A Simple Spell to Sweeten Mercury Retrograde<\/h2>\n

by Sarah Bellum<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably all heard of it: Mercury retrograde. It seems to be a bit of a buzzword these days, and poor old Mercury gets blamed for many things when he turns retrograde. Much of this is a bad rap–Mercury does this around three times a year, so you\u2019d think that with it happening that often, we\u2019d be used to it by now! But no, we blame lost emails and broken relationships and late busses and pretty much everything else on poor old Mercury as he makes his obligatory journey backward through the skies. However, there are positive sides to this transit, and if you understand what these traits are, you can use them to your advantage to defy difficulties with Mercury\u2019s magic.<\/p>\n

\"Fear<\/p>\n

Many people approach the retrograde from a fear-based mindset. The first thing that you want to do to make the most of this magical time is to get rid of that. There\u2019s no need to fear something that is a natural part of life–and this retrograde is a natural part of Mercury\u2019s orbit. For one, this is a great time to focus on mental activities, using your mind to draw to you things that you want to see in your life. Because Mercury rules the thought process, it\u2019s a great time to rethink your priorities and focus only on what is most important to you. <\/p>\n

\"Thinking<\/p>\n

This transit is also one where you\u2019re likely to feel more receptive. Tune into that. Be more reflective when it comes to your thoughts, how people are treating you, and what your spirit is trying to tell you. Remember, actions always speak louder than words, so review carefully what is happening in your life, so that you can make plans to change what\u2019s not working for you. <\/p>\n

This is a time for looking at your responsibilities and rearranging them so that you are empowering yourself to live with reason and within your resources. Rely on your integrity, and pay attention to your intuition. So often we forget that the heart and the conscience are there as guides too, as well as the mercurial mind. Because you\u2019re likely to be thinking slower. you can take more time to resonate with what you truly want from your life. <\/p>\n
