Where Did That Come From? - 6/24/07

Last evening I was feeling a little let down by the whole blogging experience. I felt like I'd stuck my big foot in my mouth and managed to irritate or scare off a few people. I was thinking maybe I'd just step away from it for awhile, or go back behind the veil and not be so open. Then this morning I got some lovely comments from some friends and some readers so my world is sunny again. Perhaps it was just Uranus going retrograde.

From Astrology.com

"June 21 marks the changing of the seasons with the solstice, ushering in the latest in a series of retrograde movements. Indeed, as independent Uranus turns retrograde on June 23, this eccentric planet joins four other planets that are currently retrograde: Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto. That’s a lot of review! Uranus entered Pisces for a seven-year sojourn on December 30, 2003, and once a year it goes retrograde or backtracks in the sign of the dream seeker to make sure that the changes you are instituting into your life are fully integrated.

You are making changes, aren’t you? This Uranus retrograde period will last until November 24 -- so if you are trying to hold on to the old simply out of habit, you’ll be feeling every bit of this upheaval for several months, in the form of muscle tension, restlessness or irritability. These are changing times for everybody. Don't worry that you don't know where everything is heading; there's no way to know right now. Review the changes you’ve made since March of this year to see if you are taking into account your needs for freedom and authenticity."

This whole venue seems to fascinate and frighten people at the same time. We want to be authentic, but we don't want to invite the bottom crawlers out there into our lives either. I thought I had let go of the need to "write for" my readers. I want to write primarily for myself, but perhaps that isn't really possible after all because I find myself caring for these new friends.

Today I'm going to work some more on cleaning out my closet (literally and figuratively) and just enjoy being able to spend a quiet day at home.

Enjoy your Sunday.
