Time to turn around again\u2026<\/p>\n

To glance back and reconsider\u2026<\/p>\n

Whence, wither\u2026and why.<\/p>\n

Here is what I not\u00aded in my Gen\u00ader\u00adal Fore\u00adcast regard\u00ading this third and final Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade for 2014:<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade (Octo\u00adber 4 until Octo\u00adber 25)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The third and final ret\u00adro\u00adgrade of 2014 is here, and Mer\u00adcury will move from about 2 Scor\u00adpio back to around 17 Libra. Just as in the pre\u00advi\u00adous two ret\u00adro\u00adgrades, you are bridg\u00ading the ele\u00adments here as you move back out of Water and into an Air Sign. With all three Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrades hav\u00ading had this link\u00adage of Water and Air, you have been giv\u00aden an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to form a much deep\u00ader appre\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion of the inte\u00adgral con\u00adnec\u00adtion between the depth of your Feel\u00adings and the wis\u00addom of your Thoughts. As you will often find though with Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, many issues in your present day life may slow down or be put on hold as you go back to fin\u00adish some mat\u00adters that you left behind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Her\u00admes, the mes\u00adsen\u00adger of the Gods is pass\u00ading you by. Oh yes, it seems as if he is going \u201cback\u00adwards\u201d to you\u2026But that is because your point of view is lim\u00adit\u00aded and cir\u00adcum\u00adscribed by the nature of your expe\u00adri\u00adence in this dance of the plan\u00adets. Plan\u00adets nev\u00ader go in reverse, of course, but rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly speak\u00ading you will come to real\u00adize more about the nature of truth vs. Truth, and that what appears to be so obvi\u00adous\u00adly true, well it is not quite true after all.<\/p>\n

In a way, each Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade pro\u00advides anoth\u00ader reminder from the stars, as you strive to become wis\u00ader, that the key to this is Humil\u00adi\u00adty. Mer\u00adcury reminds you that you must first let go of your pre\u00adsump\u00adtions and pre\u00adcon\u00adcep\u00adtions, which by deliv\u00ader\u00ading to you what you expect also hide from you the Greater Real\u00adi\u00adty in which you abide. You must be hum\u00adbled by your mis\u00adcon\u00adcep\u00adtions, and the errors and mis\u00adtakes that they cre\u00adate, you must \u201csuf\u00adfer\u201d in order to let go of the less\u00ader so that you might rise into the Greater Under\u00adstand\u00ading. For when you let go of your old, cer\u00adtain per\u00adspec\u00adtives (which are also your blind\u00aders), you can then open your\u00adself to the uni\u00adverse with the eyes of a child, filled with won\u00adder and new-found delights.<\/p>\n

You are seek\u00ading \u201cthe way\u201d, you are always look\u00ading for answers. The prob\u00adlem is you do not know what you do not know, and you can\u00adnot find a bet\u00adter answer unless you pose a more inclu\u00adsive ques\u00adtion. You have to con\u00adstant\u00adly ques\u00adtion your assump\u00adtions, and there is no bet\u00adter time to do this than when Mer\u00adcury takes you back with\u00adin your\u00adself, and this \u201cMen\u00adtal\u00adi\u00adty of the Moment\u201d turns inward and helps you to con\u00adsid\u00ader the nature of thought itself.<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade is an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to re-exam\u00adine you, to turn your won\u00adder\u00adful fac\u00adul\u00adty of self-con\u00adscious\/\u00adself-aware\u00adness back upon itself, and with the help of your High\u00ader Self, to pierce beyond your own self-cast shadows.<\/p>\n

