Getting better all the time

Saturday 14 July 12

Sun Cancer

Moon Gemini

I keep telling myself, I can’t stay this way.  I’ve just got to get better.

It’s amazing how much control we actually have over our well-being – physical, mental and emotional.  If we want to feel ill, it doesn’t take much concentration to accomplish it.  And while it is true that we may not be able to prevent serious illness, we can take charge of our response to cancer or heart disease or arthritis if it happens to us.  This, in turn, can lessen its control over us.

We help or hinder a physical illness.  Constant focus on it exaggerates it.  The reverse is also quite true.  We diminish its power over us if we go about our lives as though we had been healed.  In not-so-rare cases, that is exactly what happens.  In all cases, we will feel considerably better.

Learning to own our power over how we feel comes quite naturally once we have tried it successfully.  Many of us grey up thinking that things just happen to us; discovering that we don’t have to accept all conditions as beyond our control is empowering.  Taking this understanding a step further and refusing to let a condition take charge of our lives changes how we perceive every aspect of every day.

The Moon moves into Gemini today.  The ruler of Gemini is Mercury.  Mercury turns retrograde from today to 8 August.  So what does that mean for us?  Well, Mercury rules the mind – thoughts, words are formulated and spoken to create actions. 

Gemini rules the third house of short journeys, siblings and of course, communication.  This shift in the movement of Mercury can therefore cause delays or confusion.  We may feel as if a cloud is perpetually rolling over our heads.  It is therefore wise to check and double check travel arrangements and keep a close eye on the petrol gauge in your car or the agenda for the next meeting.  This is a time to be mindful of all arrangements and be prepared before you respond to any dialogue.

Mercury is the trickster of the zodiac and he delights in mind games.  I know that this is not productive but it all about lessons learned and being patient and or strategic in our problem-solving.

As I mentioned earlier Mercury rules the mind.  Our subject today is mind over matter.  I would suggest that you are considered in your thinking or decision making process.  What we think we create.

There is a New Moon this week (see: http://www.jestacom.biz/newsite/ezine/harlequin_s_haven.htm) and is regarded as a fertile phase for planting seeds of intention.  Then it is up to us to maintain a proactive and robust relationship with those intentions to ensure that the seeds of today are the healthy crop of the future.

Have a great week!

Remember:  I have the power over how I feel today. What I do with it is up to me.

Love and Peace,
