Astrological times of change influences us all and can bring remarkable things to pass. Even those of us who are not Astrologers can and do benefit from reading the energy emanating from the Cosmos!
There’s a lot going on in the Cosmos and on our beautiful planet. Do you find it difficult at times to stay focused? When this happens to me, I look to the Universe and the Cosmos for illumination.

Be in tune with the rhythm of your soul. You are a grateful willing spirit with a balanced mind and an open heart. When you walk, you never really walk alone because the Universe has your back.
We are in Eclipse season, so the energy floating around the Cosmos is magnified.
May 26: Total Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius
June 10: Solar Eclipse in Gemini
Eclipses are frequently linked to changing circumstances. They are like little nudges from the Universe encouraging us to clear emotional clutter and shift in direction for more light.

Another Astrological occurrence that impacts us is when Mercury goes retrograde.
Mercury goes retrogrades 3-4 times a year. It went retrograde on May 29th 2021 and goes direct on June 22nd.
You probably know the drill…Mercury is the planet of communication so there may be some delays. Think travel and technology. Hello computers, phones, emails, deliveries, contracts, and good old one-on-one communication with friends, co-workers and family.
Not to worry though…remember we are all in this together. Just read emails and contracts a few extra times before signing and sending and allow a little extra time for travel.

When you stop to take a breath, you will notice you have wings.
This is the second Mercury Retrograde of the year and this one is in Gemini.
When a retrograde happens to any planet it looks like the planet stops and moves backward, but it is an optical illusion…there is movement forward.
Planets emanate a lot of energy. There is the light positive side and also the shadow darker side of a planet’s energy. Since this Mercury Retrograde is in Gemini I thought I would explore Gemini traits because I know we will be dealing with them for the next few weeks.
Positive traits of Gemini: carefree, joyful, adaptable, happy, loving, outgoing, smart and dazzeling.
The optimistic energy makes us want to love freely and speak kindly to and about others. The positive side of Gemini is wise and generous and enjoys laughter and spending time with people.
Negative traits of Gemini are: unreliable, impulsive, nervous, tense, restless and overly self-conscious.
The shadow side of Gemini cares overly much about how it is seen in the world. Ego is up in arms and haunted by fear of loss of identity.

Best course of action…
Take time to reflect and re-assess…this is an opportunity to choose a different path or feel even more certain about the path we are on. Retrogrades offer a second chance because there is so much reflection, reassessment, and recharging happening! We may decide, after much consideration, to begin making different choices in what has been an area of stress for us, and therefore, we experience new enriching outcomes.
How we process our thoughts and express ourselves is key right now. If you experience an internal conflict between your emotions and your intellect the cosmos may be kicking up some old unresolved ‘stuff’. Disempower the negative narrator within and give voice to the positive by paying attention to everything and anything promising and joyful in your life and focus on that.

The people who are the happiest are not those who have sailed through life seemingly tragedy-free. The happiest people are the ones who shine a spotlight on the good stuff without ignoring the bad.
Keep your thoughts light and your spirits high.

This is an excellent time to:
-Rethink
-Reflect
-Rewrite
-Revise
-Reevaluate
-Refocus
-Regenerate
-Reveal
Remember, when we are off balance, we fear what our mind is reflecting back to us. When we are in rhythm with our spirit, we fear nothing.
Throughout the next weeks remind yourself to Reflect before Reacting.

Pausing and reflecting is not the same thing as overthinking. Overthinking can cause overwhelm which keeps you from feeling overjoyed.

Stay balanced, centered and connected to your intuition so you can make decisions on the fly…ones that you will look back on and feel good about later.

I am now willing to see something positive, beautiful, humorous, silly, or encouraging in every situation I am in. I choose to observe instead of obsess and trade scared for serene whenever possible. Hopeful has now replaced fearful in my world.
Walk through life with a sense of appreciation and confidence. Feel empowered by your own sense of joy!
