Lady of Swords reps Merc Rx, I pulled another to see what she was looking at in the past, which is Queen of Vessels.  This lady speaks/thinks with beauty and elegance – she is the silence and mystery of the High Priestess given voice.  She enlightens with cutting edge intellect in tandem with love and charm.

Artistic sensitivities focused into words, poetry, voice and inspirations are evident by this card combo.  Mercury stations retrograde while sandwiched between Aquarius Moon and Venus right after the 0 degree New Moon (conjunct Sun) in Aquarius.  Stations are filled with energy buzzing/shifting – separation from one thing and magnetic attraction to another is very likely during this time.

Mercury is exalted in Aquarius granting prime functioning and optimization of thinking and communication.  This transit will be intensive for seeing two sides of everything, see your natal Aquarius house for your specific focus.

Revise, revision, rework, re-imagine most of all – REINVENT. 
Laying new neural nets is a given.

Standard Merc Rx info: great time to edit, internal process/sort – not so great for communications by the direct route.  Save all your info, machinery can go wonky esp. computers, phones, etc..  Messages from other dimensions (influence of Uranus) your past, pets (Mercury), totems and synchronicities are more likely while Mercury goes reboot in Aquarius.

Note this – you may also get the urge to pick up an old chestnut for re-examination, particularly prior to New Moon.
Think Twice.
New Moon brings new liberating energies, use them in your favor !

The Queen of Vessels represents what Mercury Rx investigates, she is emotional water coupled with logical air.  Her sealed vessel bears a question mark, contains a mystery which can only be revealed by living this transit of Mercury.  KNOWING cracks with lightning/storm – ozone buzz.  It defies logic, it is beyond emotional feeling and earthly manifestation of proof – it just is what it is.
No need to know how you know – know anyway.

Queen reminds us that there is a destined time and place to ground unseen energies.
Shaman square Wizard that is Uranus square Pluto.
A wizard arrives precisely when he means to.
