A retrograding planet Mercury has appeared, for the last time this calendar year. When Mercury retrogrades, all forms of communication are off kilter, to say the least. Snail mail, email, cell fone, home fone, speaking to others, speaking to yourself, and don't even think of signing a contract or wonder why negotiations are not going well. We can not put life off during the retrogrades, but forewarning will help ya navigate through it.
GPS for Mercury in Retrograde, maybe
Here with us since November 6th (or up to a week before) and expected to stay til after Thanksgiving holiday here is some food for thought and a possible strategy to get the most out of this cosmically induced situation comedy in our lives. So, this strategy, is it full proof--uhh no. Will there be a trial and error period where you may want to bring all things to a halt, of course. But will this strategy at least be a jumping off point for you to understand how energy is being warped and how to anticipate and almost plan for the unexpected, hopefully YES!
Part One: Self Completion
Often we place other things and people before all of our self related matters. So if you are a parent, a caregiver, a teacher or a caring spouse, during this retrograde, devote time to you and only you. A hard task, but since everyone else may misread your intentions and communications why not. Complete that draft of a book, take yourself out to dinner or the movies, or hey, even start that scarp-book project on your college days you have been putting off. Basically, work on anything that will help complete something that is only focused on you.
Part Two: Build Stronger Existing Bonds
Now, I am sure we all have said if we just had more hours in the day we would take some time out to spend with one of our siblings, or an elder family member, or a friend we haven't seen in upteen years. Well when Mercury retrogrades, we all can benefit by spending time strengthening those relationships that need repair, need tending, need mending, or just plain ole attention. Don't get so caught up in the how, identify those folks first and just simply ask for the right way to make those bonds that are meaningful in our lives even stronger.
Part Three: Harvest Gratitude
This is one of my favorite techniques when dealing with Mercury when it retrogrades. So since there are all kinds of things that can and will go awry, I sometimes sit in the mist of all the mayhem and say thank you. Thank you for the sun, the moon, the stars, loved ones, breath, and life. Somehow my gratitude injects some clemency from Mercury or some other place and my focus leaves what has messed up and begins to shift to all the blessings and gifts I have and will receive. It's really all about perception and where we lay our energy. So as harvest dawns, say THANK YOU no matter what.
Part, Whole or Activation
Now I don't think that these three things will solve all of our Mercury related troubles, but I do hope one of them or even a mere part of one will trigger within all of us the overcoming power we humans definitely possess with every cell we have, it's just about the activation phase. Hopefully this post will help us make great things happen.
