The next retrograde begins on August 23rd and we want to make sure you are covered during this uncertain time. You've probably heard the term thrown around in conversations, social media posts, or even seen it as a trendy hashtag. But what exactly is Mercury Retrograde, and why does it evoke such a mix of curiosity, caution, and a dash of dread? Moonglow has you covered to help you understand this celestial phenomenon and explore the mysterious effects during this time.
Mercury Retrograde is an astrological occurrence when the planet Mercury appears to move backward in its orbit. From an earthly perspective, it creates an illusion of Mercury's reversal, affecting the flow of communication, technology, travel, and decision-making. It typically happens three to four times a year for approximately three weeks each time.
How to Navigate the Retrograde:
Communication: Pay extra attention to your words, emails, and text messages. Be clear, concise, and avoid making assumptions. Take the time to listen actively and seek clarification when needed.
Technology and Travel: Expect glitches, delays, and unforeseen challenges. Backup your data, double-check your travel plans, and give yourself extra time to navigate through any hiccups that may arise.
Self-Reflection: Take this time to reflect on your goals, relationships, and personal growth. Revisit unfinished projects or reconnect with long-lost friends.
Slow Down and Be Mindful: Mercury Retrograde reminds us to slow down, breathe, and be present. Embrace this opportunity to take care of yourself, practice mindfulness, and tune in to your intuition.
We have created the Mercury Retrograde bracelet to help you embrace these challenges through the next 3 weeks. Wear your bracelet as a reminder to be patient with yourself and slow down to be more mindful as you move through any challenges that arise during the retrograde. Embrace this time of self reflection and awareness. Take a deep breath and trust that you are moving towards greater clarity and understanding.
