The Past is Sticky

(Mercury retrograde, and MTP misses a week. Dispiace! The Sun squares Pluto.)

Generally, the broad spectrum of our personal issues traces to the past, in the form of sticky entanglements to traumatic experiences, unresolved circumstances, and other “ouchy” criteria.

While the past is sticky and binds us in the present (anxiety, depression, intimacy avoidance, etc.), it does not move. It is not immutable.

There are a number of interventions available to get unstuck. They will find you and need not be sought out.

What starts the unbinding is awareness that an issue is present. Closely following that, a choice to make a different choice.

In many cases, we cling to our past entanglements (and our pain) to keep some memory alive — out of love.

Perhaps after several years or even decades, we realize, “Wait a second, this isn’t working. There’s more out there for me.”

It is at this point, a different choice is made. A window opens, letting a fresh breeze of air in… in the form of movements towards those things that will unglue the bonds.

You are already free. Like a hot air balloon, once the anchoring ropes are cut, it rises high into the sky.

You have to be ready.
