Many people are familiar with the astrological phenomenon known as Mercury retrograde, which occurs three to four times a year, and how it affects our lives through communication breakdowns, technology glitches, and misunderstandings.
What is less well known is how it affects spiritism. I have noticed this astrological influence in many of my psychic readings during retrograde periods over the years. Since we are currently in the midst of another Mercury retrograde period, I thought now might be a good time to explore this phenomenon in more detail.
If you’re unfamiliar, Mercury retrograde is an astrological phenomenon that occurs when Mercury appears to move backward in space. This is actually an optical illusion caused by the Earth’s orbit beyond Mercury’s closer orbit to the Sun.
We are currently halfway through the first Mercury retrograde of the year, which will last until April 25. day.
In astrology, Mercury is the planetary ruler of communication, travel, and information processing. Therefore, when Mercury goes retrograde, these areas of our lives tend to be affected the most. People often report experiencing poor communication, travel delays, and technology issues during Mercury retrograde. During this time, you may also feel like your life is on hold or that your goals and plans are not progressing.
Retrogrades are essentially like boomerangs, with a way of taking us back to the scene of a crime. Let’s go over what we most likely have to skip. Back to the place we couldn’t see, understand, or digest for the first time~ Hello Nicholas
How Mercury Retrograde Affects Psychic Readings
I have found that Mercury retrograde tends to affect psychic readings in the following ways:
Communication issues: Since Mercury is associated with communication, Mercury retrograde can affect the clarity and effectiveness of communication between the psychic and client. This may lead to misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the message being conveyed.
Technical interference: For psychics like me who rely on technology for readings (such as phone calls, online chats, or video calls), Mercury retrograde can cause technical difficulties that disrupt meetings or make it difficult to connect with clients.
Forecast paused: Energetically speaking, Mercury Retrograde is a time of reflection, review, and revisiting past issues rather than embarking on new adventures or setting new goals. Therefore, psychic readings during this time may be more focused on solving past problems or understanding current situations rather than revealing predictions about the future.
Deeper reflection: While this isn’t the best time to predict, the introspective nature of Mercury retrograde can actually deepen a client’s personal reflection and insight, as the energy of this time encourages them to look inward and re-evaluate situations. This can make readings during Mercury retrograde particularly profound or insightful to resolve a lingering problem or get out of a sticky situation.
Increase sensitivity: Mercury retrograde periods are also times of heightened sensitivity to energy, which may enhance a channeler’s ability to connect with spirits and energies, or conversely, make it more difficult to effectively harness these energies. Therefore, it is important for psychic readers to be aware of how they may personally be affected by retrograde energy in order to provide the best readings for their clients.
This phenomenon is one of the few that affects everyone in a fairly uniform way, and its effects are always noticeable. Once you start focusing on how the events in your life change during these stages, you’ll soon discover how important it is to record them~ Susan Miller
Things to note when Mercury is retrograde
While it’s easy to focus on the challenges and issues that come with this time of year, Mercury Retrograde also provides unique opportunities for personal growth, self-reflection, and re-evaluation. Here are some tips for making the most of this time:
Consider your place in the universe: This is an excellent time to reflect on your current life situation. Think about your personal relationships, your career, and other important areas of your life. Ask yourself, “Am I truly happy?” If there’s a hint of doubt in your answer, take it as a nudge to consider making a change. Mercury retrograde provides a pause to evaluate and refocus your goals and desires.
catch my breath: The rush of life sometimes blinds us to what is truly important. Use this time as an invitation to slow down. Think deeply about what needs improvement and how to achieve it. This is not the time for rash decisions, but for careful consideration and planning.
Looking back and moving forward: Our past experiences shape us, but they can also provide clues to our current mindset and challenges. If certain memories keep resurfacing during Mercury retrograde, there’s probably a reason. Delve deeper into these memories, examine the feelings associated with them, and learn from them. This process can provide clarity and closure, allowing you to move forward with a lighter heart.
Don’t make big commitments: During Mercury retrograde, it is generally not recommended to sign important documents or make major financial decisions, such as buying a home or expensive electronics. Misunderstandings and overlooked details are more common now, so it’s wise to delay these actions if possible.
Don’t rush into anything: In a world that values speed and efficiency, Mercury Retrograde requires us to take a step back. Avoid the urge to break through barriers or force a solution. Adopting a “go with the flow” attitude is not only recommended, but may be necessary as the universe realigns itself. Use this slower pace to make careful decisions and actions.
Don’t be too hard on yourself: This time may bring uncertainty and change that may be unsettling. Remember, this is a time of reflection and readjustment, not just for you, but for everyone. Please be gentle with yourself and others as you deal with these changes.
Mercury retrograde, for all its nuances, doesn’t have to be an anxious time. Instead, if approached with mindfulness and patience, this can be a time of growth, insight, and transformation. By following these dos and don’ts, you can harness the energy of this time for personal development and a smoother transition.
