With
Mercury now retrograde early in this year
of reposts by topic, what follows offers plenty of humor and advice on how
to make the best of this cycle we enjoy three times a year. “Enjoy” is part of my
new program on manifestation. What you focus on increases, according to Oprah
and Chopra (that’s Winfrey and Deepak) in their 21-day meditation series that’s
giving magnetism to my Mercury and manifestations.
I’d rather enjoy it than groan my way through, even if it’s tempting to give
into chronic annoyance when the Trickster side of Mercury comes calling.
Since Mercury
Retro concerns even your average Joe or Jane who knows little about astrology
(it’s surprising how often I’ve heard it mentioned in TV programs), there are
links to past articles within most of the articles on that topic. (Yes, you’re
seeing double! Mercury rules the Gemini Twins, so no surprise. Can you see both
twins, as well as the Mercury glyph, in the abstract artwork above?)
Of course,
Mercury is direct most of the time. There are a couple of articles to help you
explore your natal Mercury, too—one each by “playwork” and humor. (There’s
another set of twins.)
Now for some
recaps to think on and laugh with.

Radical RecommendationMercury Retro is great for “re” words, including recreation! If you haven’t already, consider taking a break with The Crystal Ball. It’s my mystery novel, a romp that happens at a longevity organization’s silver anniversary costume party. The theme is “come as you’ll be in the future.” You’ll see a lot of wild Mercury expressed, including some pretty crazy Geminis and Virgos. All 5-star reviews on Amazon as of this writing! Only $2.99 in Kindle and other eReader versions. See sidebar or click here for details.
