Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
What’s the expression, “zero to sixty” or is “full throttle?” As if someone turned on a light switch in the middle of the night—bam, the summer of 2013 is here.
My initial reaction to the arrival of summer is that it’s time for a little “R & R” (as in rest and relaxation.) Looking at the calendar with July 4th falling next Thursday, it seems logical that these next couple of weeks we’ll be sailing on smooth seas.
Being in the music business, I rarely experience logic as a guiding force behind my universe. In fact this week feels far from relaxing. I describe the energy as “WTF, how crazy is this?” I’m talking the kind of crazy you might experience if you treat yourself to the hilarious new Seth Rogan flick This Is The End.
Funny enough, a friend mentioned yesterday that the Astrological chart had changed—Mercury has apparently gone into retrograde. Dig on this…
Sometimes the other planets appear to be traveling backward through the zodiac; this is an illusion. We can this illusion retrograde motion.
Mercury’s retrograde periods can cause our plans to go awry. However, this is an excellent time to reflect on the past. Intuition is high during these periods, and coincidences can be extraordinary.
When Mercury is retrograde, remain flexible, allow time for extra travel, and avoid signing contracts. Review projects and plans at these times, but wait until Mercury is direct again to make any final decisions.
With summer plans gone kooky, crazy, emo, and cozmic, I found myself trying to remain flexible while digging through the crates, looking for songs to answer the question “how crazy all of this” really is!
WTF! Let’s enjoy!
