Mercury Rx 2020
Wow I am actually a bit surprised that I have not written about Mercury retrograde on my blog. I know I have mentioned it briefly, but I know how skeptical people are about astrology so I limit my astro think pieces to a happy minimum. I am going to start writing about my experiences, lesson, and findings during each retrograde from now on. Retrogrades are a time to go within, to revaluate yourself, and your situation. This month the planet Mercury went retorade in the sign of Scorpio. When a planet goes Retrograde it means the planet will change its forward motion backwards. 7 planets experiencea brief time of retrograde. Mercury is associated with communication, technology, how information is shared, electronics, travel, and how thoughts are processed. So when this planet is going backwards astrologers advise many to backup electornics, make sure you re-read your messages before you send it off, get travel plans down/ dont travel, and hold off on announcing / launching anything new! Also, since Mercury is associated with communication it never fails that someone from the past pops back up and gets in contact with you! Below are tweets from my astrologer Danielle, @starsmoonandsun on Twitter, giving info on this Mercury retrograde in Scorpio.
During Mercury Rx, I make sure that I am cautious about what I say, put out on social media, and usually hold off on all travel and launches. I have experienced many different things during the Mercury Rx. I swear someone ALWAYS pops back up on me, an old coworker, a lover, an old elementary school friend. This month I have had some unexpected pop-ups, I have had car trouble (travel), and I have had the worst luck with IG this month. It is a time for reflection, and I will have to say that this retrograde has taught me to embrace my feelings more, not disregard what I am feeling or thinking. I also think it has taught me to say what I want, not bottle things up, and let people know what I want and how I feel. I hold grudges, and I am quick to cut people out when I feel hurt or things don’t go as I planned. This year I want to release the grudges that I have been holding. I also want to forgive others and move past the hurt I hold in.
10/10 recommend forgiving & letting go. I swear you will feel refreshed and serene. Life is short. Say what you want to say when you think it needs to be said! Love hard, unapologetically. Don’t be afraid to be alone to learn yourself; build a relationship with you. Think of Mercury Rx as a time to delve deep into yourself, the introverted side of you tucked away, or that needs more attention. Use this time to learn about you, prepare for mercury direct, and reflect on the past and present. Mercury will eventually go direct, and when it does, you will be prepared, mentally equipped & refreshed to take on anything and everything! Mercury goes direct on November 3rd. Mark your calendar!
Hope y’all take the time to log off social media, turn off the news, and protect your energy. I know these are crazy and unpredictable times, but try to take a couple of moments to breathe deeply, reflect, and be thankful for the now. Stay safe, stay true to yourself during this week and the couple of weeks that follow. The energy is going to be profound!
Always,
Jeané Tui
