Upcoming Mercury Retrograde Alert!
Posted by Shannon Cunningham on
Here is some advice for the upcoming weeks of Mercury Retrograde in Leo. Rowr!
Dates for the retrograde are July 18th-August 11th.
Problem: Communications get impacted, causing silly misunderstandings to occur. Because Mercury is in Leo, there is the potential for dramatic responses, especially if pride gets pricked.
⭐️
Solution: Make sure you are communicating yourself super clearly. It helps to write down what you want to say before you say it. Clarifying your thoughts by way of journalling is recommended for people when Mercury is in retrograde.
It's very important to be sure you have all the information. With Mercury in retrograde, you often do NOT have all the facts.
Problem: Technological communication gets screwed up too (big time) so our computers blow up or our phones die and important messages get lost in the ether never to be seen again...
⭐️
Solution: When working on an important document- back that puppy up! Don't leave your phone in your pocket when you go to the bathroom. Also, before getting pissed with someone for not responding to you, speak to them directly and ask them if they got your message! There is a good chance they didn't
Problem: I know some astrologers who refuse to travel while Mercury is Retrograde because the likelihood of cancelled flights or car problems is higher with zippy Mercury in lead boots. I often find myself traveling during Mercury Retrogrades and I will be again for this upcoming one! I'm careful to take certain precautions.
⭐️
Solution: Arrive early with your documentation copied and your boarding pass printed (yes, I said printed) and in hand. Take your car into the mechanic for a check up before you hit the road (we're doing this next week before we embark on our epic road trip). And pack a sandwich, because you don't need to be hangry when you're enduring delays...
Problem: Attention to finer details gets fuzzy when Mercury is in Retrograde which can be a problem when signing important contracts
⭐️
Solution: Read everything, including the fine print. Get another set of eyes on the contract. Ask your smart friend for a favour. Cross those t’s and dot those i’s!
Problem: Mercury rules the hands, so you might find yourself more "fumbly" when it's retrograde, dropping things and busting zippers
⭐️
Solution: Move at half speed when performing tasks with your hands. Make it a game with yourself to see how slowly you can do things like washing the dishes. Enjoy how clever your hands are and how wonderfully they can move.
A good motto during Mercury Retrograde is measure twice and cut once.
Strive for being responsive instead of being reactive. Give people the benefit of the doubt. And when you get the blue screen of death.... breathe deep!
