Mercury is Retrograde--and there IS something you can about it!!

Whew--got through tax day! Now, whoopee! We're into another Mercury retrograde period, which just began yesterday, April 18th and will end on May 11th. (The effects can be felt up to two weeks before and after, though the retrograde energies are acutely felt three days before and after Mercury goes direct again).

This happens 3 or 4 times a year--and since Mercury governs communication, it means communication is slower, the internet, phone and other mediums of communication may have problems or breakdowns. Plans made during the retrograde often have to be revisited or revised later--important facts may be left out, or key points misunderstood. The standard advice given is not to sign any important contracts, buy any major items especially appliances, or make any major decisions during this time--except when absolutely necessary. Common sense needs to prevail :)!

When Mercury is retrograde, frustrations can build, and simple things can be difficult--and this is more true when you don't know about Mercury retrograde. When you do, it's easier to surrender to the flow.

Personally I have found it useful and empowering to know and incorporate Mercury retrograde information into my life, avoiding hassles and being able to keep humor and perspective about things that seem to "go wrong".

I will never forget the engineering firm I once worked for that did a major computer conversion without running parallel systems--and they "pulled the plug" on their entire accounting system during Mercury retrograde. Talk about disasters..they sure as heck didn't consult an astrologer, and common sense did not prevail on any level!

So now you know about it, but is there anything you can do? Actually yes, I will share with you ways to make good use of Mercury retrograde--in a minute. But first, other good news about Mercury retrograde!

Yes: I can help! I offer repatternings for the retrograde each time it rolls around. I can't change the course of the planets (not yet anyway) but with energy work I can help you change how those planetary energies affect you!

I plan to do a session this Thursday April 22 (and "retro-intend" that the shifts cover the entire Mercury retrograde +/- two weeks). All you have to do is register, tell me "proxy me in!" and that's IT. You don't need to send me any intentions or issues for this one unlike the Joyful Manifesting and this is distance or proxy, so you don't need to be on the phone with me--just go about your life and celebrating Earth Day!

What are the best ways to roll with, and even take advantage of the Mercury retrograde energies? Anything with a "re-" in it: review, revisit, reconnect. People from the past can often resurface during a Mercury retrograde. When communication and events go more slowly, we have the opportunity and invitation to reflect, to look more deeply at goals and plans that we have made and see if they still fit

Each retrograde has its own "flavor" depending on what sign it's in, what other planets are doing, and of course, how it affects you based on your personal astrology. The current retrograde that we're in--according to the website www.alphalifetrends.com, is about the "Revision of Financial
Structures and Values", in the sign of Taurus.

That made me smile because I was guided to offer two sessions last week, both of which dealt with money. (If you missed the teleclass, there's a link to it on my April 13th blog post.) The planets are pointing us to look in that direction--how we handle money and our financial lives, what's of true value.

If you want support through the ease and convenience of a proxy session for "Mercury Retrograde E-Z" please sign up here by Thursday 2pm Eastern time.

Many blessings and happy Mercury retrograde,
Ellen
