Dear Mars,
I sat down 10 minutes ago to write you this letter and was interrupted once again! I’ve been trying to write this post all morning. You are turning direct in exactly three minutes, and I’m waiting, counting down the seconds.
Everything is on hold! I can’t even write my blog post welcoming you back because there is no activity: no brain wave activity, no ideas, no momentum. This isn’t like me. I miss your razzmatazz. Are you sleeping, like my friend who said they slept all night last night and then continued to sleep all day today?
I wanted to let people know you are moving into direct motion a couple of hours before you turned so they could be prepared. I wanted to help them be ready. And although I awoke this morning with a great idea about comparing the moment to just before a race flag is lowered, it fizzled out when I couldn’t find any good photos to go with the post.
I thought it was a good analogy: engines revved, the flag comes down, the initiating force of acceleration and gear-shifting, the gathering of momentum until we reach full speed in the next few weeks. Good, right? Then full-stop. There I was, wheels spinning, rubber burning, but no traction.
So I thought, I’ll check the Harvard Business Review Management Tips and find one related to Mars to clarify this moment with a good case study. But there were no Mars related entries, only “Retaining Talent” and “Enduring the Trials of Entrepreneurship”. Good for a Venus day, or maybe a Saturn day, but not for you, Mars.
I successfully ran a project meeting this morning, your province, but that’s not to say things are moving along in the project. Yes, it was a lovely meeting, but outcomes?
And it’s not only me. My clients have reported stalled real estate deals, job offers going nowhere, tax information blocked, project plans averted, publishers dragging their feet, and general feelings of overwhelm and overload, with no energy to make any progress. We need you back!
Okay, it’s 12:20 PM EST. You resumed direct motion 11 minutes ago. Welcome back. These fireworks are for you. I’ll try to be patient while you come up to speed, but sooner rather than later would work for me. I’ve got a lot to get done!
Yours always,
Ellen

I woke up this morning feeling expectant, as if something good was going to happen. I, too, was waiting for fireworks that never appeared. However, I did get a little more forward-motion. It just isn’t happening on MY schedule. Hmmph!!

I know what you mean. Have things begun to move again? They seem to be moving for me and for the people I know.

Thanks, Lynn. Yeah, the planets and I often dialogue back and forth. We’re fast friends, you know. They know I love them unconditionally.
