Since the last Mercury retrograde, I’ve felt as if my life has been like a slow drain. Between technology fails, too many responsibilities, and more than a few situations outside of my control (waiting for a new car, the government shutdown, etc.), life has been moving but stagnant. It’s as if everything is clogged.
Don’t get me wrong – plenty of things have been accomplished. I’m on the second draft of my next book, and much-needed renovations are complete. So it’s not like things haven’t been happening – they are. Nonetheless, it feels like the Universe is constipated.
With another Mercury retrograde on the horizon, I wonder if this will persist – or will this mark the end of this sluggishness?
Yesterday, our tenant moved out. I went downstairs to assess the damage. It appears that we now have a new winter renovation project. Sigh. I grabbed my cleaning supplies and incense for some good old-fashioned rage cleaning. As I finished, the bathroom sink clogged. Because of course it did! Double sigh.
Nonetheless, I find that no matter what is happening, I can still focus on the good. There is plenty to find in this beautiful, terrible world. So while I wait for the plumber to unclog the sink, I’ll count my blessings. Sometimes, that’s all you can do – and it’s enough. No matter how clogged life seems, I can keep the gratitude flowing.

I’m definitely not your average Tarot expert — I drop the F-bomb, I quote rappers, and I’m obsessed with pop culture. Folks come to me for straight-talk + tough-love — without the woo-woo fluff.
