Things to Accomplish while Mercury is in Retrograde
Mercury retrograde can be used to reassure your Power Wish
Hi, it’s Keiko.
The rainy season has started in Japan.
This has nothing to do with Japan’s rainy season, but
last week Mercury, the planet of information and communication briefly stopped moving,
and on Thursday June 18th, it went into retrograde.
This marks the start of the second Mercury in retrograde event this year.
Mercury is a fast moving planet,
and normally it doesn’t spend even a month in any particular sign.
However, this time it is starting it’s retrograde in the very middle of Cancer (at 14 degrees)
and it will remain in Cancer until early-August!
So it is going to be spending another
two full months in Cancer.
Doesn’t it seem to you
like the Universe
is really trying to promote Cancer this year?
Having two New Moons in Cancer is in itself a very special event,
and during the first one on June 21st, there is also a solar eclipse.
And the solar eclipse is happening on the same day as the Summer Solstice.
Furthermore, little Mercury (who hates staying in one place for any length of time)
is going to be sticking around in Cancer
for two and a half months!
But to tell you the truth,
the Universe has actually been promoting Cancer
since the first day of the Astrological New Year.
If you take a look at the astrological chart for March 20th (the first day of the Astrological New Year)
it shows Ascendant, the gateway of fortune and opportunity, in the 28th degree of Cancer.
In other words,
since the very beginning of 2020,
Cancer has been situated right at the gateway to fortune and opportunity.
As if to prove this point ‘stay at home’ came into effect.
Stay at home was basically a proclamation from the Universe
calling on everyone to thoroughly appreciate Cancer’s energy.
Oh, Universe!
How much do you intend to promote Cancer this year?
Well, let’s put that story aside for a moment.
This Mercury retrograde event
is actually an extension of stay at home.
Retrograde gives us a chance to look back on the past;
to review and revise.
It gives us the chance to fix overlooked points;
make adjustments to unstable parts;
and ensure that everything functions properly from now on.
In Mercury’s case,
it offers us the chance to review elements concerning information and communication.
And this time Mercury retrograde is taking place in Cancer…
So you know what that means right?
That’s right! It wants us to consider these questions:
Are you maintaining good communication with family and friends?
Have you become distant or estranged from your hometown?
Is there something which you have been wanting to say but you haven’t been able to say it?
Have you allowed misunderstandings to remain unresolved?
As a result of this unexpected stay at home situation
some families have been experiencing strained relationships…
If that is the case,
try doing something to rectify the situation during this Mercury in retrograde period (until July 12th).
Address both hardware
and software issues.
As well,
it’s quite possible that your home communication network will be thrown into disorder
during this period.
During Mercury retrogrades, disarray in communication systems is the default,
and this time
Mercury retrograde is taking place in Cancer.
So that would suggest:
Your home Wifi may stop connecting
You have a wired connection, but your communication speed may be slow.
This is really important.
If your communication problems persist
it would be a good idea to start thinking about
upgrading to a higher quality service.
In other words,
this Mercury retrograde event is sending you a notice
to get your home communication environment thoroughly ready for the arrival of the Air Era.
The Universe knows exactly what he is talking about doesn’t he?
During the Mercury in retrograde period, which lasts until July 12th,
be sure to keep this important notice from the Universe in mind.
And also,
be sure to get in contact with any family members who you have become distanced with during this month.
Family meals will be your lucky action during this month.
And finally…
There is one more thing
that I definitely want you to do during Mercury in retrograde.
That is to review your Power Wishes.
Review, revise and rewrite any Power Wishes that you have written in the past.
Mercury in retrograde basically happens once every four months,
and it’s safe to say that after four months circumstances have changed,
and your wishes may have changed too.
For example,
how often does it happen
that you no longer feel any attraction at all
to someone who you once thought you really liked?
Wishes also have to be updated!
By not reviewing your wishes during the Mercury in retrograde period
you are missing out on a chance that your wishes will come true.
And that is such a waste!
Reviewing and rewriting your Power Wishes during Mercury in retrograde is frankly…
a kind reminder to the Universe.
I won’t say anything bad,
but please be sure to do this one thing!
Remember, even the Universe is prone to forget things from time to time.
I should also mention
that it’s okay to go back as far as you like.
You can rewrite Power Wishes you wrote a year ago…
Or Power Wishes that you wrote two years ago...
Or you could even rewrite the Sagittarius lunar eclipse Power Wish that you wrote just two weeks ago!
There are three full weeks of Mercury retrograde,
so it’s also a great time to make a Moon Collage.
I’m sure you will find,
that using these small tricks
will really boost the likelihood that your Power Wishes will be fulfilled!
