I Will To Will Thy Will
On November 25th, Mercury stations retrograde at 22°, further increasing mental agitation and nebulous daydreaming. During this retrograde, the action planet, Mars is also slowling down in Leo preparing for his debilitating retrograde on Dec 6th. The two planets associated with speed are now spinning their wheels, and going nowhere fast.
This is a really good period to give over to this time, where the mind seems to be sinking into quicksand. The most fatal step one can make when trapped in the death grip of quicksand is to keep moving. This period from Nov 25th until Dec 5th, any quick solution or attempt to problem solve, may only bury you further. This is where optimistic faith steps in.
