Mercury, Retrograde

APRIL: The most Powerful Month of Cosmic Activity in 2024

It’s no joke, my stargazing frIends . . .

On April 1st . . . “April Fool’s Day,” Mercury, the planet of communication: all types; including: speaking, writing, contracts, technology, travel etc., turns “retrograde” at 6:14 pm EDT (adjust for your time zone), in fiery Aries at 27* and slips back to 15* in this sign until April 25th, when it will, once again, move direct. This celestial event ushers in the most impactful cosmic happenings of 2024; so stay tuned for more Astro Reports in April.

“Retrograde” is the word attributed to a planetary body’s “apparent” backward motion. This is, actually, an optical illusion; yet, nevertheless impactful on our psyche and expressive nature. It is a time for slowing down, going inward & reflecting.

Re” is the prefix associated with any retrograde period, as re- means “do again.”

Mercury rules the mind: our thought process and the words we speak. It governs any type of communication, travel, technical device.

Some “re-“ words to think about during Mercury, Retrograde

Being in the Cardinal-Fire sign of Aries: “Impulsive Action,” we are being urged to “think before speaking,” as words can be the mightiest swords of all.

Food for thought:

Why we have 2 ears & 1 mouth: “to listen twice as much as we speak.”

This is a time to SLOW DOWN and press the PAUSE button. Unless, absolutely, necessary; not the best time for signing contracts, travel, purchasing cars, appliances, computers or any tech device. Delays may occur and/or glitches, miscommunications, stalls, &/or breakdowns etc. Remain cognizant!

PATIENCE is the key word for this period.

Best Practice: Remind yourself to “Stay Calm & Carry On!” This, too, shall pass! 🤩
