It’s subtle, how the mind shifts like a current under the surface of the sea. Is it the mind of the Universe? Not necessarily. Mercury is not in Cancer for someone on Planet X or even as close as Mars. Is it the mind of Earth? Gaia’s mind? Maybe. And that reminds us that, although our thoughts belong to us individually they also connect us. We are one mind and many. Think, as best you can, as if your thoughts are part of a greater mind.

Today is all about intention. But there is much confusion, distraction, deception and longing laced in with the intending. If you need support, anchor yourself in a good story. A good story orients the psyche.
Anything can and does happen. Inventive, creative, inspired, manic, reckless – it’s all there. A glorious day to ask all questions: Consider all possibilities. What game are you playing?

My Mercury Retrograde Quilting Blues…
This table runner needs a quilt to match! To buy or not to buy during Mercury Retrograde?
Dear Julie – I know I should know better, but i will ask you just in case others have similar Mercury Retrograde blues. In my case I have a huge quilting dilemma.
In the world of quilting things have evolved from patchworking scraps of leftovers, and old clothing into quilted blankets to fashionista type ‘collections’ of matching fabrics. You can’t go wrong sewing a quilt from fabrics selected from a collection as they are all digitally calibrated to ‘match’ each other. The collections come and go sometimes lingering for sale for 2-3 years and others barely last a 5 month season.
My dilemma is this… I want to buy quilt fabric for a new project with base colors of indigo, coffee, and off white. As colors go, it is a rare combination BUT a collection by Edyta Sitar (Laundry Basket Quilts) was announced last January. It is perfect!!!! – except for one thing. It goes on sale during the Mercury retrograde period June 7th – 28th. Sure, I can wait and buy it in July, but by then the choices in the collection will have dwindled. Quilt shops seem to be fewer and farther between.
If I buy my fabric in June, and don’t even contemplate the making of this project til July or August, would you say that is an aligned decision or am I just asking for trouble I will regret later? I am entering this one for repatterning this Saturday!
