Mercury Retrograde often gets a bad rep. 

However, I’d like to challenge this perception by celebrating the opportunity that a Mercury Retrograde period can afford us.

Mercury retrograde is an ally, not an enemy, when we understand and partner with its energy. We can work with this energy in an intelligent manner, rather than halt activity, and give ourselves a boon!

This important period of “reverse energy” in the mental sphere offers an opportunity to look at our relationship to communication, the mind, and technology so we can do some energetic cleanup!

Here are a few ideas of how to engage this period and maximize the benefits.

1. Disengage from tech chatter. This is a prime period of time to examine your relationship to technology and step out of online groups, forums, social media, and other news or tech platforms that feel like a BRAIN DRAIN.

2. Relationship clean up. Has there been a misunderstanding or miscommunication with a friend or loved one in the past 4 months? Come clean and use non-violent communication to clear the static with this person, so you might repair the energetic tear in this relational field.
