Thinking makes it “so…”
Our current Aquarian Mercury retrograde starts 1.30.21 and will last till 2.20.21.
“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”…. Shakespeare
With this Mercury Retrograde overlapping with Valentine’s Day, our reflection will look into our hearts more deeply and how we can change the course of love by just our thoughts alone.
Our world emulates the state of which our mind is looking. Let’s say we have daily journal practice, and all we write in that journal are the negative things, that is the “bad” in thinking it so.
You will eventually go back and read the journal. What has happened? It has then become a place of one-sided illusion that overshadows the goodness that was also present during those moments.
Journaling is very important but maintaining a sense of levity in the complexity of your psyche for a later date should also include the context of including the beautiful and happy experiences. Reading your journal years later and only seeing the darker force that compelled what you wrote can overshadow the experiences of good and making that “so”.
The Aquarian dream of creating whatever reality we think starts with a choice to be free.
That choice can start as small snowflake and eventually turn into a beautiful and peaceful snow-covered valley.
The Cure song “Just Like Heaven” sings of an experience where the muse expresses her love to Robert Smith and the singer can only think of the ways he loves her. He cannot express himself to her. His internal expression leaves the relationship in a dream reality and thus it never fully comes to its deepest expression. He can only internalize his feeling and she never fully knows what he is truly really feeling. This experience is a dreamy reflection of this Mercury retrograde reality in which the self-imposed soul cages can go to our heads, and our fears of external expression can be defused even in the face of pure love.
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away, she said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you…
The Cure and Shakespeare seemed to be reflecting the same kind of feeling when Mercury is stationed retrograde. We can either make the good “so” or we can lose sight of truly bonded love for fear of putting our faith in another because our head gets in the way.
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
Take this freeing retrograde and learn to express the wanting desires of your consciousness. The trick is to bring them into form with positive reflections of life. You have the power to shift everything over the next 23 days thinking to make it “so”….
