What is Mercury Retrograde?
Mercury is the planet of our mind, thoughts and interests, it’s the operating system within our human vehicle. Planet Mercury takes the internal experience (Moon) and acts as a bridge to the external (Sun), so you can move and through life.
“All is mind, and the mind is all” - Kybalion.
Mercury is the planet of manifestation, after all, everything begins with a single thought. Our Mercury takes that thought and actualises it within our reality. What you think you create.
Mercury is the messenger, he travels between worlds, dimensions, consciousness and unconsciousness. It's the planet that embodies the ALCHEMIST & MAGICIAN archetype.
When you map your transits, wherever Mercury goes so will your mind. What I mean by that statement is Mercury's what we think about. It's what we enjoy talking about and how we express ourselves.
Mercury in Astrology governs our brains, it's not the brain itself but manages it. Think of Mercury as the software to our human vehicle... and just as all technology and software need upgrades and updates for the system to function optimally, so does our human vehicle.
When Mercury is Retrograde we essentially flip to our less dominant side of the brain. In essence, we are not performing at our usual pace as we enter a time of upgrades, updates, and clearing of mental space.
It's as if we internalize the function of Mercury, and we relive old memories, thoughts, and things to do with the past. Thoughts and situations come back up for reflection and analysis.
In many ways, it acts like a software glitch, Control, Atl, and delete, or a bit like when you run out of space, and you have to go through files and data to see what you want to keep and let go of what you're ready to release.
Mercury Retrograde is a time to work your magic & Improve upon what already is.
What you NEED to Know:
How To Use Mercury Retrograde To Manifest Your Goals?
I’m going to keep this really simple when it comes to manifesting anything, your inner work is MOST important. Your identity is what propels you to success or keeps you safe.
You cannot manifest anything without action, and you cannot achieve what you do not believe.
So, where does Mercury Retrograde come in?
Well, Mercury retrograde is the bridge between the inner world and how you navigate the outer world. So, if belief is a key to manifesting, then when Mercury is retrograde it’s prime time to rewire your subconscious.
You could begin a cycle of hypnosis, mirror work, and journaling to find the blocks to what you’re trying to call in.
When Mercury retrogrades, you have easy access to your subconscious. Which means you have a much easier time releasing limiting beliefs, traumas and blocks. The very things that stop you manifesting what you wish to bring into your life.
One of the fundamentals to the law of attraction and the law of the universe is that what you think most about is what you manifest.
“The mind is all, and all is mind”.
You see, what you think creates a feeling. Feelings are energetic frequencies, like radio waves, and those radio waves make you a magnet to the same things on that frequency.
For example you're pregnant or trying and have "baby brain" - You'll start seeing baby-everything around you because you're tuned into the frequency of babies. Same goes when you purchase a new car and see it everywhere.
The emotion you’re resonating at, that feeling you feel becomes a beacon. Therefore, calling in more experiences of it, whatever it may be.
So when Mercury is Rx, you’re in this state with more intensity than at any other time, making it the most ideal time to manifest things into your life.
