The Way to Wisdom<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury turns ret\u00adro\u00adgrade in the sign of Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius, (@29 degrees, 18 min\u00adutes) on Decem\u00adber 2\u20133, and will turn direct in Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius (@13 degrees) on Decem\u00adber 22. It is that time once again to turn your mind around, to be more inward\u00adly atten\u00adtive and pen\u00adsive. Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade is a won\u00adder\u00adful oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to re-con\u00adsid\u00ader your per\u00adcep\u00adtions, assump\u00adtions and thoughts; it is time to clear your mind of clut\u00adter once again.<\/p>\n

As always, since every\u00adone else will be sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adly altered in their bal\u00adance between out\u00adward atten\u00adtive\u00adness and inward con\u00adscious\u00adness, it will be even more impor\u00adtant to care\u00adful\u00adly lis\u00adten to one anoth\u00ader and to com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adcate with them more care\u00adful\u00adly. Though mis\u00adcom\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtions hap\u00adpen every day, Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade can often fos\u00adter a mul\u00adti\u00adplic\u00adi\u00adty of mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings. The result can be a series of mis\u00adsteps and mis\u00adcues that can turn small errors into big\u00adger and big\u00adger mis\u00adtakes, and it can lead to great dam\u00adage for your rela\u00adtion\u00adships. The stress of errors builds with\u00adin you, and between one anoth\u00ader, and you (or they) may find your tol\u00ader\u00adance and com\u00adpo\u00adsure erode as you stum\u00adble into conflict.<\/p>\n

Dur\u00ading Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, you will cer\u00adtain\u00adly need to adopt a more for\u00adgiv\u00ading atti\u00adtude for your\u00adself (and for one anoth\u00ader), as these mis\u00adsteps mul\u00adti\u00adply and frus\u00adtra\u00adtions mount. With Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, it will be even more impor\u00adtant for you to prac\u00adtice self-for\u00adgive\u00adness, and equal\u00adly extend your for\u00adgive\u00adness towards others.<\/p>\n

Remem\u00adber, all of this is not the \u201cfault\u201d of Mer\u00adcury, it is mere\u00adly because most of us do not remem\u00adber, per\u00adceive or under\u00adstand what is hap\u00adpen\u00ading; we tend to car\u00adry on each day as we did the day before, unaware of the changes that are con\u00adstant\u00adly unfold\u00ading through the Ener\u00adgy-Forms of Mercury.<\/p>\n

Tru\u00adly, Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade should real\u00adly be under\u00adstood as a pre\u00adcious gift of the spir\u00adit, as it encour\u00adages you to become ever more self-reflec\u00adtive and self-cor\u00adrec\u00adtive. It is one of the prin\u00adci\u00adpal means by which you will move towards greater self-mas\u00adtery. You will know this self-mas\u00adtery is real when your growth in Wis\u00addom is pro\u00adpor\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly matched by your deep\u00aden\u00ading sense of Humil\u00adi\u00adty too. Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrade brings you an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to make improvements\/corrections in your con\u00adscious\u00adness, which is essen\u00adtial to your forg\u00ading a bet\u00adter under\u00adstand\u00ading of your\u00adself and of one another.<\/p>\n

The entire ret\u00adro\u00adgrade takes place in the Sign of Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius, so the focus of your renew\u00adal of aware\u00adness will most cer\u00adtain\u00adly be upon the very nature of Truth and Under\u00adstand\u00ading. You will need to re-con\u00adsid\u00ader the ves\u00adsels of mean\u00ading that shape your beliefs, that form and inform your \u201cfacts\u201d. Whether by Reli\u00adgion or Sci\u00adence, Faith or Rea\u00adson, the real\u00adi\u00adty you are attempt\u00ading to nav\u00adi\u00adgate depends upon your lev\u00adel of spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal con\u00adscious\u00adness, and then you must align your under\u00adstand\u00ading with those with whom you journey.<\/p>\n

