Mercury, the planet of communication and travel is retrograde right now. That means, as you watch it's course, it will move forward in the night sky, then for a period of three weeks or so, it "moves backwards". All planets do this at different points in the year. Mercury goes forward four times and "backwards" three in a year. Astrologers say that when Mercury is retrograde there are more communication difficulties, computer glitches, mechanical challenges, and delays in travel plans. When Mercury is retrograde it gives us a chance to slow down and think about our next chance to make progress.
Coincidently, a seven level Labrynth goes forward four times and backwards three, just like the annual course of Mercury. They say that when you draw a seven level labrynth it helps to connect the two hemispheres of the brain. I like to think of the Mercury Retrograde time as the left brain development time. The part that makes you dreamy and not so to the point. (is that obvious by this explanation?)
I was definately feeling it today! I did a whole lot of busy work, a whole lot of driving kids around, had a meeting cancelled (but wasn't told before I drove over there!) I got some painting done on my logo but I want to re-do it because the color isn't quite what I had in mind (the good thing is RE-doing things in Merc. Retro is par for the course) I got some snaps for my tarps, but I still have to hem at least 15 more tabs before I can call that finished. I'm not sure I got enough snaps. (beats the hell out of sewing velcro!) Just a whole lot of loose ends, many of which need to be tied up a week from tomorrow. I'd better rest up. Goodnite!
