Aligned for Mercury Retrograde

Consider how thoughts are influenced by the world around you: The music, the news, the environment of your local reality. It’s a stunning array of images and information out of which you create the mosaic of your life. Celebrate diversity!

  There is a nest of bright, shiny ideas quite within reach. Truly our experience of the world emanates from how we think about it: How we conceptualize it. Let there be light on all good ideas, knowing full well that although an idea or an ideal can be a perfect model it is not the same once it is manifest. We cannot live in the blueprint. We must build the house. 

It’s as if Mercury is waving good bye at the end of the Famous Year, 2012; a year of great transition; the alpha and omega of years. In Capricorn, an earth sign, Mercury is about practical things. There are so many opportunities and inventions still to come; songs to be written and sung, people to be healed. A good way to bring in the New Year might be to make a list of possibilities: Personal and collective. The sextile to Neptune suggests we might benefit from a bit of dreaming as well as planning. Then we need to sit with it for a while. Many things are possible but nothing is guaranteed.
