Zodiac sign of Aquarius Gemini and Libra until our final bout with this transit arrives, dawned with earthly Capricorn ♑️ energy

Even if your not knowledgeable in astrology Eye’m pretty sure you have heard of “ Mercury retrograde” and you most likely cringed 😬 when awareness of it . But rest assured, these periods of time are not meant to give you anxiety or feared. Let me dissect what Mercury retrograde truly is, what it may spark, and ultimately, what you can expect.

What is Mercury retrograde?

Mercury is the planet of communication, and as the ruling planet for both Gemini and Virgo, it’s got a lot to say. Mercurial energy can be described as imaginative, chatty, and open-minded, and is a huge proponent of multitasking. Mercury rules our way of expressions, contract, technology contracts, and relation”Ships” of all kinds. When these aspects of our lives are affected by the optical illusion that is Mercury retrograde’s seemingly backward motion, we can experience glitches , miscommunication , delays . However, retrogrades are passages to bring us fruitful opportunities to let go of our need to control and, instead guide us to surrender taking the path of least resistance . If we are able to change our perspective and look at these obstacles as the opportunities they are, we will come out on the other side of the upcoming retrograde seasons better than we entered into them. Innerstand ? Definitely not so bad. Right ?

What are the effects of Mercury retrograde?

You will want to be aware of what you say, write, and sign on the dotted line for during these time periods. Keep your energy protected and meditation 🧘🏽‍♂️ is key to remaining balances and grounded. Make sure to keep clear communication, reading the fine print, and leaving 10 minutes early for all of your plans will only go so far. Truly, the message here is to go with the flow of life. Expect the unexpected, and shed compassion on yourself as much as you do upon others for your missteps and mistakes.

You may also be receiving texts, late ⏰ night calls, and out-of-the-blue DMs from karmic partners of your past . With everyone being forced to take a pause, you (and the people you’re connected to) may feel the urge to fill this newfound silence. Do not fall victim to the changing tides of Mercury retrograde; if you plan to pick back up with an old relationship or friendship, my advice is to wait until we’re in the clear from these murky retrograde waters. Remember: Anything that’s meant for you will never miss you. So if you truly want to give something a shot, wait until the Mercury retrograde period has passed to see whether or not your feelings are still intact or had just been a misconstrued mirage from Mercury’s backspin.

Unplug from social media, technology as much as you can, and try not to make it the only reliable means of communication during these time frames. Expect your cell service to glitch in -out, your laptop to die, and your car to have trouble starting. Plan accordingly!

Revisit old projects that you’re ready to finish, and remember how to get to where you’re going without needing your GPS. Rely on your inner guidance system.

Keep stepping forward! .You’ve got this!
