For the last month it seems like I've had a short fuse. Work has been stressful, but I have lost perspective if it is beyond the realm of whatever normal is. Jeff and I get irritable over parking spots and phone messages. I am screaming at cars that idle at a green light. For some reason, there has been no time for gardens, blogs or baking. Technology at work has been archaic with phones and modems constantly on the fritz. Even a calming attempt at yoga in the park became an hour of over-stimulation and frustration. What the hell is up!?Well, this cosmic situation known as Mercury Retrograde occurs when the planet's orbit hovers nearer the sun while other planet's paths continue as normal. For anyone observing the paths, during this time it gives the illusion of moving in reverse against the normal travel. How this translates to our behavioral patterns is this; Mercury is the planet of communication. So during this time warp, daily life as we know it is out of sync. And this is not a few days - it is from June 7th - July 2nd, an entire month! Mercury is a prankster and looks at this whole period as a Karmic joke. Beware of travel plans with delays. Back up hard drives because your laptop may take a nose dive. You will likely forget that special birthday gift or overdue books that need to return to the library. As I read about this phenomenon - I found that it especially hits hard on Virgos like myself that have Mercury as a ruling planet. We crave order and it is not to be found. Just great!
The clue to sanity during this period is to reflect and think spiritually during the flux. Allow yourself to be malleable to change and different patterns. Double check all information since clarity is not intact. Reminisce with old friends and try to find those old connections. Hibernate and work on that closet or basement project - which gave me much satisfaction a week back. Hold on, only a few more days left to this horrible cycle and life should return to normal at the top of the month.
