Ahhhh 2022... you came in with and a bang and have Mercury Retrograde trailing in behind you to get us all mixed up and in our feels. The first retrograde of this year is from January 14- February 3... with affects being felt both before and after. Sounds greeeeeeattttttttt.
What is mercury retrograde? Well, it's the most unpopular astrological effect... but it can also be beneficial in other ways.
Mercury Retrograde motion is when the planet appears, when observed from Earth, to reverse direction. This happens due to an optical illusion caused by differences in orbit. In the realm of astrology, retrograde motion has negative connotations. Because Mercury is the planet said to rule communication, it is believed to lead to frequent misunderstandings, scheduling problems and disagreements during this period. Since Mercury is the fastest planet in our solar system, it enters apparent retrograde motion between three and four times a year, for about three weeks at a time.
Each retrograde period offers us a chance to slow down and to review. If we do not revisit the past, we can’t learn from it. Retrogrades aren’t just here to encourage your ex to text you, they're here to inspire growth through revision and reflection.
If you are feeling stressed or need some grounding, as a reiki master I have created this reiki energy healing video to help bring stability and calm. The 432 frequency gives a person a strong relaxation sense. 432 Hz frequency music ensures the brain is tuned to the earth frequency. The frequency will resonate inside a person’s body, thereby releasing any emotional blockage and align the person with the universe’s heartbeat. The 432 frequency music heightens perception, increases the mental clarity of a person and unlocks intuition.

*Review
*Reflect
*Re-check (everything!)
*Don't text your ex
You got this.
