This period could be a rough one, so be prepared. Mercury is the planet that rules communications. When Mercury goes retrograde, communications get mixed up, delays occur, accidents happen, things go awry and tension mounts.

Knowing this in advance, you can plan ahead. Fix your car in advance and back up your computer. Build extra time into your schedule, anticipate delays, avoid signing contracts or purchasing major electronics. When problems happen, go easy on yourself and other people. Cut them some slack and be compassionate. We’re in unprecedented times and we’re all in this together....

Mars is the hard driving planet that represents energy, action, physical vitality, and drive. It symbolizes male energy, freedom, action and war. Venus, the planet of love and feminine energy is Mars’ counterpart.

Every two years Mars goes retrograde for ten to twelve weeks. This is the time to step back and write a strategic plan for yourself and your business (if you have one). It’s a favorable time for research and considering your options. It’s not the time to begin new projects....

Lately I’ve been getting out and hiking Monday through Friday for one to two (sometimes more) hours with one to four other participants. I used to walk alone, and then a friend joined me in March when I stopped going to the gym. One friend grew to two, then three and sometimes more. We’ve been exploring various trails and changing our routine from time to time. Spending time in nature daily is a fun phenomenon in this time of social distancing....

Clutter is anything that you don’t use or no longer love. We all have clutter to some degree. In addition to physical possessions, mind chatter, nonbeneficial beliefs, old stories that bog you down, repetitive negative thought patterns and fears, are forms of clutter that slow you down. Releasing such things is freeing. You instantly feel better!  We talk about such patterns in Money Is an Energy Game and also provide tools and techniques to help you shift.

A friend recently pointed out that this is a book to read slowly, to absorb the information. It’s true. It’s not meant to be read like a novel. It’s the type of book that’s meant to be a resource that you turn to over and over. I know I do.

If you’ve read the book, we’d love your review! You can place it directly on Amazon (scroll to the bottom of the Amazon page to leave your review) or send it to Peg and Madeline via email. Thank you! We really appreciate it.

The change of season is a great time to fresh your front door and the entrance to your business. Your front door is the main mouth of chi. Clear away any remaining signs of summer and bring in new chi for the fall. Sweep the area, brush away cobwebs, wash the windows, vacuum the screens. Replace light bulbs too. They seem to have a habit of burning out shortly after it turns cold and dark. If your light bulbs are hard to reach, change them while the weather is still favorable. Fresh potted mums, pumpkins and gourds add some nice color and vibrancy at this time of year.
