Are you impatient today, or is it just “her”, or “him, or “them”? Well, of course, it is all of us. So, be mindful of what you say (and do). Do not let your mouth race ahead of your better judgment. Do not over-react to someone else’s fact/opinion, nor be so quick to defend your own.
Just three weeks ago we experienced this same aspect as Mercury was moving forward. Now, while it is retrograding, we are given a chance to go back and make amends, to fix what was broken, to grow beyond the old and familiar, yet limiting, habits of thinking.
Yes, we are being challenged now to grow beyond our mental fixations. We need to take a fresh look and think “outside the box”, to think creatively. What we need to do now is demonstrate that we are intelligent.
When we are able to look at an issue or problem from more than one perspective, to move beyond this or that, or black and white, then we will perceive a much more meaningful, rich and complex world. Before there was just one thing or the other and we became stuck. We dug in our heels and refused to listen; or we gave up, gave in and let the other have their way.
But, when you open up your mind to another way, to an untried point of view, and you make the space for it, then spirit enters in and shows you a way out of your dilemma. You can then challenge and change your assumptions, step into a new reality, and celebrate the joy of a higher consciousness. This is the promise and challenge of Mercury and Uranus. Free your mind, free yourself.
