Mercury slows down and turns retrograde on Friday and will stay in that position until the middle of July. This is not a time when you will see very much follow-through. Be patient. It is not a fortunate time to sign contracts, start new things, or buy anything electronic. However, it is an excellent time to review and revise. We need openness and sincerity to make progress. How do you think this will affect your particular Sun Sign?
Astrology forecast for the week of June 11, 2007
I have recently been fortunate enough to take a new day job that I really enjoy and keeps me very busy. However, this means I will have to rearrange other things I enjoy in order to be accommodating. Will you, the readers, let me know which day you prefer in the week to read your forecast? If the vote is still, indeed, Monday…..perhaps I can write it earlier in the week yet wait to publish. Please email me at Trisha@astrosabiana.com to cast your vote or add a comment to this post. Thanks!
Lets talk about being centered. You are pushing for an outcome before considering the consequences. Head-first, you are scratching and pecking for your desires and you do not care who knows it. In fact, you are quite vehement in your declarations to whomever will listen. Your thoughts are geared more toward totality, but you must know that gathering nourishment is a constant. Say you did get all you needed in one package? Before you get the chance to utilize the whole of it, some of it will spoil. You want to take care of yourself and the people around you and that is good. Little bits at a time is what will sustain you in the long range. William Harvey said, “The heart is the household divinity which, discharging its function, nourishes, cherishes, quickens the whole body, and is indeed the foundation of life, the source of all action.”
Lets talk about distraction. Do you feel as though you are accepted by your peers? Are you having a difficult time connecting? You are trying very hard to present a gleeful romp on a down-home dance floor yet you are doing too much to keep yourself in balance. It may not be a good time to collaborate until you strengthen your trust in yourself and your environment. This week will be a quiet week that will put you more in touch with the importance of art and contemplation. Think about the ways that you will advance towards your aim. It is not going to be one giant docey-doe that will get you your objective. Instead, you will need to work humbly, honestly, and industriously towards your goals. John Petit-Senn said, “Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance.”
Lets talk about energy level. You are juggling quite a few projects at the moment, something a Gemini can be very proficient at doing. However, it is putting you in a position where you no longer feel the pleasure of adventure, nor can you be open to inspiration. Frankly put, you just do not feel well and you want to tell others. Notice that the problem has to do with overabundance. Sometimes we can let the things we really want possess us. You will need to think about this now. Progress will be nearly impossible until you let go of some of your attachments. David Ruggles explains, “A man is sometimes lost in the dust of his own raising.”
Lets talk about vision. On your mark….. Get set…… Go…. You are in a circumstance that you are very happy to be involved with and you are being a brilliant manager with your energy. However, you have no idea what you are doing and you are very fearful about all types of possible outcomes. Do not worry about things. Do your part, accept your limits, hand off the baton to your teammate and allow your collective efforts to be the concerted effort to that wins. Michael Jordon said, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”
Lets talk about surrender. Fate will step into your world and allow you to see many things, as though you were in more than one place at once. This will help you to have extra-sensory help in being open to anything that would surprise you. There are many things you feel you must account for. Sure, you maybe confused at first about all the unconcious gluck around you and sure, this may inhibit your follow-through. Exerting pressure, to move things in your way may bring unhappiness. Temporary pleasures are temporary. Being full within yourself will bring lasting pleasure. Don’t be distracted by things that your principles say are unworthy. Pay attention to what you attract and what you are attracted to. Then go one step further. When you are attracted to someone, pay attention to what they are attracted to and you will be able to determine what you will be in for if you get involved. Epitetus said, “To accuse others for one’s misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows one’s aducation is complete.”
