â Mercury Retrograde: what is the lessonââťď¸âŞ
This retrograde is prompting us to drop down into the heart space. There is a need for balance & alignment with our masculine & feminine side, as well as not allowing the fear of being vulnerable to come in conflict with how you receive from what the universe is preparing you for. Don't allow your desire for control to cause towers that will reveal much about what needs to be fixed in & around you. It's a time where you are wanting to go toward the best for yourself & are no longer accepting anything less. There may seem to be some delays at this time & you are focused on adjusting to it, but you're also determined to stride forward through what feels like a confusing or illusionary time for you. You're searching for what is fulfilling in your life & you're moving away from what isn't serving your highest good. The heart chakra is of much focus now; hone into that area of your being & feel if you're truly content where you are right now, & if not, bring focus on what you have to do to change it. This will be as good a time as any to get better acquainted with yourself & determine if what you're exposed to is something that isn't an illusion to hidden things you aren't paying attention to or chose not to see. It is best not to fight against your emotions or vulnerability, for this is a time to really confront the things that are hidden to you, or what you choose to hide from.
â: you're feeling confident in building a foundation for yourself & you're being gifted for all of the hardships you may have gone through. Whether it is a new job, investment, or even a commitment, it is being revealed to you as you come into your greater understanding of what you are here to do/learn. There may still be a bit of a waiting period for you to be able to establish the seeds you've planted, & for some there could be a wobble in your faith. You could be tempted to revert back into the cycle of stagnancy by reliving lessons that you believed you understood already. You could be unsure of your progress because of how you continue to be back & forth when it comes to your growth & healing, but you could be experiencing tower moment-sized lessons which could be messing with your balance. It's important to remind yourself that you will be tested at this time (especially with mercury moving through your sign), though to not be enamored by things you can't control. Instead focus on what you CAN control, which are the plans you have set for yourself & your happiness.
â: you may have closed a cycle on, or moved away from, a connection at this time. Either that, or things ended quickly with you & another person. There may be some things about this connection that seemed to be hidden or not spoken of, & there could have been a closing out of this, or an abrupt moving away. Whatever has happened, it was closing a lot of pressure & burden when it came to what was actually being hidden in this connection (almost like refusing to see, or a brushing under the rug). Moving away from this must have sparked a storm, possibly internally or externally (maybe even both), & there is a sense of things happening too quickly. In regards to the connection, it seems to be severed, & you or the person you're connecting with (even both) are experiencing much grief & pain from this. There may have been some heavy conflict, but someone left in search of happiness. Some may feel that happiness lied in this connection, so someone may want to express how they feel & even apologize for the role they played here. Whoever's the one with a bruised ego must take a long look at themselves & what makes them feel the need to have the upper hand at all times (that may be for some of you).
â: be careful not to overindulge when it comes to having fun at this time. There could be a great deal of overspending, or even a hint of getting over a depressive feeling. Partying too hard may be an issue, even though this can also have to do with keeping your finances stable. You could be too generous with others & that could be burdensome for you, & you could be hidden from some truths when it comes to your immediate circle of peers. You could be allowing people into your circle that are only around for what they can gain out of you & your generosity, but it could be disguised as fake love & admiration. It's important to get clear about who is wrong for you & focus on what is going to keep your life balanced. With these people, you may be kicking out a lot of your finances, but all in the name of having a good time. Don't allow the people around you to diminish your personal happiness & fulfillment & only allow the people who are going to add to that. Become more focused on the relationships that bring you stability & that allow you to be more comfortable & vulnerable, rather than continuing to be burdened by people who are only around for what you can give.
â: there may be some communication that wants to be sent out (or that may want to come in for you), though there seems to be a lot of pressure & mental activity that has taken place beforehand. Whether you are on the receiving end of this or not, there is one individual who is perfectly secure, either financially or spiritually, & is focused on their happiness, while there is another who wants to rush in with an abrupt message to this stable energy. There is a slow moving offer that wants to come into a connection between two people to which this 'jittery', less secure energy feels admiration for the secure energy. This was a connection that wasn't built on a foundation strong enough to last far, but there was a mutual respect & enjoyment whenever together, & one person is noted as walking away from what wasn't working. Whatever this offer (or message) is, it is regarding what was hidden from this connection & what the less stable person was holding back, which is what ultimately caused an ending here. There is hope for a new beginning of a cycle, for this person has not forgotten about the other, in fact they never let go of what they felt they could have had with them. This person may be coming around in a more vulnerable way than what was know of them before, & they are in a more sincere mindset with this connection, as it was something they were really trying to understand for themselves. The conclusion of this connection really brought mental turmoil, & they had to decipher the pain that came with it. They want to move toward the other to bring balance back to the connection.
