Mercury Retrograde : 4th - 29th July 2006

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Mercury will be retrograding soon :

 

Start : 4 July 2006 19:33 (GMT) in Cancer

End : 29 July 2006 00:39 (GMT) in Gemini

 

For the first 16 days of this retrogradation, it will be in Cancer

where it is heavily afflicted :

 

- sandwiched between malefics Sun and Saturn

- in the same sign with malefics Saturn and Mars

- aspected by Rahu in Pisces

- no benefic planetary aspects from Venus or Jupiter

- dispositor Moon moving towards debility in Scorpio where it will be

aspected by Rahu also

 

If Mercury is an important planet in your chart, you may want to

observe how this Mercury retrograde may affect you.

 

For natives with lagna or moon in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or

Pisces, this retrogradation may affect them more. Because Mercury in

these charts rules 2 kendras in their rashi or moon chart.

 

Of course, transit analysis is only one technique. To see a more

complete picture, dasas and annual charts have to be taken into

consideration also.

 

Afflictions to Mercury can affect one's discerning ability which may

result in bad decisions being made.

 

Here are some world events that may be worth monitoring during this

retrograde period :

 

- July 12 deadline for Iran to suspend uranium enrichment

- North Korea missile launch crisis

- Israel Palestinian conflict

- World Cup semifinals and finals

- Nasa Space shuttle mission

 

 

Regards,

Gary
