Proactive Tips and Tricks for Mercury Retrograde
Hello out there! It’s Erin Frye from TBH Magic back again to share what’s going on this week with the plants and planets.
Typically I share things that are happening as we speak, or are that are just about to happen astrologically. We’ve talked about Gemini Season, as well as Venus Retrograde so far. But this week...we’re working a little in advance. Why? Because the often feared and frequently misunderstood Mercury Retrograde returns in mid-June! So, I’ve decided to be VERY proactive and write this post a few weeks in advance so nothing goes awry.
Let me tell you why!
Mercury goes retrograde several times every year. You would think that operating within its energy that often, we would begin to get used to it and know how to deal. But alas, time and again, Mercury Retrograde manages to knock us off our rockers.
Mercury rules Gemini, so think about the Gemini people you know. What comes to mind? Chances are...lots of WORDS. Mercury rules Gemini and c-o-m-m-u-n-i-c-a-t-i-o-n.
And like we learned before, when a planet is “Retrograde” that simply means that it appears to be moving backwards through our skies.
With all of that to say, our communication is going to feel, well, a little backwards, from June 18th till July 12th.
Specifically, look out for:
Minor Car Troubles
Internet Issues
Texting Snafus
Past Issues
