WEDNESDAY 18 January

Hello MERCURY GOING DIRECT! Woo! I tell you what. You all know that every other Mercury Retrograde for 20 plus years I have been talking about how AMAZING this time is. This is the VERY FIRST ONE where I am ready to get this over with and get back to no more personal planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) in retrograde.

BUT!!! We are at least in that magical space when Mercury finally shifts gears, and THEN gifts, answers, solutions and energy are to rise for us again. Over the past few days and going for about three more in the future, things will find you, and they WILL lift you to greater heights. This is when things finally connect, and you see the way through some obstacle or challenge. So hold your head high and KNOW that you WILL get through what has sucked the life out of you, and things WILL get a bit easier in regard to manifesting and actually seeing things come to reality.

With two personal planets in retro, our personal lives have been pulled backwards -- and they were NOT to make sense to us. We WERE to be hitting our head on the wall and getting lost in corners because we THOUGHT it was the path for us. But this time is about showing that things change and what worked in your past is not going to work in the future you are longing to create. Where we are now is with honoring that there are steps in life and that the view changes the higher you go. But just like how I talk about the spiritual journey and how early on in the process, we are SO judgmental. Something about now waking up and seeing the way makes us look at everyone behind us as actually beneath us.

But in reality, those first years of judgment and superiority are written as steps that MUST be walked. We have learned to leap over steps, to pay our way to the top and to NOT want to do what really needs to be done as we are the microwaved generations who think we need it all right now and that easy is best. But actually, the hard steps and the hard part of the road is when we really grow into a powerful being and not just an idea or projection or superficial front on how we WANT to be seen. This Mercury retro in Capricorn brought waves of cold and brittle to our consciousness as we were to REALLY see where we are and where we want to be. It was to give us new goals and to also take away paths, people and places that are NOT serving you or were not true companions to your dreams. There are things in life that feel oh so right and there are things that make us compromise or become someone we are not because we don’t actually resonate. This energy gave us all a nudge in a new direction and now its time to get moving!

SO. The next few days are going to explain it all and give you what you wondered about for the past few weeks. It is when pieces will drop into your mind, and you will see that THIS IS IT. You should notice new ideas around your career or ways to change your ideas on the outer world so that it IS producing what you want. Like what we talked about days ago, see any challenges as ENDING and THIS being the last time you will walk such a thing. Use your mind and energy to really see that you have a place in the world and that you are just waiting for your perfect timings. People can rush us and be full of angst in trying to get us to move before our time, but you have an inner clock that knows better than all those pushy people who are just running on ego fumes. So trust your process and continue on with how it feels good in YOUR body. Something is coming and we just need you stoked that it is on the way and drawing it closer so that it can surprise you with seeing that you ARE okay.
