Avoid the Temptation To Just “Give Up”

By Dr Jill Ammon-Wexler

Surprising things can happen when we’re “running on empty” and tempted to give up!

I was attending a week-long seminar a while back when I discovered I had only packed a tiny “travel size” tube of tooth paste that seemed empty. I had 4 more days to spend on a very remote little part of the island of Kawai, and no stores in sight. Was it time to “brush with salt?” Ugg!

Now this might seem like a very small problem, but it actually contained an important life lesson.

Manifesting Our Dreams

It takes more than Vision Boards, and visualization to attract what we want in life. Manifesting our dreams requires that we make changes from the inside out. Not only do we need to notice our negative thoughts and feelings and change them, and then get into action behind our goals, but we also have to pay attention to our fears, angers and resentments – and these aren’t quite so easy to connect with since they are usually buried deep within our subconscious selves.

Mercury Retrograde, Jan 11-31

Another Mercury Retrograde, the first of four for 2009. When Mercury, the planet that rules communication and technology is in retrograde motion (appearing to be going backwards, the best advice is to slow down and take a second look at your plans and directions.  This is the time for working on the foundations,  of your life and business, as opposed to adding on new “rooms”.  A perfect time for renovations, a lusy time for decieding to purchase.

Says, Phil, our resident Astrologer about this particular Mercury Retrograde:

Folks into numerology will get a kick out of when this Mercury retrograde cycle officially begins (1/11), at 11:42 AM (EST) on the eleventh day of the new year. (2+0+0+9 = eleven, and isn’t “42″ the answer to everything?). While the thought of a Mercury retrograde can cause sheer terror for the fear-filled, especially with a Cancerian Full Moon starting it off, this Mercury retrograde begins at eight degrees Aquarius with the Sabian keynote “The inspiration one may derive from the appearance of Exemplars who present to us the archetypes of a new culture (and) new collective developments.” Keep in mind that “new collective developments” are what the exalted Aquarian mindset is all about and we’ll be way ahead of the game.

In other words, Mercury (our inner connection to our Life Source the Sun) begins this retrograde cycle with “exemplars” (ideal role models) and “archetypes” (psychological aspects of the Universal mind) emerging to help us form a “new culture” with “new collective developments.” An unevolved mind might be wondering if these whacko’s (exemplars and archetypes) are appearing at this time as agents working for or against their selfish “best” interests, while the evolved mind can begin to realize (making it real) that we humans are truly the crown of creation, also known as the height of human evolution.

Again, the Mercury retrograde cycles of 2008 (the “Year of the Imagination”) occurred wholly within the Air signs, generally meaning they lacked cosmic anchors in making “outside-the-box” ideas reality – not all – but more often than not. In this retrograde cycle, Mercury slides back into officious Capricorn on January 21, providing an Earthy foundation for whatever has been on our altered (retrograde) minds (Mercury). With this Mercury retrograde starting off in creative and unconventional Aquarius, whatever whacky and inventive ideas (Aquarius) we get during the first half of this Mercury retrograde cycle can find practical applications (Capricorn) during the second half, well into February.

Mercury tangles with think-big Jupiter three times during it’s retrograde cycle and beyond (from December 31 to February 24), giving us plenty of time to make big (Jupiter) whacky (retrograde) ideas (Mercury) find practical (Capricorn) solutions. Again, the future belongs to fearless individuals who can make this sort of thing happen – making it real – in whatever way we want “it” to look like.

I Resolve

With Saturn in retrograde through most of this month, and a mercury retrograde coming up in a few days, this is not the best time to  launch new projects – but it is a powerful time to make plans, to set new directions for ourselves… in other words, it’s a great time to make some New Year’s resolutions that just might stick.

I got into the habit of making new year’s resolutions many years ago when I saw how creating a focus for the period really helped to move me along on my spiritual path.  Taking time to plan makes it easier to get where you want to go…

Tips for making resolutions…

·  keep them simple, achievable.

·  keep them positive…  I resolve to eat healthy as opposed to resolving to lose (or gain) weight

·  give yourself a starting point, identify small steps that you can take to get there, set a plan of action…. Then take the first step.
