June 2021: Lucky & Long: Appreciate the gift


JUNE 2021: LUCKY & LONG APPRECIATE THE GIFT. Spending time outdoors: Proactive Leisure, Self-care, & Finding your happy place.

~ June Newsletter~ ~Namaste Zogis ~

FOCUS OF THE MONTH Lucky and Long: Appreciate the gifts the month of June has to offer. The longest day of the year is in the month of June. Spend your days outdoors enjoying the beauty life has to offer. An attitude of gratitude is the lucky charm that will usher in what you need, and what you want. Leisure takes a front seat this month as well, not just any kind of leisure but proactive leisure. What is that you may ask? Proactive leisure is when you make time in your schedule to do something that resembles doing nothing. In reality you are doing something: REACHARGING. Allow these quiet moments of reflection to usher in vibrant ideas, energy and growth.This month has many humbling lucky stars which we can harness when we stay in the flow, balance, aka, our "happy place."

Hold onto your seat.... Mercury is officially in retrograde. "Mercury completes its orbit around the Sun in about 88 days, while Earth takes 365 days. Since Mercury travels faster, it zooms past Earth 3-4 times each year. As Mercury "rounds the bend," it appears to slow down, stop, move backward, stop again, then move forward— this cycle is known as retrograde or Rx from the Latin word "retrogradus" meaning "backward step." Mercury rules:

  • The conscious mind

  • How we perceive and relay information

  • Speaking, listening and negotiating

  • Buying and selling

  • Contracts, mails and other documents

  • Anything that has moving parts

  • Distribution networks

  • Short travels

Popular DON'Ts during Mercury Rx:

  • Do not sign contracts and submit important documents

  • Do not start a project that will take more than a day to complete

  • Do not purchase gadgets, electronics, vehicles and anything with moving parts

  • Do not renew your passport or apply for a visa

  • Do not trust your memory

  • Do not change your PINs and passwords

  • Do not undergo elective surgery

  • Do not get married

  • Schedules will keep changing, traffic will snarl, and important documents could be misplaced. For long trips, buy travelers checks, and carry-on important items and a set of clothing. Do not rely on weather reports; weather patterns can run wild.

DO things that start with "RE":

  • repair, research, recalculate, rethink rewrite, retake, repossess, recall and remember

  • Mercury Rx jolts us to review and REvise our life

  • Attend to accounting matters (REcount)

  • Look up an estranged lover and REunite

  • Write your account number clearly when you pay a bill

  • Secure your wallet in a vault

  • Put shackles on your day planner

  • Anchor your pen with a ball and chain

  • REpair a vehicle

  • Clean your house

  • REcycle and give away things you no longer need

  • Your memory will be like burnt toast during Mercury Rx. Guidelines and requirements will keep changing. Promises made will be ignored and appointments can be postponed. These are definitely not the right conditions for doing business. Start a business after Mercury goes direct. If you want to play safe, wait until Mercury exits its Post-Shadow period.

VERY IMPORTANT: Avoid scheduling Mercury-related activities from the time Mercury enters its Pre-Shadow period until Mercury exits its Post-Shadow period.

Instead reflect, relax, and reconnect to yourself and your soul. Instead of resisting the inevitable, accept the slowdown and enjoy it! After all, there is no time like the present, and YOU are the gift! <3
