EP 93: Eclipses are here + Mercury retrogrades

Wednesday at 7:14 AM ET the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius perfects.

Humans have been fascinated for ages by the phenomenon that is an eclipse, but in ancient times they were considered bad, evil, and up to no good. Now we know that eclipse season is what happens twice a year when the New Moon or Full Moon occurs close to the Nodes of Fate.

While we no longer think eclipses are evil, they're not an ideal time for intention setting and manifestation rituals. Simply put, the light of our life giving luminaries the Sun and the Moon are not operating normally.

Eclipse season is like a pressure cooker for change, but it's not about forcing or pushing, it's about receiving and releasing. Allow yourself to feel into the energy of the moment. The Universe will be sure to send you some signals.

Try not to overthink it. I know that's easy to say and hard to do during Gemini season, but give it a shot and trust your gut instead of trying to figure it out with your logic.

Honor the needs of your body, if you need to sleep, sleep. If you can't sleep, pick up a book or a craft. Most importantly, use this time to rest, reflect, and recalibrate.

After all Mercury retrograde is xccoming to a sky near you on Sunday!

My foolproof way to survive any and every Mercury retrograde:

• Review

• Revise

• Reconfirm

Proof read the email before you send it.

Revise where needed. Maybe the closet needs a new organization structure? Or maybe you want to pull out that screenplay you were writing in '09 and get back to work?

Reconfirm your dates, appointments, and details. Just do it twice. It can't hurt.

Mercury will be retrograde from May 29-June 22.

Don't fear the retrograde! Now that you know the weather, you can bring your proverbial umbrella.
