Mercury´s Whisper

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 14

The thirteenth day of the year dawned with a stillness that felt alive. Mercury was still in retrograde, its influence humming in the background like a quiet refrain. The man, aware of its presence, began his day with a deliberate pause, knowing that this was a time for reflection, not for rushing forward.

He brewed his tea slowly, letting the aroma fill the air as he sat at his altar. Mercury, the planet of communication, travel, and intellect, had often taught him the value of slowing down to revisit the past. As he lit his candle, he thought of the unfinished letters in his journal—words he had never sent, ideas he had never shared.

Today, he resolved to finish them.

One letter was to his younger self, offering wisdom he had gained since those uncertain days. Another was to someone who had once hurt him, not with anger but with compassion, releasing the weight of old wounds. The third was to the universe itself, a promise to stay open to the lessons of the year ahead.

In the afternoon, he walked to a familiar grove, carrying the letters in his hand. The lynx’s presence was a steady guide, her energy reminding him to tread carefully yet purposefully. At the grove, he folded the letters neatly and placed them in a small hollow beneath a tree. Lighting a piece of sage, he watched the smoke spiral upward, carrying his words into the vast unknown.

“Mercury reminds me to pause, to reflect, to revisit,” he whispered. “In stillness, I find clarity.”

That evening, he wrote in his journal:

“Today, I spoke to the past and released its hold on me. Mercury’s whisper is not a demand but an invitation—to look back, to mend, and to find the strength to move forward.”

The Calling

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 1 December 2024 arrived with a stillness that felt different to him. Born under the Sun of Aquarius, the Moon of Pisces, and the Rising fire of Sagittarius, he had always lived with a sensitivity to the subtle vibrations of the universe. But now, as the year turned toward its end, those vibrations became a quiet roar. He had always known his spiritual guide, the female lynx, as a watchful presence in his life—a creature of sharp vision and profound silence. In the waning days of December, her presence grew stronger. On the morning of the winter solstice, as the year began its slow exhale, he dreamt of her clearly for the first time in years. In the dream, the lynx stood atop a rocky outcrop, her golden eyes fixed on him. Around her, the stars of the night sky spun, their patterns forming images he knew but could not name. The wheel of the year turned in her eyes, and when she finally blinked, her voice entered his mind—not as words but as a knowing. “You must ...

The Gateway

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 2 The first dawn of 2025 broke quietly. The man sat cross-legged on a meditation mat by his window, the pale sunlight filtering through frost-covered glass. In his hands, he held a small journal—a new book for a new year. He wrote: “Day 1: The journey begins. I walk through the gateway of the year, uncertain but open.” His Rising Sagittarius urged him to step boldly into the unknown, but his Moon Pisces whispered of the need for compassion—for himself and the journey. He lit a candle, its flame steady in the quiet room, and offered a silent prayer to the elements. Earth for grounding. Air for clarity. Fire for transformation. Water for intuition. As the day unfolded, he took his first intentional step: a mindful walk in the woods near his home. The air was sharp with winter’s bite, but the trees stood tall and serene, their bare branches weaving patterns against the pale sky. It was here he felt her—the lynx. Though unseen, her presence was palpable, guiding h...
