Today, we are witnessing an increase in the depth of our understanding.
Spend some time outside in the sunlight on another day of the astrological wheel. Consider how it feels to walk barefoot on the earth as the sun warms your shoulders, inhaling the aroma of life and growth that surrounds you. The 23rd of August serves as a reminder that no matter what the past has in store for you, the future is always yours to write.
Mercury goes retrograde today, Wednesday, August 23, assisting you to set your intentions for what you want. Mercury rules the mind and all aspects of communication. As it moves through the heavens, it assists you in honoring your inner truth and embracing the new shouts of growth in your life.
Mercury retrograde is often feared for disrupting travel plans and causing technical problems; however, rather than viewing this as a negative event, embrace the beautiful opportunities it brings for reviewing, reflecting, and, of course, revising any matters in your life that require your attention the most.
Mercury retrograde in Virgo helps you to focus on the themes of plans, healing, and even what you need to do to create a more stable and solid foundation. During this time, your manifestations should center around keeping your heart focused on what you want rather than creating space for fears to arise. Take this period as an opportunity to joyfully go back over what the universe reveals to you, as you see it as an opportunity for betterment.
This is an excellent time to get to the heart of the matter, to be adaptable, and to prioritize your heart above all else.
As you surrender to the process of reflection, believe in what you want for yourself and your life.
