Mercury goes retrograde January 21 – February 11, 2015 in Aquarius.  To learn how this will affect you, look to the area of your horoscope where Aquarius falls and expect to undergo some revision in that department for the next several weeks.  In general, this is a time for all of us to rethink our long-term goals, as in your 5-10-20-year plans. Aquarius rules the bigger wishes and dreams, plus the tribe and social networks that take us there. All of this is up for review now. If you don’t like where your life is heading, take time to reassess under this retrograde.  On the fun side, old friends and tribe members could suddenly reappear in your life after a long absence. If they do, they’re probably returning to help you redefine your future mission statement. This is also a time when we’re reflecting upon where we belong in the greater whole. If we don’t feel like we’ve found “our people” as in kindred souls with similar values and goals, this is a chance to really reflect on what’s out of alignment or what we need to do to find our crew.   Continue reading →

January 5 – 24, 2016 in Aquarius
When Mercury goes retrograde, that’s the time to slow down to notice changes you’d like to make, but you’ll wait to correct them after Mercury has gone direct.  During the retrograde, your time is best spent looking back in review – not looking forward. Astrologers say do not apply for a loan during this time, or interview for a new job.  Do not take a first date seriously. Do not begin a new partnership.  Hold off on romance.  Mates from the past may reappear, or perhaps just past relationship baggage will cloud your thought processes – and the new relationship.  Retrograde isn’t the time to break up or otherwise decide on a new direction in relationships. If you have to have “the talk,” hold off until Mercury goes direct.   Even if things have taken a turn for the worst, when Mercury goes direct, you could pick up where you left off.  That can be the good news and the bad news. Either way, it gives you the chance to make a clean break and smooth over the messy outburst neither of you intended 3 weeks ago. A retrograde is not the time to set a date or finalize any important plans, as they’ll likely end up needing redoing.  If you enter into contracts, make sure you read the fine print. This will save you much time and money later.

At yesterday’s psychic fair, I did 3 readings where the women had been waiting to marry their married lover, one for 5 years. In each case, they’d been living together but he was legally married to someone else. Two didn’t want to be ordered to pay child support or joint debt, one didn’t want to talk to his ex. Two of them are planning their weddings for this year. A good judge of character is how someone has left the partners they’ve previously made vows with, and what their relationship is with the mother of their children. As much as you want it to be different with you, don’t be surprised when it’s not.

Ecstasy and love are not the same thing. We often get them confused. There are some connections that open us so wide that we cannot help but call them love. But they may not be. They may just be a transcend-dance, an invitation to delight, the heart opening that we so desperately needed after years encased in armor. We call certain people into our lives to awaken us, to reheart us, but that doesn’t mean they are the beloved. If a love is real, it is a portal to the everything, excavating light and shadow from their hiding places. The glory and the gory rise in unison, calling us to the sky and the earth in one fell swoop. Love is far more than floating to the heavens on a dreamy magic carpet. Love is sustainable. Love is inclusive. Love has feet that walk it through time. Jeff Brown

A reading last night that is a universal scenario: You’ve caught him lying again and told him what you expect of him if you are going to remain in the relationship and he keeps doing it and asking for second chances? That’s because he doesn’t care enough to make a change and he knows you’ll likely do nothing about it. Period. He’s willing to go along with the program as long as you’re handling everything. How long are you willing to to live this way? Drop the rock in your hands and the Universe will fill it with diamonds.  Two friends after reading this sent me messages that this note was speaking to them. It’s hard when we love someone, when we remember how they used to be, when we remember how WE used to be, when we think of their potential and see it all going down the drain. It’s hard when everyone is in a form of depression because they haven’t found that spark that gives their life meaning, they have nothing really that they want to wake up for in the mornings. That’s the soul calling out to you. You need to expect and believe you will somehow be cared for and guided to make good decisions and hard choices. You need to trust that you will be fine and there are people around you right now that can help you make the change and make the move. These can seem insurmountable when you have to walk out of a situation you’ve gotten used to.  Cut the cord.  You can always pick it back up later if it feels right, after you’ve had a break from the energy.  But know what’s a lifeline and what’s an anchor.

The last month I’m suddenly getting a couple of collection calls a day for someone who hasn’t lived here for two years. I finally just gave them his number. We all have to grow up sometime and handle our own stuff. Oh, wait, no we don’t.

To what extent do you think we participate in creating the reality we experience? Do we attract people and situations to us, or are happenings just random? How do we attract them? By our thoughts? By karma? What is karma?  How about prayer and ritual? Does it work? If so, how does it work? Do angels or astral elementals make it happen? Does God make it happen? Do we make it happen? Are we God? Who decides which answer is accurate? What about free will? Does that exist or is that an illusion, too? Or do you even think about this stuff?

My problem is I’ll open something then ‘save as new” so I can review it more fully when I have time later. Kind of like before I had the dishwasher, I’d rinse something out and place it back in the sink to be washed fully later, essentially creating twice as much work for myself. In 2015 I hope to do less of that. And if you’re waiting for an email answer from me the past year, send it again please.

Despite the rock-solid appearance of things in physical experience, everything is energy. And in order to change a stubborn, unwanted situation, I must approach it beyond the physical level. I must shift the energy of it. How do I do that? By my thoughts. I can use my thoughts to change the energy of any circumstance – lack of money, illness, loneliness, work overload, hateful people, low self-worth, or lack of purpose, for instance. In fact, I came into physical expression fully aware I was entering a mixed-bag world full of things I would want and things I wouldn’t want to touch with a ten-foot pole. That was A-OK by me, for I knew the power of my thoughts. And now I’m remembering what I once clearly knew. Every time I encounter a persistent, unwanted situation, I can transmute the energy of it by asking, “What do I want here?” The answer might be more money, good health, companionship, a manageable workload, enjoyable people around me, self-confidence, or a sense of fulfillment and meaning. When I use what I don’t want as a trigger to think of what I do want, I transmute energy. It may take a little while for the results of my efforts to show up in physical reality, but it will be dramatically worth the wait.  Soulsongs by Karen Money Williams  #416 Beneath The Surface
