How To Survive Mercury Retrograde And The Full Moon

 

Hello Friends,

This is a really interesting time astrologically. Mercury retrograde is looming in the air. As I write this we are in the pre-shadow phase.  While the retrograde actually starts on December third you may be feeling the effects now.

This pre-shadow phase usually only has a great effect on those with heavy mercury in their charts. This particular one, however, is likely to affect us all.

You may find yourself feeling angry or frustrated more easily than usual. Perhaps holding on to grudges, or having a shorter fuse than usual.

Try to remember to breathe, this is not the time for a confrontation. Don’t allow toxic negative energy to build inside you. Remember to cleanse and take care of yourself emotionally and energetically.

The beginning of Mercury Retrograde also coincides with a full moon.  The moon is all about subconscious emotions and desires. You may feel more emotional than usual, or be plagued with thoughts and memories of the past.

Another side note about this full moon is that it will cast a light on things revealing what’s been hidden. Secrets, hidden feelings and desires will be brought out in the open at this time.

Because this is happening during Mercury Retrograde you must really be cautious about your words and actions. This is a time when communication is often muddled and misunderstood. Now we are adding a big ass secret revealing full moon to the party. Oh, and we just got through an anger-inducing shadow phase lol.

I think we could all use some good news right now,

Firstly the moon is great for manifesting and setting your intentions. This one may help you understand yourself better. Use meditation to get in tune with your true self. Knowing what you REALLY want will help you actually get it.

This is the perfect excuse to slow down your pace. Think about what you want to say, how you want your message to come across. Don’t push yourself. Take some me time for self-reflection. Now I know you are saying “Is this Bish cray cray?” I am well aware that the holiday season is upon us. And this retrograde runs right through most of it (until 12/22).

It is really important to make thoughtful deliberate decisions. Don’t let your plate get too full. Don’t neglect self-care.

I feel understanding what’s going on astrologically helps us feel more powerful and in control of our lives. I hope this post will give you some hope and inspiration to glide through the next 30 days.

Is Your Lifee Being Affected By Mercury Retrograde?

 

Is your life being affected by mercury retrograde

 

Hi Everybody,

Do you  feel like everything has been going haywire for the last few weeks? Perhaps you’ve experienced misunderstandings in communications, or things not going as planned. Well there is a pretty good explanation for that and it’s called Mercury Retrograde. The good news it that it only lasts for about three weeks, the bad news is that it happens several times a year.

So. . . what the heck is Mercury Retrograde anyway? Well its basically when the planet mercury appears to be going backwards in the sky( though it really isn’t). This happens with other planets as well, but mercury is the biggest trouble maker.

Each planet in the sky represents some aspect of our lives. Mercury is the planet of communication.  During this time period expect misunderstandings, miscommunications, misinterpretations, possible arguments, and hurt feelings. So if you are planning on having a difficult conversation you may want to wait.

This is also a time when event’s and and plans can also go poorly partially because of all the miscommunications.  So best not to make big plans, or purchases . I moved during a Mercury Retrograde and it was awful lol. Don’t worry I will list below all of the Mercury Retrogrades for this year.

1/5/16-1/25/16

4/8/16-5/22/16

8/30/16-9/22/16

12/19/16-1/8/17

Their is a bright side to Mercury Retrograde. If things for you have been stagnant for a time this energy cat test to get things moving in a positive direction. So it’s not all bad 🙂

So when you are going through a Mercury Retrograde remember these things:

  • Don’t make major plans, or have major conversations
  • Be clear, think before you speak
  • Dot your i’s and cross your t’s
  • Try to keep calm

One last thing to consider is that Mercury retrograde affects different people in different ways. Some people feel the effects a bit earlier, and if you are a Virgo or a Gemini you may feel things even more intensely. Mercury is the ruling  planet for those two signs.
