Looking for September 29

I don't live my life by the zodiac. Never have.

But the last three days have been classic Mercury in retrograde days. Navigating the tripwires and little buried triggers that make up my emotional minefield has been a tricky business. My desire to set off explosions which will satisfy my "NEED TO KNOW NOW" impulses has been an almost constant and obsessive drive.

So I turned to this set of directions: "During this time of revision, change is compounded and confusion is created by our reactions to the ever-changing situations. Thus anything started during this time will ultimately be taken back or even revised further, making for a high-frustration time. This will be especially true with changing our minds, reviewing new ideas and our communication being improved and honed so not to be mis-understood. The best mode to be in during a Mercury retrograde is one of "non-reaction", and with air signs being impacts, things will be changing continually during a Mercury retrograde Treat the time period as a time of gathering information, yet because the information will be in constant change it would be like trying to comb your hair in a wind storm. Best to wait until the changes stop before attempting to make things orderly. Therefore, just let the winds of situations blow around you without reacting. Once Mercury turns direct, take a look at the information that is still around at that time and go about putting everything in order, while maintaining the fine art of flexibility."

Mercury goes direct on September 29.

With that in mind, I am setting a task for myself to float. Just float. And to keep in mind this:

"Tempest tossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this -- in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your Ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does by sleep; wake Him. Self-control is strength; Right thought is mastery; Calmness is poer. Say unto your heart, 'Peace, be still.'"

May the forces of the universe be with me and you and all around the world.
