Mercury Retrograde

A Look at Mercury Retrograde

Mercury, the Roman messenger of the gods, goes into retrograde two to three times a year (and sometimes even four).   Mercury usually moves faster than Earth around the sun but when Mercury starts to move slower than the Earth’s orbit, it creates the illusion that Mercury is moving backward. Unplugging and slowing down is the higher spiritual purpose behind this astrological phenomenon. Sometimes a Mercury retrograde gives us a second chance to get things right!

Full Moon (Blood Moon) Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: March 2025

The moon will be full in the early morning hours of Friday March 14 in the earthy sign of Virgo at 1:55 am CST. For this lunation the sun will be at 23 degrees of Pisces while the moon will be in the opposite sign of Virgo at 23 degrees. In astrology the moon is linked to our emotions and moods so when the moon is full we can feel full of emotions.
