Monday February 23rd
Happy Monday. Just as a reminder to everyone, this week we have Mercury turning retrograde on Wednesday February 25th and will stay that way until March 20th. So you all know the drill by now. Back-up your computer and double-check all appointments. Keep your receipts. Mercury retrograde is not a bad energy but it can be annoying. Your car makes a funny noise and the mechanic cannot find the problem. Mercury rules our day to day life and so our day to day life can get a bit more annoying. Be patient with yourself and others. This retrograde can encourage more meditation and deeper meditation. We now have an opportunity to go back and finish any projects we have left undone.
The Moon today stays in the sign of Ta**us for most of the day. Around 9:30pm it changes and enters the sign of Gemini. So with earth energy strong, we have an opportunity to hunker down and get lots of work done. Ta**us is one of the two signs that is all about money, income and finances. So today is a good day to pay bills, talk to the bank and take care of investments. This Moon sits next to Uranus so it is also a good day to make some changes around the house or with family. Maybe you and a family member change your plans but it is not a negative energy, just one that asks us to be flexible and not get stuck in just one way of doing things. This Moon is also struggling a bit with Mars. Make sure you watch your temper. Ta**us is usually pretty calm but they do have that very famous temper. You can get more annoyed and irritated and let it out at the wrong person. But as long as you are staying grounded I do not see this as a big problem. You may be a bit more restless in the evening as Gemini becomes stronger. Have a great day.
