Mercury retrograde as a time to finish things is a switch in focus that is time bound enough to really focus my attention on what has been left open that I don’t want to fully abandon. Hoping to curtail some of ambient guilt/ shame from looking at what’s half done & clear energy for new projects.

I’m using this energy to finish projects that have been in my brain & to take extra space to be tired. I question my perfectionist tendencies and approach conflict with as open a heart as possible. I hope I get to connect with old friends (one of my favorite parts of mercury retrograde).

I like to think of this time as thou go current is changing. If you move your hand against a slow current, you see how the bottom silt gets stirred up against the flow. This is the energy of mercury retrograde: messy, murky, but also revealing/ unearthing what was skimmed over before.

If you can get curious and push past the urge to blame & shame—to investigate your relationships, conversations, and other investments of your life force: there is space to grow. See how slow you can go and what discomforts reveal themselves.

Monthly debuff is the greatest description I’ve ever seen 😂
