There’s a trick I use with myself when Mercury is backwards, and it’s a simple way to fool myself into thinking I got a lot accomplished — I look back and figure I did a lot even though not much was done. I know when the planets are in evil disarray, just like right now, there’s just not a lot of hope. And I’m a good enough astrologer to know that I shouldn’t be undertaking any new projects.
I pounded out some slick new artwork for the updated pages I’m working on, and looking at it, I’m halfway done with my favorite sign, Scorpio, so tasks at hand are moving at a goodly pace. But it seems like time is crawling right now. It’s Mercury. What did I do that was exciting? A hike around the lake? The best news was fishing a note, and it wasn’t a form letter, out of the office mailbag — a major publication is at least looking at carrying an astrology column by me. It just goes to show that the biggest problem with astrology is astrologers.
