Harness the retrograde energy
For those of you who are down with the woo…
It is Mercury retrograde time!!!!
For all of those who know what this is…. As of August 23, you are ready with your back up batteries, you signed up for AAA, and you made sure to push all your important appointments past September 15.
For those of you who don’t know, welcome to this episode of your life where things are about to get a little…interesting. (And I say that with love.)
Mercury retrograde in astrology is an event that happens 3 times a year when the planet Mercury appears to be going backwards in the sky (even though it really isn’t and it’s really Earth’s rotation in relationship to Mercury that is different).
Either way, we are affected because Mercury is the planet that influences communication, technology, travel, and our minds.
SOOO if the planet of all this is stalling a little… best believe things are about to get a little cray-cray in these areas.
This is not to scare you!
It’s to warn you…
Just kidding, it isn’t for that either!
It’s to guide you! 😘
Mercury retrograde is the perfect time to slow down.
Take a little lesson from nature and RElax a little. As summer turns into fall and nature starts changing, this process takes time and is a shift.
Follow the universal energies right now.
If an entire planet can go REtrograde and decide to stall a bit, you best believe its time for you to also REalign, REflect, REfine, REcalibrate, and REconsider.
That’s where the opportunity lies here… while you wait for your internet to stop sucking for the fifteenth time today— I know, the tech glitches can indeed suck.
Anywho, Mercury retrograde forces you to slow down. And not mention Mercury is in the BEST SIGN EVER of Virgo (Not biased or anything at all I promise!)
Virgo is the sign of grounded intentions paired with the dedication to make their goals manifest.
Virgo is adaptable to changes and creates new goals whenever change is needed.
Virgo is very concerned with health, our bodies and what we need to do to change and shift to be better.
Virgo is never stuck, it is the sign of synthesizing information to determine the next best course of action.
Virgo is the sign of planning- This sign makes plans light years in advance and will STILL be able to flexible if anything changes about them and then create a whole other plan— all in like 3 minutes.
Virgo is a hard worker who loves to practice to sharpen it’s understanding of something- It wants to master it’s craft, whatever that craft is.
SOOO we have a planetary retrograde in the style of Virgo, what does that mean?
Consider taking some time to REflect and get to know your body, learn its language and understand what needs to change to feel better.
Consider taking all the information you currently know, and REassess your next step in life (especially helpful if you’ve felt stuck lately).
Consider using this REflection time to ponder your latest efforts and how you can improve.
REpeat practice after practice of whatever craft, talent, skill you want to master.
Consider REmediating to fix a system in your life that is just not working.
GET STARTED→ with some questions that may be helpful during this time to journal about:
What do I need to do to take better care of my body? What do I need to do to develop a better relationship with my body? What is it communicating to me?
Where do I feel stuck? What are some steps I’ve taken that have helped me move forward and what are ones that did not?
What is it I want to achieve? What is my next logical step towards this?
What daily practices do I have in place that no longer help me? What are daily habits I do that are actually helpful? Should I change any of these?
What do I want to get REALLY good at? How can I do that and break it down into steps? How can I make sure I practice it every day?
I am wishing you all a fabulous Mercury retrograde, and please have patience with any tech glitches, communication mishaps, and setbacks in travel.
As communication is written as well, triple check fine print on any contract you sign, and conscious with any important conversations you have.
Love ya’ll!
