Familiar yet intense emotions rise into awareness today and some may be challenging to handle. Fleet-footed Mercury delivers profound messages from our subconscious and, try as we might, we can't ignore them. Nevertheless, it's tempting to turn newly uncovered facts into dreams once the Moon enters imaginative Pisces at 11:11 am EST. Clinging to innocence only works so long; the sooner we acknowledge the negativity, the sooner we can overcome it.

Old memories bubble up to the surface accompanied by a bittersweet sense of nostalgia. Methodical Mercury is sending a message in a bottle from your 4th House of Family, inviting you to revisit a childhood insecurity or painful trauma. You may try to suppress these recollections today, but there's no denying their impact on who you are as a person. Be gentle with yourself during this period of soul-searching -- you'll be stronger for it afterwards. Your past never defines your future.

We came home from an event downtown ans I slept sitting up at my desk ever since. I woke up in time to talk to Mom in BC and that was about it. I fell asleep again, probably from a decided lack of coffee. I do need coffee to keep my metabolism up enough to stay awake and doing things.

Speaking of my list of things to do, I do have a list. I have two balsa wood projects on the go as well as the major repair work that needs to be done to the Santa Maria. The CATastrophe has broken all the masts and most of the upper spars while making a tangled mess of the rigging. Just thinking about it makes me wince with the complexity of it all. Still, it is something that needs to be done whether I like it or not. I have to summon up the necessary energy and brick up my forehead to get something happening soon.
