Wohoo! Mercury has gone direct! This Mercury Retrograde was particularly challenging because of the four eclipses that happened while Mercury was retrograde. The eclipses brought up buried emotions to the surface so we can heal our karmic patterns- all the while Mercury Retrograde slowed us down so we could not ignore the lessons or the pain brought up by the eclipses.⁠ And, we all can agree that it has not been easy for what feels like forever.⁠ ⁠Yet, the eclipses are behind us and Mercury is moving forward and so must we all. We now are in what is called the shadow period, which lasts for the next two weeks. It is a time to integrate and process your many lessons because you definitely don't want to repeat them. Today, take it slow and create some quiet time to go inward, to listen for your lessons. Make sure you're taking stock of all that you learned, even if you don't quite understand everything yet. Your lessons will become more clear in time. It might be helpful to do some journaling or meditating on what the Universe has been revealing for you.⁠ Today, trust that you will come out of your struggles wiser, stronger and more aligned with your true self.

Just for today, I focus my attention on loving myself and trusting the Universe. Regardless of my setbacks, I always have a comeback in me. I am a capable person. I can handle anything that comes my way. I am safe, divinely guided and loved. And out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.
