When it comes to Mercury Retrograde, you have it best and worst. The Sybille self comes to the fore and your pantheon of multiple selves comes out to play. Unlike any other sign, you have the ability to assume a number of identities with varying degrees of morality and conscience associated with each. You can be devilish and divine from one moment to the next, giving equal credence to both expressions in ways that would drive others to the point of schizophrenia. You, Gemini, have signed up under this sign because you wanted to experience as much as you can in the Earth experience as quickly as possible. What better way than to have multiple selves? This Mercury Retrograde brings the many aspects of you out into the open for not only others, but for yourself to see in all of it’s glorious contradictions. You’ll get to understand where you are consistent or inconsistent in your life. More than any other sign, you get to learn about integration during a Mercury Retrograde in Gemini. This can take place in the realm of family relationships, especially with siblings, or those that are like brothers and sisters of the spirit. Pieces of yourself that have been hidden or hiding out will emerge and others get to know you in ways that were a mystery to them. There might be some confusion as a slip of the tongue reveals your secret life as a dungeon mistress (or master), but by the end of the month, they’ll realize that you’re the same, trustworthy and loving person that took their kid to Disneyland last August. That may be just as much of a shocker to you when you get to experience it through their eyes.

You can feel the energy can’t you? Yes, your solar return is almost upon us as The Sun moves into your sign on the 21st and your ruling planet, Mercury awaits entrance, stage left. When it does and moves in concert with your Sun sign, you’re a blur across the landscape. No other sign does multi-tasking as well as you do and this month you’re impressive to say the least. How many lives can you live in one month? When Mars kicks into Leo, look out. Your normally rapid-fire mind bursts into cortical overdrive and you can be working on a cookbook, writing a symphony, teaching a class on Tantra and learning Esperanto. It’s that kind of month. Saturn is still forcing you to deal with home and family matters like leaky roofs and faulty emotional wiring, but at least you can have some fun while mothers, The Homeland and your own home tether you to the responsibilities that you signed on for whether you remember or not. The full moon in your house of secrets promises to resurrect issues and relationships once thought dead. Closure and/or consummation can be yours if you can settle down long enough to stare it down once and for all.

You’re usually the social-net worker of the cosmos but April finds you in overdrive, making new alliances, resurrecting old ones, and blazing new trails in how to communicate and stay connected. You’re everywhere at once…or so it seems. It won’t be unusual for people to see you at three different places in one day, sometimes separated by many miles. “Ubiquity” is thy name. The challenge for you is to take all of these new acquaintances and ways to connect and make something tangible out of them, to create a neural social network that can endure and inform you for the years ahead. In fact, the people you meet and how you stay in touch in April will play a very prominent role for you in the years to come. You’ll look back on this time and see how attending a particular seminar or convention was a pivotal moment for you and the people involved. Take notes, pictures, and video and share it with the world in a meaningful way.

Expect a major correction in your financial sector in March Gemini as established ways of doing business are no longer business as usual prospects. It’s all about covering your assets and making sure that your APR is fixed, not broken. You don’t want any surprises when it comes to matters of deed and trust. Use the first week in March to accomplish these safeguard measures before anything drastic can happen. Will it? Who knows, but as the great Sufi maxim exhorts us to, “tether our camels first, then trust in God” you’d be wise to act like a Bedouin right now in the midst of your own life.

Other astrological events for March 2008

Your word is identity and your identity is your word right now. You’re usually the model of “do what I say, not as I do” and as a result, there will be some real disconnect between how people perceive you right now. Fight the urge towards the superficial rendering of facts and ephemeral decrees of selfhood. You have a great opportunity to see your words in deeds and in motion, impacting the world around you in very specific ways. Why not model the highest level of consistency to the rest of us for a while? Stay true to your words and you’ll weave a spell of intentional magic that we’ll all get to play with. Oh yeah, finish that damn novel, script or screenplay you’ve been working on forever. It’s time.

Pluto comes to roost in the deepest and darkest place of your chart. With Jupiter already their, expanding your dreams, guiding you with great insight and powerful visions, Pluto will be like a crack in the ocean floor of your soul where the light of heat will catalyze your fears and transform them into blueprints for becoming a master of duality, the ultimate quest for the twins. Between January and March with mars in your sign, with it’s retrograde motion in full effect, it’s time to go back in time to tackle unfinished projects, find a lost cause, mend broken fences and remember how powerful and dynamic you can be when you act and speak in accordance with your highest goals and aspirations.
