Moving Forward Again...

Switching it up in honor of Mercury coming out of retrograde, yay, I just took a peek at today's astrological chart, and there were a few things that I noticed. It seems as if there is a lot of sympathy for others at this time and it wouldn't be surprising if you are drawn to behave in a 'nesting' manner. Taking care of other people and your family is a loving task. If there are people around you who are ill or just not doing well for some reason, it would make the universe and everybody happy if you did something nice for them, just make sure you don't take 'pity'. Help from the heart, and resist the urge to say anything regarding the persons weakness or emphasize how the person is unable to do xyz. On the other hand, if delicately given from a kind and non-snooty space, if you are in a good shape and you see someone hurting, giving good advice or helping someone achieve a goal that seems easy for you but is hard for them may be appreciated. This includes all areas in our life, including our workplaces or even where we shop. In general it's a good time to reach out to others in a motherly fashion. Just don't do the scary, what my daughter calls the "Mommy Stare" or turn bad mommy, be good mommy. There may be some general confusion when it comes to love or thinking things through, but that confusion can turn into great problem solving, and now is a good time to brainstorm and express any ideas that have been on hold for the past few weeks. I wouldn't reveal any deep dark secrets at this time, just deal with immediate surface stuff. Try not to tangle emotion with thoughts and confuse close relationships, remember this is a time to nurture others and that also includes nurturing the people who are the nearest to us. The best course of action right now is to act out of compassion and come from a place of appreciation and beauty and focus on others and try to get out of your own head. Let's take care of each other, and if things get a little crazy, find a little down time and pick up a book or your kindle and activate your mind. Reading a self help book would be fun, I'm reading a book right now called "The Inner Game of Tennis" about peak performance. Today is a good day for reading or even writing! What's your next step?
