Supermarket shopping a few days before Mercury went retrograde, but well into the shadow, I found myself intrigued by a store display of the new Martha Stewart CLEAN products. Since they were on sale or perhaps it was some promotional deal, I decided to try at least the household cleaner. 10 days later I am chuckling at the trickster planet or what it means to be aligned with Mercury retrograde as I am now fixated on these cleaning products and how well they work. This is not a paid advertisement for Martha for those of you ready to choke. (…but FYI Martha – Mercury retrograde may be the best time to promote these products!)
First of all – seriously – they are great products. They are organic, plant based and have no odor. Best all – they have amazing cleaning properties. I used the cleaner on my worn out counter which actually started to shine after a few squirts and I am not sure if this is possible but it felt new. So I went back to get the bathroom cleaner and the dishsoap liquid. My ancient Denby stoneware plates are looking new, my flatware is shiny and the bathtub is now fun to wipe down if ony to see the glow. Everytime I am near the cleaning stuff I am now tempted to see what it will do for the next corner of my apartment. I was spraying away at 7:00AM while waiting for coffee when it hit me – wait a minute! This is out of character for me – but very aligned for Mercury.
But that is not all. I did have the intention ”My home is in order” happening for the Spring Equinox repatterning as well as Aligned for Mercury retrograde. Having Martha show up with motivating products was one thing. However, my building seems also to be included. This is an example of the relationship coherence that can happen when your energy field is coherent. Last week management decided to deal with the long standing ant problem in the building and sent experts in to deal with that. Next, I have been told that of all the capital repairs to make on the building giving my suite a new balcony is on the top priority list. It will happen next week. I am wondering if there is a Martha Stewart product to clean up balconies. LOL
So Julie – what do you think? Is Mercury just rolling with laughter. Am I aligned or what?
What do you love about Mercury retrograde?
First the balcony is cleared off...
There are a few more days of mercury retrograde left but the fun continues. True to Julie’s insights for Mercury doing it’s retrograde trip in Aries, the tenants in my apartment complex were served with 10 days notice that the buildings were being outfitted with new balconies. Work ensued as announced to the minute 10 days later. So what is Mercury retrograde about all of this and where does aligning fit in?
The work on the balconies I figure must be long over-due as I have personally, witnessed large chunks of cement fall from the balconies over the past few years. Quick Aries action is addressing the retrograde issue of getting important things fixed – in this case immediately and with gusto. It looked like an army of construction workers on several scaffolds turned up to do all this work. In little over a week and a half the balconies of the front of 2 buildings are now completely gutted.
So what is aligned about all of this for me? For most people the short notice and dawning
realization they would be without a balcony for the summer months was difficult to receive. There have been no less than 3 resident meetings with angry complaints to address the situation. People are upset. However, for me, my family and friends showed up almost immediately to help with all the stuff that needed to be removed from the balcony, cleaned of its outdoor winter grime and artfully placed inside the apartment. Some bigger items are going to a friend’s garage. I was inspired to use my new aroma oil diffuser and an oil called Purification for several days and the atmosphere now feels remarkably settled. It also feels lighter as I took the opportunity to let go of planters and bits of gardening things I hadn’t used in several years.
The drilling and banging construction sounds have been annoying but so far with
and then there is no railing!
the exception of one coaching call that had to be rescheduled, all of my telephone work has so far (crossing fingers) happened between the drilling spells. I feel like Mercury is just smiling on me while others are fighting the flow of things or finding it difficult.
Getting new balconies with Mercury retrograde or not, was likely inevitable. Going with the flow and appreciating the positive in the situation for me is the result of alignment of the group Resonance Repatterning session. There may have been only 1 or 2 patterns that applied to my situation but they have made all the difference to my well being.
What is your March 30-April 23 Mercury retrograde story?
With love and light,
