Astrology: Mercury Retrograde
Here we are again - Mercury Retrograde!
Many people hear this and start getting worried or freak out, and some others use this as a time to work with the energy, and flow a little differently. Some have no idea what it is. So let's break it down :)
- What is Mercury Retrograde: A time where it appears that Mercury is moving backwards in the sky from our view point on Earth.
- How often does this happen: Roughly every 3-4 months, lasting about 3 weeks each time (but there is also a "shadow period" of 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after).
- Each one has a different emotional + life theme depending on the zodiac.
- Common myths: "Everything will go wrong!", "Never do anything important during this time!", "It's bad luck!"
- Truths: Things will slow down so you can notice what needs fixing (missed emails, delays, tech hiccups = areas that need attention anyway), You can live your life - simply move consciously. It is a recalibration cycle.
- How to Work with Mercury Retrograde (as I type this it's 11:11! :)): Slow down, review goals and plans, clean physical and emotional clutter, reconnect with old ideas, journal, rest, double check details, leave early - sometimes there may be delays in traffic or travels, double check your communications. If angry - pause - do not send that email!
- Zodiac: This cycle is in Pisces and is working within Pisces energy (dreamy, creativity, universal love, intuition, spirituality, escapism). Learn more here: #Pisces Season 2026 Video
- Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: Asks us to journal, meditate, breathwork, energy clearing, dream tracking (I love this!!), spiritual study, reflection on old patterns. Feel into gut sensations, emotions rising, signs and synch's, dreams, intuitive nudges. Consider forgiveness work, letting go of old narratives, healing past relationships, clearing habits that drain your energy, energetic boundaries. Don't make decisions based on emotions alone. Review contract details a 2nd and 3rd time before signing. Pisces wants to heal the world, but if you feel drained after helping, that is your sign to pull back a bit and refill your own cup.
- Not interested working with the energy? No worries! Simply observe. This is the fun part and I've done this over many years. Observe the world around you during the next few weeks. Any tech issues? Any travel hiccups or delays? Any missing of the fine print? Any ex-friends or lovers call or text? Anyone in your world coming back to an arguement from a year ago? It's very interesting to play the role of observer!! :)
