Retrograde — the word that breeds fear into many.
After all, it means losing more control of the little we have. Yes, the
universe has a certain way of ping-ponging the energies in our lives to keep us
on our toes, but none as aggravating as the one known as Mercury Retrograde.
Plus, when it is in Aquarius, the sign that rules technology, you can expect
this one to be one humdinger of a roller coaster ride that has no rhyme or
reason. However, is there cause to fear? Not if you’re prepared!
To circumvent the anguish that is Mercury Retrograde in
Aquarius, foolproof your life to make this calamity work for
you:
·
Ever dream of being off the grid? Make this your
chance, but do it staycation style. With Mercury ruling commuting, trips of any
sort can be plagued with misadventure. Best to kill it at home with candles,
books, your baby and a stockpile of snacks that can last you for days. Not only
effective in realigning your chi, but being a bit green during this cosmically
kooky time will score points in the world of karma.
·
Technology isn’t complete trash during this
time. In fact, social media accounts you’ve been off or video games you use to play
can have a renaissance now, as in logging in those old passwords and
rediscovering a world you’ve left behind.
·
Aquarius rules friendships and in honor of a
retrograde, be proactive by being the one to reach out to anyone from your past
you’ve been thinking of apologizing to or to reconnect. Whichever the motive, a
Mercury Retrograde is your rip-in-time to set relationships with history back
on track.
·
Stop and edit your masterpieces. Instead of
pushing to get past creative blocks, avoid anything new. Best to perfect what
you have. Retrograde periods are for tightening drums and discarding red
herrings. Yes, work with what you’ve got.
·
Allow yourself to be non-committal. The world
will be operating at wonk level and so no matter how hard you try to resist, it
won’t change. Be vague and explore. If you can avoid signing any dotted line until post-retrograde, then
you’ll be playing to win.
