*MERCURY RETROGRADE*
*April 17^th-May 11^th*
Mercury is said to be in retrograde motion when, due to our relative orbits around the Sun, parallax view causes it to back up in our sky. Mercury has rulership of communication & transportation. This covers just about everything in one-way or another. when Mercury is retrograde all things having to do with communication & transportation are prone to snafu & breakdown. You will notice that the incidence of traffic light malfunctions, telephone service interruptions, lost & mishandled messages, general misunderstanding of information, missed connections & other problems in travel, & every other imaginable kind of trouble in these areas rises dramatically. Try to avoid signing legal documents & opening new businesses during these periods. If it absolutely can't be avoided then go ahead. But be aware that there will almost certainly have to be renegotiation & new beginnings at a later date & be prepared to deal with that. The way to handle these periods is to allow extra time for everything. Try to anticipate where problems are likely to occur & plan for dealing with them. The most important thing is to keep a good attitude. These periods occur 3 times a year for 3 weeks at a time. We've all lived through many of them in the past. They are annoying & frustrating but they always go away.
*A Moment of Reflection*
*No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.* *The Wisdom of the Taoists* Everything that happens to us, and every choice we make, is a reflection of what we believe about ourselves. We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we believe we are worth. The things we believe and say about ourselves come back to us in many ways. Self-motivation comes from self-knowledge. We must inspire ourselves by believing we have the power to accomplish everything we set out to do. We must put faith in our ability to use mind and spirit and picture our lives the way we want them to be. We must use inner strength and the power of our being to tear down the walls, break through the barriers and move through the obstacles with ease. Our bodies have been freed. Now we must train our minds to believe it. *Acts of Faith - Iyanla Vanzant* *Know thy ideal and live for that. For each soul must give an account for its own self.* *Paramhansa Yogananda*
