Retrogrades

Retrogrades - for me retrogrades are a time for observation, reflection and being tested. To me it feels like the part of the healing cycle where you get tested on how healed you are in certain areas, it's like being tested on the thing you were healing last time the planet was in that position. It reflects to us our own healing cycles and how deeply connected we are to the whole cosmos.

Tests are a wonderful thing but we don't always pass, sometimes we learn through failure. Both are ok.

I feel retrogrades reveal the things we have forgotten about and swept under the carpet, the things we pushed into the shade. They bring us into alignment in areas we haven't been paying attention to, maybe that feels like being blocked, things are stop start or things falling away completely. But trust the detour and remember how guided you are.

Sometimes we have to get lost to find ourselves again.

I would advise lots of massage and reduced screen time during this particular Mercury retrograde in Aquarius as it could be one to shake up your nervous system a bit. Intelligent nerve healing plants, and tech free days.