â: you are focused on manifesting at this time & are allowing things to come to you if they are meant to. You only have patience for what is going to serve your purpose & you are putting an end to anything that doesn't. Your confidence in getting what is meant for you is being expressed mentally as well as through your actions. It may have taken you much introspection to get to this point, or you may have to experience that at this time. Your workplace may be something you excel in, however it seems to be a dead end that you may want to wrap up. You may have other dreams in mind that you would like to pursue, but you could be stuck where you are. Taking a risk for what is truly meant for you may be your focus moving forward, & it may already be in the process of manifesting for you. It's something that is acting as an entire restart for you & will inquire much clarity & force in making it happen. Things are balancing out for you in a sense that you understand where your purpose in life lies & it may call for you to be brave, & even vulnerable enough to take any risks available. You can be divinely guided to be aware of you options & things could be coming clear for you through spirit, but you are back & forth when it comes to your faith. The slow moving development may make you feel like the wheel isn't turning for you, but it is.
â: there is some conflict that may be a new experience for you that happens during this time. The things that were kept hidden from you are being brought to light, & it is leaving you in a mentally unstable place. Whether the conflict is internal or external, there is a feeling of it being a looming issue that seemed to be underlooked in the past. There may have been a collaboration that was being built over top of this illusive energy in a way to achieve balance between you & another person, but even with the happiness that you've experienced, it seemed it was only a matter of time before this conflict was brought to a head. There is much heartache & pain surrounding what has transpired for you, but it was also a lesson that needed to come to the light about information that was never known, nor discussed much. There was a feeling of dealing with the inner knowing of what wasn't expressed, & wanting to bring balance & love to the situation regardless. You (or someone you're connecting with) seems to have cut their losses here & decided to go toward what was going to heal them from a time of much confusion. This may have triggered your own spiritual awakening & caused you to go into isolation to become at one with yourself again. For some, this may have been the nail in the coffin regarding this situation, but ultimately, this will be a time of reflection & going back & forth about what was unknown to you before. At this time, you may be doing much self study & examination that you feel you (or the person you're connecting with) needs to engage in.
â: you, or someone you're connecting with, may be over indulging in vices, whether that be partying or not. You may have had a sudden realization that showed you of a false structure that you've been exposed to, possibly in your immediate social circle. You may have been intuitively picking up on the conflict to the situation at hand, & you may want to move away from the situation, or these people, as you are realizing that they are not for your highest good. You are setting out to heal at this time & you may also be leaving the problematic situation behind you, whatever that may be for you. There may have been things that were hidden from you initially that was probably someone (or a group of people; social circle) who may have had ulterior motives & you may be coming through to shut it down completely, as you are wanting to bring clarity & truth to the reality of it all. You may have someone to relay all this information to, someone who you have a mutual interest in. You may need to communicate with someone who wasn't within the situation, but who was still affected by it, in any way. You are needing to leave a situation & bring clarity for yourself & another individual who is someone you intend to build with. Truth & clarity may be your focus at this time, as you're trying to be rid of the situation you're trying to leave behind in favor of another person or situation. Things may take on a legal connotation, but it is all in favor of your freedom.
â: there is a strong energy of wanting to act very impulsively & passionately upon a very promising opportunity that lies before them. It is something that needs building upon as well, but it is a very sincere offer that may be coming your way, or one that you want to send out. You, or the person you're connecting with, is where happiness lies for some, & others may just be prepared going after what you want fearlessly. Not allowing any mental restriction to hold you back any longer from what is bringing you fear to act in a vulnerable way. There is someone that wants to bring harmony back to a situation with someone who is cut from the same cloth, but the mental anguish surrounding this is causing a back & forth to act, through communicating whatever feelings is being felt here for the other person. A separation, or isolation from another person wants to end here, & it is a need to make things happen with someone who is prepared to bring out the femininity out of the other, who may display more masculine energy than the other. It seems like there is delay of movement in this connection due to some fears that could be coming up & they could be directly involving actions in the past. Someone is trying to let go of what is keeping them held back before bringing things together again, so this could be energy that you are picking up around you if it is not you directly; take what resonates.
