Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius:
30th January (3:46 pm UT) – 21st February 2021
All dates and times are UT so may vary in your time zone.
With Black Moon Lilith conjunct Eris at the time of its retrograde station (3:46 pm UT on January 30th, 2021), this Mercury pulls no punches and takes no prisoners. Nor would we want to be held captive, for its promise is freedom from the chains secured by our own deceptions. This is not about intricate scams or long cons that flatter to deceive, but the everyday twists and turns we perform to avoid coming face to face with who we truly are.
The Moon isolated in Virgo as Mercury turns about-face speaks of the need for careful discernment when it comes to self-evaluation and definition. Identity is a tricky thing – both the facilitator of our journey through this world and a catalyst of conflict and division, it takes great skill to manage its sharp edges with wisdom and grace.
