What a month we have had, only to be followed by a challenging month in December.
With retrograde Mercury and Jupiter playing ping pong in the heavens it is now wonder our live are being challenged in all directions.
Please people be aware of legal problem, look after your safety and most important avoid any knee jerk reaction to issues that arise. Legally read the small print and do not trust word of mouth and empty promises.
The Moon our emotional planet is also a problem as it is travelling out of the boundary of the ecliptic. Emotionally it will be difficult to hold in our emotions, this will be everyone, so try to be understanding to those who show they are emotionally distressed. With this Lunar energy emotional problems will come out in the open as people will not be able to hide their turmoil.
This is good thing because when you are able to see and be open about you emotional and mental health, you can do something about it. Your family and friends will get a better understanding of what is triggering you and reach out to help you.
You too may be feeling excessively sensitive and emotional, see this in yourself and recognize it in others. This way we can all be more gentle with each other aw are all dealing with emotional ups and downs.
Pluto has re-entered Aquarius, This is on one hand a good thing as we will become more aware of how our toxic collective energy needs to change. We can see the truth of how we are destroying our planet; I have already noticed documentaries showing us how destructive mass spending and buying is to the environment. This throw away word is slowly destroying us.
AI is taking hold and in some cases a great innovation in other rather frightening. I do believe we need to follow Saturn and the sign he is transiting through to get the full story of Pluto. For now with Saturn in Pisces, we are alerted to how a lack of discipline and boundaries is polluting us and our environment.
Mars is in his station, so not moving, action planets Mercury and Mars both hardly moving as the change direction is certainly a reason for exhaustion. Mare is in Leo a sign that loves to be creative and lead. As he retrogrades in this sign we can reflect on our own leadership skills. It is important to notice how we love others, we need to love ourselves unconditionally first, then we will be able to love others.
All in all, December is a great month to just chill and reflect on what has past, take the good lessons and let go of unwanted baggage, love yourself enough to do this.
MEDICALLY SPEAKING
It is hot, we are tired and some of us are doing what we think is the healthy option by drinking way too much water, strictly adhering to low sodium diets and in many cases sweating more than usual
These factors can lower the sodium levels in your body, severe cases this leads to hyponatremia, which affect mostly the brain. Fatigue, loss of mental capacity, cramping and nausea are some of the factors ranging from an underlying medical condition, over sweating, to drinking too much water. This will cause the sodium in your body to become diluted. When this happens, your body’s water levels rise, and your cells begin to swell. This swelling can cause many health problems, from mild to life-threatening.
This is a good time to supplement your diet with electrolytes, not sugar and caffeine energy drinks, simply add sugar free electrolytes to your drinking water, this is the most natural way to just give your body and brain the boost it needs.
Happy holidays to you all!
