from a friend: Horoscopes for May 16-22: Preparing for Retrograde

Next week, both Mercury and Saturn turn retrograde, and in the time leading up to their direction change, they appear to stand still. When a planet is stationary, it feels like an energetic pause before a shift in momentum. Mercury is infamous for causing the breakdown of communication and plans, and in chatty Gemini, such troubles will be amplified. Saturn rules our structures, systems, and is associated with the status-quo. When Saturn goes retrograde for months, we are urged to reconsider what we are creating, and the intentions behind our goals. This week, it may feel as though things are already starting to go a bit haywire, but instead of getting lost in frustration, our highest path is to accept what is, and do our best to expand our awareness. Sometimes, life makes changes or decisions when we are unwilling to do so ourselves. Quite often, blessings are disguised as curses, and it takes time to understand the bigger picture.

Step back from your expectations and make an effort to stay positive. Difficulties and challenges are the things that stimulate us to grow.

Hard to comprehend that they are not all in cages already.

Hoping karma bats clean-up. Soon.

I can only imagine how our allies are looking at this country. I'm sure they love Joe, but how could they trust a country so spineless as to allow an open traitor attack such as 1/6 & those responsible are still free.
