Mercury retrograde has such a negative reputation, but truly is just a normal pattern and cycle of life.
In fact, Mercury retrograde is very necessary for helping us to raise our consciousness and has a specific purpose that many people don’t understand.
When you learn how to use the energy of Mercury Retrograde, you can have it work in your favor, rather than against you.
The first step is to understand the role of Mercury.
Mercury is the planet of communication, he rules over how we express ourselves, how we think and how we communicate our ideas and feelings to the outside world.
When Mercury goes retrograde, he helps us to shift our focus away from expressing outwards and into expressing inwards.
Mercury retrograde gives us an opportunity to go within and to work out how we really feel and how we want to express our ideas and thoughts with the world.
Think of it this way, when Mercury is moving direct he is helping us to speak our truth and communicate to the world. When Mercury goes retrograde however, he gives us the opportunity to assess our truth and how we have been communicating it to the world.
This dual process has to exist in order for us to really consciously understand who we are and how we choose to communicate this.
When Mercury goes retrograde, he gives us time to work out those deeper, darker parts of our psyche in order to help us tune into our soul truth.
Mercury retrograde is a powerful time to get real with yourself and to unearth all of those emotions, thoughts and feelings that have been buried inside for so long.
