I hate Mercury Retrograde and everything that goes with it.
I know, I know. It doesn’t have to be that bad, right?
For years now, on my spiritual awakening path I have heard
the forewarnings of Mercury going into retrograde: Beware of communications! READ
the fine print! Travel will be delayed! Your phone will cease to work!!
It get’s a little over exaggerated, but sometimes these
things do happen.
So, when the times comes for that lovely planet to station
and appear to go backwards in the sky, I prepare to go inward and reflect on
things….which translates very often to me going into my hole and not coming out
until it goes direct again. But lately, I have been “bombarded” by messages
that Mercury in retrograde does not have to be so bad. It’s a good time to
finish those projects you’ve already started and live in the now. Yeah, I can
do that…..but….
This past time was pretty much a punch in the gut.
Not only did I feel like crap through part of it, things did seem to go a bit
off, mainly on the communications front. I followed the cardinal rules and
didn’t sign any contracts, but boy did my words not come out right. It seems
that Mercury cannot, nor can anyone else, read my mind. Good lesson.
I’ve also been getting many messages lately of surrender and
acceptance. As a Capricorn, I tend to try to make things happen. When I see
that something needs to be done, I take it upon myself to go ahead and do it.
It means that I can be quite effective. It also means that I tend to get into
situations where I over-do it. This is where I need to surrender and accept.
But in the 3-D old earth plane, there is a stigma that comes
with the word surrender. Most would say it means to “give up the battle.” But I
have come to realize that it does not have to mean that. A friend of mine,
Patricia Tadlock, said it best like this:
“When we surrender, we reach a place of
acceptance, knowing that we are truly the author of our own lives. We are not
weak when we surrender to “what is”…we gift ourselves with the ability to
understand the concept of oneness with all humanity. We are no longer waging a
war within ourselves.”
I don’t need to be a part of every problem presented and I
don’t need to come up with every solution. Sometimes—and maybe most times, I
just need to let it be. Let go and let Goddess. Jesus, take the wheel. But more
importantly, let my higher self do the work—since she already has.
So perhaps it is time for me to stop all my Capricorning and
start living. My guides have been urging me for a year now to have more fun.
And since my life is getting ready to change yet again, I should be enjoying
the time rather than worrying what is going to happen next. Besides, I am the
master of every situation, my life, and my universe.
