1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and welcome back to Coast to Coast. Leslie McGuirk

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: back with us her book The Power of Mercury. Author

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: of this incredible book. She's a professional astrologer more than

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: thirty years experience. She is a frequent presenter at the

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Red Mountain SPA, which is in Mexico. She can explain

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: just about everything, and nature has a pattern like a

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: tree trunk or a snowflake, and we have a pattern

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: as well as a human an astrological chart as well.

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: Leslie brings astrology to life so that you can use

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: it to help better understand your place in the world.

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: And we're going to explain some things you might be

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: able to do by going to her website a little

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: bit later on, and she'll be doing some Mercury retrograde

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: stories with you later when we take calls. But Leslie,

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: welcome back, and I'm glad you're with us today. I

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: hope to bring clarity to everyone. And by the way, George,

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: it's my birthday. I'm just six minutes into it. I

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: was just ready to say that to you. I know,

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: it's so exciting and guess what. I was born during

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: mercury retrograde, so these are my best times. Good for you,

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: and well, happy birthday on behalf of everybody listening to

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast tonight. That's so cool. Yeah, it's cool

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: to be talking about birthdays when you've actually got yours

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: at the very moment. I was talking to our executive

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: producer Lisa Lyon a couple of weeks ago, and I said, Lisa,

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: there's something going on here. People are acting strange. Things

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: are happening very weirdly. What do you think's happening. What's happening?

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: And she just said, mercury retro grade. Let me get Leslie,

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: mercury retrograde. That's it. So, first of all, do you,

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: as an astrologer, do you agree with me that people

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: are acting weird right now? Yes, But it's not just

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: that one planet. We live in an electromagnetic universe, and

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: there are other planets that are also affecting us right now,

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: and there's more than just one rock in space that's

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: making everything a little bit crazy. But for sure, when

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: mercury goes retrograde, about eighty percent of the population is

38
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: going to feel the effects of that, and make everyone

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: feel more squirrely. But the tricky thing is that twenty

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: percent of the population was born during mercury grade, just

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: like I was. So this is actually our good time,

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: So it's really important for people to understand the difference.

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: But even though it's my good time, if everyone else

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: feels like they're going crazy, it's still going to affect me. Well.

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Mercury retrograde had three, will have three in twenty nineteen

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: March fifth to the twenty eighth, July seventh to August two,

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: which we're in right now, and then October thirty first,

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: as we start Halloween to November twentieth as well. I

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: gave a little description of what it is technically, but

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: in terms of astrologically, what does mercury retrograde really mean?

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Leslie so in astrological language, which is what astrology is.

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: It's a language of symbols, and humans are narrative creatures,

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: and we need to understand how this caused. Mixed soup

54
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: works and Mercury is the planet of communication. It tells

55
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: us how we think, how we talk, how we communicate.

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: So if someone wants to go on the Internet right

57
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: now and read what's going on with mercury retrograde. What

58
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: you're going to find. Most astrologers are saying, do not travel,

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: do not sign a contract, do not buy a piece

60
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: of technology. Basically, you're supposed to completely shut down. And

61
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm one of the few astrologers that thinks that that's

62
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: really dangerous and not healthy. What it means for people

63
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: and why everyone feels kind of haywire, is that everything

64
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: in the area of communication is going to feel different

65
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: than it normally does. So I'm going to give you

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: a story to help people understand this. Pad When my

67
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: mom was alive, she lived in a gated community in Florida,

68
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: and there was a couple across the street from her

69
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: who we were one day talking about restaurants to go to,

70
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: and everyone they mentioned was just north of where they lived,

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: and I said, you ever head south? And this is

72
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: what they said to me, Well, when we get to

73
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: Route one, we only turn left. And I said, wait

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: a minute, you've lived here for fifteen years. You've never

75
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: once turned right and they said no. So I thought

76
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: to myself, Wow, they have gotten into a pattern. And

77
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: they literally we're not even curious or open to turning right.

78
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: And what mercury retrograde does is it forces us to

79
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: go right. Most of us are very comfortable with our

80
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: patterns and our routines, and mercury retrograde, I think, is

81
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: like the super fantastic time when we are able to

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: break the pattern and do something different, and that means

83
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: we won't get calcified, we won't get stuck. Or another

84
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: way to look at it is pretend you're a car

85
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: and most of us like to drive forward right. We

86
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: want to go and get to where we want to go.

87
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: During mercury retrograde, you actually get to put your car

88
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: in reverse. So is that a negative thing? I don't

89
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: think so. If you're in your garage, you're going to

90
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: be really happy they can put it in verse. Otherwise

91
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: you can't get out. And if we didn't have these

92
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: periods that happen three times a year when it goes retrograde,

93
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: we would all be just like that couple who only

94
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: turns left. So people have to start reframing their thinking

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, you may be uncomfortable because you've never

96
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: gone right, but it's actually a really good thing. And

97
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: if you were born with it mercury retrograde, it means

98
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: you're normally turning right all the time when everyone else

99
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: is going left, and then everything gets backwards and forwards,

100
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: and that's what causes the confusion, because it's not our

101
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: habitual way of being. Some people think and blame mercury

102
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: retrograde for the bad things that are happening in their lives.

