Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide!

Writer's picture: AbbeyAbbey

Halloween marks the start of Mercury Retrograde this October. But don't be fooled into thinking you're good till then. Mercury already started going in to its Pre-shadow phase, which is a fancy way of saying that it has started to go retrograde. The key things to remember is that everything, for the most part still applies.


This retrograde is moving through the sign of Scorpio, the darkest sign in the zodiac. This will put an emphasis on our shadow side for the duration of this retrograde. You may find yourself having a heightened intuition, vivid messages from the dead, your ancestors & spirit.


Things to keep in mind:

  • Let your ex's say what they need to say. Mercury retrograding in Scorpio brings that energy of transformation through our words. It highlights trauma & truth that people will have the need to release through that communication. I'm not saying you got to get back with your ex but at the bare minimum if you can, let them say their peace and go about your way. Others need to heal too!

  • What's your truth? This is the perfect time to deep dive into your head and get yourself sorted. Especially in the realms of the ego, the occult, past lives, sex & sexuality etc. Don't underestimate how much healing you can do just by taking the time to sort yourself out. Talk to yourself, really get to why you feel & why you think the way you do. Let yourself be flexible, even if the truth ends up hurting a little.

  • All the dead things! This is a great time to do ancestor work, practice your necromancy & Clair development in Mediumship. Have fun with this one! Go to a haunted place and see how you feel and what comes to you! Play with Ouija board! BUT of course practice protection before you dive into your curiosity.

  • Detox your thoughts! Take this opportunity to set an intention to release any bad habits that you consciously know you have. Scorpio rules truth and they are truth seekers above all things. The truth is what they use to transform themselves & their environment, so take a good look at yourself and sort out your personal issues. It's the best time to do so!

  • Reflect before reacting! One of the biggest issues that people find themselves in during Mercury retrograde is that they get in trouble for saying the "wrong" thing. A lot of the time it's because we're being reactive with our thoughts instead of being thoughtful. The easy way to fix this issue is to really think before you talk & also try to understand the other side if it happens by mistake. Know that misunderstandings are a key feature of Mercury being in retrograde so take it easy and go with your flow!

As I always say, practice a healthy amount of self care. It's important to take care of yourself before anyone else. This helps you serve others better.


Enjoy the season!


Blessings,

Abbey
