A Confusing Transit: Mercury Drowning in his Critical Degree

Trevor Scott

Mercury in Scorpio at 29 degrees shows a final transition from the fixed emotional states towards expanded understanding of our beliefs and perspectives, Sagittarius. Mercury is about how we think and communicate. Our ability to communicate and understand our world is confusing and chaotic at the moment. Water transitioning into fire creates steam or smoke that veils clarity of sight. Since it is being cut by Mars’ aspect, this might just be a time when we have a major mental breakthrough and establish a eureka moment about what has to transform in our day-to-day lives and our connectivity with other people.

Now is the time to utilize our new understanding or perception of truth to heal the wounded warrior aspect of the psyche. It’s a better time for tuning into one’s intuition and spiritual perceptions, not too good for understanding and organizing your physical reality to where it all “makes sense.” It’s actually a creative time for using our skills in a profound and transformational manner that brings about beauty. There might be new information that puts our emotional stability off balance.

This is another factor playing into our buzzed nervous system. Mercury rules over our ability to perceive and analyze reality in a coherent manner, but when it is in the 6th from the moon, there are blocks and obstructions to our mind’s ability to achieve structure or order in our immediate environment (Gemini).

Moon with Rahu makes our thinking compulsive and chaotic — it’s far too much at once and it can seem like sudden changes in our emotional body knock us out of a sense of “flow” throughout our day. When Venus squares it, our ability to make coherent and healthy decisions also goes out the window.

The trick now is to calm the nervous system down and spend just a little bit of time focusing the mind on “one thing at a time.” Doing this will take away most of the stress and anxiety.
