Thank you for this post. It’s good to fine-tune the focus. And I wondered…they often say that when Mercury is retrograde, someone returns to your life. In the magazines of old they would often suggest it is a former romantic partner, but really, it could be anyone in any capacity. Would the house of the retrograde show more about who might return? I have the retrograde in my 3rd house and I just (even in the shadow) reconnected with a student. I am also due to present a talk to a spiritual group on Sunday about the Celtic ways and to a Q&A for those who’ve ready the trilogy (totally inspired…the life of a Druid Priestess in late 5th century Wales). I am hopeful that the fact that this is a return visit (I spoke at Summer Solstice) will mitigate some of the potential snafus. 😉
