Debbie Nuccio Durrough is one of my favorite teachers. Earlier in the year I took a class in spiritual painting. She passed out information on Mercury Retrograde, just as my house was going on the market. The first deal turned out to be a sham. We finally put a good deal together–after the Mercury Retrograde period had passed! Enjoy this article from Debbie. If you live in Southern California, I highly recommend her classes. ~ Dana Taylor

Pre-Mercury Retrograde: 9/19 – 10/2/14

Mercury Retrograde Dates:  10/3 – 10/24/14

Post Mercury Retrograde Period: 10/25 – 11/10/14

Planet Mercury (rules communication and machinery)

Definition of “Retrograde” ~ to move or seem to move backwards

The planet Mercury is retrograde three to four times a year

In 2014, Mercury retrogrades three times, all beginning in water signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio, and then back into air signs.

A Time, Season, and Reason…The energies during this Mercury Retrograde support balancing and healing your body, mind, and spirit. Take this time to R-E-L-A-X, RELEASE, and REPLENISH.  The energies support Tuning In To Your Inner Wisdom and reflecting on any repeating patterns in your life that are getting in the way of you expressing your true self. It is the season of Rest, Reflection, Review, Revision, Reconcile, Revision and all the other “Re” words except react!

For most people it is not the best time to start anything new, make new commitments or purchase new appliances, electronics, equipment, vehicles, etc. I say for most people because if you are NOT taking the time to rest, replenish, revisit, revise, reconcile, etc., you may feel like everything is out of sorts and/or out of control. Any area of your life that is out of balance can feel like you are experiencing what some refer to as Murphy’s Law. Think of this period as your introspection time.

 

With regards to Mercury Retrograde and all forms of communication and/or machinery (i.e. vehicles, appliances, computer, printer, cell phone, Facebook, twitter, etc.), don’t panic when “life happens.”  If you can’t wait to fix and/or purchase a new item, it’s OK to fix it and/or purchase a new item.  Just make sure you understand the return policy and all warranties.  Taking a little break from cell phone, texting, Facebook, twitter, etc. may prove to be beneficial because the energies support you in Resting, Replenishing, Reflecting, Revising, etc.

 

It may be helpful to know that for some, starting something “new” under a Mercury Retrograde typically fizzles out and/or at best can be frustrating due to the timing being off or the many changes and/or revisions that will come up.  However, do remember it is an excellent time to Revisit, Revise, and Re-invent yourself, your work, complete anything that was already started, clear out and let go of anything (person, place, or thing) that isn’t working in your life, and Revisit, Resolve, and Reconcile your past and past relationships.

 

Mercury Retrograde at times seems to bring challenges with all forms of communication: written, verbal, electronically, postal, legal, and it also can slow down how we process information, thoughts and mess with our short term memory (i.e. “What was I going to say/do, etc.”)

 

If any legal issues come up that can’t be delayed until after Mercury goes direct, make sure you read and re-read all contracts, legal documents, obtain legal assistance, and be flexible as moving forward it may need to be changed or revised.  Traveling during a Mercury Retrograde?  Allow enough time and have a backup plan as it is possible to experience delays and/or lost luggage.  

REMEMBER…Mercury Retrograde is the perfect time to:

 

Tune Out and TUNE IN

R-E-S-T…RELAX…REPLENISH…

Balance Your Body, Mind,

Connect with old friends and/or people from your past

Finish anything you started

Clear out clutter and get organized

Pay old debts

Keep your promises

Keep your integrity in check

Seeking employment? Revise your Resume and Reapply and Resubmit job applications

Reflect on the repeating dysfunctional patterns in your life (i.e. same

problem different face, here I go again, or why is this happening again, etc.)

Meditate ~Tune Out and Tune In

Reflect, Relax, Review, Revisit, Re-vise, Re-do, Re-turn, Re-trace, Re-issue, Re-wind, Reapply, Replenish, Release, Reconcile, Rejuvenate, and all of the other words beginning with “Re” EXCEPT “React.” If you find yourself “reacting,” take a deep breath and remember that you and all concerned are at risk for being misunderstood (due to challenges with all forms of communication).
