As of yesterday, we are in Mercury Retrograde. This is, as always, an opportunity to stop and catch your breath. All communication and action should be done consciously, deliberately, with clear intentions. Be introspective. Examine the path you took to get to this point. Seek out loose ends and create closure. In about 3 weeks, you can start thinking about how you want to move forward. For now, some contemplation is in order.

This Mercury Retrograde is in Aries (at least for now). Aries is all about new beginnings, so you may feel like you’re supposed to be chomping at the bit to start new things. Curb that impulse. Instead, tap into the innovation that Aries can hold, and use it to view your current situation and place in the world with fresh eyes. Feel free to sort through things, organize, and redecorate, if you really feel the need to DO something.

On the 23rd, Mercury will slip back into Pisces, which you can view as the sign of dreaming the future. That will be when you want to start thinking (but JUST thinking) about moving forward. Plan. Daydream. Muse. Chew on things. Get clear on what you want your life to feel like. Start visioning, so that, at the beginning of April (right around Easter, an awesome time to rebirth yourself, your life, and your Universe), you can take action and move forward.