Lets talk about commitment. Your spirit and heart are engaged in building a better future with those you love. However, you have your mind set on short-term goals that you feel you must conquer to therefore conquer the next short-term goal. You are worried about your environment. It feels as though you can barge forward with all of your plans, but it will not work that way. There is opposition. How have people done this before? Watch for an example and place yourself in queue for whatever movement you want to make, forward or backward. You can combat your worry with truth and at the same time vow to go unfettered with the stagnation around you. There is not much you can say to change anything. You will have yourself and that is a good thing. Eckhart Tolle has said, “If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. No excuses. No negativity. No psychic pollution. Keep your inner space clear.”
Lets talk about adventure. A recent dead-end is opening up for you. Often what we think is a no-way-out-situation is our minds anxiety and lack of confidence. A sense of humor helps to lighten your mood and move past internal obstacles. You have abundant strength to carry out your plans, however you are feeling vulnerable and blocked. Talk to people, sweet Libra. They will respect what you have to say and you are in a wonderful position to communicate. There is someone reliable that will be able to correct an issue for you. You will know them by their moderate behavior. Realize now that since you have achieved your aim, it is important to continue with worthwhile goals. Do not give less-than ideas a voice in your affairs. You have much to think about this week. Topics include how your life effects your environment and how your life looks in broader terms. Lewis Carroll wrote, “There is no use tryin,” said Alice, “one can’t believe impossible things.” “I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Lets talk about destruction. This week be careful about what you think you know. You may be trying to understand things too soon. Listen to the Virgos and Leos in your environment. You will find their ideas helpful. You don’t want to continue in a self-dustructive pattern and you will do more than your share of work on your soul. Be sure to keep things balanced when helping other people or helping yourself. Also, keep in mind that three is a crowd when forming close bonds. Innate wisdom will come through so you will be able to prepare and repair your environment. There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “Discover a well before you are thirsty.”
Lets talk about pushing. You may find that when you want to express one of your usual impulses this week you don’t. Is it because you are shy? Is it because you feel very serious? There is something in side of you that is causing you to play the blame game. What you wanted before you do not want anymore. Slowly your emotions are making a profound change. Thank goodness it is slow. However, pay attention when an opportunity to change makes itself known. Recently you turned down this opportunity and therefore you are stuck in a rut, having to wait until it comes full circle again. Who do you surround yourself with? What do you put inside of your body? What do you stand for? These are all things to review and keep in mind for a healthier future. George William Curtis said, “A man’s country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.”
Lets talk about being busy. You are willing to dive deep and work hard for what you want. This week, however, you have a slight (and I mean slight) lack of follow-through. It has to do with not knowing which idea to implement. You’re not sure what you are doing. You have so many ideas. The wonders that you find will cause you to yearn for someone to share it with. Stay in the moment and deal only with the present situation. This is not a good week to be better than anyone. You have not been challenged, but with Mercury retrograde in Cancer you are bound to be opposed by someone. Choose to keep a certain amount of detachment from those you speak the truth with so that you will be able to move things in a productive direction. Sometimes when we are too familiar it is hard to get anything done. You are only going to reach your goal in a step by step process. Have you ever seen anyone run fast while they were emerged in water? Rumi wrote,
“The Diver’s Clothes Lying Empty
You’re sitting here with us, but you’re also out walking
in a field at dawn. You are yourself
the animal we hunt when you come with us on the hunt.
You’re in your body like a plant is solid in the ground,
yet you’re wind. You’re the diver’s clothes
lying empty on the beach. You’re the fish.
In the ocean are many bright strands
and many dark strands like veins that are seen
when a wing is lifted up.
Your hidden self is blood in those, those veins
that are lute strings that make ocean music,
not the sad edge of surf, but the sound of no shore.”
Lets talk about waiting. Sometimes when embarking on a creative project it is difficult to force out your creative juices. Your innate talent for ideas will wane. You feel the love. You want to express the love. Yet because of a diminished aptitude for creativity, you will be cautious. These are days that are perfect for joining with others so that you may highlight their talents. You will find that hanging with other people will satisfy you. You will also find that being loyal to your community is the next step in reuniting with your own creativity and strengthening your character. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.”
