The Mercury Retrograde period is often a time to:
- Reflect on events already happened (mental communication with yourself)
- Write about past events or feelings
- You may be drawn to reading over old journal notes or more drawn to historical topics
- A chance to revisit a message or intuitive hit you previously ignored or didn’t know how to process
If travel plans go awry, try zooming out from the detail of the situation. Ask yourself whether there was a good reason for keeping you in a certain place (from a higher perspective)?
Did travel delays mean that you got chance to reflect on something that might have otherwise have been swept under the carpet?
The Reflection Cycles
Sometimes during our life’s journey, we are consciously working on reflection
When we go over something that has already happened
It might be something we have been over before
But not from this place
Not from this time
Not from this current here and now perspective
When Mercury is in Retrograde it seems even more likely that we may engage in the reflection cycle
You may hear people telling you not to “go backwards” or not focus on the past (aren’t you over that yet?” etc)
But reflection is a necessary part of learning and sometimes it takes a lot of different ways of looking at something before it truly is able to shift
Lean Into it!
Sometimes you simply have need to look at whatever your vision, heart, body, soul, is telling you to look at!
Trust that it’s coming up for a reason – and lean into it
Whatever shows itself during the Mercury Rx cycle – whether it’s the next layer of recovery, healing or understanding of your future journey, the best advice I can offer is to trust deeply in your own intuitive gifts and sit with whatever you’re being shown
Reflecting in a safe confidential space
If you prefer to work with a mentor during times of reflection, and value being heard and having a safe space to discuss your reflections, (plus if you’d like guidance from astrology and numerology to feature as part of that) please do get in touch
With love
