The Revisioning

Deliciously immersed in the natural world and away from all that has consumed me for the last little while is lighting me up. A whirl of commitments & social media obligations, the have-to's and must-have's I have been turning myself inside out for, deadlines and goals stopped owning me for an all too brief few days. Bliss. It is only sometimes once we step away (or are wrenched from it) that we can understand the hold external imperatives have on us.

Under these slow cooked retrograde skies, all that was fixed and known is shifting. The movement is slow and organic without our constant adjustment and intervention, tectonic in its changes. This is the kind of re-visioning we can expect yet more of once Mercury joins our retrograde players this Friday. These pause buttons are the kind of divine intervention that hold our hands back rather than forcing them. They demand buckets of patience and generous lashings of surrender. Most of all we are asked to trust: in a plan greater than ourselves and an outcome we cannot yet conceive. It is a tall order no matter what part of the recovering control freak spectrum we inhabit.

Standard Merc Rx protocols apply: back up thy life and don't sign on any big dotted lines. Cultivate change but beware the false dawns that will dazzle you under these shifting skies. Eyes peeled for the slow burning magic. Play long.
