Hermes & the Red Dragon of Ares

A Webinar on Mercury Rx, Mars Rx, & Eclipses

Sunday, July 22

2:00 pm Pacific Standard Time

We’re in the middle of intense astrological transits that will become increasingly powerful in the next month. You’re invited to join me for a webinar I will be presenting on Sunday, July 22 at 2:00 pm Pacific Standard Time that will explore the cathartic astrological themes erupting as well as provide guidance for navigation in connection with your astrology chart.

Following the partial solar eclipse in Cancer that forms an opposition with Pluto on July 12, we will be entering a lunar cycle that culminates in a Total Lunar Eclipse united with Mars retrograde on July 27, while simultaneously Mercury will be stationing retrograde in Leo. On July 26 Mercury will station retrograde at 23º27′ Leo, while on the same day the Sun forms an exact opposition with Mars retrograde in Aquarius. This day is the heart of the Mars retrograde cycle, the most extreme phase of inflamed heat Mars experiences in its entire synodic cycle. The following day on July 27 we will experience a Total Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius at 4º45′ that is conjoined Mars retrograde and in a catalytic square with Uranus in Taurus. As many have already been talking about, this will be a blood red Moon (for those who can see it) appearing near Mars at its brightest red shimmering in the sky.

The first part of the webinar will provide background information concerning Mercury retrograde time periods in general as well as the specific upcoming one in Leo. I’ll also present information on the quality of time we experience during Mars retrograde transits in general, as well as the numerous factors that make the current one unique. In particular we will look at how the present synodic cycles of Mercury and Mars are intersecting this year.  I’ll also talk about the meaning of lunar eclipses and the significance of a total lunar eclipse occurring in tandem with Mercury and Mars in retrograde. I will need to be concise with information provided about each of these topics, however, for an entire webinar could be spent on each one alone.

The second part of the webinar will provide analysis which synthesizes all of these transits together for all 12 zodiac signs. You can contemplate this from the perspective of your rising sign, Sun, or Moon. I will pay particular attention to the transits occurring on July 26 and 27 with the locations of the lunar eclipse, Mars retrograde, and Mercury stationing retrograde. Next we’ll examine the significance of the inferior conjunction of Mercury retrograde with the Sun on August 8 at 17º Leo, that occurs only a few days before the Leo Sun then becomes partially eclipsed on the August 11 new Moon at 18º42′ Leo. This is a fascinating sequence of transits to experience while we are continuing to experience the deep shifting of Mars retrograde- special attention will be paid to how the purifying rebirth of Mercury at this time factors in for each sign, in combination with the Partial Solar Eclipse in Leo.

The webinar will last about two and a half hours and will take place through Zoom meetings. You do not need to pay for an account with Zoom meetings to participate, but do need to download the free version on your device. The cost of the webinar is $25 and can be paid through PayPal in the link above at the top of this post, or you may send me an email at consultation@graycrawford.net and I will send you a payment request. Once I receive your payment I will email you a link to attend the webinar. A video recording of the webinar will be sent to you afterwards so it is not necessary to attend live. If you do attend live there will be space provided for comments and questions.
