The recent Mercury Retrograde is now complete. Yesterday, the planet of communication, finished its three-plus week backward dance in the nourishing and nesting sign of Cancer.

And yet, in the next few days, as it still appears to be very slowly, so should we. It’s not a time to necessarily quickly dart forward, but rather to take the awareness built over the last weeks, and have it be your compass to guide you as you view the horizon that beckons.

Reflecting this, simplicity may be a good strategy, a way to cut through the clutter to further distill the clarity that is now blossoming.

A slow pace may yield great reward as well because this week features the Sun opposite the Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction as well as the Mars/Chiron Conjunction. And with that, stillness may have us more clearly recognize shadows and the influence they have upon us and others. It may also have us more able to perceive the deep hurts with which we live and how, when we are not conscious, they serve to forge battle plans that don’t necessarily serve us.

As we connect to hidden terrains—whether related to ourselves, others, or the institutions we encounter—it may compel us to dive deeper in to understand just what’s been kept out of sight. Our journey may feel intense and even volcanic at times, as we feel stirred by awareness that we may have kept at bay, or that was hidden from us by others.

While what we connect to may seem to push us out of our usual comfort zone, it may urge us to further discover what brings us essential comfort in this new now. We’ve spent the last month or so burrowing in to further know just what it is that feeds us and gives us sustenance; as such, what may arise for us now may actually help us to more strongly make a commitment to this terrain of knowingness rather than shock us by having us feel that we are in a completely new landscape.

Be open to a undiscovered strata of honesty emerging. See how that can be empowering and healing. Be confident that you can discover what’s truly essential and commit to it, and that by doing so, you will further learn, grow, and flourish.
