I had certainly read somewhere that Mercury was doing something or other in the Sky at the moment. I confirmed afterwards that it is about to be in conjunction with the Sun.

On the other hand, Mercury has considerable significance in the scheme of [0], representing in one sense Communication – which may be seen in this context as the transmissive or active aspect to Truth's receptive or passive aspect. 'In this context' because after the dream (I am 99% certain it was after!) I received a letter from publishers telling me (as agent) that they 'remain interested in the development of this writer's work, and would very much like to see his/her next novel as we feel that he/she could well go on to write something of real cult appeal'. (They also said, with apparently unconscious irony, that they were 'impressed by the magnetic pull of the narrative'.

But on the third hand*, I read in my New Scientist today (received yesterday) an article suggesting that cometary collisions with Earth, with devastating effect, are in terms of geological and even natural history relatively frequent; and that one such large body is coming closer to us at present. Many of the images conjured up by their descriptions of the consequences are the (not altogether unnatural) images of catastrophe previously conjured up by my own mind.

So there we are!

*[as it were.]
