Breathe Of Heaven

From August 23 to September 15, 2023, Mercury Retrograde will arrive again. Here's what you need to know:

Mercury retrograde is notorious as a time of life-changing challenges and misunderstandings.

There's still a joke going around that it's best to stay home during Mercury Retrograde…to avoid traveling, avoid talking to people, stop taking on new projects, signing papers, and making decisions.

While there is some truth in this, there is a massive cultural superstition and prejudice pervasive about Mercury Retrograde…which is actually incredibly disheartening.

Astrology aims to shed light on the energetic influences that are occurring, so we can know what will happen and respond accordingly…and harness that energy to flourish. You can. Don't say, “Well, next month is going to be tough, too bad!”

Let's be honest…Mercury goes retrograde three to four times a year, so the whole “avoid people and stay indoors” approach isn't realistic.

Additionally, there are so many positives to Mercury Retrograde if you recognize its typical effects and consciously choose to make the most of this nearly month-long retrograde period.

Note that astrological influences like Mercury retrograde are based on the basic premise that each planet in the sky has a physical influence on us.

The positions, movements, and relationships of the planets to us influence everything from our personalities, moods, relationships, and even personal and world events.

In astrology, Mercury rules communication, intelligence, memory, self-expression, technology, and transportation.

Therefore, where Mercury is located in your birth chart reveals a lot about how you communicate, perceive, and relate to the world around you.

So what actually is Mercury Retrograde?

Mercury orbits the Sun at a faster speed than Earth, so several times a year Mercury catches up with Earth and overtakes us on our journey around the Sun.

When Mercury makes a pass, from our perspective it appears to slow down, come to a complete stop, and then retreat. This retrograde period is the retrograde period. Of course, it's not actually retrograde, it's just an optical illusion caused by Mercury passing Earth in its orbit between the Earth and the Sun.

Three times a year, Mercury passes through this orbit, and to us on Earth, Mercury appears to be retrograde, but astrology recognizes this as retrograde, and in Mercury retrograde there are approximately 3 Lasts for a week.

As a typical symbol, Mercury represents thought and communication, which is produced by thinking, writing, speaking, and teaching.

As mentioned above, mercury is also associated with travel, communication, and technology. So, the common belief is that when Mercury is retrograde (appears to be moving backwards), these areas of your life become retrograde, upside down, and in a state of disarray for about three weeks. That's what it means. good.

Mercury Retrograde definitely has a bad reputation.

Many people associate this retrograde period with communication mishaps, lost keys, technical challenges, travel delays, and electronic equipment failures. With a basic search, you can find a long list of things to avoid or things that may go wrong during this retrograde period.

Mercury retrograde – positive meaning?

Mercury Retrograde has a way of opening our eyes to things we previously couldn't really see, weren't willing to see, or were too busy to actually see.

This makes Mercury Retrograde a great time to reevaluate what you're doing. Rather than jumping into something new, it's perfect for finishing existing projects, refining and improving existing work, and uncovering solutions and innovations that previously felt stuck or stagnant. It's that time of year.

You may also find it easier to see things from a different perspective or from another person's point of view…or, during Mercury Retrograde, subconscious issues and patterns surface that need to be reviewed, pondered, and resolved. There may be.

Retrogrades are an opportunity to slow down and shift your focus inward. Yes, in some cases you may need to be particularly patient, as transportation, technology and communication processes may reveal problems or require a little more time.

But if you're open to the energy of Mercury Retrograde, this doesn't have to be a bad thing, and once you realize it's okay to slow down a little, be patient, and let things go, everything can be like a breath of fresh air. It could become something. Train yourself.

Sometimes breaking out of your normal routine (as Mercury may be your trigger) is the best way to refresh yourself, gain deeper understanding, or see things in a new way. It's a method.

Mercury retrograde can indicate the need to start over, fix, or change things completely. So instead of getting frustrated when you realize you need to rebuild something, think of it as an opportunity to create something even better than before.

Mercury retrograde and communication

On the communication front, some may tell you to stay indoors, unplug your cell phone, and avoid talking to anyone to limit communication problems that seem more likely to occur during Mercury Retrograde. yeah.

Communication can be more difficult during this time, but these sticky conversations usually have a purpose and can lead to breakthroughs, deeper insights, and more genuine relationship connections.

Repairing past conflicts, resolving misunderstandings, and resolving karma are all very real possibilities for powerful communication work that can occur during Mercury Retrograde.

It's also a good time to reflect on your own communication style and with others.

How can I communicate my meaning more lovingly while speaking my truth?

What does your inner voice or monologue sound like? Do you love and support yourself, or maybe the way you talk to yourself is an area that needs reassessment?

The key is to trust your intuition, be honest, and keep an open mind to make the most of communication opportunities during this time.

Remember that Mercury is not actually in retreat, it is just an illusion. Keep this in mind when things seem to be going backwards, such as communication, technology, and travel. It's all for a purpose, an opportunity to improve things, to complete something more fully, or to see things from a new perspective that you might have missed the first time, rather than backtracking.
