Mercury retrograde is BACK!
Here’s what you should know:
💫 When a planet is “retrograde,” it means that it’s lapping the Earth in its journey around the Sun! This makes the planet appear to be moving backwards in the sky, and is a time when its energy isn’t as strong— operating in a more subdued, inverted way. We then face reflection, introspection, and potential challenges when it comes to that planet’s themes.
🔭 Retrogrades are the perfect time to “redo!” The prefix “re” is associated with going backwards (or going back in time), so it really is a chance to heal any issues or lingering situations from the past!
🗓️ Mercury (the planet of technology, transportation, and communication) will be retrograde from 9/11 to 29/11. Here are some crystal companions to help you feel a little less frazzled:
💚 Moss Agate— has a lower vibrational frequency that’s attuned to the energy of Earth, making it easier to slow down, be calm, and feel balanced.
💜 Fluorite— helps with mental acuity, clarity, + discernment, and is the best crystal to overcome any form of disorganization!
💙 Chrysocolla— works with both the heart and throat chakras, allowing us to share wisdom + speak freely from the voice of our “higher self.”
💜 Pyrite— protects against any physical harm or danger, so it’s the perfect crystal to keep a little piece in your car!
💙 Howlite— honing the element of air’s ability to shift + flow, it brings patience, focus, and a clear vision to your headspace.
💚 Prehnite— brings soul-nourishing inspiration, while generating a connection between self love and self confidence!
🗓️ Important to know: there is a 2 week “shadow period” where the planet is still gaining its strength back, so we won’t feel the full effects of Mercury’s energy again until mid-to-late December!
