Okay. I admit it – I almost forgot something big. It even happened the same day I posted the last two posts!
Mercury entered Libra on Sunday, September 16th at 4:22p PDT, and it’s a very important influence for the next few weeks!
First of all, this is one of the fastest trips (if not the fastest) that Mercury will take through a sign this year. Its 2012 journey through Libra will take all of about 20 days, moving into Scorpio on October 5th. But don’t let the short time frame fool you – this 2012 Mercury in Libra cycle is bound to pack a punch.
Under Mercury in Libra’s influence, there will be a lot of ideas, thoughts, and conversations about your relationships and partnerships in the next three weeks. In those conversations, what is likely to be communicated is your choices about whether which relationships are staying or going in your life. They aren’t likely to be easy talks to have in the moments. In fact, they may be down right ugly at times. Yet the choices you are making and acting upon – if you’re truly following your heart’s desires and honoring the plans you’ve set in motion as you are making them – will prove very positive for you and your life in the long run.
If you are not making these relationship and partnership choices in your best interests, be aware that things may occur in your life and around you in order to help you correct your course. Of course, these occurrences will be outside your control for the most part – you’ll be in more of a response or reaction position than an action or instigation one. This may be difficult for you if you like to (try to) control matters. However, if you find these challenges occurring for you, it’s likely because you missed “the call” while trying to “call the shots”.
What is “the call”, exactly?
“The call” over these last few months has been to discover, align with, and honor your inner truth – in every way and in every aspect of your life – in order to shine your unique expression of Light fully out into the world. Even if you’re not shining it yet, each of us has been encouraged to create a plan to implement a solid and stable support structure for yourself in order for you to feel and be strong and confident in putting yourself out there as who you truly are in and for the world and its beings.
The reason Mercury in Libra is so important right now is because it is like calling ‘your troops’ (the people important to you in your life) into a battle of sorts – a battle for your life, and in some ways, their lives. You’ll need to know who’s really going to be there for you to encourage you, to back you up, to lift you up, to help you shine, to celebrate your successes big and small, and to love you whether you succeed or not as you move forward in your life’s journey to fulfill “your calling”. You’ll also need to communicate to these people just how much you value them for who they are and how much you value their presence in your life and how you intend to be for them what they are for you to the best of your ability.
This Mercury in Libra cycle is unusually powerful as it begins with Saturn already in Libra (though late in the sign at 28°) and the Moon also in Libra (though only briefly – until early on Tuesday, September 18, 2012). Then the Sun enters Libra on Saturday the 22nd , shining the Light of Truth onto your relationships and partnerships of all kinds. If it’s not already clear to you what you need to say or do in some of the relationships in your life, you’ll figure it out for sure as September plays out.
This 2012 Libra cycle is meant to create some seriously strong foundation and structure for you. What you are doing in and for your life now really will play a huge role as you move forward into your future. Even though you may never know completely what the future holds as we each and all have free will to a large degree, rest assured that Mercury in Libra is the beginning of clarifying and communicating the foundation you are creating for whatever may come.
NOW is the time to get clear about the relationships you have in your life – to choose who you want to choose, to say what you need to say, to do what you need to do.
And with that said, if you ever wanted to know the perfect time to say what you’ve always wanted to say to someone but never said…well…these next three weeks would be that time. Don’t miss “the call”. Answer it instead.
Thanks for reading and sharing. Until next post…
~ Light, Love, and blessings,
Grace
