We have entered the pre-shadow period of Mercury’s final retrograde of 2020.
(Thurs, Oct 15th through Tues Nov 3rd)
This pre-shadow intensity will get stronger as we enter next week’s dark moon phase – 10/15 through 10/18.
Mercury officially goes retrograde next week, on the 16th, with the new moon
A moon that initiates all that is to come with the full, blue moon of Samhain {Halloween}, on October 31st.

“What goes around comes back around this year”

The apathy, fatigue, and frustration
that have been building in 2020,
will to continue to haunt us as we work our way towards the final days of the year.

This Mercury Retrograde and end of year transition,
is giving an aggressive push toward the growth {change} we are asked to finalize this year.
Further agitating us and, in turn,
Further stressing our systems.
(The adrenals, in particular.)

But with this push forward movement,
comes the M.R. tendency to slow things down
– via challenged communication and “technical difficulties”.
As well as by churning up the past.

There is definitely the sense that we will be given …
”The opportunity to try again” …
To do better with our choices, our actions and our REACTIONS.
To utilize the wisdom from the past to overcome
the old, outdated habits, patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that will (of course) rise up.
{because we – the collective, refuse to let them go}

Think back to where you were earlier this year
– psychologically, emotionally and spiritually
Consider where your responses and mindset may need to change or may need to return to where they were once aligned

…”A gentle approach will bring balance to these abrasive days”…

Wisdom gained through past experiences,
Giving pause, and a soft, gentle touch to all things
will work to ease the way into this period
while helping to counter the tense, aggressive energy of the collective

Some interesting things are on the horizon, still, for 2020.
Anchor more fully into the grounded and expansive nature of the true self.
Go inward.
Find that place of balance and internal peace.
Strive to maintain focused energy there
– in order to navigate the coming days with ease
