Tiptoeing through the wilderness

Mercury has been going in a retrograde motion in the sign where it rules, Gemini, for about two weeks allready, and it will continue the rethinking process for another week ++. We hear many rumours about Mercury retro, and some of them, yes, they are true..It is a fact that the mental energies and the left side of the brain works so hard that there is a really good opportunity to blow a fuse. It is true that computers and keys and cars behave a littlebit unusual, and that people are distant, their eyes are somewhere in the clouds as they reassess, rethink, trying to remember something they thougth they forgot, trying to forget something that they suddenly remembered.
It is true that stuff gets lost in the mail. But what is truer that anything mentioned above is the opportunity to really grow mentally. Maybe you feel like your mind is going through a purificationprocess? It will happen sooner or later as we grow more mature. Maybe you see that you drag along mental garbage, thoughts on repeat, that no longer serve you, they are just blocking your devotion to life.
You can see it in the eyes of people when they think too much. You probarly have done this before, but trying to observe what goes through your mind the minute you move around people, you realise that your mind labels everything. And labelling is a way of judging. Always the mental chatter. "Look at that dress" ..."Ohh, that was a really cute one"..." what will we have for dinner?" It is amazing how the mind can think so much, but it is also just a flow of energy, energy that moves in any direction, until it is disciplined and directed to better use..Like moving into the heart. And thus to peace..And this way you will be walking peace for other people..You will do a service to the world, just by being.
We all have this choice, but we tend not to use it. Maybe we aren't made aware that there is a choice. Most people find that letting go of thinking is really hard. A friend of mine explained it well when he said :"Just remember the love"

Letting go of thinking about all the imperfections that we see around us , is for many people very hard, because we don't have enough faith. We are taught that we should always be alert in this jungle of life, so that trouble will not come lurking up from behind and surprise us when we are not watching. One thing is being open and direct, facing problems head on, and then move into the flow again. Another thing is being ignorant , and flow artificially through drugs, dreaminess or numbness. Or, on the other side of the axis, to overthink and to worry about the minor details of life. Both these two latter options are draining to the system.
As always , the answer is in the middle..And it is green :) Just like nature. It is harmony. Drinking coffe will not take this harmony away. Eating chocolate or sleeping too little, will not take harmony away. You find your way back to the middle through every breath. It is meditating while walking, while doing your tasks, while working, while having sex.

These coming days we will have the planetoid Chiron's energy highlighted, and all this is about embracing the middleway, finding the balance that serves you, that makes you feel whole. The recipies on how to live life has to be thrown out the window. There is no need to do anything but to observe. If you feel like eating chocolate or drinking a bottle of wine and have a party on your own, do it..I know, we are afraid of going overboard, that is why we mantain so thight control over ourselves and the people we have in our lives, but Chiron is all about sensing balance, and understanding how to mantain it. It is all about listening to the body, and trusting it again. We are complex beings, and the time has come for us earthlings to align again with the power of the feminine.
The Godess accepts imperfection as life. The masculine condemn imperfection. Just think about it..Think about all the anger that the world has against that which is deemed imperfect. The Godess knows more. She is aware that we are all in the making, and that nothing in nature can be called perfect. For something to be perfect it would have to stand still.
Too bad everything in the Universe is constantly pulsating on one frequency or another. We are vibrant.

Chiron is a reflection of the wound, for those familiar with the myth, you know that he was an educated and inspiring centaur (half horse, half man), someone who was able to sublimate the raw lifeforce into compassion and acceptance. He is the symbol of the wound inflicted upon humanity through the patriarchy, namely the constant battle with human's instinctual and sexual nature. The symbolism of the beast within us that needs to be integrated.
Our connection to nature, to nature in ourselves, the power of the feminine.

So let the wild Godess soar. Feel the power of your earthconnection, let the feet walk you where you need to go. Let yourself out of the prison of the mind. In this way you will fulfill the ultimate intention of Mercury retro, to transcend duality.
