 It's spun around again
A retrograding planet Mercury has appeared, for the last time this calendar year.  When Mercury retrogrades, all forms of communication are off kilter, to say the least. Snail mail, email, cell fone, home fone, speaking to others, speaking to yourself, and don't even think of signing a contract or wonder why negotiations are not going well. We can not put life off during the retrogrades, but forewarning will help ya navigate through it.

GPS for Mercury in Retrograde, maybe
Here with us since November 6th (or up to a week before) and expected to stay til after Thanksgiving holiday here is some food for thought and a possible strategy to get the most out of this cosmically induced situation comedy in our lives.  So, this strategy, is it full proof--uhh no.  Will there be a trial and error period where you may want to bring all things to a halt, of course.  But will this strategy at least be a jumping off point for you to understand how energy is being warped and how to anticipate and almost plan for the unexpected, hopefully YES!

Part One: Self Completion
Often we place other things and people before all of our self related matters.  So if you are a parent, a caregiver, a teacher or a caring spouse, during this retrograde, devote time to you and only you.  A hard task, but since everyone else may misread your intentions and communications why not.  Complete that draft of a book, take yourself out to dinner or the movies, or hey, even start that scarp-book project on your college days you have been putting off.  Basically, work on anything that will help complete something that is only focused on you.

Part Two: Build Stronger Existing Bonds
Now, I am sure we all have said if we just had more hours in the day we would take some time out to spend with one of our siblings, or an elder family member, or a friend we haven't seen in upteen years.  Well when Mercury retrogrades, we all can benefit by spending time strengthening those relationships that need repair, need tending, need mending, or just plain ole attention.  Don't get so caught up in the how, identify those folks first and just simply ask for the right way to make those bonds that are meaningful in our lives even stronger.

Part Three:  Harvest Gratitude
This is one of my favorite techniques when dealing with Mercury when it retrogrades.  So since there are all kinds of things that can and will go awry, I sometimes sit in the mist of all the mayhem and say thank you.  Thank you for the sun, the moon, the stars, loved ones, breath, and life.  Somehow my gratitude injects some clemency from Mercury or some other place and my focus leaves what has messed up and begins to shift to all the blessings and gifts I have and will receive.  It's really all about perception and where we lay our energy. So as harvest dawns, say THANK YOU no matter what.

Part, Whole or Activation
Now I don't think that these three things will solve all of our Mercury related troubles, but I do hope one of them or even a mere part of one will trigger within all of us the overcoming power we humans definitely possess with every cell we have, it's just about the activation phase.  Hopefully this post will help us make great things happen.

  Firstly, the fullness Can you feel it? Did you see it? This morning at about 7:11am (EST) the moon reached it's fullness, in Sagittarius no less. This time of the lunar cycle is great for things to bubble over.  Now remember, that can be both positive or negative.  So, I say to us all, accept that extra energy we feel.  Don't shy away from the increased emotionality that is hovering over us. As I stated above this is a Sagittarius Full Moon, which means that the planet ruling this Full Moon is Jupiter, that benevolent, all knowing, and amazingly royal planet.  Look for positive surprises over the next few days or so.  Jupiter is known as a bestower of gifts, sometimes gifts that we thought were long forgotten about.  Now focus that energy inward To add spice to all of this right before that moon peaked this morning a lunar eclipse occurred. And remember eclipses are the ability to manifest our wants and desires more than other times of year...

Shining like the SUN....corner illuminations Bringing back the light. That’s what this waning phase is really about. During the waning moon emphasis should be on preparing for the coming new moon and removing things from your life that YOU ARE WILLING TO LET GO. That’s right folks, we are going to have to give up some or all of that emotional baggage we are carrying around for free. For all the times you have felt it was too dark to move, for all the days when you wished things were a little lighter, for each chance you realized you didn’t have enough light, here he is...LIGHT and in the brazen sign of Leo. It has been properly placed at the end of this calendar you. Are you seeing a setup, I think so. I know for me, this waning time is going to focus on my ritual process and me as a ritual process. I am going to use this light to shine into every part of ritual I create, intuit, and recall from my ancestral memory. Also, I want to take into the new calendar year a pers...

Let us not forget the Leap Year

credit: theoriginof.com Look what leaped in? Once every four years we are gifted with an extra day, some extra energy, an additional chance to get it right! Well on this coming Wednesday, that opportunity comes up yet again.  I prescribe we think less of a Leap Year as the year of governmental leadership, but rather it's the year we take that necessary step towards our empowerment.  Having said that, let's check where things are "lunarly" this Leap Year.   Watch as it waxes At this point in the cycle we have moved out of the New Moon space and we should all be diligently working towards our intentions.  This phase of the moon is called "Waxing", meaning we are actively building and constructing our paths each and every moment.  No second guessing, just movement and strides right now.  This Leap Year is aligned with the Waxing Half Moon in Gemini, which some of us may know is Mercury ruled.  Yes, Mercurial energy can be tricky, but knowing t...
