WHEN Mercury is retrograde, as it is now, it is an ideal time to explore your past lives. If you have a reading with a psychic during Mercury retrograde, past lives are an excellent subject, while, on the other hand, asking him about your future during Mercury retrograde is not likely to be as good.
Is this because Mercury rules time?
Well, no, it does not. Saturn rules time, as is shown by one of his alter-egos, Chronos, as in chronometer or time-keeper. Mercury, as it happens, are the hands on that watch. When Mercury is retrograde, those hands
move backwards. As I constantly admonish, astrology is literal. We just have to realize that and figure out ways to literally use it.
When Mercury is retrograde and Saturn is as well, then we truly have three weeks when time, for all practical purposes, moves backwards. Learn to use it.
I had been using periods of Mercury retrograde for some time in my own past life studies before one of my correspondents pointed it out to me. It made sense. Since then I have sometimes reminded myself to
focus upon that during retrogrades, and sometimes simply find myself doing it anyway, by accident.
Why would you or I be driven to study one’s own past lives? Well, sorry to say, you would have the interest if your most recent past life (in particular, that one) happened to end unfortunately. You would want to know
why, you would want an explanation for what went wrong.
As for who and what you were at the end of your most recent past life, that’s easy. Go back to when you were five and seven years old. What kinds of thoughts were in the back of your head? Most likely those were the same kinds of thoughts you were thinking when you passed away previously. Like taking a frozen steak out of the fridge and thawing it. Your past life was frozen in time until you came back to thaw or “reanimate” it.
If you had a traumatic end to your last life, you likely compulsively relived it in childish nightmares, but even if the passing was serene, there are other clues. Were you, like me, a fussy eater as a child? That’s evidence of
death from food poisoning. Indeed, any childish likes and dislikes, as well as habits, are likely to be carryovers from your most recent.
Asthma, for example, can be the “memory” of death from suffocation. With clues like these, you can begin your own study. In this particular Mercury retrograde cycle, you have until Saturday, July 20. There will be many more.
