Somebody Has To Say It: Our Lifestyle Choices Show Up Earlier Than You Think

Delving in a bit to what these girls are saying, especially what they're saying that felt personal to me, was about the Cancer Moon with a Mercury retrograde situation that would be bringing up the past.

That's what retrograde does, but apparently with this Cancer Moon influence.

It was presented as like your past is going to resurface and that's cool.

Now's the time to take a look.

You know, like get some clarity on what is coming up for you.

Examine it in the light of what you know to be true today.

And like this examination might be a little uncomfortable, but ultimately healing.

Like they're saying this isn't the time to be trying to make it work with your ex.

It's the time to examine why it didn't work with your ex.

So don't be acting like the old you.

Keep your wits about you and you'll have the opportunity to be a more evolved you interacting with an old chapter.

Right.

Like you get it.

And I was thinking of it as like if an ex showed up, that wasn't a sign to get back together.

It was a sign to look at what my life was like when we were together and and what it's like now, and, you know, compare and contrast.

And I thought, oh, okay.

It's good.

I can do that.

Because I'm thinking, like, some dumb old boyfriend's going to surface, and I'm going to be like, yeah, that guy is an idiot.

I was super smart to get out of there.

Like, yay me.

You know, not even tempted in the slightest to go back to that noise.

And then...

Mercury retrograde was like, what if it's not that at all, friend? What if it's stuff that's actually tough? Like, let me throw a few unexpected twists in there for you.
