This week officially kicked off Mercury in Retrograde and apparently there is supposed to be a shit storm for ALL astrology signs in September. Susan Miller knows her stuff. Take a peek and keep it in the back of your mind. Or not. Up to you.
The Pisces folk (me) are supposed to have an exceptionally rough time because of some moon or something, so yeah. I’m trying to remain optimistic, even though the main shit storm is supposed to blow through the week of the Cap show. Ugh!
You can chose to believe in it or not. But based on my past experiences and people coming to me and asking me “is something going on in the universe that everything is all F’d up?” I find it highly coincidental that those questions get asked right in the middle of a Mercury in Retrograde. Nearly always.
But October 29th looks like all signs are in the clear, so we all have that going for us. Which is nice. At least Halloween will be free and clear so hauntings can properly commence. But until then, communication, everyone’s energy, and technologies will be quite a mess.
I try to use Mercury in Retrogrades to hunker down and focus on my inner world, rather than focus on the sky is falling aspect (little too much of that already in my life) I have started to feel the “shift” in the overall energy and it’s a little dicey. Why am I talking like a crazy assed new ager? Because I’m an empathic clairvoyant. Yes, that is actually true. A term, label, etc brought to my attention a few years back by several individuals in the know. Comforting (sort of) after years of wondering if I was going nuts.
Your usual:
-Psychic nighttime dreams that would later produce themselves in reality, days, weeks later (from childhood on).
-Walking through a house and having those “feelings/visions” of horrible things and finding out a murder took place where I just walked through.
-Feeling everything and everyone else’s feelings around me including becoming suddenly physically ill when others are ill.
-And seeing dead people like Haley Joel Osment in The 6th Sense.
No not that last part so much, but kind of. Through the help and work of other Empathic, Psychic, Clairvoyant individuals they confirmed what I always suspected. I finally was able to have some explanation and verification to it all. Again, you can chose to believe or not (I certainly don’t care). However, it is what it is and it is very real. I still find it a curse and not so much a blessing yet. Especially since it isn’t something I can command (yet). It comes and goes and then I wonder if I should trust it. That is the tough part. I’m working on it though.
Of course nobody believes me if it comes up. Or it is met with lots and lots and lots of skepticism. I understand that. I really do. But I live it. So I have no choice. However, lots of people who I would have thought otherwise, have come to me to ask me to read their tarot cards and then report back months later how they were completely surprised of how true it turned out to be. A little proof perhaps that it’s real. So if you want a tarot card reading from me, just ask. I’ll be glad to do one for you. But I do use books. Which is why I don’t charge. I have too much other crap to memorize.
Back to the current Mercury in Retrograde, since I have felt the sort of unsettling shift of this current planetary clusterf*ck here is what I plan to do with the angry planets this month. With the exception of coming out for Capitola Music rehearsals and shows, I am staying holed up in my studio and continuing the process of purging my home of its 10 or more years of crap. Those are my plans. Because regardless of what good old Merc has in store over the next 2-3-4 weeks (years) I have plans of my own. Plans of action.

This week, I had two full rehearsals for the Capitola. Next week I will have more. Rumor has it that a special guest bass player will be joining our little group for Sept 19. He may or may not be Aaron Johnson from the band previously known as Sweet Jelly who has since gone back to his roots as a jazz musician and comic strip tycoon. See? I told you that the break up of Sweet Jelly was amicable. Truth be told I am ecstatic that he is going to join us. He and his upright bass. He is a phenomenal musician, performer and friend.
Last night’s rehearsal with Jenny and Mark was so much fun. We didn’t need to, but all three of us talked in mic’s to each other as we played, joked around and sung together. Gave Jenny’s neighbors a real show and turned it up to 11. Folk style 11, but still 11 nonetheless. When I walked out to the car to get something, I was surprised how much could be heard outside just from my little six channel practice amp. I should have taken pictures, movies, recorded something but I didn’t. Next time I will. It was just an amazing amount of fun and I felt great (and grateful) inside as I drove home with the moon out listening/singing to tunes on my iPod in the car.
Making music with like minded people again has done wonders for my soul. After several months of feeling a huge sense of loss due to the “retirement” of my band, along with a few other things, I am finally feeling positive about that change and looking forward to the future releasing some regret and sadness about Sweet Jelly’s end. Feels good. Finally. I’m pretty excited and grateful for this new opportunity and experience, especially since it’s forecasted to be of the ongoing nature. So stay tuned for more dates.
September 19th cannot show up soon enough. Should be a lot of fun that night.