First you must be will\u00ading to take these oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties, to know that in every sin\u00adgle moment in which you expe\u00adri\u00adence an obsta\u00adcle, delay, imped\u00adi\u00adment and defeat is yet anoth\u00ader chance for you to turn your\u00adself around. Each cri\u00adsis is actu\u00adal\u00adly anoth\u00ader pre\u00adcious moment in which you can choose to grow, to take anoth\u00ader path, to find a bet\u00adter way to be. And, if you do this, you will become more aligned with and true to your High\u00ader Self, who is ever faith\u00adful, stead\u00adfast and by your side. Your High\u00ader Self or Beloved is there always with kind\u00adli\u00adness and com\u00adpas\u00adsion, whose \u201csoul\u201d pur\u00adpose is to lift you up into this bet\u00adter way of being\u2026but you have to choose\u2026you must choose to let go of the old ways and grow.<\/p>\n

From now until Octo\u00adber 10th<\/sup>, Mer\u00adcury will ret\u00adro\u00adgrade in Scor\u00adpio and Her\u00admes\u2019 lamp of lucid\u00adi\u00adty will shine upon your most heart-felt of feelings\u2026that you desire to tru\u00adly cross the divide between I and Thou and expe\u00adri\u00adence a deep, deep union with one anoth\u00ader. To do this, with Mercury\u2019s help, you need to shine the lamp of Min\u00ader\u00adva upon your shad\u00adows, those fears of rejec\u00adtion and loss, and do what\u00adev\u00ader you can to put them behind you.<\/p>\n

If you fail to do this, then these karmic bonds will pre\u00advent you from being a freer, liv\u00ading spir\u00adit, where spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal strength is mea\u00adsured in your vul\u00adner\u00ada\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty, com\u00admit\u00adment and open\u00adness. For it is these Lov\u00ading Qual\u00adi\u00adties which form the absolute require\u00adment for build\u00ading a greater union with one another.<\/p>\n

Yes, you were hurt, and yes you can (and will) be hurt again, for this is how you learn\u2026But if you hold your\u00adself back and fail to cre\u00adate the con\u00addi\u00adtions for what your heart desires, well then you have already lost, for you have reject\u00aded your\u00adself, and anoth\u00ader oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to grow will be lost. Choose instead to face your fears, choose instead to let them go\u2026and grow.<\/p>\n

Then from the 10th<\/sup> until the 25th<\/sup> of Octo\u00adber, while Mer\u00adcury con\u00adtin\u00adues to ret\u00adro\u00adgrade in Libra, you will be remind\u00aded of how your aware\u00adness is formed through the inter\u00adplay of one another\u2019s points of views and per\u00adspec\u00adtives. You are not made by you alone, as many, many souls have touched and illu\u00admi\u00adnat\u00aded your jour\u00adney, and helped to form and forge your aware\u00adness, as you have done like\u00adwise for count\u00adless souls as well.<\/p>\n

You are made of one anoth\u00ader, and you need to take this time to remem\u00adber that you do not, real\u00adly, know much on your own at all. The very term \u201cCon\u00adscious\u00adness\u201d means \u201cKnow\u00ading-Togeth\u00ader\u201d, and you should see that your mind and thought-forms are more like a field of ener\u00adgies that sweep through and between you, mak\u00ading each of you what you are, but that your very con\u00adscious\u00adness is insep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adble from you being made of and by one anoth\u00ader too. Your strength comes from shar\u00ading, blend\u00ading and know\u00ading together.<\/p>\n

You need one anoth\u00ader, to bal\u00adance and coun\u00adter\u00adpoint, to medi\u00adate and mod\u00adu\u00adlate your thoughts through one anoth\u00ader. With Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade in Libra, you need to refresh your \u201cMind that is Relat\u00aded\u00adness\u201d, to be thank\u00adful to those who have sup\u00adport\u00aded your jour\u00adney on this path to wis\u00addom, and be grate\u00adful that they gave you the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to help them to see beyond their shad\u00adows too.<\/p>\n

Wel\u00adcome this gift of the Spirit\u2026<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury is ret\u00adro\u00adgrade now, and stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

You are here to grow,<\/p>\n

You are here to be together.<\/p>\n

You are here to learn,<\/p>\n

You are here to be better.<\/p>\n

Let Her\u00admes light your way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
