With the planet of communications, Mercury, being in retrograde again, we're faced with the ago old question: Have you learned the lesson yet? I've come to realize the positive power of the yearly and quarterly visits that Mercury affords me. It's a time to reflect on unfinished business in our relationships, be they platonic or intimate, and allows for reviewing the areas that need to improve or cut the partnership off entirely because it's lost its original purpose. How many of us move through life oblivious to the cast of characters we interact with? We assume all is well with you both, when actually, things aren't. Hey, if no one's complaining, then things must be alright. Right? Wrong. I'll share some personal insights with you below that I use to work with this energy.
The retrogrades (retro, to go back) afford us prime opportunities to take time to reevaluate our unions, check in with them, and make necessary adjustments or difficult choices regarding them. When issues are left unchecked, we're putting off the work needed to create balance in a shared space. Ignoring red flags and outright verbal complaints will only make the situation worse, causing further harm and resentment in the end. I know that I've been on both sides of the equation, and neither feels good. During this particular retrograde, I invite you to do a deep dive into your relationships. What needs to be addressed? Where do you repeat toxic behavioral patterns you experienced in your youth by the adults in your environment? These unhealed wounds will cause us to wound those close to us. This is why hurt people, hurt people.
Give yourself permission to feel any leftover pain, resentment, anxiety, and confusion, you encountered throughout your youth. One of the major reasons people will gravitate towards their mates is due to unhealed psycho-emotional issues still fresh in our aura, although we think it's nonexistent. Like attracts like, no matter the packaging. In my last relationship, I remember the exact moment, seeing that my partner and I connected because we shared similar unhealed childhood wounds. This was enough to begin the painful process of ending the union (toxic as it was) and start a long (several years) healing journey. I harbor no resentment towards him because he was a great teacher who reflected back to me the unconscious conditioning and suffering I was carrying around well into my adulthood unions. This afforded me to see parts of me that needed attention in releasing and loving. For this, I am grateful.
Life lessons are the most difficult to learn because they're given according to us individually. None of us perceive life and grow at the same pace, which makes it all the more challenging. Here's why we must be patient and compassionate when we are healing (healing hurts). Give yourself permission to ask the hard questions and to receive the truth, which in itself can be painful at times, but it will liberate us in the end. So during Mercury Retrogrades, it's imperative to take accountability and responsibility for your well-being. What themes are still paying out in your partnerships (retro, to go back) that leave you feeling lackluster or downright frustrate? Where do you need to build stronger boundaries and limits within your unions so you don't end up lost in each other's emotions, which creates a toxic environment? Furthermore, be patient with those around you because they may be facing some challenging issues that they're healing.
And finally, bring in the energy of forgiving yourself. Why yourself? So you don't end up repeating the same situations moving forward. When you get to the place in your personal evolution where you understand that all of us are connected in some way, shape, and form, is the moment to forgive yourself for being asleep at the wheel. That's true compassion and self-love. Now you understand (are wise to) that what you give to yourself is what you're able to give freely to others. Forgiveness is the releasing of the old wounded you and recognizing the new healed version. Our inner world is a reflection of our outer world. When we have our interior in order and alignment for our highest good, we'll attract everything that validates it. People, places, and things. Like the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. What areas of your life do you wish to improve? Where are you stuck in a repetitive cycle? Do you have the courage to make the changes?