103
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: We'll talk about again the weird, strange things that are

104
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: happening now, But is that accurate. It is to a degree.

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: It does get more strange out there, but I want

106
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: people to not get freaked out about it. I don't

107
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: think it's necessarily negative. I think it's the universe's way

108
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: of of keeping us alert and awake. And I think

109
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: that all the words that begin with an R, which

110
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: is what retrograde is. It's an R E word. It

111
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: means those are the words we're supposed to be implementing

112
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: into our life during a mercury retrograde period. So reflect, renew,

113
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: re energize, all of those are very positive words. And

114
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: without these periods, we would become what I call adult zombies,

115
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: and we just are not able to shift and be nimble.

116
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: And I think our souls need a little bit of

117
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: this mercury retrograde period once in a while, just to

118
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: keep us awake and alerts. Because it caught your attention. George,

119
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: you were not born during Mercury retrograde, so when it happened,

120
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: you were like, wait a minute, something's funky. So what

121
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: you should do is have compassion for those of us

122
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: who were born during Mercury retrograde. If the minute it

123
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: goes direct, we feel the way you do when it's retrograde.

124
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: So most of our life we feel this crazy energy.

125
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: Interesting thing about planet Mercury ruling communication, travel contracts, automobiles,

126
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: and things like that. Sunday, I flew back to Saint

127
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: Louis from Denver after we taped our Beyond Belief television programs.

128
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: Sat on the runway in Denver for an hour because

129
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: of the possibility of bad weather and clogged up traffic,

130
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: and I'm going gosh, and then all of a sudden,

131
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: it done to me. I'm in Mercury retrograde. Does that

132
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: have anything to do with that, because they does. Yeah,

133
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: they tell you not to trump. I sat by the

134
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: way in Rule thirteen, and that doesn't bother me, you know,

135
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: I just I go right in and do my thing.

136
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: But so it's true because you were stuck. Basically, you

137
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: had to reflect, you had to sit in your seat

138
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: on that runway, and that's what happened. Is it's just

139
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: like weather. What are you going to do about it?

140
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: You have to be able to adjust to these slower

141
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: times too, when you're being forced to go the way

142
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: you didn't want to go. You were forced in that

143
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: moment on that runway to make that right hand turn

144
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: that that couple didn't want to do. And it's not

145
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: necessarily a bad thing. I have a client who wanted

146
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: to get married and they were panicked because they picked

147
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: a date that was during mercury record and I said, listen,

148
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: we have to look at the bigger picture. It's not

149
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: just that one planet. We have to look at your

150
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: Venus and Mars, which are the planets of your sexuality

151
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: in your love life, and we need to look at

152
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: what Pluto and Saturn in the outer planets. I think

153
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: those planets are much more indicative of bigger life changes

154
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: that happen. Mercury retrograde is more of these inconveniences, but

155
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: it's not usually something that's long lasting. It just lasts

156
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: for that short amount of time when it's retrograde, and

157
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: people can go to your website right now and get

158
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: their own mercury retrograde dozodiac sign? Can't? They? They can?

159
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: And I believe that knowing your mercury sign is actually

160
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: more important than knowing your son sign. It's a deeper,

161
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: deeper level of understanding the wiring of a person. And

162
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: where it comes most in handy is understanding your relationships

163
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: with other people, because if you have a compatible mercury

164
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: sign placement with someone close to you in your life,

165
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot easier. So like yours

166
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: is in Taurists, So anybody who has mercury and Taurist,

167
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: you're going to instantly feel very comfortable chatting with them

168
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: because you have a similar resonance. Now, does that only

169
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: happen during the retrograde period or all the time? Your

170
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: mercury is always in Taurists, no matter what, no matter what. Okay,

171
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: it's not these three times during the year for example. No,

172
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: it's permanent, okay, So you always will approach life your

173
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: brain works as if you were a tourist. But your

174
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: sun sign is Gemini, And what's really nice is that

175
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: mercury is exalted in the sign of Gemini, and you're

176
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: in the radio business, so that's perfect. But having mercury

177
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: and taurist makes you very round, it very practical. You're

178
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: always going to be on time and you're solid. That's

179
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: what your brain likes, likes to make sense of things.

180
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: Why are people and how did I pick up the

181
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: perception of people being so whacked out during this time

182
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: period because it was just a feeling. It was a

183
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: gut feeling and you know what, I called it by

184
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: executive producer Lisa and said, look, we need to do

185
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: a show on this. I think I'm right here, and

186
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: she said, I know you're right, and yeah, the reason

187
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: what you were picking up Yeah, okay, So remember that

188
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: story of the couple who won't only want to go

189
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: left right. What you've felt out in the world is

190
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: that everyone's really upset because they have to turn right.

191
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: They don't like it that it doesn't feel good to them.

