Mercury is officially in retrograde! YAY (can you hear the sarcasm?) ▪️ When this major astrological event occurs while Mercury is in a fire sign as brash and volatile as Aries, none of us are safe. Be prepared for miscommunications on the daily, technological breakdowns at the worst possible time, maddeningly awful traffic, and perhaps even a spontaneous visit from your ex. All of these are just the tip of the iceberg for what can go wrong while Mercury appears to be rolling backwards in the sky. For the next three weeks, you might as well just sit back, relax, and watch this sh*tshow go down. I'm telling you: This is going to be amazing(ly terrifying). ▪️ Just like there are some cons, this is also the perfect time to reflect. Mercury retrograde periods are times when past "karmic" opportunities can be exteriorized in new forms to be concretized after an information gathering period. It represents a second chance to see things, experiences, and people in a different light from the first encounter, and to understand the value of slowing down in certain areas of life, or to see why a situation was originally delayed. ▪️ Over the course of the Mercury Retrograde, we at The Eclectic Shaman are prepared to give you tips to survive the madness. Let’s start off with a super important, must have crystal to survive during the retrograde! . ▪️ Black Tourmaline assists in letting go of fear, anxiety and chaotic energy.
