More about Mercury (Mercury will go retrograde on Jan 22 7:54 AM PST) When Mercury gets ready to go retrograde, it first slows then briefly stops its forward movement. Of course, this isnt happening to the planet itself, but it APPEARS to stop then reverse course. It acts like this from the point of view of the earth, our point of view, in similar fashion as the sun coming up in the morning. Of course the sun doesnt really come up, the earth moves, but from our perspective it appears the sun moves. Anyway, astrologically speaking, the brief stopping of Mercury is called becoming stationary, such that when Mercury is pausing in its motion it is said to be stationary or making a station. The reason Im telling you all this stuff is i want you to conduct an experiment. I want you to go meditate or pray or whatever you do. See if the mind (symbolized by Mercury) is quieter, the same as Mercury in the sky is making its station and not moving. See if its easier to get quiet.
