<\/dt>\nTime and again, how and what you think correlates to what Mercury is doing. That does not mean you are a planet’s puppet. It means you can be a planet’s partner.<\/p>\n
You can begin your partnership with Mercury by being aware of where it’s been, where it is, and where it is going. Right now, it is hosting a get-together.<\/p>\n
Mercury is a host until Friday’s ingress to Cancer because it rules the current field of its expression: Gemini. The Sun, Venus and Jupiter are in soiree there now, symbolically sorting things out. That probably fits your situation now.<\/p>\n
After three eclipses in four weeks, April likely feels like long ago. For those of you in the United States, a long holiday weekend may have entailed some miles traveled as well. After all of that, it would not be surprising if you needed to launder your socks and get them organized again. As with socks, so with thoughts, and that means slowing down long enough to get it done.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Even though Mercury will be first to leave its Gemini party, its apparent motion is decelerating quickly. That’s a cue for you to do the same. Just for a drill, stop and think today about your to-do list for this week. If you can find one thing you don’t really need to get done before Friday, you will have taken the next step (after awareness) in partnership with Mercury — employing discernment. That skill will come in handy very soon.<\/p>\n
You want to take time now to practice discernment because of what Mercury’s slowdown is leading up to. It’s returning to the elemental realm of water when it enters Cancer for another retrograde.<\/p>\n
Appropriate to the ways of water, after discerning the item to eliminate from your to-do list, go deeper to the third step — exercising your intent. Begin by taking some of the time this week gives to recall Mercury’s previous voyage through elemental water earlier this year. Mercury’s Pisces retrograde contributed to make its time in that sign more than two months, roughly from the second week of February through the second week of April.<\/p>\n
Sort through your memory of Mercury’s long cruise across Pisces to discern what thoughts you would not want to revisit from that time, and those that you would. Then, take some time to think about how you could enhance the chances of re-creating the parts you liked, while preventing the parts you didn’t. That’s putting your intent to work, and it can be a very powerful thing if you take the opportunity just as you would take time.<\/p>\n
One thing for sure, once Mercury enters Cancer on Friday, it will be there for a long while, until August 8. Once again because of a retrograde commencing June 26, and once again giving you the time, and a choice, of how to think about it. All it will require of you is three easy steps.<\/p>\n
If you start thinking now, you can use the awareness of astrology and your experience from earlier this year to choose your mindset. If you begin sorting through your thoughts now, you can discern your place in partnership with Mercury. If you practice now, you can exercise your intent and make it stronger, just as you would a muscle. That way Mercury’s ingress to Cancer on Friday can be an occasion to bring the sky down to your life, while also lifting your life into harmony with the heavens. It all begins inside your head. It all begins today.<\/p>\n
