With Mercury direct, things may appear to start moving forward now. The past few months have been filled with powerful and at times difficult change. Mercury retrograde assisted us in processing these changes internally so we would be ready to step into new energy. Think of it this way- a layer of who you were has fallen away… you have emerged reborn. Embrace new perspectives and ideas. It’s time to begin anew.

Emotionally, there may be some lingering feelings that are seated in your heart center needing to be cleared. It’s okay, give them space to dissipate on their own. This isn’t about not feeling difficult things, it’s about finding peace through those feelings so they no longer impact you so intensely. Hold space for any emotions that arise, hugging them carefully as you would a wounded child. You are your greatest nurturing partner.

Balance comes when we no longer react to the things we cannot control. True power is within. Breathe into your center and let yourself be relieved of the need to fix things outside of yourself. The truth is, the peace we seek lies in our responses not our reactions. Respond from a place of acceptance and you will offer yourself that acceptance as well. Peace lies in every step… walk gracefully away from old patterns of anxiety and control…. A great river of power lies within you, let it nourish you and leave others to their own.
