Mercury Retrograde in Aries 4/1/24-4/25/24

The Tower tarot card from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

This week, retrograde Mercury in Aries brings a shift in energy that may cause disruptions in communication, thinking, travel, and technology. It’s a time to slow down, be cautious with your words, and carefully review your plans before taking action.

It’s not advisable to start new projects or make announcements if you can help it. However, it is an opportune time to make adjustments and/or to complete existing projects. Over the next three weeks, use the Aries energy constructively by channeling it towards knocking out your to-do list!

People and situations from the past may re-surface, (hello April Fool’s Day!) or you may find an all too familiar theme comes back around (same scenario, different actors). Initially, it may trigger your emotions, but take a deep breath. Pause and consider what your initial reaction is telling you about yourself. This is a profound opportunity for self-reflection and healing.

Remember, people are going to do what they are going to do. Therefore, it is our responsibility to address our own internal wounds so that we are not continuously impacted by others words and actions. Change your own internal dialogue and you will change the entire game.

On the flip-side, a second chance at a previously missed opportunity may come back around. Keep an open mind, but don’t commit or sign anything until after April 25th if at all possible.

The tarot card I pulled for you all is The Tower:

The next three weeks is a major turning point for you! While I do not recommend implementing major life changes during Mercury retrograde, you can use this time to reflect on where you are ready to make some positive, transformative changes. Particularly, if a situation is not as stable as you prefer, you may find you are ready to invest your time and energy into something more solid. Others of you may decide to scrap a design, project or idea completely, and start over in May.

Lastly, The Tower can reflect a sudden insight that leads to a profound breakthrough in one’s conscious awareness. Consider it a “cosmic road opener” that sets you free from self-limiting beliefs or patterns that have been impeding your success.

Have a great week! ❤

Tarot forecast 9/5-9/11/22: Shadows, light, mercury retrograde

Two of swords, the moon & the sun reversed

Hi everyone! Here is your tarot forecast for 9/5-9/11/22:

The moon continues to increase its frequency as it travels through the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces this week, ending its waxing cycle with the full moon in the sign of mysterious Pisces on Saturday. The full moon occurs the day after Mercury goes into retrograde. A full moon and mercury retrograde so close together can certainly pack a “one-two punch”, which can catch us off guard. But this cosmic energy is being nicely balanced with both the Sun and Venus in the practical earth sign of Virgo. Slow down, stay calm and you’ll be fine. Let’s get to the reading…

Moon in Capricorn: Two of swords. At the beginning of the week, it would seem that some of you are at a crossroads of some sort resulting in a temporary stalemate. There are two options, but which one is correct? You may seek or receive advice from trusted source(s), but ultimately it is your decision. This will not go away on its own, it could even become more difficult as time goes on. So, a plan of action or a choice will be necessary. It is important that YOU make the decision to avoid having someone or a circumstance make it for you. You got this. Find a quiet space without distractions so you can think clearly. Drop into your heart space and tune into your intuition. Put your psychic antennas up, higher guidance is available if you ask for it.

Moon in Aquarius: The Moon. Things may get a little darker towards the middle of the week as the energies progress from the two of swords to The Moon. Shadow and light, dreams, illusions, lies, truth. The Moon in Aquarius can be strange indeed, and let’s not forget we have Mercury Retrograde peeking around the corner! Texts and emails should be proofread more than once before sending. Conversations and/or oral agreements should be followed up in writing to avoid misunderstandings. Trust your instincts, if something appears “off” make a note of it. Do yourself a favor and keep idle chit chat to a minimum this week, especially at work. The potential is there for you or maybe someone else, to inadvertently overshare. As well, do not partake in any kind of gossip or drama, as it could escalate quickly. Look at the image in this card. See how the crawfish is following the path laid out before it? My advice to you is along those same lines. Stay in your own lane as much as possible. You’ll be glad you did!

Moon in Pisces: The Sun reversed. The Sun is still the sun, but when it is in the reversed position, it indicates there could be a few clouds in the forecast. I feel the end of the week is when a decision, truth or information may come to light. It may not be exactly the outcome that you would have preferred, but you are still A-okay. Things are still on track, but there may be a delay. With Mercury retrograde fresh and active, perhaps something needs to be re-evaluated or reviewed again before proceeding further. The Sun, whether upright or reversed is a good sign. You end the week, much more savvy and confident than when you started. Have a great week everyone! 😊❤️🌙🌕♑️♒️♓️
