Mercury Goes Direct: Clarity Returns!

Have you found that this past month -- especially with the holidays approaching -- has required more effort than usual to get things in order? Well, stress no more! Mercury, the planet of communication and organization, ends its retrograde and starts moving forward again on December 13, bringing a sense of clarity -- and sanity!

As Mercury picks up speed, you realize that what you were worried about really isn’t such a big deal. Unexpected breakthroughs are now possible, and supposed big problems will be easily dealt with. Also, the influence of unpredictable Uranus indicates that being open to change will bring positive results.

As the Buddhists say, staying happy means managing your mind, and if you’ve made it through the first half of December with your sanity intact, you’ll find the rest of the month much smoother to navigate.

Meditation and journal writing are great tools for staying focused under Mercury’s station direct. Since Mercury is ending a period of retreat and entering a time of motion, take time to jot down your emerging ideas to stay on track for holiday bliss -- and a calm heart.

The Moon in Leo also lends a supportive vibe, helping ensure that decisions are made with your head and heart in alignment. Thanks to Mercury’s forward movement it will be much easier to maintain your inner balance throughout the holidays. Enjoy!
