Mercury Retrograde - When Technology and the Cosmos Collide

in #spirituality7 years ago (edited)

From missing emails to crappy internet connections, starting on December 3rd-22nd user be AWARE! I know I know, what in the HECK am I talking about? Welp, in true @nocodinggenius fashion we are talking about all things spirituality and technology. Let’s break this down step by step.

What is a Retrograde?

“Retrograde motion is an APPARENT change in the movement of the planet through the sky. It is not REAL in that the planet does not physically start moving backwards in its orbit. It just appears to do so because of the relative positions of the planet and Earth and how they are moving around the Sun.”

What does it mean for Mercury to be in Retrograde?

“Several times a year, it appears as if Mercury is going backwards. These times in particular were traditionally associated with confusions, delay, and frustration.”

In what ways will this affect technology usage? Here’s the TL;DR from bustle.com 

  1. Your electronic devices may crash for no reason 
  2. Files can disappear
  3. Text messages might get misconstrued
  4. Email suddenly becomes a dangerous game
  5. Wi-Fi goes on the fritz

How do we handle all of this and remain sane in the process?

  1. Be gentle with yourself and others
  2. Take a moment and reflect on what really is transpiring versus making assumptions
  3. Plan accordingly and be patient 

Also, note that this Mercury Retrograde is happening at the same time as the Super Moon and both fall in Gemini.

"Gemini's ruling planet is Mercury, which rules communication. Things, which is to say things related to relaying messages on any medium, might get a little tangled. The stars might have your tongue, so just think thoughts through before blurting them out. If things seem to get whacky, just take a deep breath...Just keep an eye on pesky retrograde Mercury. Not because it's here to ruin your day, week, month, life — just because it forces you to make more responsible, thorough decisions, basically."

How will YOU be handling this retrograde? Do you have any spiritual practices that help you during this time? Is this your first time hearing of this concept? Let's chat about it below!
