Mercury screeches to a halt in mid-Capricorn in the middle of this week, just after he has moved backwards over Pluto. Based on Mercury stationing and needing time to rev up again, he will linger just behind Pluto all week. Mercury closely conjunct Pluto for a significant amount of time, and with the pair additionally trining Jupiter in earth signs, certainly has implications. Thought and communication, manifested in a concrete, structured manner, and moving back to a more usual mode of expression, has direct access to raw power and sharp perspectives, and a harmonious link to Jupiter’s optimism and expansive qualities. Life regains a more familiar feel, in use of logic, networking, commerce, and other domains of Mercury. Given the earthy influences in the transits as Mercury goes direct, moving ahead with projects at work and initiating activity in career, after retrograde Mercury’s assessment and evaluation period, allows them to progress with greater force and clarity.

Modern science is only beginning to catch up to the wisdom of the ancients: plants possess sentience and a rudimentary form of intelligence.

Plants are far more intelligent and capable than we have given them credit for. In fact, provocative research from 2010 published in Plant Signaling & Behavior proposes that since they cannot escape environmental stresses in the manner of animals, they have developed a “sophisticated, highly responsive and dynamic physiology,” which includes information processes such as “biological quantum computing” and “cellular light memory” which could be described as forms of plant intelligence.

Titled, “Secret life of plants: from memory to intelligence,” the study highlights one particular “super power” of plants indicative of their success as intelligent beings: “There are living trees that germinated long before Jesus Christ was born. What sort of life wisdom evolved in plants to make it possible to survive and propagate for so long a time in the same place they germinated?”

Do you think humanity is f*cked?!?

Considering the destructive and unconscious actions of many people around the world, it can be easy to fall in to despair. But I always remind myself of the following facts when I get upset and it always fills me up with an infallible optimism, conviction, love, and purpose. I hope they bring you light when things seem dark, and uplift your spirits when the world gets heavy.

5 Facts to Make You an Optimist!

1) We can’t judge the conscious evolution of humanity based on the stagnancy of those who aren’t interested in consciously evolving.

These “basic” kinds of people have always existed relative to more conscious, educated, and multifaceted people, and there has always been more of them. Evolution by its very definition means the new development, diversity, and complexity of an existing system, so therefore conscious evolution is always going to be determined by a relatively marginalized minority, as it always has.

A simple act of forgiveness, even if you are not responsible for the behavior, can change your world. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, when you are wishing to manifest something, it is important that the essence of what you want creates a good feeling for you, in order for you to be fully accepting of it. Let us give you an example.

If you are having difficulty with money, ask yourself how you really feel about money. Perhaps you feel the energy of money is cold and impersonal. It will be very hard for you to draw to you anything that you feel resistance to. Feel deeper into what it is you wish to create. Perhaps wealth is a better word for you. Maybe it is comfort and ease you wish to create. By focusing on the true essence of what it is you are trying to achieve, you will have a much easier and enjoyable time with the creation of it.

If you are wishing to have a love relationship but equate love with hurt, you will have a difficult time being successful because you will be trying to draw to you something you are resistant to. Perhaps you could replace the word love with joyful connection. Maybe companionship is a word you would feel more positive about. Maybe partner, or soul mate, or divine other, or beloved will better capture the essence of what is desired.
