Hermetic Headlines:

Interior Doorway Opening Now

What creative project seeds shall we plant in our garden to bloom come the Full Moon of June 2nd? What thoughts to embody?

For whom do we want to be a voice, expression?

Our Earth Rocket Scout, “Messenger, ” recently completed its Mercury mission, disappearing behind Mercury,  never to emerge.
Mercury was at 29 +Taurus then, and figured, “you humans know all you need to know.”

A sufi tale tells of a man who happens upon a rock with a sign on it saying, “Turn me over.” So he does, and reads on the other side,”Why do you seek more knowledge when you do not use that which you already have?”

All retrogrades encourage: Re-Re-Re-Re respect, reverie, rejuvenate, reflect, release, redeem, re-connect, re-dedicate, re-combobulate
(please conjure more desirable “re’s.” Anything we’d like to reverse? (Neptune willing to help.)

Mercury will station intro retrograde as we convene 9:50 pm edt,
retrograding back to 4+ Gemini (on June 11th, when Neptune stations) which is Mars’ degree now,
“A radical magazine.”

Cultivating our capacity to speak of deep things in a conversationally encouraging manner.
Multi-media opportunities for collective blessing.

“Mercury crosses 3 times, first in forward motion, then retrograde, then in forward motion again. This triple crossing creates eddies in the currents of collective consciousness.
These represent themes which reverberate and echo most deeply, throughout the collective discourse.”

“Difficult things of the World can only be tackled when they are easy. Big things of the World can
only be achieved by attending to their small beginnings.” Lao Tzu, Tao Teh Ching

 

In order to understand the whole Mercury cycle in 3 dimensions, it is necessary to understand a few things about the astronomy of the planet Mercury.

 

1) because Mercury is an interior planet (between the Earth and Sun), from a geocentric or earth-centered pov Mercury never moves more than 27 degrees from the Sun. This means Mercury will always be in the same or adjacent sign to the Sun in any horoscope or astrology chart.

2) Mercury alternates which side of the Sun he can be found on in the horoscope over the process of 4 months, which is the time between retrogrades.

3) because the retrograde process is a process of Mercury switching sides with the Sun, Mercury visually appears both as Evening Star AND Morning Star in a Retrograde period of only 3 weeks!

 

The purpose of Mercury Rx is to combine the powers of Above (conscious) with those of the Below (unconscious) -ie to make the unconscious, conscious. Just as Mercury goes within, or between the Earth and the Sun during his retrograde, so should we go within ourselves in order to “wake up” to our own inner world.
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” ~Carl Gustav Jung

Let us explore and animate the : Emerald Tablet of Hermes

 

“True  without falsehood, certain and most true and most real: that which is above is like that which is below, to generate the miracles of the one thing. And as all things have been derived from that one, by the thought of that one, so all things are born from that one thing by adoption. The sun is its father, the moon its mother. Wind has carried it in its belly and the earth is its nurse. Here is the origin point of every perfection in the world. Its strength and power are absolute when changed into earth; separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, gently and with great care. It ascends from the earth to the heavens, and descends again to the earth to receive the power of the superior and the inferior things. By this means, you will attain the glory of the world. And because of this, all darkness will flee from you. Within this is the power, the force of all forces. For it will overcome all subtle things and penetrate every solid thing. Thus was the universe created. From this will be, and will emerge, admirable adaptations. For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistos, having three parts of the wisdom of the world. What I have said of the sun’s operation is accomplished.”
