To You Who Are Thinking of Giving Up on Something Right Now - Nanako's Star Tales

Tomorrow, July 18th, Mercury will begin its retrograde motion in the sky.

Right now, Mercury feels like it is standing perfectly still in the room of Leo, within the disk of the 12 zodiac signs, preparing to change direction.

Have you been experiencing issues with your smartphone or PC,
emails or LINE messages not arriving, accidental sends, or malfunctions with electronic devices and home appliances?
Are there delays with trains or airplanes?

It is possible that the areas Mercury governs—communication, interaction, and travel—are being affected.

I am often affected by this too, so during this period, my engagement on Threads and note tends to be a bit sluggish, or I don't feel like writing, but...
today seems a little different.

I feel a bit spaced out, but
somehow the core of my mind is sharp. Rare, haha

And today, after talking with yukino-san, who runs my favorite natural stone accessory shop,
this message welled up, so I'm leaving it here.

To me, who is thinking of giving up on something right now,
to you, who are about to give up.

Is that really something you don't need right now?
Is that really something you want right now?

Listen closely to the voice of your heart.

Don't give up.

On yourself.

Trust your intuition.

Never let go of your own feelings.

That's what it says. (Speaking as if it's someone else's business)

I have been practicing listening to my own heart's voice lately,
in other words, I've been pampering myself, haha.
(Because I'm doing everything on my own, after all)

Yesterday, as a reward for going to early voting, I treated myself to a coffee shake.

Peace is something you create yourself.
Well then, I'm off to prepare dinner now.

I will continue to write about these intersections of stars and daily life
in a fun and interesting way.

Thank you for reading.
I wish you all a good night. 🌙
