That\u2019s right, wel\u00adcome to the first Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade of the New Year from March 12 till April&nbsp;4.\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Of course Her\u00admes nev\u00ader \u201creal\u00adly\u201d goes back\u00adwards; he\u2019s just pass\u00ading Earth on his inside orbit and so com\u00ading between us and the Sun. Those Mer\u00adcu\u00adr\u00adial ener\u00adgies are wax\u00ading now, but they are turn\u00ading inwards\u2026towards re-exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion, reviews and revi\u00adsions. Ide\u00adal\u00adly, if you could make it so, you would take the next 3 weeks and go on a retreat, to take an inner jour\u00adney, into your space for reflec\u00adtion and so use this won\u00adder\u00adful shift to bet\u00adter under\u00adstand&nbsp;you!<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, for many if not all\u2026life goes on! (But do set aside some extra time for reflec\u00adtion). As your seem\u00ading\u00adly ordi\u00adnary life unfolds, make sure to be more aware of the pit\u00adfalls of Mer\u00adcury as he does his \u201cMoon Walk\u201d. Since every\u00adone is expe\u00adri\u00adenc\u00ading this rever\u00adsal, this pre\u00addis\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion to be \u201cinward\u201d, you have to remind your\u00adself to pay more atten\u00adtion to all com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtions, both the trans\u00admit\u00adting and the receiv\u00ading. Because your atten\u00adtion to the here and now may not be what it should, you are more like\u00adly to make a mis\u00adtake (assum\u00ading too much, not being clear or dis\u00adtract\u00aded) so you fail to make your point\u2026and, the receiv\u00ading end is just as impaired because of the same deficit of attentiveness\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But do make use of this gift to bend your mind back on itself and use your won\u00adder\u00adful self-reflec\u00adtive fac\u00adul\u00adty to bet\u00adter know your\u00adself. The first peri\u00adod of Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade will be in Aries till March 23. Dur\u00ading this pas\u00adsage use this Mer\u00adcu\u00adr\u00adial Mir\u00adror to see how you present your\u00adself to the world around you\u2026how do you appear to oth\u00aders? Are you lean\u00ading too far for\u00adward in your bear\u00ading so that you are over-whelm\u00ading? Or, are you so pulled back that you pass un-noticed by the world because you are under-whelming\u2026Or maybe, just maybe you\u2019ve got it \u201cjust right\u201d, you are in that sweet spot\u2026You are Strong and Sen\u00adsi\u00adtive, know\u00ading when to take a stand\u2026 and when to yield\u2026so that you walk on Earth with the right amount of pres\u00adence and your influ\u00adence upon those who accom\u00adpa\u00adny you is beneficent.<\/p>\n<p>Then from March 23 till April 4 Mer\u00adcury will make a return vis\u00adit to Pisces, and you will tru\u00adly need to go deep\u00ader, down into the mys\u00adter\u00adies of your Imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion and reex\u00adam\u00adine those well-springs of your Faith. Your aware\u00adness then will call for more sub\u00adtle\u00adty; you will need to be more open and aware to the less appar\u00adent but under\u00adly\u00ading real\u00adi\u00adty you move through. Where\u00adas Mer\u00adcury in Aries is all ideals and excitabil\u00adi\u00adty, Pisces calls for a soft\u00ader more recep\u00adtive approach, to the worlds with\u00adin and without.<\/p>\n<p>To enter these sub\u00adtle realms, to move into your intu\u00adition\u00adal know\u00ading, you will need to let go of cer\u00adtain\u00adties, to the fixed geome\u00adtries of your out\u00adward real\u00adi\u00adty as you open your\u00adself again to won\u00adders, mys\u00adter\u00adies and the deep, deep waters from which all life springs\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Remem\u00adber, as before, the inspi\u00adra\u00adtions of Mer\u00adcury in Pisces will not come in the obvi\u00adous forms\u2026your high\u00ader self, your truer self will not shout or declaim\u2026The gifts will come in that gen\u00adtle whis\u00adper, in the hint of some\u00adthing pro\u00adfound but so famil\u00adiar too\u2026And then you will know that you have been touched, you have been graced by the mys\u00adtery that is with\u00adin&nbsp;you.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is going to be an inter\u00adest\u00ading 3&nbsp;weeks\u2026<\/p>\n<p>All hail Her\u00admes, the Mes\u00adsen\u00adger of the Gods who brings you the gifts of Greater Awareness\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The Greater Aware\u00adness of&nbsp;You!<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<br> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oops\u2026have you for\u00adgot\u00adten some\u00adthing, or some\u00adone?
