Hi Reader!

How’s eclipse season going for you?

I’ve spent the last week in Cancun, so it’s gone pretty well for me so far. Every time I go to the beach, I wonder why my whole life is based in the beautiful land-locked state of Colorado. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mercury is going retrograde on Monday

Anyway, back to the astrology…this coming Monday, April Fool’s Day, Mercury will be going retrograde in 27 degrees of Aries. It will go direct on April 25th, so most of April will be a Mercury retrograde period.

When a planet goes retrograde, that means from our perspective on Earth, it’s moving backwards.

That also means it’s going back over the same area it was just in and repeating the aspects it just made.

Have you ever left a party to go to your car, only to realize you forgot your keys? So you go back in. But of course, you can’t just grab your keys and leave.

Because your friend Courtney wants to revisit the conversation you were having about her new boyfriend. And then as soon as you’re done talking to her, your friend Jenna stops you to continue your discussion about the values misalignment in your business. By the time you leave, you have more information about both topics and think about them differently than you did before.

That’s what Mercury retrograde does for us – it gives us time to revisit and review our thoughts, ideas, and the way we communicate. This is a great time to slow down and re-evaluate.

Time to pick a tarot card.

How will you approach this time of review, reflection, and re-evaluation? Pick a tarot card to receive the energy your guides want you to bring into this Mercury retrograde period.

I hope your tarot pull helps you approach this time of reflection with greater consciousness and self-compassion. Retrogrades and slow downs are meant to be a part of the human experience, so I hope you can embrace this Mercury retrograde period!

Here’s to you and your intuition,