Most mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings arise from an incom\u00adplete foun\u00adda\u00adtion of shared prin\u00adci\u00adples, foun\u00adda\u00adtions and essen\u00adtial truths. As a result, the very \u201cfacts\u201d that each par\u00adty may hold can\u00adnot be aligned or agreed upon. The ques\u00adtions boil down to what is real\u00adly \u201creal\u201d.<\/p>\n

To help to over\u00adcome these mutu\u00adal mis\u00adper\u00adcep\u00adtions, fol\u00adlow the lead offered in Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius and expand your per\u00adcep\u00adtion\u00adal frames of ref\u00ader\u00adence. Look first and fore\u00admost to the Ancient Wis\u00addom found at the heart of every Reli\u00adgion; and the Log\u00adic and Rea\u00adson in the vast trea\u00adsury of Philoso\u00adphies and Sci\u00adences. Be hum\u00adble, as you walk upon an ancient road; count\u00adless oth\u00aders have come this way before you. Many ques\u00adtions have been asked, and answered. So, look to the Wise Ones for inspi\u00adra\u00adtion, guid\u00adance and peace of mind.<\/p>\n

With these ancient cer\u00adtain\u00adties pro\u00advid\u00ading some com\u00admon base of con\u00adtext, it is best to step back and re-con\u00adsid\u00ader the present source of dis\u00adcord. Try to start from some fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal truth or prin\u00adci\u00adple and build upon that. Estab\u00adlish com\u00admon cen\u00adters and bound\u00adaries to hold your thoughts in con\u00adcert with one anoth\u00ader. Then see where the mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings arise in the areas of your unshared con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions. Bring mat\u00adters to a fuller illu\u00admi\u00adna\u00adtion by reduc\u00ading the fog of false assump\u00adtions or false facts.<\/p>\n

You are here to help one anoth\u00ader in so many ways. One way is by shin\u00ading a light upon one another\u2019s blind-spots, those self-cast shad\u00adows which often ensnare one or both of you in bub\u00adbles of self-con\u00adfirm\u00ading errors of assump\u00adtions. You are here for one anoth\u00ader, and your aware\u00adness and wis\u00addom come pre\u00adcise\u00adly through your pro\u00advid\u00ading a lit\u00adtle more light, by illu\u00admi\u00adnat\u00ading what is real\u00adly \u201creal\u201d for one another.<\/p>\n

This is pre\u00adcise\u00adly how you lift your aware\u00adness for one anoth\u00ader. Remem\u00adber, the very word \u201cCon\u00adscious\u00adness\u201d means \u201cTogeth\u00ader-Know\u00ading\u201d, and it is only by being a light to one anoth\u00ader that you can lift one anoth\u00ader up to a more inclu\u00adsive under\u00adstand\u00ading. Only togeth\u00ader can you advance upon the Path of Wis\u00addom, as you dis\u00adpel the shad\u00adows and fogs of fear and bring one anoth\u00ader clos\u00ader to the ever\u00adlast\u00ading Light.<\/p>\n

Give thanks to Mer\u00adcury, the mes\u00adsen\u00adger of the gods, who reminds you that your jour\u00adney requires that you con\u00adstant\u00adly strive to illu\u00admi\u00adnate the dark spaces in your own mind, and that you can only do this by help\u00ading one anoth\u00ader too.<\/p>\n

Remem\u00adber to first ques\u00adtion your\u00adself; then ask ques\u00adtions of one another.<\/p>\n

Be what you are, be a light for one another.<\/p>\n

Remove the shad\u00adows of fear, those dim-lit echoes of your past misunderstandings.<\/p>\n

Bow to the Wise Ones who came this way before.<\/p>\n

Fol\u00adlow their exam\u00adple of Humil\u00adi\u00adty and Grace.<\/p>\n

Be open, be hum\u00adble and you will per\u00adceive the Light.<\/p>\n

And togeth\u00ader you will move along the Path of Wis\u00addom and Love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
