Cocooning is mandatory as we are in a very intense birthing period

Right after the inauguration and the epic coming forth of the Divine Feminine in ways I could not have imagined, including a bright sprite of a young priestess, our poet laureate of poet laureates, the voice of our hearts, I realized that my shoulders have been in my ears for quite some time. Though I would have liked to have seen the women dressed more warmly without the stockings and high heel ridiculousness in the freezing cold of January in D.C. but I am from another time and place in clothing design where I think all should dress for comfort and personal style and not to satisfy some socially accepted norm that might be absurd (and often is) for the wearer. Happy day it will be when a woman in political office can be as comfortable in her work clothing as she is when she is doing her most creative work and for some that may be stockings and heels! I like to dream BIG! and the men – clearly ties have choked off necessary oxygen to the brain of many so that will also be a grand day as well when men can be more comfortable.

Topsy-turvy energy of Mercury poised to go retrograde in Aquarius

Mercury has already been cruising through the mentally dynamic AIR sign Aquarius, joining Jupiter and Saturn and now the Sun transiting there, since January 17. As if I have to tell you….things have been moving crazy quickly and surprises seem to be popping up around every corner. Expect more of the unexpected. Ideas will be racing through your own mind as Mercury turns retrograde from January 30 through February 21. You will have some time to filter through all that is being downloaded. If you are a speed-brainer you will enjoy this upgraded momentum very much. If you’re of a more naturally slower pace best to buckle up as things are speeding up to warp and that might not feel so comfortable for you.
