In a session with a shopper this week, as we had been speaking about Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, I described this as like taking part in whac-a-mole with e mail/the inbox. Like, you ship out 10 responses solely to get 15 again.
Otherwise you type out 5 issues solely to search out one other 7 awaiting your consideration.

(As a aspect observe, Mercury rx is occurring in her month-to-month profected home and it’s my month-to-month profected timelord proper now, so admittedly we’re each just a little extra personally tied to the present Mercury Rx, in case you personally are having a unique expertise!)
Technically Mercury has 4 components difficult its situation for the time being:

In case your thoughts may do with some ease or grace, you would possibly get pleasure from this Mary Oliver poem that I’ve been studying on repeat:
When I’m Among the many Bushes
Mary Oliver
When I’m among the many timber,
particularly the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they provide off such hints of gladness.
I’d nearly say that they save me, and each day.
I’m so distant from the hope of myself,
wherein I’ve goodness, and discernment,
and by no means hurry by the world
however stroll slowly, and bow usually.
Round me the timber stir of their leaves
and name out, “Keep awhile.”
The sunshine flows from their branches.
And so they name once more, “It’s easy,” they are saying,
“and also you too have come
into the world to do that, to go simple, to be crammed
with mild, and to shine.”
My therapist talked about this poem in a session just lately. I’ve been particularly mulling over the half the place it says:
“and also you too have come
into the world to do that, to go simple, to be crammed
with mild, and to shine.”
As a lot as I can I’m utilizing this Mercury retrograde to mirror on what it’d imply to go simple. I’m additionally attempting to tune into the place and after I personally get that feeling of “such hints of gladness”.
Right now, December 12, 2024, as Mercury retrograde varieties a candy sextile with Venus in Aquarius, I give you this poem, within the hopes that it could give you some ease or a second of sweetness.
And if you need extra on Mercury Retrograde, I’m going deep on this latest podcast right here.
