Is anyone else feeling like it’s a shaky time? Most people who I know or encounter are going through some sort of dilemma. Big or small, it feels like life is coming at us full force.
I can not even begin to explain how many walls I have (metaphorically) slammed into in almost all aspects of my life. So much so, if 
I hear, “it was not meant to be” one more time, I may give someone a seriously bitchy look. Sorry in advance.
I am all about intention, intention, intention, however, It seems that even with all the right intention sometimes the Universe just wants you to take a certain path leaving you to simply have faith in Her Divine plan.
In an astrological perspective, we just got out of a period called Mercury Retrograde. If you believe in the common phrase, “as above, so below” then you certainly have an idea that the galaxy’s planetary shifts, changes, and alignments all have an energetic affect on our environment which in turn creates shifts, changes and alignments in our personal lives.
Mercury Retrograde is when Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, speeds up and upon its forward momentum, creates turbulence – much like when a stopped car suddenly accelerates and the dust or debris under the tires gets stirred up and flies onto a vehicle passing by.
On an energetic level, we are feeling that dust from Mercury’s retrograde which is manifesting in all forms, placing life’s drama center-stage. Good news: there is always some great lesson just around the corner waiting to greet you with an “ah ha!” moment.
However great the challenge, there is a daily practice of letting go and surrendering to What Is. Finding truth in the ugly, the sad and the frustrating is part of the process to begin to remove yourself from the negative emotions. Just as there is truth in the light, the truth also lives in the dark. It is simply our work to remove the dark veils (life’s obstacles) and tap into that truth. The truth is not always served in flowery form… so let it be whatever form it takes, and slow down. The very act of not reacting is the best “reaction”. Let truth be what it is.
Mercury’s retrograde is kicking up some magic dust. It is the universe’s way of bringing change into your life. However many “no’s” you may be experiencing at this time, embrace the storm with gratefulness.
Peace and Calmness,
Victoria

I think when you walk trough life, there is certain periods where you take the knowledge and the experience of the positive outcome, the dust, you shake it off, and keep living, enjoying every moment, paying attention of the beauty, always see the beauty of creation.
Very true Dinorah.Paying attention to the beauty is so vital.
Awesome – very inspirational!
