A Few of My Thoughts on Mercury Retrograde
Kat
Some may say, "I do not allow the negative energies to affect me."
However, whether you are aware of them or not, other energies
(positive and negative) do and always will affect you.
One scenario, you are driving down the street. Someone backs out of a
driveway in front of you. You have a few choices:
1) You can ignore them and keep driving, perhaps crashing into them.
2) You can slow down and wait for them to join you on the road.
3) You can honk at them, make them aware of you, and perhaps give them
a piece of your mind and some less than friendly gestures.
4) You can change the direction you are driving to avoid the situation
completely.
You can say that the person had no affect on you, but obviously they
did. There is no way they could not.
If you continued on your way ignoring and not seeing them, you crashed
into them.
If you noticed them, you took action to avoid the first scenario.
All of the Universe is energy, and is affecting us in ways we may or
may not see and/or feel.
There is clear proof that we are affected by astrological elements.
Our nearest neighbor, the Moon causes extreme changes in the waters of
the earth as it orbits the Earth (high tide, low tide, etc.). We
humans are 70-80% water, why would we also not be affected?
What about the Full Moon? Emergency rooms are filled during a Full
Moon.
What about barometric pressure changes preceding storm fronts? They
seem to fill up maternity wards.
Why, if these energies clearly affect us, whether we "see" the effects
or not, would not macro-energies in the cosmos have affect on us as
well?
Here in this group Switchwords are frequently given and used to
support us as we live our daily lives, to help us deal with the
energies affecting us, known and unknown.
As humans, we are creatures of habit. We like routine. We like it when
everything flows the way we are used to seeing it flow. When an energy
flow changes, we may not realize what it is we are feeling, but we may
feel that something is different, and our first thought often is
something is wrong here. Our second thought often is how can we fix
it?
It is not that something is wrong. It is simply that something has
changed. There is a shift in an energy somewhere.
We are used to planets moving in an orderly fashion. When they seem to
stop and move backwards (go Retrograde) they can send out a confusing
energy to us. Even though we may be consciously unaware of the energy
changes, the shifts are felt within, and often we may attribute them
to something else.
It matters not where or what shifts. It matters only that we, as
humans, are always searching for relief, for comfort, and thus we have
sought out numerous remedies for the discomforts we feel with regard
to shifting energies within and around us.
This group exists as a way to exchange Switchwords, Defusing Words,
Numbers and other things to help each other find relief.
Rhoda has sought to bring awareness of energies that may be affecting
us on unrecognized levels, and remedies to help us to find relief and
comfort when we find ourselves in a space of discomfort.
Thank you Rhoda, for always being there supporting, helping and
forever ferreting out new information, learning and teaching.
All that being said...
Astrological Transit:
November 24: Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio through December 13
Switchphrase to help keep things smooth: HORSESHOE-RESTORE-MOVE-GRASS-
ACT.
This Switchphrase means: Safely move rapidly ahead by restoring
fairness and honesty to clear inertia, make yourself useful and
present yourself well.
AROUND-ENHANCE.
(Gain perspective, open (yourself) and choose to be seen.)
