Solar flares & eclipses & shifts, oh my!

We move into the Shadow of Mercury Retrograde on Monday, and it’s going to feel like we’re speeding up rather than slowing down. All the more reason to do everything consciously and with intention. We’ve got a Super Full Moon Eclipse, followed by a Solar Eclipse at the New Moon 2 weeks later, both visible…

Taking your power back during Mercury Retrograde

This post is excerpted from the September newsletter Humans are wired to notice the negative more than the positive. At one point in our evolution, it was a survival skill. The point might have been your childhood, but maybe you were lucky and it’s just an ancient ancestors thing. In any event, this tendency, which…

Mercury has gone Retrograde… Again

Mercury Retrograde. Everything s-l-o-w-s down and moves like molasses. Just breathe, accept that this is your chance to think (and rethink) before you act or speak, and that the world is just not going to move at its usual speed.

Mercury Retrograde in Libra (from the newsletter)

Mercury has gone retrograde in Libra. This is the third and final Mercury Retrograde of the year; all three have been in an air sign. Air is most often associated with the mental body. Mercury is a mental planet. So this retrograde may be a little extra. Also, we kick off in the same degree…

Creating a Personal Mission Statement during Mercury Retrograde

This is a continuation of ideas from Getting what you want from Mercury Retrograde… In order to use Mercury Retrograde to get where you want to go, it helps to know if the goals you think you have are actually in alignment with who you are, so you’re not working at cross purposes. A personal…

Getting what you want from Mercury Retrograde (part 1)

We are in the shadow of yet another Mercury Retrograde. Rather than rehash the same information again (you can get that here), I thought I’d talk about some of the possibilities. People always seem to focus on how Mercury gets in their way, and less on actually getting what the want from Mercury Retrograde. I…
