Retrograde Mercury in Virgo
revisiting, rerouting us
rescheduling, rewiring us
redrawing lines, retracing steps.
Re-finding misplaced, rainbow pussy hats;
Resourceful Virgo. Eagle-eyed like that.
Resolutely thoughtful, a muted mutability;
Retro-shading all our Senses and Sensibilities.
Reveal and conceal: is that your Jane Austen bodice ripper?
Replay then delayed: telegrams aboard steamship clipper.
Retrograde Mercury in Virgo:
re-imagining us, with the minimum of fuss.
Redefining, recreating,
Reclaiming and renaming us
Like a Shakespeare play
re-crafting, recasting
re-writing, re-editing
re-issuing, re-posting
re-blogging, re-tweeting
reprinting, republishing us.
Renegotiating our basic human rights.
Respecting intellectual property rights.
Reaffirming reproductive, fertility rights;
Reciting the solemn Patriarchal last rites.
Retrograde Mercury in Virgo:
re-directing us: a Sam Shepard play;
re-enacting an earthy roll in the hay.
Replicating fruit-flies; recombinant DNA.
Rendering morphed mutants redundant. Evolution’s ruthless way!
Recognises your unspoken foreplay; trusting nature’s instincts.
Remembering maternal; yielding only to the subtlest hints.
Reconstructive surgery; regenerative medicines.
Regenerating time lords as human-android citizens.
Revitalizing sluggish, stagnant revenue streams.
Re-inhaling Ayahausca. Totally recalling lucid dreams.
Re-purposing traditional herbs; still good as new
Re-tilling the soil in the morning dew.
Repairing wounded Earth. Virgo’s eco healing.
Rekindling relationships; deep forsaken feelings.
Reuniting Oscar Wilde with his long-lost Bosie*
Re-sleuthing lost cases ’cause Virgo’s kind of nosey.
Resolving to separating the wheat from the chaff. And oh
Really? Another #White House media gaffe!
Retrograde Mercury in Virgo: sandwiched by game-changing Eclipses
Reality bites: surely, no one can miss this.
Electrifying Aquarius, partial lunar; then Leo roaring, total solar
Re-setting satellites; resonating sonar.
Repelled by repugnant, reprehensible acts
distorted truths; w.t.f. alternative facts! And
Repealing basics, universal affordable care?
Re-read Virgo lips, Senators? Please, don’t you dare.
Rethinking the unthinkable, reigning the impeachable;
Relearning history, alas, repeating the inevitable?
Reclassifying information: strictly on “the need to know”
Reaping what we sowed, reaping what we’ve sown.
Re-investigating elections, and the FBI repercussions
Re-transcending hate with love, KGB Russians
Re-striving for perfection, the sixth Herculean task;
Really Virgo: is there nothing too much to ask?
Redoubling efforts, re-employing elbow grease;
Re-scrutinising the minutiae hidden in the lease.
Re-opening windows, re-hinging doors;
Re-scouring kitchens, re-scrubbing floors.
Redeeming coupons, thrift-store vouchers;
Re-setting passwords, refreshing browsers.
Re-stacking shelving, re-polishing brass;
Replanting seeds, re-feeding grass.
Redeeming broken-hearts, Pisces pieces.
Rescuing humanoid-androids in distress;
Restoring faith and hope, rectifying the mess.
Then, at last:
Re-emerged from the trickster’s backspin
Replenished, respectful, reverential
Retrieved treasures buried deep within?
Re-organised disorder into harmony;
Restored a new order, into our disorderly courts;
Restarted afresh: missions chaotic? Then simply abort!
Rejoice: O’ Virgo Regina guiding us thru’
Retrograde Mercury in Virgo.
