And. . . Mercury joins the retrograde parade today! Until Aug. 28th.

Blech. Just blech.

Pluto, Saturn, Neptune and Chiron are already retrograde, so we’re juggling five for the month.

Much as I would like to use August as a silent retreat, I cannot do so exclusively.

However, I’m a little tired of all the gleeful negative predictions of how horrible this month’s transits and square and the like will be.

What if they are not?

What if we listen to the messages to slow down, enjoy whatever moments we can, look around, and really pay attention? Instead of allowing ourselves to be battered, what if we step back and go, “nope, not going to engage in that right now.”

I don’t know if I can maintain that all month in what’s supposed to go on, but I at least want to start the month from a place of caution, quiet and reflection.

Of course, I’m already having tech issues up the ying-yang, but (shrugs) tech is not my favorite wheelhouse anyway.

What’s your intent for the week?
