You guys–wtf. This past weekend was not ok. Nazis are not ok. KKK is not ok. The alt-right is not ok. Why does there even need to be a reminder for people that hate is not ok and will not be tolerated in 2017? Did we not a have a war devoted to ending a Nazi rule? Last time I checked, those pieces of human garbage killed millions of people, and that’s the ultimate in not ok.

I actually think Mercury going retrograde in the sign of Virgo as of the 12th will help us to navigate these KKK infested waters deeper and better than we’ve ever had, and so desperately need to do. After WW2 (or anytime for that matter) there was no real facing of the deep segregation, racism, and bigotry in our own country, even after we liberated another country from theirs. There’s never been a time I can recall or look up in American history where we apologized to the Native Americans or African Americans for the systematic rape, genocide, and slavery of a whole people. Same goes for our Latino, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, LGBT, Women in general, Disabled, or any community that’s ever come to, already lived, or been brought here against their will–there has never been a time where we apologized, asked for forgiveness, and then put into REAL action ways to break the old system down to create a new one where all are truly equal, not just on paper or in thought. Mercury retrograde is all about re-working, re-vising, re-establishing, or re-doing anything that needs fixing up. It’s the perfect time to go into the past and see where our roots are tied to old, worn out ways of doing and thinking, allowing us to see where the issue is and then find a way to take action in removing it so it no longer proliferates in our life. This mercury retrograde is in the sign of Virgo, a beacon of service and healing, and she’s asking us to go within, look at where you’re mirroring what’s happening in this world, allowing, hatred, racism, bigotry or abuse to go unchecked in your own life (anything that makes us sick and unhealthy). Once you can see where this is occurring and find the root of where it started for you, then comes the ability to heal, but you must face the reality and the pain first.

The lunar eclipse we had last week in Aquarius gave us a chance to close a door on all the stagnant or outdated systems we’ve (or generational or country) put into place that keep us from fully showing up, while looking to establish a new way of living where everyone can come to the table as equals. We may be afforded this opportunity to face and heal our issues, both as people and a nation right, fucking, now. To do this we need enough of us to stand up and demand it be so, but that’s going to take white people being brave enough to make it a reality. I strongly believe it is our moral obligation as human beings to stand up to tyranny and hatred. As the people in power, it is white peoples duty to make sure every brother and sister in this land gets treated and given the same love, respect, and human rights we white people take for granted yet all deserve–NO EXCLUSIONS. The Aquarius lunar eclipse on the 7th said to us that it’s not enough to think or say it anymore, we MUST take action as the rebels with a cause and we MUST bring equal rights to and for the masses, while closing the door on doing things the old hate fueled way.

We are being given another opportunity with the solar eclipse next Monday, where a new doorway is opening, ushering us into a future we designed, hopefully for the better, and hopefully with everyone included. Leo season affords us the balls to make and take the changes needed and actually do something with it or bring it to the stage to be seen. Fire signs have a beautiful way of initiating new projects that fill us with passion while fine tuning our creative output. We are smack dab in the middle of eclipse season, so we’re at this pivitol point that demands we are present and actively working with the energy being offered so these changes can take place.

So how can we use the energy of this week to help us? My advice is this: Stand up for the rights of all people in this country, and state and take action loudly and clearly that hatred and bigotry will not be accepted. Be an actual ally and do something about the oppressive state of affairs in our country. It’s not enough to stand on the sidelines and watch this insanity go by. Get up, go out, and make a real difference in a community that needs our help or at the very least, don’t let racism, bigotry, or hatred go unchecked. That means facing your family, friends, or loved ones that are perpetrating these crimes and taking a stand. That means being out in public and shutting down some asshat who spouts racist shit to someone making her food, that accidentally got the order wrong. That means talking to your kids about the reality of our situation in this country; where it came from and why, and how we cannot repeat the atrocities of the past, or continue to allow them to happen in present day. That means being more devoted to a world that’s filled with equality and love than being afraid that your friend or mother doesn’t want to talk to you anymore because you called them out on their racist shit. We are looking at our legacy right now as a people and country. Do you really want to pass this hate to our kids for them to deal with because we’re to fragile to handle it? If not, do something about it. You’ve been looking for your clarion call to take the leadership position? Here it is, Lovelies, loud and clear. This week, take a stand. Our fellow human beings need us and we must answer the call <3

Go ahead and pick a card from above (pick one, two, or all three cards–pick what you’re drawn to). The stone you see in the picture is green apatite. Apatite is a dual-action stone, known for its positive use of personal power to achieve goals. It clears away confusion, apathy or negativity, then, stimulates the intellect to expand knowledge and truth, which may be used for personal growth or for the collective good. It is a Stone of Manifestation, promoting a humanitarian outlook and service to others. Green Apatite is a connection crystal of the heart. It communicates wisdom of the mind with the emotion of the heart, balancing one to the other, and is helpful in overcoming difficulties when bringing one’s vision to reality. Green Apatite stimulates the flow of energy on the physical plane and can be used as an abundance stone, for spiritual and financial manifestation, as well as connecting with the electromagnetic field of the planet. It allows one to replenish energy for the physical heart and to channel healing energies back to the Earth. Green Apatite may be green, yellow-green, or sea-green tinged with blue. The name Apatite is derived from a Greek word meaning “to deceive” because the variety of colors and formations in which this stone occurs makes it easy to mistake for other minerals. It may be yellow, blue, green, brown, gray or colorless, but the Apatite stones used for metaphysical purposes are primarily higher-quality crystal pieces in blue, green and gold. Apatite is the stone associated with animal conservation, because it is composed of the mineral phosphate that makes up the teeth and bones of all vertebrate animals, as well as their horns, antlers or tusks. Green Apatite is called “bones of the Earth” and is one of the best crystals used to heal the earth. If you’d like to learn more about this stone, please go here.

It is a sense of restlessness and boredom which has you feeling stuck in a rut. Are there issues from your past that are weighing on your present situation? If you are fearful or indifferent about making a change, you may continue to dwell in a state of denial. Perhaps you’re not seeing what is right there in front of you. You have a system of love and support in your life–how can you connect with this? Is there anything you’re taking for granted? Take a moment to meditate on the aspects of your life that you are truly grateful for. See the positive highlights, rather than focusing on the negativity. Additional Meanings: Disappointment • Apathy • Boredom • Letting your imagination get the best of you.

My hope for us this week is that we take a long hard look at what our legacy is. If you’re a white person, you know we inherited this genocide, rape, and slavery culture, and white people continue to run it as we speak–even if you feel like you have no parts or hand in it, it was still passed to us and it’s our moral obligation to face it and make it right the best we can. We can’t keep passing this hate filled legacy down, generation to generation for someone else to deal with. We have to deal with this now, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also for the health and well being of our people and country as a whole.

This is your week! make it an amazing one <3
