As Mercury Retrograde IS a superb time to amend previous decisions, it is technically a great time for relationship reconstruction. But is it really? My answer to this query brightens the issue.
Submit To Saturn-Pluto On This
Dear High-Strung Librarius,
It’s an superb question. As you see, Mercury Retrograde shows feelings and attitudes that are usually not acknowledged. Alhtough we know they are there, we are inclined to slide past them with barely a glance, like enemy spies in the passages of power. But differentiate between identifying your usually suppressed feelings and reconstructing misunderstandings. Are you looking at relationship reconstruction? Or covering over the cracks? If your fix feels more like conciliation or a cosmetic job, yield to the broader Zeitgeist: Saturn conjunct Pluto, at work until 2020. The same astral force uncovering corruption, decay, and stagnation within the politico-economic complex is at work in relationships.
The Sun square Uranus influence at the last part of this Mercury Retrograde adds an addition surreal layer to the misunderstandings. It is rogue energy. I don’t think it is a great time to charge in and try to reconstruct these communication glitches. It is your cue to remove energy and find clearness within. First, resolve your turbulent psyche. Know your limits. Take your ‘wildest intuitions’ to a rational, cognitive-behavioral type therapist so that you have an unbiased take on the relationship dynamic. Are they fierce? Or could you be second-guessing your intuitions because of in-place sentiment and comfort zoning? Are you working out a relationship reconstruction strategy or an exit strategy?
Be Still And Assess The Terrain
It is the very same deal with the family. Of course, you can work on revealing yourself better, but you cannot control them or their reactions. Get hold of what it is within your control and hit for maximal ownership of that. This energy feels gloomy. Mercury is about to be straight, but it is not out of the shadowzone till mid-August. See from now until then as a time to be still, collect information, and evaluate the terrain. Taking action on talk-fests and hashing things out is of no point if you are not confident of yourself. And, if you are coping with a gaslighter or ambiguity, it is a disaster.
And, as you are both probably Scorpio Risings, you are Pluto ruled. The next 6 months of Saturn Return and this enormous astro-vibe are fix-it-or-fuq-it. You are going to strengthen your relationship and become this robust unit ready to move into your 30’s. Or you are going to start the process of getting back yourself and extricating. But it is no time to be intertwined in an energy vampire of a relationship.
So the brief answer to your original question is no. Before you try to reconstruct the relationship – with your partner or family – strengthen yourself.
