! What does this mean? In a nutshell, it may seem as though life has become a train wreck. 
When mercury goes retrograde (which is does 3-4 times a year for 3-4 weeks), it looks as though it is going backwards in the sky. It has this energetic effect on us too. Of course, it’s an optical illusion since there is always forward momentum.
But, as people, we become susceptible to how it plays a game with us. Mercury rules communication. So, naturally, it has an ill-effect on communication of all kinds. Relationships are challenged. Co-operation at work becomes complicated (as if it wasn’t already!). Use of technology to communicate your message can create all kinds of mayhem in your life. But, as I said, it IS an optical illusion and you CAN continue to have momentum (just as mercury does during this time period) as long as you have a few understandings of this time!
Understand this:
1) Mercury in Retrograde asks that you slow down.
2) Mercury in Retrograde asks that you are clear on what you desire.
3) Mercury in Retrograde asks that you communicate with certainty and with compassion.
4) Mercury in Retrograde asks that you are patient.
During this time, mercury in retrograde asks all of the above and more you can Maintain Momentum during Mercury in Retrograde. Need more insight?

What great advice for anytime. Ask yourself to – slow down, be clear on what you desire, communicate with certainty and with compassion, be patient. Maybe the illusion is the reminder? Thanks.

Excellent post on Mercury Retrogade! Thank you for helping arm us with the awareness we need to go through it less scathed lol! It really helps me keep my head on my shoulders and not stress out about stuff as much knowing Mercury is in Retrograde, which is hard since it seems like it’s testing me. I just try to laugh stuff off by blaming everything on Mercury Retrograde and that helps alot. My husband and friends are doing it now too. I also try to have a mantra for each retrograde cycle – last one was “out with the old, in with the new”. Any suggestions for this cycle? The call sounds great! Signing up right now! 🙂

For me, Merc Rx is an invitation to do all those things that are described by “re-” words. Rethink. Renegotiate. Review. Revise. Recharge. Replenish. More a time to review and plan than to make new commitments or sign new contracts. I no longer fear Merc Rx; instead I slow down and relax.
Thanks for sharing this lovely article.
Blessings,
Sue

So glad to have this explained, Laura! It always seems like people use this time as an excuse and chance to blame something outside themselves for what is happening in their life. I love your tips on how to keep momentum going during this energetically challenging time!

Hi Laura. I have to admit, I had no clear idea of what “Mercury in retrograde” meant either, other than people blame it for technology snafus. Thanks for the examples and for offering to share your soul wisdom to pass through MIR with grace and ease.
