A Time for Thinking About Your Thinking

And Finding Comfort and Clarity in the Guidance Shared for Your Sun Sign

The Current Cosmic Mysteries



Last week the conundrum of why, when the Full Moon was poised ready to shed light on the Cosmic landscape, were we, and perhaps more importantly the scientific community, experiencing confounding confusion surrounding 3I/Atlas and the current state of the Cosmos. Now, one week later, the scientists, channels, psychics and astrologers continue to present more questions and profound, and even sometimes contradictory mysteries. Confusing conundrums are, it seems, a continuing new normal. Thus, in a quest for greater clarity, this week’s recommendation is for those who find the state of the cosmos fascinating to DYOR (Do Your Own Research) and do so expecting confusion and uncertainty. The Mojo will now turn our attention to a topic with a greater potential for making a real difference in our everyday lives. This post examines the coming Mercury Retrograde (11/9 – 11/29) and shares sign-by-sign suggestions for how you can find comfort and clarity by utilizing this time to upgrade your

thinking,

Noteworthy Trends in Our Multifaceted State of Thinking and Intelligence

Mercury, the planet of the mind, when it turns retrograde heralds a time when we are invited to rethink, and as needed revolutionize our understanding about life. Rethinking intelligence is yet another new normal. In this vein, the scientific community is mesmerized by 3I/Atlas, the

interstellar celestial (and perhaps spooky intelligent) visitor to our solar system. And for, yet, additional intellectual complexity the business world is obsessed with figuring out innovation as there is a push for developing ever increasingly “smart” artificial intelligence that provides

progress and profit. Clearly, there’s a whole lot of thinking about thinking going on. It seems apt that we, thus, take time to glean wisdom from the November Mercury Retrograde.

As Mercury appears to be dancing backward through the sky, this perception, in combination with a heightened interest in AI and 3I/Atlas, the Universe can be perceived as inviting us into a new dialogue with consciousness. And, the most helpful focus for individuals isn’t related to how and if machines and interstellar visitors can and do think but rather to focus on the question: Are you taking charge of creating your own reality? Mercury Retrograde is an ideal time to reaffirm recognition of a law of nature that the vibrations of your thoughts have real

consequences.
