The Longest Three Weeks of My Life?
Perhaps. And with about an hour left in Mercury’s retrograde in early Cancer, I’m preparing to engage in various types of spontaneous dancing including, I suspect, jigs.
I was open to all the reflections, lessons, new views, realizations, opportunities for self-healing and so on for the first two weeks, and then found myself on an emotional roller coaster for the last week as Jupiter came into exact conjunction with my Moon, pumping me full of flooding emotions of all kinds, leaving me on the verge of losing it every time I left the house. That Moon is conjunct Mercury and Neptune, trine Chiron on the DSC, opposite Saturn in the 9th, and sextile Venus-Pluto in the 12th - there’s a lot of energy that’s been triggered. I’ve gotten kind of tired, to tell you the truth. So Mercury direct for me is a chance to rest a bit, and I can’t wait.
The biggest swings have been from feeling on top of the world as a slew of writing projects have seen significant progress the last couple of weeks, to feeling on the other side of the world as I process lingering lessons learned (and, um, waiting to be learned) from a relationship that either ended or seems to have ended a couple of months ago. As the transiting Moon (Taurus/8th) opposed my Sun (Scorpio/2nd) today, I was able to get clear on a major piece of it and, to tell you the truth, find center and chill out. This morning, I doubted I still had a center to find.
My posted writing has never been as personal as during this Rx period, though I do tend to use myself as an example to bring various astrology happenings alive for people. I’m not sure if I should be self-conscious or not - is that the MO of a Scorpio Sun with Pluto-Venus in the 12th?
A friend reminded me today to take advantage of the Jupiter shot in the arm on my already highly Sagittarius Moon-Mercury-Neptune, and to get everything on paper that wants to come…she reminded me that I can edit later. So, with Mercury going direct in an hour, I’m going to happily lead myself into what will probably be cramps from typing for hours at a time…I can’t wait.
What juicy stuff did you learn during this retrograde?
