As we’re practically plodding along on our course today, we may find ourselves in the throws of an urge to purge, to release or reveal something that we’ve held bottled up for a while. When these feelings arise, often we may deny them, concerned that they will uproot us from a perceived sense of steadiness and security. Yet, today we are once again in connection with an all-important and related question: if we are not truly reflecting and expressing our honest feelings and intentions, is our security resting on solid ground anyway?
Honor that which is desiring to be uncovered, creating a compassionate and safe vehicle for it to be expressed. Remember that the reveal of the real may not look pretty, yet it truly contains within it grace and beauty.

Today ushers in an event that we may have been waiting for for the past several weeks…Mercury ends its current retrograde cycle.
Remember though that everything, including planetary cycles, reflects a continuum. Therefore, it’s not that at 3:28 pm PDT, the minute when Mercury turns direct, we should go out and buy the technological equipment we’ve put on our Mercury-direct wish list, sign the contract to which we’ve delayed showing commitment, or feel confident that no miscommunication will arise.
Not only is Mercury just starting to turn around today, but it’s in slow and steady Taurus. Therefore a slow transition out of our Mercury retrograde habits/concerns may be just what the communication doctor ordered.

We’re in the first full day of Mercury going direct; as such, we may be once again feeling our communication sea legs (or hoofs, given the planet’s placement in Taurus).
With the Moon conjoining Mercury this morning, we may feel inclined to express how we’re feeling, especially regarding our sense of security. Additionally, we may feel more in tune with beauty and derive great pleasure and comfort from earthly joys such as smelling a flower, working the garden, watching the sun rise/set, or enjoying a delightful meal.

This evening we are graced by the darkness of the Taurus New Moon. As the day winds down to this lunar event (exact at 6:04 pm PDT), reflect upon habits and routines that don’t serve you anymore, making a commitment to release them under the etheric glow of the New Moon.
To harness the energy of your intentions, try the following ritual. Find a stone or small twig. While holding it cupped in your hand, focus on what you want to let go of, that which is standing in your way of finding and expressing your true sense of security. Have the stone or twig symbolize that which you want to release. Then bury the stone or twig, reverentially asking the earth to help you as you continue to embark upon your journey of soulful becoming.

With the waxing phase of the Moon, we are once again brought the experience of being able to initiate new cycles of becoming in our life. Today is a good day to set intentions for that which we want to create. With the Moon in Gemini, we can give these pointed desires more energy to manifest by writing, singing, painting, or dialoguing about them.

A pinch of this. A smidge of that. A tad of the other thing.
Today may be filled with a mélange of thoughts, activities, and interactions.
It’s likely to be a patchwork of a day, which can be filled with thought-provoking and interesting experiences sure to inspire learning.

Sometimes, there’s seems to be so much going on. And oftentimes at those moments we may feel overwhelmed trying to stay abreast of the many balls in the air.
At those times sometimes the easiest thing to do is to get really simple. Just pare down what’s on our radar. Prioritize and delve in the beauty of the basics.
As such I wanted to share with you a quote that I came across, one that a new friend posted on her Facebook wall the other day. When I thought about today, about a way to creatively channel the energies that we are being presented with, this quote came back to my mind:
“At the moment of commitment, the universe conspires to assist you.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