192
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: They have to I mean, because I mean energetically, mercury

193
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: retrograde is going to make you break the pattern. You're

194
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: going to have to not well and explain that when

195
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: you say turn right, a lot of people are thinking

196
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: you actually have to turn and right. Did you explain

197
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: what that means? Well? We get into patterns with our brains.

198
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: We want things to go a particular way. You want

199
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: to get on your airplane and land on time. Everybody

200
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: wants that. We all want to move forward. When mercury

201
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: goes retrograde, you're not able to go forward as easily

202
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 1: in the direction that you want to go. Mercury retrograde

203
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: puts a halt to that and makes it feel as

204
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: if everything is funky and frustrating, and it doesn't feel

205
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: good unless you're someone like me, and for those of us,

206
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: the twenty percent of the population that we're born during

207
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: mercury retrograde, it's actually when we feel great and can

208
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: move forward. Okay, So retrograde the second time ends on

209
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: August second. What picks up after that? What's what's what

210
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: do you call it? It goes direct and then everyone

211
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: is back in their lane, feeling comfortable, heading to where

212
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: they want to go without these influences that feel frustrating.

213
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: Do they talk about Venus retrograde or Mars exactly? That's

214
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: what's so crazy about just focusing on this one planet.

215
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: The other planets also go retrograde, So it gets very,

216
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: very complicated when right now there are a couple of

217
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: things that are, you know, making everybody feel very uptight.

218
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: We're in a very heightened period at the moment, and

219
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: that's what I sense. Yes, but in mercury, when it

220
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: goes retrograde, you're on correct. Eighty percent of the population

221
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: is going to feel uncomfortable. But I want people to

222
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: start thinking about it in a more positive way. Imagine

223
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: if you were to tell me that I shouldn't travel,

224
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: sign a contract, or buy any piece of technology when

225
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: mercury is direct, that's when it feels like mercury retrograde

226
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: for everybody else. Can you imagine if I live my

227
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: life that way, I would never be able to do anything. No,

228
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: I agree. But now for most people, if you sign

229
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: a contract during this period leading up to August second,

230
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: is that going to be good or bad for them?

231
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Or if they're going to travel or something like that, Well,

232
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: all it means is that you need to slow down.

233
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: I believe you can travel during mercury retrograde. Just be

234
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: more patient when we're dealing with contracts, same thing. Just

235
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: read every sentence and just slow everything down. We cannot

236
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: stop living our lives just because of some rock in

237
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: space that appears to be going backwards, So it really

238
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: isn't going backwards. It's just an illusion. So we have

239
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: to be really careful that we have free will, and

240
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: we never I don't believe we want to have astrology

241
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: take over our intuition and our inner knowledge, which I

242
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: think is the most powerful thing we have, which is

243
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: our own free will. We need to understand what astrology

244
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: is doing. And everything we've talked about with mercury retrograde

245
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: is correct, and most people don't feel great during that time,

246
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: but we have to deal with it, and it there's

247
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: a lot of positive things about it too. It's like saying, oh,

248
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: it's going to rain at somebody's wedding. That's terrible. Well,

249
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: it is what it is, and you can't do a

250
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: whole lot about the lather. You just have to be

251
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: with it and not get all step because there's nothing

252
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: you can do about it. But there's so many people

253
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: blame mercury retrograde because of that. I mean, it's it's

254
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: an easy cop out, isn't it. Well, I think it's

255
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: a little dangerous because imagine if I did that every

256
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: day with everything that didn't go right for me, When

257
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: mercury is direct, right direct, I feel exactly the way

258
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: you did on that airplane all the time. Interesting, and

259
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: it's not that easy for those of us who were

260
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: born during mercury retrograde. We've had to adapt because our

261
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: entire life has felt like that. We feel squirrelly, you know,

262
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the time during the year. I can't

263
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: stop living my life just because mercury is direct, because

264
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: when it's direct, I'm out of my element. I'm more

265
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: comfortable when it's retrograde. How often when the passion for

266
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: me right George always did, How often when something goes awry,

267
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: goes wrong during mercury retrograde. Can you actually blame that

268
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: on mercury retrograde? You can to a degree. I don't

269
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: want people to get crazy about it, but it's an

270
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: influence or paranoid about it, right right, Well, think about

271
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: the moon. The moon is another rock in space, and

272
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: it regulates everybody of water on this planet. The tides

273
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: go up and down according to the cycles of the moon.

274
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: We're ninety percent water. So you can talk to any

275
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: police officer, any school teacher, or anybody in the hospital mts. Yeah,

276
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: they will tell you, oh my god, during the full moon,

277
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean I know my dogs, they get really happy

278
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: during a full moon. There's an influence, but you don't

279
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: want to stop living your life or blaming the full

280
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: moon for everything being crazy. It's definitely causing some things

281
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: to happen, but you can't stop being who you are,

282
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: you know. It's just we have to live from our

283
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: own body, in our own connection to our intuition more

284
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,760
