There’s Power in the
And so we meet again!

OONRISE!

So far, this month has been a perfect trifecta - winter arriving in all her
glory; folks are recuperating from holiday hangovers and, let’s not forget,
Mercury Retrograde to slow your roll at the start of the year. It’s been
a whirl wind which will settle down into some sort of rhythmic pattern
soon.
To stay ahead of the winter weather, you’ve got few choices. Dress in
layers to stay warm; eat healthier and indulge in a bit of fitness to keep
your body and mind flexible and one step ahead of the viruses that spread
this time of year.
To recuperate from holiday hangover, remember to budget wisely for
2016 so you don’t succumb to sticker shock when the bills come due this
time next year. Maybe give some thought to becoming part of the arts
and crafts revival – giving gifts from the heart instead of emptying your
wallet.
And while Mercury Retrograde shows up periodically, like a bit player
in a campy zombie movie, just relax and go with the flow. Don’t let the
retro-phase have a discordant effect in your life. Mercury only slows
down so you an take advantage of the opportunity to catch your breath
and take your time. I advise taking advantage of these occasional lulls
to reevaluate and refine. Sometimes, the best laid plans will fall by the
wayside due to Mercury’s influence during
these times, but there’s a silver lining that
will reveal itself along the way.
Just because Mercury comes to an almost
complete standstill doesn’t mean you have
to stop what you’re doing, especially if
there’s spectacular momentum attached.
You might not get to your destination as
quickly as before – maybe it’ll take you a
few bits longer – but proceed carefully and
will get to your destination in perfect time!
Just a reminder, do what you do best and
always do it with passion!
