So why am I telling you this? Well, Feng Shui is not just about moving furniture around... It is about energy and your surroundings, whether that is furniture, a car, trees, a beach, a mountain, your health, your inner thoughts and so on. When Mercury is in retrograde it is a time for introspection, learning and can also be a challenging time. As with all things, the more open you are to learn the less challenging one will find it.

What are you going to be learning? This particular cycle involves learning about relationships and accountability. Situations will come up in your life during this time frame regarding relationships and accountability and this is your chance to finish with those lessons, by being conscious of your decisions and thoughts. Your actions will determine whether or not you keep repeating certain relationship and accountability patterns.

Since Mercury is a planet of communication how does that affect us here on earth?(besides the lessons one will learn or continue to struggle with) Well, you may have noticed some changes in the last 10 days, with things such as more car accidents on the road, phones going in and out, communication misunderstandings, cars breaking down, all types of communication can be affected by a Mercury in retrograde.

Meditate to help understand the different situations that come to you during this retrograde.
