I’m finally crawling out of my cave now.
This summer’s Creative Initiation adventure has been affecting us all in different areas of life, and for me it involved my husband and I uprooting from Florida for good, and coming back here to the Northwest. After a 4400-mile road trip that got longer as we traveled, we both declare that we are never, ever, moving again (although with Uranus in the 4th I can only hope that’s true).
I continued to appear on my Thursday radio segment while I was traveling, so I have quite a few audio posts for you as well.
We had a grand adventure, to be sure: a tour of Atlanta, some time with my family up north, a great stay in Chicago, national parks, and of course, lots of cornfields. It wreaked havoc on our schedules and our blogs, but we’re settling back into Seattle now and life is getting back on track.

A lot of people run around like the sky is falling before the few weeks that Mercury turns retrograde, but I’ve always found these three-week periods to be unusually productive. It may be because Mercury is retrograde in my birth chart, so this is one of the few times of the year that the rest of the world is in step with me! I joke that I have a Mercury retrograde vaccine- I’m inoculated against some of the more annoying side effects.
No matter where Mercury falls in your chart, now is the time to go back and revisit old projects, to revise your plans, to reestablish good habits, and to recover a bit from this intense summer we’ve been having. People with Gemini or Virgo in their chart tend to have it a bit rougher during these times, but we’re all affected to some degree.
Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Virgo from August 20, 2010 to September 12, 2010. What areas of your life need attention right now? What old projects and ideas can you resurrect at this time?
Congrats on the move! Best of luck to you

And, yeah, I’m definitely feeling the fire of productivity over here. Virgo time is fun time!
