Greetings!

Ok, so I don’t want any of you freaking out just yet. If you feel like you have been spinning in circles over the past week, you’re not alone. Yes, you may have guessed it. We are currently in another mercury retrograde period! If you are unaware of this astrological aspect, just google it, and you will see how you can maximize your time during the next three weeks.

First, let me just say that the worst is over. The past week has been brutal, both with misunderstandings, negotiations and plain communication. It would have been best to just shut your phone, computer and tv off — and said goodbye to the outside world for a few days. But, sometimes in life that isn’t possible. Work, school, and children still need our attention.

So here’s the good news! We are in a little “gold mine” over the next few days before another slow down hits. This is a great time to promote your products, services or to plainly shine in your endeavours! Don’t waste time right now, as the retrograde will start to dip into a slow period later on this week. Make your phone calls, finalize your schedule and get any busy work taken care of as you will be very productive until Thursday of this week. Over the next few days, beware of “putting things off” as it may kick you in the butt later in the month.

Writing in all forms will be beneficial during this retrograde. Pay attention to your inner process whether that be writing for fun, getting things off your chest in a journal, or putting together ideas for publication. If I could give you one adamant “suggestion” — get things in order!! October will come sooner than you think, and you will be too bust to play catch up. Don’t let small things hold you back. Organization is the name of the game, and believe me I have to take my own advice. I tend to know exacly where things are in my mess! But this is not a time to stick to old routines when it comes to being prepared for a big leap around the Halloween season. So, ladies and gents…GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW! You’ll be happy you had the heads up.

Now, as far as romance goes, this is a very gentle time in that arena. You may find comfort and solace within the whirlwind with your significant other this month. If you are single, it may be profitable to “mend your fences” and make amends with the past. Those you have hurt will be more receptive to you this month. Remember, being prepared isn’t just about organizing your papers. This applies to your love life too! Be prepared for BIG LEAPS. Some of you may hear of proposals in the fall, or a big move by couples who are in long distance relationships. Be prepared if you are the procrastinator for your significant other to make a BOLD MOVE before you think you’re ready to commit. Go with it! You will regret it if you don’t, because your partner is indeed set on his/her decision.

This month requires you to get out of your head and into serious action. Things around you may slow down, but take it as a ‘hint’ from the universe to get yourself together. The time is being freed for you to make your preparations. You may also see a lot of international travel in the fall. Take the leap when it is presented or you will be left behind in the dust — while others around you will indeed be celebrating!

Over the next few weeks get together with old friends and have some fun. The fall season is sure to be one of mysteries that will lead to your “pot of gold”

Have faith!

All my best,

Marisa

Greetings!

I can’t believe another year flew by! We are on the verge on many changes this year, so it’s time to stay positive. 

However, it is a year of simplicity and realizing what is really important. This will be a very significant year for special relationships, especially those with family and friends.

Great relationships will be built this year, and also romantic prospects will move to the next level. This is also a great year for engagements, weddings and surprise gatherings. I will post a blog dedicated to this energy after the inspirational message for this month.

So let’s get to January! Are you feeling sluggish, tired, a little lazy and worried about funds? Welcome to the shadow period of the astrological aspect of Mercury Retrograde! The energy is moving at a snail’s pace, and you may actually feel the slowing down feeling in the air around you. This is classic a few days before Mercury goes into retrograde. Here is a link to gain a little general insight about Mercury In Retrograde.

Don’t expect large amounts of money, job offers, or important meetings to blast off in the coming week. If you can, I would postpone any major business meeting or proposals for another two weeks. However, we will still be in retrograde at that time, so it would be best to wait until the second week of February to begin all new projects. If that isn’t possible, try to at least postpone dealings for another week or two. People are just not very excited right now, and have a foggy brain, so they may just brush off what you are pitching or proposing. Ideally, it would be best to wait until this energy speeds up a bit.

Days for romance are ideal right now. Because business is slow, it may be a great time to slow down with your partner or even a few close friends and enjoy the relaxing energy.

It is also an ideal time to get your body moving. Sluggish energy can lead to destructive eating and drinking habits that may be hard to kick once life gets busier. And it will very soon! The weather this month will be very erratic. I wouldn’t plan a ski trip until the last minute due to the strange weather patterns this month will have to offer.

The message of the month — take a load off! Rest, relax and renew, because mid January will start to pick up and you’ll wish you had the time to get your energy settled from the busy holiday season.

As with any mercury retrograde period, expect electronic issues, missing voicemails, people from your past coming back, appointment cancellations, funerals, reunions, general forgetfulness and musical nostalgia.

Slow down and enjoy yourself!

Best wishes for the New Year and stay tuned for an in depth report of the energies I spoke about above in my blog.

Best,

Marisa
