Why? WHY?! For the love of everything natural, why does Mercury gotta keep doing us dirty like it does? If you didn't know, Mercury is in retrograde right now until December 15th. If you don't know what retrograde means, in an astronomer sense, it is when the planets orbit starts to look like it's going backwards—simply an optical illusion. In an astrologer sense, it means all heck is breaking loose. Girl, if you haven't solved or at least recognized your shadows, retrograde is going to slap you in the face with them. Especially Mercury in retrograde! That one really hits you where it hurts. Like, not just deep emotional drama but also little annoying things, like on top of you having to deal with some past unrecognized trauma, your phone storage is now full and working slower. So it's a double whammy. Any other witchy women out there roughing it this mercury in retrograde? Sending you good vibes and clarity (and memes below)!!
