		<description>Many of us born with Mercury direct also find no negative effect. Mercury spends a lot of time in the sign of its retrogradation. The retrograde periods tend to bring a change in direction--in hindsight, typically for the better. I pay little attention to Mercury retrograde, I pay a lot of attention to the length of time Mercury spends in one element each year. These periods at four-month intervals tie together with a grandtrine, which is the best aspect by most accounts and from most perspectives. Beginning December 5, 2009 Mercury spends most of its time in an Earth sign; the first period (this go-around) will be in Capricorn from Dec 5, 2009 until February 10, 2010. Now that is something to pay attention to! 

On Sunday Mercury meets with the Sun in Virgo, beginning its morning star phase. We have perhaps changed our mind about something important a few weeks prior to that date, and are likely to move ahead with a stronger conviction. Until then it is easier to choose things we no longer desire in our lives; I am busily clearing clutter and sorting out files; getting rid of books I no longer want. I think of it as clearing the energy to bring in something new... We simply love to blame Mercury when we get lost, lose our keys, cell phone, etc. but forget to thank Mercury when something changes direction for the better.</description>
