Mercury Retrograde!

From now until March 20 we are in what is called “Mercury Retrograde”. This is a three-week period where the planet Mercury appears to move in a backwards fashion across the sky. Mercury Retrograde occurs three times in a year. We will revisit the next Mercury Retrograde in July and again in November of this year.

It’s common to experience disruptions in communication (verbal and written), travel, and technology during Mercury Retrograde. This particular retrograde occurs in the sign of Pisces. Pisces is a very emotional and volatile sign in itself. Add a little Mercury Retrograde to the mix and you have the potential for explosive disruptions and meltdowns.

That being said, there is no reason to hide in a cave for the next three weeks to avoid conflicts and disruptions with people, places and things. Even though the thought has crossed my mind since I am very bear like in nature. LOL!

Keep tabs on your emotions and how you handle interactions with others. Double check your texts and emails you send to others. Communication is key to preventing meltdowns in relationships. The Devil is in the details! And boy does he like to jack with us during Mercury Retrograde season. Be on your game!

Make sure your mode of transportation is up to snuff before travelling. Gas, tires, oil! Check these things before you turn the key on. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Avoid major decisions and starting new projects. This is the perfect time to finish what you started.

Bee patient with yourself. Bee gentle with yourself. Don’t take life so damn seriously. This is a good time to do some self-reflection.

Crystals? Carry some amethyst, black tourmaline, and little sodalite. All three can keep you calm, cool and collected in your mind’s space. Think “Chill like Flint” for the next three weeks and you will come out shining like the crazy diamond you are!

May the Force bee with you! :)
