The Magical Gift of Retrograde

In this earthly experience, we are always driven to move forwards, press ahead, invent, manifest new beginnings, take on new roles, become bigger, better, faster.

This becomes our own PERSONAL MARATHON and

can be EXHAUSTING.

A necessary component of our personal evolution is advancement. During times of advancement we become worn down physically, mentally, emotional and spiritually, from the demands that we endure.

When participating in a Marathon, there are times that you might slow down, maybe stop, check your breathing, adjust your pace, take time to look ahead to plot your path, enjoy the accomplishment of how far you have come from the top of a vantage point, bandage a blister, wrap an knee, decide if you are going to finish what you started, you may even have to reverse and take another trail.

It is necessary for each and everyone of us to have the opportunity to take a break in the action.

During this moment in time VERY LITTLE is REQUIRED

WE SIMPLY

RElax, REcharge, REvisit, REflect, REview, REconnect, REpair , REorganize

…..and any other REs you can think of.

The universe is magical and an awesome caregiver, affording us this opportunity through retrogrades.

It is a time that allows us to slow down, catch our breaths, and take a look at the reality that we are creating for ourselves.
