22 affirmations to help us get through the First Mercury Retrograde of 2022

 

Mercury retrograde is the most popular of all astrological events and easily so. It happens 3 to 4 times yearly and comes in boldly, with enough effect to go round. For anyone who might find the first 2 sentences strange, Mercury is the planet believed to control aspects of life like communication and travel. In the more precise words of Wikipedia, Mercury governs schooling and education, the immediate environment of neighbours, siblings and cousins, transport over short distances, messages and forms of communication such as post, email and telephone, newspapers, journalism and writing, information gathering skills and physical dexterity.

When this planet is said to be retrograding (which is that it slows down in movement and from earth's perspective it seems like it is moving backwards) all of these areas it is said to govern are somehow affected. It is currently said to be retrograding in the sign of Aquarius and even more interesting, it is happening while the love planet Venus is retrograding in Capricorn. A lot of changes are likely to be amiss and probably feels chaotic (as with all crucial changes) but here I am telling you that change is good and in my usual words, it is all happening for you: you special human placed to enjoy this beautiful view from an endless voyage.

I hope these 22 affirmations help you remain grounded in your power as we experience these life changing cosmic events together 💜💜💜💜💜
