<\/dt>\nIf you’ve ever traveled to many places in a short period, you know fatigue is problematic. That’s how your first priority should be to get as much sleep as possible during the next three nights.<\/p>\n
After going into Friday without a sleep deficit, the next issue in order of importance will be less general and more specific to the\u00a0impending eclipse cycle. That’s because Mercury will commence apparent reverse motion through Scorpio at 6:29 am EDT Monday, just as your trip has gotten underway.<\/p>\n
If you were to take a poll of those who know of but are not actually knowledgeable about astrology, Mercury retrogrades and eclipses would probably be very high on the list of astrological events with a bad name. That’s how your next highest priority (after getting your rest) should be taking the time-honored advice not to believe the hype.<\/p>\n
The term “hype” is derived from the less colloquial word “hyperbole.” It’s a term often applied to exaggerations, extrapolations, magnifications or elaborations of fact, usually made for the purpose of selling you on something. If you have any one advantage going into the metaphorical whirlwind trip that begins Friday, it’s the fact that you have been exposed to more hype than any of your ancestors going back to the first sucker punch.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, know ahead of time that you know better, and need not be taken for a sucker. Don’t fear the beard, or anything weird. As a matter of fact, consider fear as you would consider any one-sided relationship that drains you dry — useless. Between now and Nov. 4 especially, fear can only serve to use you, not be useful to you. Fear can only waste your time.<\/p>\n
Time is another essential element. By definition, a whirlwind trip consists of timely arrivals, closely followed by timely departures, one after another, in an unbroken chain. In order to keep the chain unbroken, especially during a Mercury retrograde, you will need to be not only well rested to begin with, and fearless throughout, but also diligent.<\/p>\n
One dictionary definition of “diligent” is “constant in effort to accomplish something.” That’s how it would be a good idea to have something to accomplish during the two-plus weeks that follow Friday and conclude on Nov. 3. It doesn’t have to be something big. As a matter of fact, the nature of an eclipse cycle concurrent with Mercury retrograde is such that you should have an itinerary of small things towards which to apply your constant effort to a cumulative end.<\/p>\n
Regardless of what cumulative accomplishment you may set for the eclipse cycle nearly upon us, please finally do not forget the journey — and enjoying it. For any trip, whirlwind or otherwise, to be worthwhile, you must enjoy the scenery and its changes. While the changes will vary depending on who and where you are, changes there will be.<\/p>\n
Between this coming Friday and Nov. 3, the Sun will finish illuminating Libra’s scenery, moving on to traverse an entirely different representation of consciousness through Scorpio. During the same period, the Moon will cross more than half a dozen cusps of inner scenery to the other side of the zodiac. Eventually, after chasing the Sun down, the Moon will briefly block its light from reaching the Earth while bringing you out on the other side of your whirlwind trip at the same time. <\/p>\n
Indeed, besides the changing solar and lunar scenery during your trip, much will transpire while you pass through as eventful an eclipse cycle as any of us have toured in a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That’s how you might want to take good look around you now before getting the good night’s sleep that should be your first priority. Get to know everything around and about you so that you will better appreciate the changes you are about to encounter. Start now so that those changes will be free from fatigue, fear and hype. Begin today so that at least some of those changes will be diligently undertaken, and enjoyed, as your own.<\/p>\n
