Surviving Mercury RX
If you have not seen the post yet Mercury is in micro-braids. And if you don’t know astrology, you may be confused as to what this may mean and some of you may be ready to go hide. But Mercury isn’t all doom and gloom. All planets come with gifts and lessons. A retrograde is a way for the planet to make sure you are doing your due diligence in order to manifest the life you want. And sometimes that means a breakdown needs to happen so that you stay on your toes.
This phenomenon in particular is know to increase opportunities for miscommunication. Mercury rules communication, movement, siblings, technology, transportations, vehicles, and information.
Keeping track of Mercury retrograde periods can allow you to increase your productivity and avoid at least some of the frustration they can bring about. Here are some tips on how to stay grounded during this season from some of our trusted astrologer!
Tips from Praxie Osong:
Mercury in retrograde does not have to be this bad omen everyone makes it out to be. Yes, there are increased opportunities for miscommunication. Yes, there are possibilities that tech breaks down and mistakes are made.
What is also possible is the opportunity to readjust the way you receive and process information coming to you. It is a chance to humble yourself and remove preconceived notions and take on new meanings. With Mercury home in Gemini we're thriving in curiosity. There is so much to take in and we have the speed to do it.
When this slow down (retrograde) happens the energy is asking you to switch it up. I mean it's Gemini our mutable air. Don't stay stagnant in your ways of understanding. Relearn things. You don't have to 'do' anything more than that. You don't have to make decisions just yet. You don't have to overburden yourself in anyway. Change your views, look for alternatives, explore foreign concepts.
When we come out of retrograde with new approaches. We'll be able to take what we've experienced and practically apply our new perspectives towards all the opportunities we've sat on. It's a chance to renew our minds and refresh our outlook.
