A NEW MOON SWEEPS CLEAN - REJOICE!

Everybody - even the dogs on the street - have been complaining about the recent Mercury retrograde reign of terror..."The worst one yet!"..."When is it about to end?"..."Can I take my planetary armour off?" Well, the good news is, Mercury turns direct on Tuesday, July 1st in the cardinal sign of Cancer. It will have a happy landing, supported by Mars in Libra and the Moon in Leo. So good times are ahead!

As we know, life is always a "mixed" bag - we just need to appreciate the good times and be on guard for the less savoury moments. With the current Pluto-flavoured Mars/Uranus opposition, my advice to you all in the coming week is "Pick your arguments," or better still, "No fighting!" Mr. Temper will be out walking, and you don't want to bump into him!

The best news of all is a new moon in Cancer tomorrow, so set your intentions tonight... A double dose of cardinal energy is a pretty nice consolation prize after all that nasty Mercury retro gunk. Cardinal energy gets the job done!

Cancer is the sign of the nurturer, caretaker, and is the "Mama Bear of the Zodiac." This is a time for you to nurture yourself and your loved ones. For those who have difficulty with all that slushy mushy stuff, get thee to a beach or tranquil garden. Added moodiness and confusion are also in the planetary energy as we speak. Not a great time for negotiating, as people are sticking their heels in! This too shall pass...and suddenly, I might add.

Take advantage of this coming new moon tomorrow. Seize the Day! A new moon sweeps the cobwebs from your tired soul. Be nice to yourself, and spread the love around...

Cheers for now!

WE NEED TO TALK - FAST!!

O.K. O.K. it's that dreaded time of year again - mercury retrograde with its accompanying confusion, chaos, deception and 'foggy mind' syndrome. Was Friday the 13th weird for you?? In addition to the MR curse, we also had a full moon in Sagittarius opposing the sun in Gemini yesterday. I planned ahead and kept my mind and body busy. I had my daughter's Graduation and that was beautiful. I stayed away from trouble!!

I don't particularly like this current MR in the sign of Gemini, which is ruled by Mercury. Why? Because mercury is known to be a trickster of sorts, and there sure is a lot of trickin' going on at the moment, and none of it is a treat!! I listen to people talking, I observe, I see, and yes, MR has been busy.

Over the next few weeks, until the beginning of July, employ due diligence in all your affairs - especially contracts, computers, cars, and your communications with others. Leave clear messages on telephones, emails, etc. Speak directly, and deliver what you promise. Then all shall be well - forewarned is half the battle! Arm yourself.

Now to the positive!!

This is a time for introspection and alone-time. You can gain a lot from finishing projects you started hundreds of hours ago. Finish that half painted back door, sew that button sitting on the sideboard, back onto your jacket where it belongs, write that thank-you letter, create your dream board (great time for that), start that blog, de-clutter - YES! - great time for that. Burn old papers, out with the old - in with the new.

Mercury retrograde is a time to get in touch with yourself, quieten your mind somewhat. Clear the way for brand new beginnings...

Hope that helps!!
