I don't know why I decided to write some tips to survive Mercury Retrograde during a Mercury Retrograde but here we go. Today's date is May 11, 2022, we are currently in the second retrograde this year. I hope this blog reaches you due to retrograde being retrograde. If you don't know, Deity Mercury controls communication. Whether you believe it or not, electronics start acting weird, communications become difficult, misunderstandings become more frequent, and unfinished business shows its ugly head.

Here are some tips to help you survive and make it through your retrogrades.

For starters, slow down and take a step back. If given a moment, take the time to appreciate anything that slows you down. We live in a time where everything is fast-paced and there is hardly a delay for anything we want. While during the retrograde and you are given a break, take it, and enjoy life no matter how short the break is.

One of our main types of communication is through text and email. Retrograde knows no bounds and will trip you up with your words, so double-check your text messages and email for any typos. If given the opportunity, make a phone call to lessen the chance of miscommunication.

Spring cleaning even if we are not in spring. If you have clothes or furniture that need to be donated now is the time to donate them. Organizing your desk removes clutter and organize those loose papers.

Retrograde is a perfect time to not, start a project but to complete them. Such as projects that were put to the side should be completed during this time.

If someone comes into mind, reach out to them. We are busy all of the time and relationships start to become distant. This happens on its own and is normal. Retrograde is a perfect time to reach out to rekindle those relationships.

As a traditional superstition, it is not a good time to buy electronics as they are more likely to break. It is also not recommended to break up with your partner you, may find yourself back together with them. On the opposite side, you may find yourself back with your ex during this period.

Know that everyone is in this together. It is time to increase self-care and to be gentle to those around us. We are forced out of our comfort zones and pushed to grow. During this time we need to grow with it and do it on our terms and at our speed.

We need to remember just because we have an end date of retrograde does not mean we are out of the woods. We are graced with a shadow period. During this time Mercury is realigning itself. Hold and move forward gracefully. After the shadow period life will get back to normal and you can do as you please.

Retrograde is not forever but a time to reflect and grow.
