Mercury in Retrograde - Be Mindful of your Energy and Actions

If your energy is feeling "a little off" or for those who are wondering why so much craziness is happening right now (even more than before)....Mercury is in retrograde. I don't always believe in this (I see crazy, wonky stuff happening no matter if a planet is in retrograde), but I do find it interesting and maybe more than coincidental right now???

Here's some different thoughts on this from different authors:

"We've all heard of Mercury Retrograde, but a quick recap on what it actually is: When a planet is retrograde, it appears to be moving backwards in the sky from our POV on Earth, and whatever area of life that planet represents becomes a little wonky and lopsided. Since Mercury governs communication, commerce, and travel, you can expect hella misunderstandings between you and your boo/squad/family/whoever and tons of missed texts/emails/phone calls. And you should definitely make sure you double-triple-check your schedule because your time management skills are really suffering."

"When Mercury is in Scorpio, an emotional, mysterious, and intense sign, you take on a more probing, psychological manner of thinking and communicating. This is great for studying or making deep, intimate connections with others, but remember, this retrograde is making everything more difficult. So that probing, psychological mindset might lead you to overthinking the tiniest little things!"

“Mercury will be retrograde until November 3rd, the day of the United States election. (Because the Universe has a wicked sense of humor).

Mercury governs communication, transportation, post offices, and our words. That's why it's so important now if you live in the United States to vote early if you can, and double-check your state's rules for your ballot.

Mercury will be retrograde in Scorpio, a sign that rules our shadow and everything buried beneath the surface including secrets.

This can be a time of tremendous healing if you are speaking your truth. If you have been hiding parts of yourself, it's time to share who you truly are.”
