Rise of Poisoning Incidents During Mercury Retrograde
For this analysis, we’ll focus on Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, a fixed star and a bonus asteroid. Mercury takes precedence due to its retrograde motion during this period. On November 27th, Mercury stationed retrograde at 22° Sagittarius, in conjunction with a fixed star. Ras Alhague enters the chat. Ras Alhague’s influence is highlighting themes of intoxication, sensitivity, and spiritual or physical imbalances as key factors during this retrograde phase.
Ras Alhague is a fixed star in the constellation Ophiuchus, positioned near the head of the Serpent Bearer. It's approximately placed at 22° Sagittarius. Among its influences, Ras Alhague is often linked to vulnerability to intoxication, whether through excessive alcohol, rich foods, or other substances, aligning it with a Neptunian nature.
To expand this interpretation, we can incorporate the Greek counterpart of Neptune—the asteroid Poseidon—which represents similar themes of transcendence, illusion, and sensitivity. Mercury, the planet governing thought, communication, and adaptability, plays a crucial role when it interacts with both Ras Alhague and Poseidon between November 12 and December 1, 2024. Mercury’s role during its shadow and retrograde period highlights its potential to catalyze incidents related to tendencies toward confusion, miscommunication, or susceptibility to intoxicating influences when influenced by the energies of Ras Alhague and Poseidon.
In the context of these poisoning events, Mercury acted as a key trigger in regards to its position likely either as the Ascendant ruler in victims’ charts or the ruler of the event chart's Ascendant.
