Astrological Insights for June, 2017

This small, rocky, innermost planet has a wildly elliptical and eccentric orbit that may well contribute to the planet being associated with the fleet footed messenger of the gods, Hermes or Mercury. The energetic associated with Mercury is one of activation of mind and reason, communication and freedom of choice. The approximate musical note for the silver colored Mercury tuning fork is C Sharp and when combined with Ohm a microtone is created.

Here, we call upon Mercury the great psychopomp and communicator of the Gods to empower healing, astrological wisdom and business success.
