MERCURY RETROGRADE/FULL MOON ECLIPSE-SUN THE 5TH,WEDNESDAY THE 8TH

DOUBLE WHAMMY!

Two major events this week, i.e. Mercury turns Retrograde in Scorpio from the 5th to the 26th and a Full Moon Eclipse in Aries on Wednesday the 8th. Both will be in October, and both could have you talking to yourself as you're walking down the street (laughing).  With what I have going on with me now, I'm already having conversations with my guides and angels and anybody else who will listen.  Last week I had a discussion with my neighbors dog, a massive rottweiler who decided to bark at me when I approached my house..."listen Max, I don't want any problem with you....we are neighbors so you just be quiet and bark at the "bad" guys". The dog looked at me, whimpered and stopped barking.  On the positive side I have also been talking to my image in the mirror (called mirror techniques), telling myself that everything is in Divine right order, that the angels are with me and I can accomplish my goals.  Those little pep talks help me to get through a hectic schedule of things to do. In the evenings I make mental notes (too lazy to write) of what I did accomplish and I'm happy if only one of them was finished.  I get up in the mornings and say a prayer of gratitude that I made it through the night because many people didn't wake up that morning.  So with these upcoming cosmic events my advice is to use everything that's in your spiritual toolkit to survive and thrive.  

MERCURY RETROGRADE

Mercury starts off a 22 day retrograde period in Scorpio on October 5th. Then it slides back into Libra on the 11th and stays there until it goes direct on the 26th.  From passion, desire and transformation, to peace, harmony creativity.  You may feel passionate about what you have to say in the beginning then rethink it and find a way to communicate more lovingly.  Or if someone says something that arouses your anger, you can turn it around from a yelling match to a peaceful resolution.  What we're learning this year especially, is that we have the power to react to any situation with peace and love in our hearts. We can decide not to be the victim or to victimize anyone and we can still come out on top.  Love is the greatest power and when we opt to become Divine Alchemists we can use that power to turn lead into gold, hate into love. We also need to keep in mind that people can only act with the consciousness they have at any given moment.  If they knew better they'd do better. At least that's what my teachers always told me. It has taken many years for this truth to sink into my stubborn mind.  So glad they were patient and loving with me. They intuitively knew that one day I'd "get it".  

THE GREAT TURN AROUND

Sometimes during a Retrograde Mercury, things turn around for the better.  A "no" becomes a "yes" or a negative becomes a positive.  That thing you were looking for suddenly turns up, or that person you've been playing telephone tag with is suddenly on the line.  I've had the experience of running into an old friend during a Mercury Retrograde period, after trying for days to get in touch with her...then poof, she's there standing behind me in the supermarket.  So it doesn't have to be all bad but it is what you've been calling for. This is a good time to consciously monitor our talk and our self talk. It's also a good time to do the forgiveness work, to apologize and set things straight.  Bad relationships can end when one of you or both of you realize that heated words from the past was the result of anger and fear.  So go through this period with love as your agenda. Love will always create a win win situation.

FULL MOON ECLIPSE IN ARIES

Eclipses seem to intensify whatever else is going on. Aries is the warrior, but since the Full Moon is an opposition from the Sun, on the other end is the Sun in Libra.  We can all be peaceful warriors, standing up for what is right in a collective and peaceful manner. With all that's going on in the world now, guns, bombings, people losing their minds and thinking that a gun will settle their dispute only people with peace and love in their hearts will make a difference.  I sent out a movie called "Thrive" which was sent to me by a good friend.  It's a full length (free) movie that explains (their theory) what's happening on the planet today.  The movie gave a good explanation of the banking system, the health system, the energy system and the people who are controlling those vital areas of our lives.  There was also the suggestion to take a stand for what's right and for the good of all earth's inhabitants.  Basically if you don't like the way things are going, keep in mind that we "have nots" are in the majority and collectively we can take a stand (Aries) for what's right.  Early on in our lives we've been brainwashed into thinking we have no power. Our enemies have used fear tactics to keep us docile and slavishly giving into the status quo.  But on the other realms, the angels are encouraging us to wake up and do the right thing. Believe it or not, the angels got our  backs. (excuse bad grammar).When the collective will is focused on what's good for all people, good health, food, prosperity, housing, we'll do the things that will make it better for everyone.  

FEAR NOT!

Up here in the mountains we're living in a cloud of fear.  Well some more than others are fearful because the police can't seem to find the shooter they've been looking for, for three weeks.  This guy killed one state trooper and wounded another one. My neighbors are generating rumors, the news is generating rumors, but to date no one seems to be able to find this man.  Schools and whole communities have been shut down during the search, and now hunting season has been canceled...making many avid hunters angry.  People are also canceling vacation plans in this area  so restaurants, hotels and resorts are suffering economically.  Maybe the Full Moon in Aries will bring this debacle to an end...and maybe not.  This man is a survivalist, a lone wolf personality who is a sharp shooter and gun lover.  Now how can one man terrorize a whole community? Just think what one person could do if their intention was for good.  Well we could change the world if we get past our fears and learn  to love one another.  Not to be redundant, but love is the answer. It always has been and all ways will be.  Love & Light, Ayesha
