Here we are again, beginning another Mercury Retrograde cycle. Perhaps you remember the Mercury Retrograde cycle of December 13, 2023 through January 1, 2024. Remember how difficult communication was and how trying to keep yourself reasonably scheduled was really a challenge? Remember how misunderstandings "just happened?" Well, take in a deep breath of air and count to 10..
Just to refresh your memory, a Mercury Retrograde cycle is when the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in its orbit. It doesn't really shift and go in reverse, it only appears to move backwards or slow down as one of the other planets speeds past it.
And just like every action in the Universe, it has a reaction. And the reaction during this cycle is that the human race has trouble communicating and getting the point across as well as difficulty listening and remembering. Plus, there are misunderstandings, schedule changes, short tempers, irritability, general nervousness, and temporarily misplacing items.
There are benefits from a Mercury Retrograde cycle, benefits that we may not see until after Mercury goes Direct. And those benefits are, #1, that we become more introverted, searching our hearts and minds for sabotaging habits and thoughts. #2, we rethink our experiences and come upon the truth of them, thereby defeating anxiety or fear or a misconception. #3, we review our goals and our path to achieving them. And, #4, we often finish a project that we have not been able to get back to until now.
I give you a few words of caution: misunderstandings are rampant during this 3+ week period and we change our mind about some of our decisions, usually more than once. Becaue we change our minds about something (s), it is best to avoid making major purchases, signing contracts or making commitments during a Mercury Retrograde cycle. And because there are misunderstandings, it is wise to wait on getting a health screening of some kind, if you can wait. Sometimes something is seen that isn't there and vice versa.
And remember what happened April 1st - 25th, 2024? You'll experience about the same things this Retrograde cycle. Remember, a Mercury Retrograde cycle, as well as all the other Retrogade cycles are for your growth!
