                MERCURY IS RETROGRADE

Stop!   Listen! 

Many people have been calling me over the past few days and are confused about the level of energy that is going on at the moment.    The planet Mercury is currently retrograde in the sign of Cancer.   Now, Mercury on its own can be completely the harbinger of confusion and miscommunication, yet when it is coupled with the sign of Cancer it deeply affects our emotional life and dove tails into our relationship.    Since we now live in a world which greatly values rational over our emotional life, this configuration can be very troubling and bring an enormous amount of struggle into our emotional world, our families and our relationships.

With this in mind, we can learn a few things.  Often, our emotional responses are just that emotional responses, and after arguing that we use our intellect over our emotions, this is exactly what I am going to instruct you to do.

THINK!

Is this really the way that I am feeling?   Do I feel disconnected from the one that I love and am with?   Do I feel that everything around me is falling apart?  Do I really feel anxiety and tension or is this just my reaction to what is going on around me?   

ACT!

In this case, your action is simply this – do nothing!   Do not react to the outside stimuli at the time! It is going to be riddled with miscommunication, half truths, or half understood truths.   

WAIT!

After July 6th, we will begin to realize that we have been circling in our own stuff and we need to understand what that stuff is in order to deal with it through the next cycle.  

LEARN!

How did this retrograde make you feel?  What did you learn about yourself?  What did you learn about others around you?  What would you like to change?

NEGATIVES INTO POSITIVES!

Take this time to explore your emotional nature.   How do your emotions define your decisions?  Do they rule them or are they not even a consideration.   How can you learn to integrate the two together?   Our purpose of going through these cycles is to learn – ask yourselves these inner questions!

Life does not stop because retrogrades.  Our normal reaction when we hear about them is to hide under the bed.  However, we can always use any energy to our benefit if we understand it.   We have an opportunity to explore a very vital part of our lives – our emotions.   The question is -- are you going to learn it?
