Mercury Retrograde – How are you feeling about it?
So, Mercury Retrograde…sigh…Ooo! HurryHurry! Get the contracts done, get the car repaired, get the this, that and the other all done before Mercury Retrograde gets here! Everything’s gonna be gaflooey when it gets here! Ooo! And there’s the lead-up to it, and the wind-down after it, so the listed time period for it is actually extended on both ends of it!
Eeeek! Oooo! (“Scary!”)
Well nuts to that!
I’ve been all up in that run-around, fear-based mentality. I honestly wonder if all the calamity and ballyhoo ascribed to Mercury Retrograde (the name is like a planetary/astrological Moldyvort or somesuch, nowadays!) aren’t so much hogwash and propaganda to harvest negative energy from the population.
So let’s think about this and maybe deconstruct some of the fear-scaffolding.
Who created Mercury in the first place?
Who created Mercury to have a particular orbit around the sun, as well as the other planets?
Do you think that maybe that Creator might have known what They were doing when They created all that neat stuff? They certainly did a pretty good job on the miracle and wonder of the human body! I think They also did us a solid when they created Cacao beans! And kittens! (but don’t eat those 😀 )
So if Source created Mercury and was having it go retrograde, maybe…just maybe…it was originally intended for our highest good…?
Maybe, (and I’m not an astrologer, I don’t pretend to be one and I don’t play one on tv) just maybe, it was intended to be a reminder to have some mindful practices about the topics that Mercury covers.
Ya know, like in the past some folks would divide up their weekly chores among the days of the week –
“Wash on Monday, Iron on Tuesday, Mend on Wednesday, Churn on Thursday, Clean on Friday, Bake on Saturday, Rest on Sunday.” -Laura Ingalls
And every time a planet goes retrograde, instead of side-eyeing it with fear and loathing (which isn’t doing any wonders for positive manifestation for us), we instead slow down a little and think with mindfulness and deliberation about the contracts, about the car care, about how and why and with who we communicate?
Now, if you ascribe to a different, or complementary belief system or practice, and there are certain auspicious days/areas/planetary alignments, and it works for you, great!
But I’m just saying, the fear has got to go. The negative vibe state has got to go. Take a deep breath, remind yourself that you are a unique expression of Source, and just like the body supports the wellbeing of the whole, including all the parts of it, Source and Creation supports the wellbeing of the whole, including all the unique expressions of Source that They created.
We were not created to live in a fear state or a negative energy vibe.
You are at all times thought of and surrounded with LOVE. You are considered a Soul-Spark of Source.
How would Source view and make the best use of a Mercury Retrograde?
