Mercury, the planet of intellect and communication turns direct in Pisces/ Purva Bhadrapada on March 28th. It remains stationary until March 30th and this two-day window is important for decision-making, where choices you make are likely to be binding and have far-reaching consequences. Altogether this has been a full duration 24 days Mercury retrograde spell and partly within the planet’s sign of weakness in Pisces so you may have been doubtful or hesitant about committing yourself fully or been skeptical about a proposition. This is not always a bad thing in view of Mercury retrograde’s reputation for springing surprises. You can sign up for a job, relationship or purchase now in the knowledge there should be no unseen consequences, and a second thought or Plan B will give way back to your original idea.

Purva Bhadrapada’s association with burning and fire gives your thoughts a ritual cleansing quality, and some plans may still need to be looked into before discounting them or signing up for the longer term. Purva’s deity is Ajaikapada, a form of Rudra, the Storm God, which in this case is fire-storm, in the sense of a purge – yoga and meditation are valuable tools, or with Mercury here, using chanting to affirm your intentions. This is a fierce and warrior-like (kshatriya) asterism, which shows you liking robust debate, despite underlying uncertainty, and you may also encounter people with a hidden agenda.

Purva is represented by a two-faced man, and there may have been chicanery or manipulation in your dealings, where what you are given is not what was promised in the brochure. Anyone you have met for the first time during Mercury’s retro arc may also not remain a feature in your life, but was only around to give you a signpost.

Go on the voyage of discovery you have been promising yourself.

TaurusTaurus
