Mercury in Pisces Reflections:
💜 with these endings in sight, did we learn what we came here to learn?
🦋 Are we capable of embracing the “summary” as part of the gift, the grace, as a means to start a new life/season with humility armed with the wisdom?
🌈 Or will we insist in casting blame and calling forth to arms for vengeance and retribution?
🌻 how will we choose to align as we review and assess?
Musings of Mercury in Pisces:
Choosing Our Own Role In Ragnarok
I have recently spent a lot of time in contemplation of myths and deities of the Nordic realm, I have a deep steady connection to Loki, whom I consider a representative of Saturn, who is stationary direct in my 7H in Scorpio.
In reading Loki lore I came accross many moments where Loki was the voice listing the failures of these “high beings” the Aesir, which caused him and his own to be caught away in an ocean of tragedy, leading up to the Great Big Bad One: Ragnarok.
I have carried a very strong fierce resistance to Odin, it’s been hard to think of them as All Father, his drive ultimately became about preserving his position, disgracefully. It bled out to his entire realm, brining on an onslaught of violent injustice.
Strong themes that come into play when mastery of knowledge has gone from the idealistically innocent riding the flow to the very other end of the spectrum akin to the machiavellian. Pursuing control, driven by paranoia and having an unsatiable hunger to maintain every drop of power.
I always figured Odin must represent Mercury, as such the intellectual pursuit of knowing even things beyond, being attributed the role of martyr teacher (Virgo much?) and seeker of knowledge being the one garnering all the acclaim (Gemini, much?).
These themes speak to me of Mercury in Pisces, personally in 12H, alone, in self-sabotaging thoughts, the severely negative inner critic, the willful heretic mourning the loss of past splendor…
Where this Mercury in Pisces makes contact with your natal chart, is where you may be feeling this energy resisting the Great Accounting or judgment hour… in lieu of licking your obviously self-inflicted wounds.
Inversely, there is a chance to tap into ancient cosmic wisdom to do clear self-assessments looking at the result of our work and do the reaping of our own sowing by vast cosmic spirit standards: the immeasurably deep rich cosmic wisdom.
And having to toe the line between, projecting judgment and blame due to disillusionment at an ending coming to fruiting, rather than seeing the value, the gifts and lessons.
In psychology the last developmental stage has a ring of either fulfillment, for work well done, or anguish, for all lost/missed and failed opportunities, the disillusionment.
Sometimes we are unhappy with ourselves, but fail to embrace the prompting this is activating in us to course correct. Instead we take it as a prompting to look to external sources. However, this is really the 12H with Pisces setting the tone, it is the end of the self, the boundary before breaking out and back into ALL Source.
One cannot enter into such a holy, pure place holding judgments of any kind lest we be pointing condemingly at other saints. Therefore the true message here is humility and purification of the self.
It came to me that the agonizing person is not simply a fearful trembling person, but carries a rather stoic, high seeming outer appearance, like the classic narc engaged in habitually crushing the hopes, dreams and value of others, feeding off their energy to obfuscate the reality that they are just a facade themselves, leaving a trail of heartbroken people whom you have convinced are NOTHING without you, therefore perpetuating this regal outer mirage.
I intensely hate this part of the mythos, and yet, managed this season to have a look at where I step into the world like a champion that turns into the bully, because he cannot bear anyone to outshine them.
The one bent on changing even the course of fate, so to speak, making that last attempt no matter the cost.
Becoming the very stink to the kingdom they were given.
It is that one who refuses to accept the death that leads to rebirth?
We all at one point or another have embodied this energy, with that inner voice being poo-poo about our own innocent dreams and ideas. Worse yet is the form where we hold on to poo-poo ideas, refusing to try again, try anew…
Making it easier to dread trying or dreaming new things… because being negative and fearful was easier than doing the work Loki/Saturn was pointing at: get your inner realm in order.
In the turning point of the tales, how Loki “fell” into the “malefic role”, he aired some things in the dining hall…
For it, these boastful powerful beings became vengeful and condemned him and his children.
However, not even Odin, no, not even the intellect, can escape the very cutting of the threads of fate, nor can he silence the churning of the Great Ocean Serpent Ouroboros.
No matter what, every beginning, has its end, to begin anew…
To pursue utter and complete control is to build a prison illusion, bound to fail every time.
