Last Week of Mercury Retrograde

'Wrapping Up The Past' week.

That's how I like to call the last week of our beloved Mercury Retrograde phases.

What does it truly mean to have the planet of the MIND go retrograde on us all? To me, it's a chance to have a Change of Mind, which I have had to experience, and noticed many of you also experiencing.

Changes are mind are really healthy - despite the general uproar it causes when Mercury spins backwards in Pisces, the most nebulous sign of the entire astrological circle. Is your change of mind just the sign of wooly-mindedness? Are you unreliable, drifting and just causing trouble?

Perhaps. I like to see this final week, of this particular retro phase, as a one designed to eliminate outworn addictions. Let's face it - your pattern doesn't work. As you've notived recently. Addictions right now, can be seen for what they are - a good solid chunk of time spent doing something that always gives the same results - and thus you return back to it.

Unhealthy patterns are common now, and they're the energy loops we're being asked to refrain from restablishing (the typical 're's of 're-trograde). How are you doing on that front?

Pisces energy lacks boundaries, it seems all and feels all and sees it all has its place and all connects. However certain areas of life DO need walls, boundaries. Who wants to live in their neighbors bathroom?

And so on that note, Mercury spends his last week retrograding to help us find where our auras have grown thin, and where we're in danger of overstepping the mark or having someone step on our toes.

Establishing your boundaries now, in this phase, isn't easy, but the feeling when Mercury goes direct will be like the satisfaction you get when you repair your bike tire - remember when you were a kid and you inflated it, stuck it in a bucket of water and tried to locate where the bubbles are coming from? Then you sealed up the hole and bingo - magic.

I like to see this week as just that - finding the holes of escaping energy. Sealing them up and continuing on. We need soul-support, a cushion of something to protect us. Otherwise we'd mush together.

Like continental drift, separation isn't always bad, it keeps us unique and in a special place. Though from afar we're all connected, it's kinda cool to find a border now and again, so you know you're about to experience something new.

Respect your walls, and respect the rights of others and their own boundaries. Your own way, their own time.

Pisces Mercury Retrogrades until Friday.

Drift on, respectfully.

Love,
Neil
