Not much going on

Not much going on during this mercury retrograde, although I have found that the only time a mercury retrograde is really meaningful is the time that mercury is actually stationary, and that is the stationary at the beginning, not the end of the period. It seems like the few hours maybe a day or two right during that time is the time of significant communication failures, and then only for those who's chart resonates with that particular retrograde. But maybe not. At any rate, my computer will not be fixed til the end of the month, because the computer repair person is on vacation, and my laptop will not arrive til about that time also. So in the meantime, perhaps it is better for the most part anyway, just to meditate on and chew over the lessons...

One of the I Ching hexagram images says, "thus the superior man goes indoors for rest and relaxation." That I think is a good thing to do periodically, all the more refreshed to start the lessons once again at the appropriate time, for this is the way of heaven and earth, everything in its proper measure, and at the appropriate time.
