This is a slightly longer Mercury post than usual as Mercury will be here for an extended period of time. You have many decisions before you and it is time to make the ones which have great bearing on how you will lead your life. Manifestation is taking place now as you work on the things which have held you back for so long. Do not overgive of yourself, but do be helpful to others whenever you can. You may start out the first couple of days thinking that you will not be capable of pulling off this whole moving on thing, but it is merely your doubts and fears speaking, because there is so much unknown. Do not listen to them.

A tremendous amount of patience on your part has been required since the position you found yourself in last August, until the arrival of this one in 2016. The burning desire for change has grown ever stronger over the past year, which actually makes it that much easier to do away with the old life for good. While you are still uncertain exactly where all of this is leading, and the impending Mercury retrograde in the middle of all of this can make things slightly foggy, you do have a vision for these changes. Your strength lies in your ability to stand on your own two feet more each day; much of this has had to be done on your own, so your new-found independence of sorts will lead you toward more stable emotions and situations. You are the creator of your own happiness, no one else can do this for you. While many of you feel as though in one particular area you have had to start from scratch, you have created for yourself a rock-solid base from which to rebuild.

Time is a wasting, my friends, and you have come to accept the value of it. Be true to yourself and sort your life out in black and white, pros and cons; leave no gray areas to be dealt with later. The Universe is working on putting many things into place, including the new beginnings you desire. Everyone has in their mind, their own picture of what would make their life perfect; in order to create this perfection, it is extremely important to remain practical in your choices. Be nothing short of honest with yourself. If you have situations, relationships, issues, anything which does not resonate with what will truly make you happy, and in your heart of hearts, no matter how hard you may have tried, you know it is not right for you, then by all means do listen to what your inner voice has to say.

It takes a little while to achieve that peace and harmony you seek. Go with the flow as much as possible. Mercury will begin shadow August 10 before retrograding August 30, and then leave shadow October 7 after going direct on September 22. Do try to remain noncommittal to new things during this time frame; bounce them back and forth a bit and simply go with the flow. There is movement away from the losses of the last few years, and you will find your focus shifting more and more toward the future and the promises which it holds. This does not feel like as difficult a Mercury retrograde as some can be, so long as you follow the basic rules. You will emerge from the other side of it in a much more balanced and tranquil state.

Thanks in advance for your share!❤️
