As mercury enters it’s second retrograde along with Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto this year , it’s important to keep your head on straight. Whether you believe in astrology or not it doesn’t stop it’s effect on you. Expect intense emotional shifts, intro and retrospection to occur. Old lovers resurface, new lovers vanish. Retrogrades effect us all differently. Whatever happens, reversal of finances or loss of work with Jupiter, miscommunications and breakups with Mercury, remember everything is cyclical and temporary. Try not to make your situation worse. Avoid arguments, be extra careful with finances and extra forgiving of people, including yourself. If an intense emotion or retrospection comes upon you and causes guilt, sit with it and really reflect not deflect. Retrogrades tend to dredge up all the silt from the bottom of our emotional tanks. Write out what your feeling and literally pull it out of yourself, then burn it. Free your conscience. Apologize to anyone if need be. That’s the purge effect of a retrograde used in a good way. Remember everything happens for you, not to you. Even a job loss can be an opportunity to reassess and upgrade. A break up could be a blessing whether you do or don’t get back together. Choose a positive perspective of the upside down and you’ll be fine during these emotionally turbulent times. It’s like being in an aircraft when they say in case of loss of cabin pressure secure your mask first then help others. Learn how to surf the waves of a retrograde so that you can be a life jacket to others who are drowning. It’s like Alice in Wonderland during retrogrades and “We’re all mad here”, temporarily at least ;)
Wishing you strength and light. -Voodoo
