IT'S NOT Y0U! BLAME IT ON MERCURY...

hi friends,

Before we get to discuss mischievous mercury, let me tell you about the sweet surprise. I had just written my status about life being wonderful and full of nice surprises when lo and behold - a patient walked into my office carrying a magnificent rose from her garden for me in a little glass vase. Synchronicity or maybe it's true what they say, if you think positive thoughts, good things will happen. It brings me to my favourite saying:

'Optimism is a magnet that draws good unto itself"

Which leads me to the next thought...we're going to need all the optimism between now and the end of September. The planet Mercury is going retro or backwards in the sky. It only happens three times in the year - three times too often!! Because mercury is the planet of communication and the fact it is in an air/earth combo, we can expect communications between folk to be a little chaotic on occasion to say the least. This is how mercury retro works - you lose things, you forget appointments, people forget appointments, (I notice that happens a lot in our office around mercury retro phases) misunderstandings happen between people, you get irksome, irritable, feel misunderstood, bla bla. So that's why I wanted you to know 'It's not you--blame it on Mecury! It begins the new retro phase on Sept. 6th so try to avoid signing important contracts and if so pay attention to the small print! Don't make major purchases (darn I was going to buy a dishwasher...maybe get extended warranty).

Trust me when I say PAY ATTENTION try and elminiate carelessness, keep communication as direct and up front as possible, e.g. meet in person instead of using the phone, etc.

So just in case any of you folk out there feel a bit muddled and confused or things go missing, or that phone call or letter you are awaiting seems never to come - by the end of September when Mercury goes direct again, you will notice a big difference.

Does what I am saying make sense to any of you out there? Take note and diary each day. It would be interesting to hear if you experience any of the aforementioned between 6th and 30th September.

Optimism and paying attention to detail and not being careless will be sufficient armour to protect you.

Cheers and lotsa love,

Patricia xxx
