Changes in latitudes,
Changes in attitudes

I have written some very long blog posts this week. A couple of them (as happens often) kind of wrote themselves, because writing is a very effective way for me to think -- and there has been a lot of chaos and aggravation on Steemit and elsewhere in life. Sorting things out and getting a better fix on what's going on and what to do next has been important.

That effort just got some help from the Cosmos itself. Mercury moved into Taurus this week ... and that mellows out the hurry-and-hustle atmosphere of Mercury in Aries ... especially when that pushy, dynamic combination is stressed ... and wow it sure is that these days with all that Capricorn energy consolidating its power, preparing for a mighty moment of change coming next January.

If you doubt any of that, look at what's happening in government now. Even I am astonished that "next January" is the celestial stage for some kind of revolutionary change. It sure looks like things are happening now faster than that -- but we'll see. Maybe all that urgency was part of Mercury in Aries -- and its belligerent, defiant attitude. We sure saw plenty of that on display. But I digress ...

And a change of pace

Mercury in Taurus settles things down a bit and puts its energy into careful planning and strategy. It tones down the rhetoric ... and substitutes determination for threats and provocation. That would be nice. (Which may be why the Cosmic cycles slotted that in here ... now.)

Anyway ... this will be brief -- or as brief as anything ever is with me. There are things I need to focus on elsewhere in life, personally and professionally -- and both the rewards and satisfactions of Steemit are diminishing quickly ... making some of my possible choices a lot easier than they have been in the past. Life also has ways of working things out ... differently. Maybe this is an example of that in action.

Time for some deliberate, objective thinking -- and careful planning. Take that little tidbit as the summary of my advice today. It's become very important.

Meanwhile, Mercury moved into Taurus this week -- which is where I started this piece a moment ago. Here's what that means for all of us -- in plain English.

Mercury has moved into Taurus

When Mercury is in Taurus, ideas and attitudes are stable, pleasant, patient and concerned with long-range planning. Thinking shows affection, compassion, dependability, devotion, loyalty, generosity and is concerned with "being nice." This energy is composed, calm, placid, and highly opinionated.

For Taurus, everything is a personal possession ... and that includes even its thoughts. People focus on income, money, belongings, physical property, spending habits, and the use of material resources. They want to make plans and follow them through. Taurus hates to waste energy ... especially its own.

Folks are aware of their values ... and how their lifestyles support these. They want harmony and plenty of physical pleasure. They think and talk about things that are materialistic and practical ... and concentrate on supporting and enjoying themselves.

Under stress with Mercury in Taurus, views (and prejudices!!) become fixed, inflexible, coarse, lazy, self-indulgent, extravagant, and jealous.

Talk to you guys later. Maybe.

Very sage advice as always ES! I need to take note especially...

and careful planning.

I tend to leave stuff to the last minute unless it's something I really really enjoy and have been doing a lot of planning lately as we're really busy with guests all needing breakfasts and dinners, quite hectic!

I so enjoy these posts. You have a wonderful way of explaining how cosmic energy effects everyday life. Thank you for taking the time to write and share these here. 💞
