flagged by Mercury and instructed to look at the events surrounding these periods and see if there is a link?
I looked back to August 2017, to see that during that time there was indeed a Mercury retrograde, in Virgo.

Because Mercury rules Virgo, the retrograde in August should prove interesting! The cycle begins with Pre-Shadow at 3:13 pm UTC* on July 24.
Mercury Retrograde station occurs at 1:00 am UTC*, on August 13, in Virgo (11o38"). Note that in North America, the station occurs on the evening of August 12.
Mercury Direct station occurs at 11:29 am Greenwich time on September 5 in Leo (28o25"), leaving the Post-Shadow at 3:59 pm UTC* on September 19.

So then I checked out "Why would it make me ill? actually sick". On Saturday just gone, I was again pushing and crossing my flimsy physical boundaries, using up all my resources (2nd House, see later) to get things done, to cover all bases, and I was sooo tired and wiped out, I staggered up the stairs and fell into bed.
As you can see, in August 2017, the retrograde was in Virgo, however, I was probably again, run ragged. I was dealing with BIG issues that USED UP all my resources (similar affliction with 2nd house) which was why I needed a holiday, when financially it wouldn't have been a great idea ...and actually What I needed was 2 weeks 'total' bed rest, as that can't happen I fell back onto a holiday in Ireland (the photo to which I my attention was drawn),
which was nice and the scenery is great, a beach and countryside. But when you have a teen on tow, and you get wrapped up close in Family issues energy, and having exerting walks up hills, which I love....it could be that I CHOSE 'wrong'...Maybe the WAY I MAKE CHOICES just isn't going to cut anymore.
Maybe I SHOULD have used that time to NURTURE ME and SEE my resources and value my time and life essence. But in truth my 2nd house of SELF VALUES, SELF EMPOWERMENT, and SELF FINANCES has been needing a Major shake up FOR YEARS....as I keep giving away all my energy. If I don't see the depth of value in my resources, they are up for grabs by any passing issues which need energy to drink.
Anyway I can't find which of my houses were affected by that mercury retrograde in August 2017, so I just looked at 2nd house as was true for this current retrograde.

2nd House:
If Mercury is retrograding through your 2nd house take time out to review matters pertaining to your resources, both financial and otherwise. This is a great time to catch up with unpaid bills and to get your finances in order. If you discover you have less money than you anticipated (which can happen at this time!), use the retrograde period to come up with a viable plan for money management from hereon in. This transit can be a wake-up call to pay more attention to what you have, what you don’t have and how best to use the resources at your disposal. It’s also a good time to develop gratitude for life’s blessings, rather than simply using them up as they arise. The 2nd house also relates to the body, so take good care of your health during this transit. If you feel tired, rest. If you feel ill, don’t push through but instead do what your body needs to heal. It is, after all, our most precious resource and our relationship with it can reflect our wider attitude towards the physical world. Through nurturing our body we can learn to nurture our environment and those within it: all important contributory factors to our quality of life.
Here’s How the March 2019 Mercury Retrograde Will Effect Your Zodiac Sign
Happy Astrological New Year, sky lovers!
March is the time to get this party started, but prepare to add a beotch and a half to that guest list. That’s right, Mercury is making its triannual retrograde at 29 degrees 38 minutes of Pisces on March 5th and won’t go direct until the 28th.
Mercury rules intellect, education, communication, and all matters of the mind.
You need not worry, however. If we know someone is bound to crash our party, we plan around it and even reschedule, right?
Stagnation and frustration most often accompany us during retrogrades. However, Mercury is the blessing in disguise that gives us that little extra time we didn’t know we needed. We’re given an opportunity to perhaps fix the little faults of our plans and better prepare ourselves for certain events or even grander opportunities. It’s a time to reconfigure and even clean out our energetic space to welcome abundance, which is why we look at where Venus is in respect to this retrograde.
Depending on which house Mercury is in on your personal natal chart is where he is bound to crash your party. Additionally, those with sun, moon, and/or rising signs within 26 to 30 degrees of Pisces will also most strongly feel the effects.
Your sun sign will resonate, more or less, with what’s going on. I specifically stress you know and check your ascendant sign for further clarification. Your natal house progression is based on where the sun was in respect to the eastern horizon (sun rise or set) which can only be configured with your exact birth time.

To skip to your retroscope instead of reading about Mercury in Pisces, look below for your sign.
Mercury is in Pisces: the sign of spiritual closure, dreams, and transcendence.
This energy is wishy-washy, but strangely it’s also heavy. Things may move at a pace a lot quicker than you were expecting. You may find different outlets for escaping certain responsibilities or things that must be addressed to move forward. Quite frankly, it might be overwhelming at first.
With this full moon in Virgo, this energy will spin many of us into harsh self-criticism when we can’t keep up. One thing to take from this retrograde is that we should be improving ourselves and lives every day through the little choices we make and how good we are to ourselves, other people, and just presenting ourselves with grace and honesty.
This is what the Piscean energy is about, baby. If you long to achieve the life that is true to you, you must sit with your emotions, both good and bad. Own them as part of you. Let it soften you. Extract the other emotions, thoughts, or parts of your life that aren’t going to make it with you into this next cycle.

For how Mercury retrograde pulls you back see your sign in the Mercury retrograde and loving this for Aquarius in Retrograde, So this is what my Mercury Flag is waving at me.
Money, yeah, wishy washy, ready to take a leap of faith, yeah....
Aquarius (January 20th to February 18th): Stop, drop, and bank roll.
Aquarius, have you been wasting time on a not-so-fulfilling job or source of income? This retrograde is firing up your 2nd house of finances, material possessions, and self-esteem, with Venus following behind in your 1st house of appearance, first impressions, and the self.
Many of you are ready to take a new leap of faith in what you want to achieve for yourself. You’ve been silently building on something you want for yourself, whereas the last few years with the nodes in Leo and Aquarius came with painful karmic lessons that posed its challenges for you. Thankfully this has mostly passed, but some bad financial habits are bound to backfire for you. However, all is not lost if you’re simply mindful of what you do during this retrograde period.
Some of you within the last year or so have moved somewhere new in result of the aforementioned; likewise, for many of you, it came with a spark to initiate your dreams into reality. Now you may feel financially burdened with the costs of making this happen. Some of you have been financially codependent, whether it be with a partner or even a job that isn’t compensating what you’re worth.
This retrograde may intensify pre-existing frustrations with your self-image because you thrive best when you rely on yourself. You want to shine like the star you are, but how do you when everyone is pulling your life’s strings and orchestrating the show for you? You’re just longing to step into your own power and make things happen on your terms.
Don’t worry, Aquarius, because things are happening! Time to reconfigure that mindset. Use this time to discipline yourself financially and personally to where you can invest in yourself. The universe is feeling mad love towards you this year. Break from this pattern of behavior and watch your returns grow more than you imagined.
