Mercury Retrograde: A Cosmic Crossroads

The upcoming Mercury retrograde isn’t just any retrograde—it’s happening alongside Venus’s own retrograde motion, all while Neptune makes a historic shift from Pisces to Aries for the first time in 148 years. Even the Sun will be crossing this powerful cusp, marking the transition from winter (Pisces) to spring (Aries). This is not just about mixed signals and delayed emails—it’s a profound period of reflection, release, and rebirth.

 The Energy at Play

Pisces reminds us that we are all connected, dissolving boundaries. Aries, in contrast, asserts individuality, pushing us to define ourselves.

• Pisces can be overwhelmed by the world.
• Aries reacts, sometimes impulsively.
• This retrograde will have us oscillating between these extremes—seeking unity but needing autonomy.

 So, ask yourself:
✨ What confuses you right now?
✨ What is trying to emerge in your life, but isn’t ready yet?
✨ Where do you feel pulled by external forces, and how can you reclaim your agency?
✨ How do you balance connection with others without losing yourself?

 Navigating This Retrograde

As always, Mercury retrograde reminds us to pause, reflect, and reassess—but this time, the stakes are higher. The key is to measure twice so when you make the cut it will be just the way you want:

✅ Think twice before speaking or making major decisions.
✅ Double-check details before sending messages or signing contracts.
✅ Hold off on big purchases or commitments until clarity emerges.
✅ Trust that delays may actually be divine timing at work.

 Mark your calendar for March 24—the Mercury-Sun conjunction—when insights will become clearer and momentum will start to shift. In the grander scheme, this retrograde is a preview of the deeper transformation our world is undergoing. Saturn will enter Aries in May, reinforcing these themes of identity, leadership, and renewal.

 We are part of this cosmic shift. The more we embrace this time for deep listening and realignment, the better prepared we’ll be for the changes ahead.
