Mercury retrograde always brings energy of need to slow down, self-reflection, understanding your past and present, the trajectory of your life, what are your priorities, cutting away any access energy that feels overwhelming for your everyday life.

  So, if you don’t have the ability or intention to slow down by yourself, there can be push from the universe to do that which may be uncomfortable.

This particular Mercury retrograde in Cancer brings the themes of emotional healing, healing of past trauma, vulnerability and sharing, need for privacy, time alone, rejuvenation of the emotional body, childhood memories and childhood friends, trauma, aspects of your past to understand more deeply, time for self-care and nurturing.

Also, there is an awakening and need to enhance your psychic senses – especially clairsentience and clairvoyance (clear seeing). At this time pay attention to your intuition and tap into your spirit for messages which can show you the way forward.

Ask yourself some questions in your journal  ✎

- Which psychic senses am I feeling more strongly and working for me?

- Do you neglect or push away your emotions? Why and what what way?

- Do you notice how some people make you feel? Why?

- What are your favourite self-love and self care practices?

As Mercury is about communication, knowledge, friendship, business, when it is in Cancer you are invited to connect through and with your heart, accept your feelings without judgement, reflect on them and learn important lessons about your past relationships.

It is not the time to push things forward and be very active.

Angelic Astrology - Mercury retrograde in Pisces ♓ -26 February- 20 March

 

Here I`ll discuss the significance and meaning of the Mercury retrograde in Pisces with the help of my angels. 

This year Mercury retrograde is in the final zodiac sign of Pisces which indicates important closing of chapter, period of preparation, closing a cycle and letting go of the old. Some deep realizations may come, also truths are coming to light. 

The major theme of this Mercury retrograde is letting go of old, negative believes and illusions of the mind.

Mercury retrograde always brings time for slowing down, self-reflection and revision of the past (months, year) which is valid especially for your communications, friendships, business, travels, social media, writing, knowledge.

The signs who will be mostly affected by the energy of this retrograde are Virgo, Gemini (with ruling planet Mercury), Pisces and Sagittarius. You need to see in which house is Pisces sign for you.

Mercury is planet which can affect many spheres as travel, airplanes, technology, internet and social media, phones, devices, also your money transactions, media, writing, education and knowledge, schools. So you are invited to slow down and remove any pressure of the mind with this retrograde.

Pisces is the sign of release and letting go, of spiritual connection and going inward, psychic awakening, dreams and relaxation, water travel, creative expression, paining and spiritual writing. In this time we have great opportunity to start being intentional about our time alone, in meditation, letting your emotions speak, journaling, going to places in nature -especially lake, river or sea. This is perfect time o dive into the deep waters of your spiritual self, discovering your psychic gifts and feel what aspects of your life are not in alignment with your higher purpose.

Mercury is related to your Throat chakra and in this time we receive special light blue energy from the core of this planet- so it is recommended to meditate on your Throat area. The angel who you can call on to help you clear and heal aspects of your life related to clutter, deception and lies, hypocritical behaviour, dishonesty in communication – are archangel Raphael and Gabriel.

Together with the Throat chakra, pay attention to your Crown chakra which is your connection to the divine. You can visualize at the top of your head opening and glowing blue-white lotus of light. This lotus is your divine spark and energy that can transmute all negativity outside of you.

In this Mercury retrograde you will be in state of dissolving the old self, it can come as strange dreams, or triggering experiences, but also as upgrades for your chakras and energy. Many souls can start to awaken their gifts of clear knowing and clairaudience, connecting to their angels and guides.

Crystals that are very helpful for cleansing at this time are: aquamarine, amazonite, angelite, selenite, green and blue fluorite, green aventurine, green moss agate, green jade. Surround yourself with these crystals, or meditate with one of them for healing and guidance.

Drawing, painting and creating any kind of art is amazing during this time, as it will make your energy flourish.

This Mercury retrograde is not a good time for: starting renovation, buying technology, buying or selling property, re-location, travel by ship or airplane, being in conflict situation, signing contracts.

This is a perfect time to meditate, be in a hermit mode, reiki healing, thinking about your diet and food, detox of your body, take days away from devices and social media, stay away from news. Also, great time for being with close friend or a loved one and making things together – like art, watching movie, going to cinema, theatre, museum.
