Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. In mythology and cosmic lore, Mercury (also known as Hermes, Thoth, and other names) is the divine messenger and cosmic alchemist. So it is understandable that communications and messages of all sorts would be affected by this event. During a Mercury Retrograde, the planet Mercury, when viewed from Earth, appears to be moving backward in its rotation relative to our Earth. Mercury is not actually moving backward in its rotation. It just appears as such to us here on Earth as we view it from our perspective. It does, nevertheless, send out strong cosmic vibrations that affect everything with which it vibrates or communicates.
So what can we do to ease the confusion of Mercury Retrograde? Well, there are many things that can be of benefit. We can avoid beginning new projects, signing contracts, etc. as the conventional wisdom dictates. We can use this time to work on finishing or perfecting older projects; we can go within to receive the wisdom (comunication) from our higher selves, our guides, our angels, etc. But forewarned is forearmed! And we can use our knowledge of the crystalline kingdom to navigate successfully through a Mercury Retrograde!
There are many crystals that can assist us through this transit. I will highlight some of my favorites that are also widely available to all. Many of you already have these crystals. So now is the time to put your crystal wisdom to work! Dust off your crystals that have been sitting on your shelf and let's get down to it! Shall we?
