What a life

Well, the Saturn return is in full effect. I thought maybe because I'd built up the SR so much before it actually happened that I would be more prepared, or that the manifestations of all the issues that theoretically could occur would somehow be more manageable. I guess to some extent I was a little more prepared in that I know this stuff is supposed to be happening, and that in the long run it's for the best. Maintaining that attitude has been difficult at times, but for the most part it's become both my mantra and my coping mechanism.

Not helping my cause (or anyone else's for that matter) was Mercury going retrograde last month. Since Mercury rules communication, the period when it appears to be moving backwards also makes things like technology, interpersonal relationships and phone connections go on the fritz. The astrology experts warn against making any important decisions during a Mercury retrograde, as you may not have all the facts or may not be thinking clearly. Unfortunately, Mercury doesn't always like to cooperate.

As soon as Mercury went retro, I had to make important decisions. Of course. Everything felt like it was suddenly in flux. It seems like now that I'm older and (kind of) know what I want, the options are endless rather than being narrowed down. Even though I was somewhat prepared, the challenges Saturn is throwing at me are already getting pretty difficult (and we're only six months in). Time to put the shitkickers on and do it to it.