â: you may be coming out of a dark time of introspection & are rightly setting out to obtain what ever opportunities or fresh beginnings that you had to battle through obstacles to have compromised your own attainment of it. You may be coming out of was a stalemate for achieving fulfillment & new experiences, but instead may have been subjected to ending situations & obstacles that weren't serving you at your highest good. You may be coming to the reality that the ways others were working with you (or closely knit people) that seemed sketchy or sneaky. You are probably going to be focused on being back in alignment with yourself after dealing with possibly changes or challenges within the family. You may be coming into a new cycle or situation that is only going to have to do with your own happiness & fulfillment. The obstacles you put an end to, you created a new beginning for yourself that will establish a better foundation for your future accomplishments. You may come across creative endeavors & have healed the burdens that you once thought were going to be easy to manage. You're getting clarity on where you need to push yourself forward. You are determined to build yourself back up from what felt like you were impoverished, which may be a slow & steady climb back to inner stability. Either way, you have been victorious in overcoming obstacles & coming out of a place of solitude & contemplation.
â: there may be opposition & conflict that could be coming in the form of an opportunity that has a lot of emotion attached to it. An issue regarding it may be having to face opposing parties or situations that seemed to be at odds with you. You may be in a defensive stance in protecting the happiness that you're manifesting for yourself, but you're determined in rebuilding foundations that were once threatened. There may have been the loss of new beginnings that you even had to face, but you were keeping a close guard on what you felt you couldn't make happen for yourself. If things are meant to be for you, they will be, & whatever is meant to close out for you will, for it will outgrow what is meant to fit into your life anyway. Building your own happiness will take a lot of time & planning, even though your plots are concrete with the intention finding/keeping peace even when things seem to be stressful. Even when things get to a point where they are being broken down or reconstituted after much of climbing toward happiness, it's important to stay in your heart space & truly believe in what you're creating for yourself & that you're striving towards greatness. When things don't improve or work out the way you plan it, it is always a better reasoning behind it, because there is a bigger & better opportunity right around the corner. Don't allow mental anguish over things that are no longer serving to cloud your judgement. Things have to end for the new to begin.
â: things that were hidden from you about certain people or situations are beginning to bring much burden to you, & the other people or person involved may be only out for their own personal gains. They may have thought they had you fooled, but you were already one step ahead of them intuitively & could pick up on the burdens that they were (probably) intentionally putting you through. If you haven't already, you may be guided toward finding peace & equilibrium away from what had been putting pressure upon what you have committed to, or even what you felt like was morally correct over what wasn't. Whatever is combative with your abundance coming in, you have to be content in the place you are heading. You're using your discernment & better judgment regarding who you decide to be within your space. You're back & forth with balancing things that have been revealed to you & information that still seems to be hidden. What you've fought off in favor of your own harmony was probably stopping you from progressing in the ways you wanted to & you're staying hopeful about things coming to the right conclusion regarding whatever has kept you in a burdened state. You're focusing on realigning yourself away from oppressive energies that have kept you from the fruitful opportunities or experiences that you may have lost out on, or that has you feeling you lost out on greater things than what has already come your way or what awaits to come your way thus far.
â: this may be a time where you are feeling like you're in a place to branch off into new, fruitful beginnings. You seem to be well aligned & are expectant of opportunities to come your way, as you may have reached a wonderous, childlike energy that keeps you level headed & focused on what is being handed to you. You may have been coming out of a time where you've prevailed against betrayal & pain that could have taken place in the past that involved things to be unbalanced. The conclusion of everything happens to be the better instance of receiving the karma that formed from you staying optimistic & in alignment. There is a possibility of reconciliation, but it's possible that wrongs that were even done to you in the past will be righted. You were able to overcome what has ever happened before & are able to become firm in stable relationships & happiness, & you are only giving to situations that is an equal give & take. You have been taking the time to be open to more opportunities that life will present you with in the future & you definitely won't hesitate at going after them. You know not to entertain things that aren't serving to you or your purpose, & you'd rather wait for the right situations to be available to you, & ones what are of mutual reception. You know when to act on it, yet you may have a little trouble holding out for it, which will take time. You may need to come into an energy that is more action oriented rather that being receptive. You shouldn't be caught up it the wait of all you desire, rather you need to be in the energy to make plans for your next move towards stability.
