This blog entry is being repeated because
we have just entered a retrograde and I would much rather see everyone
plan ahead day by day, rather than panic and make things worse for
themselves.
From June 7 to July 2, 2014, the
planet Mercury is in retrograde motion. That usually strikes fear in
normally rational individuals because someone told them that we were in
“mercury retrograde” and that somehow is negative.
Mercury is the planet governing communication, transportation and
truth. When it is in “retrograde” it’s movement appears to be streaming
backward in the skies, and that backward intention affects all forms of
communication: whether that be via computer or person to person. Just
because there are more misunderstandings and bad judgment calls made
during Mercury Retrograde periods than any other time, does not mean
that Mercury is singularly responsible. I am beginning to suspect an
uncomfortable pattern. By the very virtue of the Universal Law of
Attraction, many people are actually encouraging the frustration
experienced during this time, rather than working with the blessings and
magic of it.
We don’t have negative planets; we have
negative people who use the planets as a great excuse for negative
thinking, and in some cases, even negative behavior. So let’s clear the
decks and get a better understanding of this phenomena and how best to
flow with it.
- Unless it involves something already in the works, avoid signing new
contracts or any other important agreement papers while Mercury is
Retrograde.
- Back up your computer files regularly because Mercury wreaks havoc
with any form of technology, whether that is a computer or a toaster
oven.
- Avoid travel, and if you can’t, then give yourself a lot of extra
time and confirm your itinerary several times and check all
reservations.
- Be extra mindful of your words. Be clear and concise about what you
are conveying and don’t take things to a personal level. Even the most
innocent requests can take on total miscommunication.
The late spiritual writer and teacher,
Vernon Howard said, “What gets your attention gets you!” And that is
very much like the Law of Attraction. If you focus too long on the
negative you will soon find yourself connecting with more of that until
you are drained of positive energy. Don’t do that to yourself and never
allow anyone else to influence you in that way.
Some suggested activities when Mercury is
in Retrograde: editing, revising, reviewing, research, relaxing, and
regrouping. Also, cleaning out clutter, organizing and catching up on
paperwork are highly favored during this time. Above all, remember that
this is a magical time to reconnect with the past while revisiting
abandoned projects and renewing old relationships.
Have a magical retrograde!
