Some MERCURY RETROGRADE highlights from 2019

Mercury Retrograde from July 7 to July 31, 2019

Mercury, the closest planet to circle the sun, started it’s retrograde motion in the sign of Leo on July 7 and will continue retrograding through the sign of Cancer from July 19-31. 

If you go outside and look at the evening sky just after sunset you can still catch a glimpse of Mercury setting on the western horizon. You might even see the red planet Mars riding the skies close by -which gives an energetic start to this retrograde cycle.

Mercury goes retrograde three times a year and during these times it is common for mishaps in communication and travel to occur. 

At this time it is wise to check your emails before pressing "send" so they don’t go out to the wrong recipient; check thoroughly any contracts you sign; and leave for the airport with enough time to catch your flight the day you travel. These are some examples of how to deal on a daily basis with a Mercury Retrograde cycle. 

Specifically this retrograde has Mercury moving through the zodiac signs of Leo and Cancer. We can harness this transit to reflect and work inwardly on our self-expression and creativity, sense of confidence, healing, family, our self-care and well-being. 

Mercury retrograde is also a time to slow down, re-evalue and review. It is significant that this Mercury Retrograde starts up between two eclipses (July 2 and July 16) and can further encourage us to reflect and redirect our habits and patterns related to our healing, health and well-being.

- How Mercury retrograde in the sign of Cancer is related to the recent eclipses. What it means. 

Just a reminder that Mercury is now retrograde until July 31st so make sure to check your emails before sending them out, read all your paperwork with extra care and especially, if you are signing legal documents, make sure to double and triple check them. 

However, on July 19 Mercury in its retrograde motion returns to the sign of Cancer, highlighting the themes of the July 2019 eclipses on the Cancer-Capricorn axis of the zodiac. These themes as we already experienced are related to: 

✨Family Life ad Work Life
✨Our roots and our place in the world
✨Mother father themes
✨Family, feeling safe and going out into the wold to create our destiny and reach our goals

What does this all mean? 
Mercury retrograding back to the zodiac sign of family, feeling safe, our emotional world, our family and our self care, is a way the universe is giving us some extra time to review these areas and especially in relation to the things we need to say, the words we use to communicate. 

✨Mercury is the planet of communication, both written and spoken, and our inner thoughts, the things we say to ourselves. And Mercury (communication) in Cancer (personal world) is leading us back to reflect on our personal and intimate forms of communication. 

✨What are the words we need to say to ourselves to create inner well being? 
✨What are the things we want to say to our family and those who are family to us? 
✨How do we communicate in the intimacy of our relationships? 

✨It is a time to go over and review the words we use, how we communicate and what we communicate. 
✨Are there words and thoughts we want to express, we need to say? 

in order to create a sense of well being, and a safe and loving place with people we are connected to. 

This is a good opportunity to do so with Mercury retrograde in the sign of our inner world, emotions and nurturing self-care. 

More to come in relation to the eclipses but now let’s think about the things we need to say
