Be not afraid, of Mercury Retrograde!

We are well into Mercury Retrograde right now, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the insight I'm gaining.

How about you?

This is often a time in astrology that puts people into fear mode, or blame mode, but in reality, it's a time of deep learning that not everyone is comfortable with.

So, I challenge you to this.......

Take a look at what signs you've been getting over the past couple of weeks, while we were in the set up phase of the retrograde.

What kept appearing for you? Did you keep having the same dreams, or were there themes in your thinking or experiences you were having?

In my own experience, I was seeing birds quite literally drop from the sky in front of me, or bounce off my car rooftop, people falling down in front of me. Instead of dismissing them, I've looked at them with interest, wondering what the significance of these recurring events could be.

We get signs just before a retrograde, about where we need to be making changes. And during the retrograde itself, those three weeks where Mercury appears to be going backwards, we should look at the broader view of our lives. What recurring cycles do we have in our life?

Is it crappy relationships?

Or unsatisfying jobs?

Is it self-sabotage or being taken a lend of?

It will be unique to you, but if it's a constant cycle and you cannot see why they keep happening, now is the time to start looking within. And the Universe wants you to do this to create some changes in your life, to meet your potential. And if you don't go looking, or you ignore the potential you have, it will keep at it, telling you in no uncertain terms that you're doing things wrong.

And this comes to you by way of the trickster, causing accidents to happen, technology going wrong, or booking holidays that end up being cancelled!

Avoid the trickster by acknowledging the signs you've been given, and go into your unconscious to see what's blocking your potential.

This retrograde is entirely in Gemini, and this sign is the student archetype, so it's the perfect time to be learning. But not just about duality, and how things might be black or white, but how life is actually a spectrum of colours, a rainbow. And we, as part of the Universe, are also a spectrum of colours. Our life is not simplistic, so look at the rainbow of your life and see where you're lacking colour. What's missing?

I, for one, will be spending a good amount of time in meditation over the coming weeks to explore all those darker shadows of my psyche and see if I can understand where I need to make change.

I urge you to do the same.

Mercury Retrograde is a fantastic opportunity to move forward, to understand your potential, and as we leave the retrograde on June 22nd, we can then begin to activate those changes, and you'll be armed with all the information you need to make them, confident that you are in tune with the Universe and your own soul potential.

Enjoy!
