Mercury went direct in Pisces this morning at 3:11a PDT.  All I can say on this one is *Whew!*.

It was an especially powerful Mercury Retrograde.  Probably because in combination with Sun in Aries (the sign of action and assertiveness), it gave us a chance to reflect – to truly revisit or confront our recent actions and behaviors, then assess whether or not those actions and behaviors really align with our ideals and visions of ourselves and our lives.

With Mercury going direct in Pisces on its way back into Aries, we now have a chance to establish clarity about our visions and intentions for our next steps in life.  And when Mercury reenters Aries on April 16th, we’ll really have the opportunities to convert our visionary ideas into actions to support them.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined…If one advances confidently in the direction of one’s dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” – Henry David Thoreau

For us to be able to make our dreams the reality of our lives, we must be able to align our actions and words with our thoughts and ideas.  Some examples:

• If you say that you want to take a class, but you never take action to register, how can you take the class?
• If you say that you want to win the lottery but you never buy a ticket, how are you going to win?
• If you say that you want to date someone, but you never share your feelings or ask them out, how do you get the date?

The point being, for us to manifest the lives and lifestyles we envision for ourselves, we must be willing to take actions to support those dreams and visions.  Otherwise, all they ever will be are dreams and visions.

So, now that Mercury is direct again…and now that you’ve had a few weeks to re-consider the alignment of your dreams and actions, what are the plans you are creating and starting to take action for yourself and your life?  What seeds are you planting through your actions and words?

Keep in mind – NOT taking action or speaking up also plants seeds.  You may be planting seeds of missed opportunity, closing doors that have been opened to you that you didn’t know (or refused to acknowledge) are open to you.  Like the examples above attest to, if you want something to happen, you need to take action.

And in taking action, it needs to be confident action.  There needs to be clear intention behind it.  That is why the clarity is so important. If you are clear about what you want, then you take actions from that place of clarity, you have no second guesses about your actions or words.  You have no concerns about whether or not what you are doing is moving you toward your dreams and goals.  Clarity gives you the confidence to stand behind your actions and words.

So make the most of this time of “planting seeds” by confidently taking the first steps to manifest your dreams and visions.  Say what you need to say, do what you need to do to move in the direction of your dreams.  Be confident and direct in the direct motion of Mercury.

Until next post…
