--and realized I bought my travel trailer during Mercury Retrograde. I know that there is advice not to do business during this time, but it was TIME for me to do this. There were a lot of delays and unexpected developments, but I sort of went with the flow of events. I had to stay at friends while it was being worked on, but in the end I was rewarded for my patience.
When you think about it, most of the complaints about Mercury retrograde have to do with machines, ego conflicts, and our expectations and our plans taking an unexpected turn--so I wonder if the retrograde period is about learning how to let go of control. Just a question.
To me retrogrades are the yin cycle of planets--the energy of that planet is not available to help us as much in the world, but is shifted to assist us in contemplation, meditation, dreams and inner work (I cannot remember whether or not I learned this from reading Stephen Arroyo... ). Yin energy to me is about letting go to the void, the unknown and potential of the All.
I think there are ways to harmonize with even harsh planetary aspects, they are opportunities to learn. At least this is what I keep telling myself!!
