Mercury in Retrograde Scorpio edition 24th Oct -13th Nov

Okay Okay... lets chat about Mercury and Retrograde which is coming up and how you may notice is show up around you.. Let's step back in time first...

The planet that seems to get as much press and blame (almost as much as The Moon) is named after the Roman Messenger God, Mercury. It is generally associated with Communication and Transportation. Every year it goes through what is called a "Retrograde" period where it slows down which can give it the illusion of it moving backwards, 3-4 times a year. This will be the last one for the year, each of the 3 have fallen in water signs too which is interesting. Remembering water signs represent Emotions, so these retrogrades could have potential for significant emotional growth.

It is believed that when the planet moves in retrograde its positive aspects are then diminished. Many Astrologers believe this can cause or be the reason behind arguments, lost items, transportation delays or issues and the most well known, technological difficulties (computer, phone, network issues)

Obviously, you can't put life on hold during this time but if you do find that you have to do any of the following;

~ Signing contracts

~ Buying electronics or vehicles

~ Launching something BIG

~ Send a heated email or text

~ Booking travel arrangements and journeys

DO these as a MINIMAL - CHECK YOUR WORK, READ THE FINE PRINT, REFELCT NOT REACT and give everything a second thought before a final decision is made. Careful planning is recommended during this time. It's VITAL that you check the details twice, read the fine print and for the love of light have BACK UP PLAN especially for big trips.

AS it falls in Scorpio this round, Scorpio energy rules secrets, psychology and the subconscious mind. Expect hidden truths, past conversations and old flames to possibly return during this time, perhaps some unfinished business and healing to finally be able to close that door, remember with EASE and GRACE (as much as you may want to slam it, were going for the ZEN approach here)

Pre shadow period 4th October until Retrograde begins on 24th October, post shadow is from end of retrograde Nov 13th until 29th. So just tread easy until then.

Stay as cool as a cucumber, stay grounded, stay regulated how ever that may look for you. Yoga, sound healing, meditation, exercise, reading, breath work etc etc you get my drift,
