#203 - Weekly Energy Update for May 8, 2022

With Mercury retrograde and Jupiter entering into Aries this week, we're in the thick of life-changing energies leading up to a Total Scorpio Full Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse.

Mercury retrograde, as we all know, is notorious for throwing our electronics, travel, and communications into disarray. I'm not going to lie to you: it's not pretty. This retrograde will be a little bumpy because it falls in the middle of eclipse season. All of these occurrences happening at the same time can make us feel disoriented and anxious. Mercury retrograde is always a period of deep reflection during which the cosmos begs us to slow down.

Jupiter enters Aries on the same day as Mercury turns retrograde, Tuesday the 10th. Jupiter's shift from sleepy Pisces to relentless Aries can be startling, like waking up to the sound of a fire truck siren. And everything can feel as if it had to be completed right away. There's a sense of urgency here, perhaps a false sense of urgency. This isn't a good vibe. Both world wars began when Jupiter was in the sign of Aries. There is tension and frustration in the air.

Knowing this and taking extra precautions to keep calm and balanced can assist tremendously. This week, taking care of our mental health is the top priority.

And it's all leading up to next Sunday's Total Scorpio Full Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse. Eclipses help us stay on track. They slam other doors shut to open new ones. Everything happening this week is waking us up and forcing us to let go of what no longer serves our souls.

"I am centered and balanced, moving forward toward the life of my dreams," is the week's mantra.
