Heather and I are both back this week.

As the golden leaves fall they expose the tree’s bare bones. This week we need to let the words fall away and look at the bare bones of how we communicate. After a deeply introspective, retrospective beginning to the weekend, next week offers pointed but potentially healing truth as Mercury enters honest and unvarnished Sagittarius.
We need to tell our story and hear theirs. The dust may fly as stories come out, so we’ll need to ask tough questions to get past spin and hear the facts. We also need take a long look at how we communicate to see where we may have misrepresented ourselves or our opinions, or just not made the effort to speak in terms others can understand. Let’ see where we can improve our skills. Develop real dialogue; it’s not about trading hits and being right but actually growing understanding on both sides. And just when we want to drive our point home, we may need to stop and listen first, set a precedent and show others how it’s done.
Mercury first finishes its tour of Scorpio where it’s been stirring the depths of our psyche since Oct 21; for many it’s been dredging up old memories and monsters that lurk in the corners of our psyche. Mercury in Scorpio lends us unusual insight around objective questions but on more subjective issues can leave our thinking colored by strong emotional triggers. Sometimes those monsters don’t like to be poked.
If depression hits like a wave, hold on to the mast and know it will break soon. Mercury in Scorpio can taps on the root chakra, on survival issues, so sharp here at winter’s edge. A talk about simple household expense can elicit fears of growing old poor, or a litany of every financial misstep of the last ten years, but these will just distort the facts at hand. If we see headline stories that remind us of the fragility of life, may it awaken our compassion and gratitude in response.
Saturday’s New Moon in Scorpio takes us deep, deep within, back to the roots of some emotional situation and offers the opportunity for a new beginning. We may need to face our cravings or release a person, place, idea, or thing; shed, like a leaf, something which was so much a part of life in the last cycle, but needs to be composted to fertilize the next.
