Mercury is in Retrograde. Listen, I never knew anything about planets and their movements until I moved to Los Angeles 11 years ago. No one had ever asked me for my birth time and place before, and I had no idea what a “Saturn Return” was until my friend told me it was why my boyfriend and I broke up, I had to move out of our house, and I got a new job--all within a few months when I was 29. I’m no expert on Mercury Retrograde, but I do know that according to the grande dame of astrology, Susan Miller, it affects “listening, speaking, learning, reading, editing, researching, negotiating, selling, buying … all formal contracts and agreements, important documents … as well as transportation, shipping, and travel.” It’s basically what you blame all your problems on, like when you dump soup all over yourself and break your nice bowl on the floor. |

Typically, Mercury retrogrades three times a year, but in 2022 we get it four times! What joy! I can’t lie: when the universe seemingly conspires against me, my fuse gets short and even downright explosive. However, welcoming the first retrograde of 2022 during Dry January has ushered in a sort of…Zen me? When that piping hot soup fell off the table and onto my lap and couch, I laughed. When I got my first piece of hate mail (still hope you’re having a great week, Melissa), I went back and pulled up all the amazing and kind words I’ve been sent (thanks Adam, Sue, Kerry, Adrian, and everyone else) and instantly felt better. When the cat threw up all over my counters, I considered it an opportunity to deep clean. Who am I?? |

I’m not sure I can credit this mellower version of myself solely on Dry January, but sobriety really is the catalyst that has led to better sleep, more effective exercise, clearer mornings, and apparently a lot more patience. I’m almost at the end of this journey and the other night my friend asked me, “What’s the first thing you’re going to do on February 1st?” I think he was expecting me to say, “pour myself a celebratory glass of champagne!” However, I like this version of myself and I think going forward I'm going to reserve alcohol for special occasions and weekends. And guess what? Mercury Retrograde ends February 3rd; I’ll cheers to that. -SARA |
