Mercury Retrograde was from February 23-March 17, 2013. If you’re not familiar with Mercury Retrograde, well it’s a period of time which lasts anywhere from 20-24 days where the planet Mercury almost comes to a stop, then moves slowly BACKWARDS! When this happens, it is said that one shouldn’t make plans, sign contracts as plans and actions go awry (i.e. communication mix-ups, travel is delayed). Oh and one should expect their computers and/or any electronic devices, cars to go wonky too. I’d like to think of it as a time when Universe releases the Joker making everything go “wild.”
First off, my son’s trip was delayed the previous week and that should have done it for me. Then, last week was horrible, with an exception of my son finally arriving and keeping me sane thru the week. Everything that could go wrong at work, did. Communication was either lost in translation or missing; my computer froze more times than I can count on both hands; and even my map directions were wonky (computer-generated, of course). Funny, no matter how hard I tried to correct myself, things were happening for a reason. At the time, I couldn’t accept this, for I did everything I needed to do by the book. Then, I read somewhere it was the Mercury Retrograde, I’m not one to blame it on the Universe as I was going to do everything in my power to execute my plan of action and prove I could live past the retrograde. Get this, the cherry-topper for the week was when I accidentally tagged a loved one’s name where it didn’t belong and she was very upset (ok—she was livid!) and I apologized for it. So, that was my last straw and I no longer denied that last week’s Mercury Retrograde was in full effect and strong.
Anyway, I always seem to dodge this event and get off easy. At any rate, I STOPPED and thought, this is the time to I need to slow down and reflect before moving forward. I guess what I’m trying to say is that no matter how long you plan something and how hard you work at it, in the end, I believe things work out accordingly and that the Universe throws things our way to get our attention either to learn from a mistake or to slow us down. NEW DAY, NEW WEEK, hence a NEW LIFE. Till next time, My Loves—I bid you all Love, Light & Compassion.
