The picture I have this week with Saturn and Mercury Retrograde so close together is a wise grandfather walking a young child home. This kind grandfather doesn’t talk down to the child, instead, he serves it up clearly as one human being to another. As a result, you see the child stand taller, walk with more confidence as understanding and self-respect emerges. That’s what’s possible. Or you could stay committed to being a child and have a big old meltdown. It really is your choice. It helps to know you have that choice, and if you do have a bad moment, you can also recover. The one thing I will say, though, is Saturn brings consequences. Long-term consequences are likely. So take a breath before you blow or shut down, you may be very, very glad you do.
Consequences show up this week as the same trigger is presented to you again and again and yet again, until you take responsibility for your emotions, your reaction. Remember the definition of insanity and instead do it differently when that trigger reappears. If someone has an issue with you, take a good look at what the issue is. It is there for a reason. You may flat out disagree with their issue, and it still calls for something from you rather than a reaction or overreaction. How can this conflict teach you more about the empowered adult you are now instead of the wounded child. If you feel victimized in any way, your inner child needs a wise, loving hand to help get back home. You are not powerless and they are really not (usually) trying to hurt you. Disagreement between people is normal and natural. How you handle it can really mature this Mercury Retrograde and especially this coming week.
2017 ripped the band-aid off the festering wound from your younger years. While it may sting when ripped off the fresh air and light only improves that old injury day by day. Instead of seeing difficulties through those young, helpless eyes this week, take inventory of what you did right, what you would change and where you can stand in the Truth of you for everything else. Then manage your own expectations, firmly and compassionately. Alos, hand back expectations to those who’ve put them on you and get through this week with less blowouts and more holiday cheer. I love to share my colleague Rhonda Britten’s definition of expectations as being premeditated resentments within you. Come this season, high hopes can too easily tip over into expectations and set everyone up for more tension and conflict. Try doing it as an intention instead, something you do for yourself rather than putting a load on someone else. Aha, there is maturity ahead when you do. The Cards and Stars can help…
P.S. If you are seeing this and you don’t normally get my weekly updates, it’s because this week was so important I wanted everyone to have good guidance to weather the bumps for the days ahead.

Tarot for Day 6(12/16/2017):Nine of Bows REVERSED!
Insight:
Nine’s are completion and teacher numbers. This card is called ‘Respect’ in the Wildwood Tarot and reversed it can point to carelessness that comes with speed or enthusiasm that forgets to stop and check how those around you are doing as you leap forward.
The Sun is in easy aspect with Uranus so things can change in an instant, and it’s a strategic leap forward with a little help from wise Pallas Athene. But Saturn and Neptune remind you that if it only serves you it isn’t going to work for the long haul. Feel your full range of emotion, don’t rush past the unpleasant ones.
Be aware that blaming anyone else for what you feel is to lose connection with your authentic self. The ‘poor me’ place drops you right back into the young helpless space that accomplishes little or nothing unless others do what we wish. In order for things to be sustainable (the key word with this Mercury Retrograde) it has to benefit more than just you, or just another. It must include all parties. Self sacrifice is also not sustainable. Each of us must be fed and nourished in order for us to survive over time. A lack of respect for either yourself or others can’t build a solid foundation in relationship. Notice where you’ve been careless and make amends. You benefit as much as anyone else when you do.
Take Action:
Look closely at where in your life you feel out of balance to help ensure all feel seen and heard.
