Mercury's Retrograde Through Virgo: Day 2

Dreams visited me again last night, and early this morning.

First I dreamt that I was arguing with a bank teller over the phone about transfers I had made to Bitcoin. The amount was allowable but close to not being so, and she was arguing with me about it. The feeling was one of unjustness.

I remembered my second dream upon waking, and even told it to Brandon. But the content escapes me now. How frustrating!

I already failed this morning on my social media time - scrolled and consumed. I had no plan with the kids this morning, and while it was enjoyable to laze around and do some chores, the lack of direction made staying off my phone/computer a challenge.

But when I did take a moment to lay flat on the hardwood, and breathe deeply, I felt everything slow down.

Yesterday felt magickal and connected with ease, while I had to apply effort today. Do the same thing, get the same results (even during Mercury’s retrograde?) I get the sense that small, tiny actions now can ripple out into big changes.

The feeling and scent of incoming autumn is so home-y to me. I simply love it. Organization, back to school, cool, peaceful.

I have such a fiery chart that I think the drop into earthier seasons is very balancing for me.

I wish I could remember that other dream.

I will also share how much I love the purity of astrological expression through children.

On the first day of Cancer season, my daughter said she didn’t want to go to school and she wanted to stay home. She built a cozy fort of blankets and pillows on our couch, filled it with stuffed animals, and defended it valiantly when any family member tried to sit down.

On the first day of Leo season, she came down to my bed and we played mama lion and baby lion. We roared and wrestled and rested in the den.

Today, in our super-charged Virgo season, she started cutting and folding tiny pieces of paper, creating small books for each one of us. She hid them in places where her Dad is likely to find them (on top of the coffee grinder).

Sweetness and slowness abounds.

I have a giant list of things I want to accomplish, and am oscillating between feeling determined and discerning with it, like I can do it one step at a time, and feeling overwhelmed like nothing will ever be as perfect or efficient as it COULD BE.
