Is another controversial election about to
take place in November?
On the day of the U.S.
presidential election, November 6, 2012, Mercury will be stationary, preparing
to go into retrograde motion.
The last time Mercury was retrograde, or at
least moving out of retrograde into direct motion on a presidential election
day was November 7, 2000. You may remember that election which was somewhat
famous for it’s Florida
recounts and hanging chads.
Following is a table of previous
presidential election dates from 1848 to the present. We’re looking for dates
where Mercury was stopped, turning direct or turning retrograde on the date of
the election.
Don’t spend much time on this as the only
exact hits are on November 7, 2000 and November 6, 2012. The table notes some
dates where it was close (within days) but not exact.

In Astrology Mercury retrograde is a period
of time where people frequently change there minds. It is not a time for
signing or finalizing agreements. There can be breakdowns in equipment, failed
communications in short confusion.
It should be noted the 3-4 day period
before and after Mercury goes into retrograde motion, particularly the time it
is standing still can be a short period of great inspiration.
This election has the potential for voting
irregularities, miscounts, recounts and recrimination from both sides.
