Mercury Retrograde July 2012 & Uranus - Pluto square
Mercury Retrograde
started July 15,
2012 and goes to
August 8, 2012 from
13 degrees of Leo to
1 degree of Leo.
This particular
Mercury Retrograde
by itself isn't as
difficult as the one
in March, but it
happens with a
number of other
challenging
planetary
relationships.
As you've probably
read, Uranus and
Pluto are now
traveling in a tight
square. The Sun in
Cancer triggered
this energy in late
June. Mars in Libra
triggered it in
mid-July. Mars will
conjoin Saturn in
Libra in mid-August
after Mercury goes
direct.
You can see examples
of what's going on
from the news:

I could, of course,
go on, but I'm sure
that you get the
picture. The Uranus
– Pluto square is in
effect for the next
few years. On the
positive side, it
pits forces of
change – the
individual or
"little people"
(Uranus in Aries)
standing up to the
power structure
(Pluto in
Capricorn). This
side is represented
by the exposure of
misdeeds by bankers
and the lawsuits
against Monsanto.
The not-so-positive
side of this
planetary picture is
the revolution gone
wild—the attacks on
Christians in Egypt,
the likely end of
the Egypt-Israeli
Peace Treaty, the
attacks on Israeli
tourists in Bulgaria
– and not the least
the shootings at the
Batman movie in
Colorado.
In the 1960s, Uranus
conjoined Pluto.
The current square
is the first one
since that
conjunction. It is
my hope that as in
the 1960s, the
outpouring of anger
will eventually be
directed at the
issues facing the
world and necessary
changes will be made
to insure the health
of planet earth and
those of us who live
here.
