Yesterday afternoon on July 26, 2020, Mercury left its “Shadow Zone” and moves into the future. What does this mean?

First, for those who don’t know the term, a planet’s “Shadow Zone” is the span of degrees between the point it goes stationary retrograde back to where it goes stationary direct. When a planet which was retrograde goes direct, it moves across the same span of degrees it did when retrograde. That is the Shadow Zone.

Mercury went SRX at 15 Cancer on June 17/18. It retrograded back to 6 Cancer, where it went direct July 12. It’s now in forward motion and just left the boundary of its shadow zone at 15 Cancer. As Mercury, “the Guide of Souls” and coordinator of our Life is now speeding up, we can expect all things related to Mercury to speed up as well for the next few weeks.

Now Mercury moves forward through the last half of Cancer, bringing coordination, information, or understanding to events already experienced via the Sun’s transits of late Cancer. Some of what this period brought us will only be understood once Mars activates this zone in the first half of May 2021. As Mercury leaves its Shadow Zone, it now can bring us objective understanding of recent events so our ideas can “catch up” with our life, likes, and initiatives.

From here, Mercury will speed up until it catches up to the Sun at the next Superior Conjunction at 26 Leo on August 17, a great degree promising blessings after the death of useless things, along with the ability to fuse “the above and the below” in us giving us a “revelation of worth after a storm.” As it is in partile trine with Mars and exact quincunx with Saturn, we should see a bigger picture not that far down the road. Some may understand they need to go their own way as a result of seeing to the core of things.

So enjoy the quickened pace, which should help many areas of our lives move forward in fine style. As usual, I’ll be writing more about Mercury’s Superior Conjunction with the Sun in August, as well as the very important squares and quincunxes occurring then. We continue with the great reorganizations and reorientations in the Capricorn sector of our charts, propelling us toward the Mars conjunct Saturn at 1 Aquarius heralding and jump starting the Grand Mutation of 2020 in Aquarius, ushering in a dynamic Aquarian 200 year period!
