In an August article I’d listed some of the incredibly potent astrological transits unfolding like energetic reality-altering dominoes in the second half of 2020. One of them is Mercury retrograde. Mercury turned retrograde on October 13, 2020 at 11° Scorpio. It’s in retrograde motion until November 3, 2020 at 25° Libra. Mercury turns direct motion on November 3, 2020, which happens to be Election Day here in the USA. 
Pause for reaction… Pause for jaw dropping, head shaking dismay… Pause for slow recovery… Pause for belly laughs and eye rolling Who gives a damn at this point! reactions.
I was surprised—absolutely should not have been considering how 2020 has been from day one—when I first realized that Mercury would be retrograde during our 2020 presidential election process, mailing of our mail-in ballots and in-person pandemic voting here in the USA. It’s looked and felt like the deck has been and continues to be stacked against us but that’s just more of Phase 2, the Divine Cease & Desist Order, the COVID-19 pandemic, the old low Duality red / blue two party system becoming something NEW, singular and very different for a while. Humanity is and will continue to evolve beyond all of the old patriarchal systems and structures but at first these incremental positive changes need to and will happen. Stair-steps remember?
Red is done, Blue is becoming NEW. Red is descending, Blue is ascending. There’s more but that’s enough for the sensitive moment. With Mercury retrograde through this presidential 2020 election voting period, it should be clear that we won’t know whose won the presidency on November 3rd or 4th or for a good while after that. Remember that all retrogrades are about each of us needing to go back and re-do, re-think, re-evaluate, re-view, reconsider whatever it is that each of us needs to. In this case it’s the entire USA primarily but we all know the rest of the world is watching and preparing closely for whichever way it goes here. You and I already know which way it’s going to go and why but it’s still got to play itself out physically with all the corruption, law breaking, lying, lowly orange chakra sausage party insanity, and the anti we the people red party blatant everything.
Things look and feel really bad because they have been, for a very, very long time but that’s over finally. Not so however for those who still love the smell of nepalm in the morning and the taste of blood in their mouths. See why the Separation has to happen?
It’s going to take longer than it usually does to go through all the ballots for all the reasons you already know about, including the pandemic. It’s just going to take longer than usual which means a lot of other negativity etc. will be doing its damnedest to do more of what it’s done for the past fifty+ years. It looks and feels like all is lost but what’s really going on is that what no longer belongs is being energetically forced out. Ascending or Descending but remain in the same place and space and do both is no longer tolerable in any way to any of us.
Give them the time needed to collect and count the ballots and work their ways through the many obstacles that red created. It will come out eventually and each of us are needed to continue holding the higher while all this lowly negativity plays itself out physically and each go their own radically different ways. Literally. It’s just the last of three Mercury retrograde periods of 2020. Hold higher like you, like we’ve always done and this too will soon be no more.
