March Mercury Retrograde 2019
It began March 5 and will go direct on March 28, having spent the entire time in Pisces. Mercury rules thought and communication, add the watery influence of Pisces, and communication and thinking can be overwrought with emotionalism.
During this retrograde the full moon was a supermoon, and it occurred simultaneously with the vernal equinox. That is a lot of energy!
Although we tend to focus on the negative side of Mercury retrogrades (and this one seems particularly disruptive to communication networks of all kinds and to our emotional fragility), there is another perspective.
“Try to see things differently – It’s the only way to get a clearer perspective on the world and on your life.” ~Neal Shusterman
Mercury retrogrades provide an opportunity to slow down, to focus inward, to self-reflect. They offer copious circumstances for practicing patience. They can reveal things we need to change; in our way of thinking and our way of communicating.
Communication challenges, for example, can lead to relationship breakthroughs, and assist us in finding more authentic expression.
It is a great time to examine our communication style in both our outer and inner world. How do you talk to yourself? Are you kind, compassionate, loving and supportive? How do you talk to others? Is it different than your inner dialogue?
“We all get so caught up in the moment of what we are doing everyday, it’s hard to hit the reset button and get pulled away from all that and see life from a different perspective.” ~Tony Stewart
