Mercury Retrograde -Perhaps It Is Time to Upgrade the Story
For those of you who know me well, or who have worked with me, you are familiar with what I pull in from the field, and sometimes from the planets themselves.
I have a bond with them.
I travel within their energy. I see the array of colours within their souls. Yes, I experience them as living beings that carry the frequencies required for us to dance with life, evolve, and understand ourselves at a deeper level.
These frequencies are neutral. They carry a particular tone that interacts with different areas of the physical and emotional body, much like the body itself holds the key to every emotion.
The body is a barometer.
This is also how I see the planets and how we interact with one another.
I would like to share a perspective that may upset the status quo, or burst a few bubbles within the spiritual and astrological communities.
Most people understand now that a planet does not physically travel backwards.
It appears to move backwards from our perspective here on Earth because of the changing positions and speeds of the planets as they move through their individual orbits.
Think of it like sitting in a car while another car beside you begins moving. For a moment, you may feel as though your own car is rolling backwards, even though you have not moved at all.
It is the perspective that has shifted.
There are many outmoded beliefs surrounding the planets and their phases. We create paradigms based on our current level of understanding, and then the collective unconsciously creates experiences that appear to validate those beliefs.
The belief becomes the program.
The program shapes our behaviour.
Our behaviour then produces the evidence required to keep the original belief alive.
We have evolved a fair bit, well, lol, some have, and our astrological delineations require an upgrade as we do.
I have always done some of my best work during retrogrades, especially Mercury retrograde.
I have created great things, made important decisions, and had some of my best experiences during these periods. Mercury retrograde has never affected me in the negative way we are so often warned about.
Why?
Because my belief system does not support the paradigm the collective follows.
A planetary vibration is just that: a vibration. It is neutral, and cannot personally decide to make your computer break, or your car to stop working, destroy your relationship, or send your life into chaos. If this were a fact, then the collective as a whole would be affected.
That would be like saying a car that slowed down and moved with greater care caused the crash simply because it changed speed.
The planets open a door, and we meet them there.
What happens next depends on what we are carrying within our own field.
The energy mirrors back to us what we are being, much like thought forms that are not necessarily attacking us; they may simply be boomeranging our own unconscious material back into our awareness.
Mercury retrograde can reveal where our communication has become unclear, where our thinking is running on an old program, or where we have been moving so quickly that we have disconnected from the deeper information.
Planetary movements do not possess the power to punish us or instigate chaos; that is a reflection of us and our response to the frequency.
The planet is not doing something to you. It is creating a frequency through which you may see yourself more clearly. Therefore, it is subjective. The Mercurial voice within us, being the lower octave of Uranus, sees from a skimmed perspective.
When you change your perspective, you are able to take advantage of every moment and every movement the planetary souls make.
They are not here to cause havoc.
Much of the havoc comes from humans getting in their own way through limited understanding, programmed pain, unconscious behaviour and the expectation that something must go wrong.
When thousands of people enter a retrograde already expecting delays, arguments, technological failures and confusion, that expectation becomes part of the collective field. We then feed the very paradigm we are afraid of.
For many people, slowing down, reviewing their choices and making plans from a more conscious place may be exactly what is required during a retrograde. That is where they are in their evolution, and there is nothing wrong with that.
For me, the slowing down allows me to move faster.
It gives me space to weave between the old structures, access information from the field, and create what I desire without being pulled into collective fear, and I will do it fast.
It has always been that way for me because I am programmed that way.
I do not see Mercury retrograde as something to fear; I see it as a change in frequency and rhythm, where the lower mind is invited to become conscious of itself.
You can keep expecting Mercury retrograde to create problems, and your unconscious mind will continue looking for evidence that supports the story.
Or you can decide that this movement offers another doorway through which you can review, realign, reconnect and create.
The planets do not control us; they meet us where we are at.
What we experience within that meeting depends greatly on the frequency, beliefs, and programs we bring with us.
