        • 3D render depicting the Greek God Mercury, messenger of the gods, the god of trade, merchants and travel Stock Photo - 17170371
        • Astrological Event: Mercury goes Retrograde
          Date: December 19 2016:
        • Time Line: He enters his storm December 15 2016, Goes Retrograde on December 19 until January 8: He will be back in his “storm” January 14: It’s best to keep all new projects on hold from ***December 15 2016 to after January 14 2017*** if possible.
        • If you do need to start on new projects, relationships, jobs, career’s, writings etc… keep in my that it’s very likely nothing will turn out the way you may be expecting… This doesn’t mean things won’t work out … (eventually). However, it does mean more patience is needed to see results or to get things moving… 
  • What does it all mean?
  • Mercury is the planet of communications, he is also a messenger and likes to do two things at once. He rules Gemini and Virgo.
  • Retrograde motion means that from the earth’s perspective it appears that the planet Mercury is going backwards.
  • Our communications and organizational skills may not be up to par during this time.
  • Messages can get misinterpreted or misplaced.
  • We can miss appointments during this period, so check your date book frequently and place all scheduled appointments in your date book or phone in a place you will see them often.
  • It’s not a good time to begin anything until after the 11th of February if it’s at all possible. Projects begun now are not likely to go as planned.
  • Be prepared to redo things.
  • It’s the perfect time to review, redecorate, renew…. However, it’s advisable that we all check and double-check the fine print before signing on the dotted line.
  • Stick to the hobbies already begun.
  • Don’t be disappointed if things don’t go exactly as planned regarding our “down time”.
  • Take extra care when sending out invitations to an event, make sure you have the date, time and place correct… or else you may find you have to get them printed all over again.
  • Be Prepared have more than one thing on the go at once, however, take care not to add more to your agenda then you can comfortably do, else run the risk of mixing up your “homework” or dates.
  • Relationships might have to be re-assessed
  • Beginning December 15 2016 Write down any new creative ideas for future reference,note the time and re visit the list after January 14 2017.

Seeing Ourselves
BY MADISYN TAYLOR
Many of us do not take the time to notice and acknowledge how beautiful we are as humans.Many of us do not take the time to notice and acknowledge how beautiful we are as humans. We may be great lovers of beauty, seeing it in the people, places, and things around us, while completely missing it in ourselves. Some of us feel that it is vain to consider our appearance too much, or we may find that when we look at ourselves, all we see are imperfections. Often we come to the mirror with expectations and preconceived notions about beauty that blind us from seeing ourselves clearly. As a result, we miss the beauty that is closest to us, the beauty we are. Sometimes we see our beauty in a shallow way, noticing how well we are conforming to social norms, but failing to see the deeper beauty that shines out from within and that will continue to shine regardless of how we measure up to society’s ideal.
If we can cut through all these obstacles and simply appreciate how beautiful we are, we free up so much energy. We also become less dependent upon the opinions and feedback of others since we become our own greatest admirers. Many of us know that after a great yoga practice or a long, deep meditation, we are more able to see how beautiful we are. This is because we have released some of our baggage, thus unburdening ourselves and summoning forth the spirit that dwells within us. It is the heady combination of the divine spirit and the human body that conveys beauty more accurately than anything else.To keep ourselves in touch with our own beauty, we can surround ourselves with images that reflect our beauty back to us–photos of a relative or child who has our eyes, images of teachers who embody spirit, or self-portraits that capture our essence in a way that allows us to see ourselves anew. The best way to keep ourselves in touch with our own beauty is to keep looking deeply into our own souls and opening our eyes to the human being we see in the mirror every day.
