I don’t know how much stock I put into the retrograde stuff, astrology wise. I love astrology, don’t get me wrong! But there’s something about knowing some of the astronomical science behind “retrograde” that makes me second guess some stuff. Regardless though, I love astrology!
I will say, that every single retrograde, I do feel different, and things do tend to go a little haywire for me. I don’t know if that’s psychological, coincidence, or fact, but it happens. This week has just been a total mess, and of course, Mercury retrograde is nearing its end, peaking in its last lengths.
I’m recovered though, mostly. And there’s good news in the works hopefully as well, so there’s that!
I’m seeking some advice, on another note. A family member who is close to me (my significant other) is deeply disturbed by my Paganism. It was expressed to me over the weekend how much so. And it’s a lot. Most of me says, screw that, it’s my religion and I’ve every right! Then another part of me says, do I make sacrifices for my other half? I don’t really know where to draw the line, where to make compromises. He says how much it disturbs him, but then he says he doesn’t want me to put my stuff away in boxes. Then he says, he does want me to stop, but he can’t make me, so he won’t. He says it scares him.
I tried suggesting that he do some of his own research on his own time, just to check it out. I have expressed what Paganism means to me and what I do, but he doesn’t seem to believe that I really know what I’m doing, I guess. He’s not religious either, so it’s a really odd situation. He never really said if he was going to do research or not, and most of me thinks he won’t because he already thinks he knows all about it. I really don’t know what to do. Has anyone gone through something similar? Any suggestions, tips, tricks? It’s certainly frustrating when the person you wish to spend the rest of your life with is disturbed by something so dear to your heart.
😦
To be clear, I truly love my husband. He’s my knight in shining armor, always has been. There’s a streak of selfishness within him that he struggles with on a daily basis though, and it has been tough to get through, leading me on several occasions to consider leaving the situation. But I stick around, because my love for him really is magnetic, it seems.
Till next time…
Love and Blessings,
