Often times when we feel a lot is going wrong in our lives and that we can’t catch a break, we’re quick to joke that “Mercury must be going through retrograde” and then continue the attempt of taming the monster of chaos wreaking havoc in our lives.
Similar to how the full moon is notorious for reckless drivers and bringing out the crazies, Mercury in retrograde can disrupt interpersonal communication, transportation, decision making, and technology, so during these times its best to wait on buying that new car, starting that new business, or freaking out because your computer is acting up.
Because Mercury contains an enormous iron core, there is a belief that the iron disrupts our electromagnetic spectrums, and acts as a giant magnet of sorts, drawing out the things we have buried deep down inside. It may feel like our lives are falling apart, but what really is happening is the baggage and negative aspects we no longer need in our lives are being drawn out of us, freeing up space for things that will aid in our growth.
The best thing to do during this period is to take it easy on yourself, relax, and reflect on your goals and dreams.
The best thing about all of this? Not feeling like you’re losing your mind and going crazy, because trust me- everyone else is feeling the same exact way as you.
Mercury is in Gatorade until March 10th, and then will repeat the process twice more between June 18th-July 12th and October 14th-November 3rd.
