don't you love this antique map image?! Found it here.
J U L Y 15 - 21
Yesterday, Mercury went into retrograde, prompting us to take a much needed pause until August 8. We find ourselves at the apex of this powerful 5 year. The first half was spent identifying what needed to change. Now, and for the rest of the year, we embark on actualizing that change. So this Mercury Retrograde is particularly well-timed, as its energy encourages us NOT to take action, rather to exist in a place of reflection, revision and contemplation. Embrace the pause. Rest your spirit and, most importantly, turn off the mental - don't overthink or analyze or critique. Spend the next 3 weeks letting your heart connect with your passion and vividly dreaming, without editing, about your ultimate goals.
The new moon arriving late Wednesday/early Thursday will help us see the options and choices unfolding before us. Leo's influence, in both our new moon and this retrograde, aids us in bringing new perspective to old situations. If we allow our mind to rest, it creates distance from our current circumstances, so that we're not looking at them myopically.
For the next 3 weeks, consider not only how far you've come in understanding yourself since January, but consider the seeds that you planted waaay back in 2008, when this new 9 year cycle began. What were your goals then? What were your obstacles? How did you express yourself? The retrograde helps us acknowledge the past and integrate the lessons learned. Celebrate your journey.
love & light
