All Signs

Normally Mercury moves along at a good clip, covering one or two degrees a day. However, yesterday, today and tomorrow it will sit at 14?. Then on Tues. it will stay at 15? for seven days, slowly edging backwards. (You get the picture.) And yes, we will be forgetful. We will make mistakes and goofy errors. We will misplace items and miss appointments. People from our past will cross our paths in person, online, in our thoughts or our dreams. But let us remember this is also a fantastic opportunity to finish old work, check off things from our To Do list, especially practical items and paperwork we've been avoiding. Hey, when it comes to procrastination, I'm Queen of Denial: "What do we want? "PROCRASTINATION!" "When do we want it?" "Tomorrow!"
