Let's talk about Mercury baby! Lets talk about you and me... (sorry feeling some 90's rap love)

"Happy" 2016 Blog Readers! 

 

I will be honest, lately I have not been feeling very motivated when it comes to my blog, Tarot or just anything in general. Its like the New Year started and I don't feel refreshed or ready to set goals. I just kinda feel, "meh". On the positive side, my anxiety seems to be in check and my depression is at an all time low, with barely any depressed feelings/thoughts in about a month and a half, not that I am counting...okay maybe I am counting, just a little bit. I wish I was starting my 2016 posts with happiness and fun things, but like I have said in past posts, I want to keep it real over here at Adventures in Tarot Reading and sometimes the adventures turn into a bit of a shit creek and that's okay too. It is OK to not feel awesome about the New Year and not to be excited. It is OK to feel tired and blah. It is fine to want to be a Hermit as long as you know eventually you will have to go back to normal life. Plus you would miss out in a lot of awesomeness if you stay in the funk; therefore this is me, metaphorically putting on my big girl pants and getting on with it! Tarot on Tasha, Tarot on... (sometimes you have to be your own cheerleader)! I have some suspicions these feelings are not just happening to me. I think they might be happening to a lot of people and it could be generated by what's going on in the skies and sadly I am not talking about UFOs, I am talking about our good buddy Mercury and what it has been up too lately.
As some of you may know we started 2016 with a Mercury Retrograde, full disclosure: I don't have a lot of astrology know-how to explain it to you here in great detail, but I'm gonna try so just stick with me... I can tell you it makes you crazy, communications fail, you can expect computer issues- like I am having right now and other electronic devices just seem to get a mind of their own and stop working. This is NOT a good time for business or for talking to people in general. Expect a lot of random arguments for no reason or conversations that go nowhere. If you work in Customer Service (may the Gods bless you!) you can bet your hat every crazy and their dog will call you or be at your station. Its just the wildness that comes with our lovely Mercury going backwards. Basically, for a Tarot Reader this is just a great BIG astrological kick in the pants. The good news it always passes and this month, it will be long gone by January 25th. Then it will rear its ugly head again in April. I like to think this has a lot to do with the lack of focus I have been feeling since the holidays have passed.
If you have felt like your brain has just packed up and left for greyer (he-he) pastures then you my friend, might be feeling this retrograde! My best advice is just take everything with a grain of salt. Live each day knowing that we are one day closer to the end of the madness. I don't recommend any business ventures, travel or work with technology during this time. If you must or have too, plan ahead, be diligent and create a schedule for yourself. Back up the computer, save your files and save them again just to be safe. Be mindful of what you say to people or how you are coming across. Everyone is on a bit of an edge right now. Try not to spark up any debates or nitpick. Just go with the flow the best you can. You and I will be 100% fine. I wish I knew some magick spell to make this time better but I don't so really just go with the flow! Remember there are only seven days left of this wildness and I think everyone will be feeling much better. Take some lessons from this time and practice how you handle all the crazy that is going on around you. You might come out of this knowing more about yourself, computers or just the world in general.
If you follow my Tarot Page on Facebook, you will see I pull a card of the day. Today I pulled the Eight of Pentacles, which pictures a young person working away crafting pentacles. The card is all about study, working hard and mastering your craft. When I saw this card come up, I took it as a sign that I should just get back into Full Stealth Tarot Mode and get on with it! I love my cards. I love Tarot. I love this blog. I am not going to let Mercury mess that up! Keep on keeping on readers! We GOT this!!!

 

BONUS- Here is a picture of my gorgeous Tarot loving Boston to make all of you feeling this retrograde wildness feel better!
