Dancing with the Stars

Today is the first day of October. This is my favorite month. Mercury has finally went direct as of Tuesday. Can I get a hell yeah?!!! One thing I learned is that Mercury doesn't actually go backwards in its orbit, it just slows down so much it appears to go backwards.

Well if that isn't an appropriate metaphor!

How many times do I feel like my life or an aspect of it has regressed back to some former pattern I thought I had whipped? Then I realize when I come out of it that I just had slowed waaaay down and couldn't see the progress that had been made. Then the cloud cover lifts and I am light years away again. I think visually it would look like a spiral. There's always that pesky low part that you must have to push off of to move into new unprecedented highs.

Now that Mr Mercury is back to normal, I am feeling very productive. Yesterday I got more done on my to-do list that the previous 2 weeks. I guess that is the way life is, periods of rest with productivity, growth with integration, and so on. It's a wonderful dance and one that is so much easier when you stop looking at your feet, wondering if you are doing it right.
