You\u2019ve been sens\u00ading a change of ener\u00adgy, a shift of direc\u00adtion\u2026 and you are right. Her\u00admes has (seem\u00ading\u00adly) stopped mov\u00ading for\u00adward and is retrac\u00ading his steps. That\u2019s right, it is Mer\u00adcury Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade Time, again. From now till April 23 it is going to be \u201cinter\u00adest\u00ading\u201d.<\/p>\n
Three times a year, and for about three weeks each time, Mer\u00adcury appears to slow down, stop and then move back\u00adwards. It is real\u00adly catch\u00ading up to Earth (being between us and the Sun), pass\u00ading us by and then con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ading on its jour\u00adney around the Solar system.<\/p>\n
Ide\u00adal\u00adly, if you could accom\u00admo\u00addate your life to the rhythm of the plan\u00adets, then all would be just fine. You would take this time and use it for intro\u00adspec\u00adtion, self-reex\u00adam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion and con\u00adtem\u00adpla\u00adtion. You could focus on review\u00ading old thought pat\u00adterns, ideas and com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtions. You would forge a bet\u00adter under\u00adstand\u00ading of your men\u00adtal pat\u00adterns and work to remove your blind spots. Real\u00adly, it is the per\u00adfect time for a spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal retreat, self-study or rest.<\/p>\n
But, life goes on (usu\u00adal\u00adly), and you have to con\u00adtin\u00adue in your life pat\u00adterns at home and work as if every\u00adthing was the same.\u2026but it is not. So, watch out for pit\u00adfalls and look for the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties that come with Mer\u00adcury in reverse.<\/p>\n
Because every\u00adone is sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adly affect\u00aded, be more care\u00adful with the com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtions you receive as well as in those you send. Fol\u00adlow up the receipt of any mes\u00adsage by con\u00adfirm\u00ading with the sender what you under\u00adstood the mes\u00adsage to mean. When you send a mes\u00adsage, con\u00adfirm its receipt and then make sure it was under\u00adstood as well. The rule of thumb with Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade is nev\u00ader assume\u2026 any\u00adthing! By just being more care\u00adful you can avoid the annoy\u00adances that seem to come with Mer\u00adcury danc\u00ading back\u00adwards, and you can instead focus on its very real benefits.<\/p>\n
This is a time to bend the mind back on itself. After all, one of your great\u00adest gifts is your \u201cself-reflec\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty\u201d, your capac\u00adi\u00adty to look at your\u00adself as if from a van\u00adtage point out\u00adside of your\u00adself. Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade helps you to use this pow\u00ader of your observ\u00ading-ana\u00adlyz\u00ading intel\u00adlect so that you might bet\u00adter under\u00adstand yourself.<\/p>\n
This time, the ret\u00adro\u00adgrade is in Aries, so the lessons will be about your aware\u00adness of your \u201cPres\u00adence\u201d in the world. Re-exam\u00adine how you appear to oth\u00aders. Are you com\u00ading across too strong, so that your pres\u00adence is over\u00adwhelm\u00ading? Or do you move so soft\u00adly that no one notices and so you underwhelm?<\/p>\n
The moment you turn a cor\u00adner, the moment you enter a \u201cspace\u201d, it changes. Was it the change that was need\u00aded, was it the change you intend\u00aded to bring? You are always you, but you should bring to bear what is required giv\u00aden what you sense is need\u00aded. Remem\u00adber, of all those ele\u00adments of your pres\u00adence the most impor\u00adtant is\u2026 your attitude.<\/p>\n
By work\u00ading with Mer\u00adcury now you can exam\u00adine these \u201cMasks of Per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty\u201d and make sure that you are pre\u00adsent\u00ading the best of you to the world. When you prac\u00adtice this \u201cArt of Pres\u00adence\u201d, you per\u00adform through the best of your\u00adself, because you have cen\u00adtered your atti\u00adtude by align\u00ading your\u00adself with your true self.<\/p>\n
So, let Her\u00admes, the mes\u00adsen\u00adger, take you with\u00adin your\u00adself so that you may come out again with that greater clar\u00adi\u00adty of pur\u00adpose, inten\u00adtion and atti\u00adtude. Right think\u00ading leads to Right Atti\u00adtude which allows for Right Action, these are the gifts of Mer\u00adcury in ret\u00adro\u00adgrade. Thank you Hermes! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
