Tackling this season's Mercury Retrograde

-

We are already 1 week into the first mercury retrograde of this year, can you tell? Well, I sure can! But, I am here to provide you with information all about this mercury retrograde in Pisces and how we're going to make it through. 

What is a Mercury Retrograde?

Several times out of the year, Mercury goes into retrograde, which means that it is moving in an opposite direction to the Earth. Once Mercury turns to move from west to east (as opposed to the usual east to west) it is in retrograde. From Earth, it appears that Mercury is moving backwards, but this is actually an illusion. 

Astrologically speaking, Mercury is associated with communication, traveling, coordination, technology, and even thought processes. Due to the appearance of  change in Mercury's planetary movement, the retrograde is said to cause bad luck and issues such as car problems, relationship problems, and flight cancellations.

What does this mean for you? 

Have you been experiencing any of the following:

  • lack of motivation
  • random mishaps
  • a lack of self assurance 
  • electronic issues
  • random traveling mishaps
  • poor communication
  • general bad luck
If so, you could be experiencing the effects of the mercury retrograde? Due to the retrograde being in Pisces, poor communication and misunderstandings are to be highly expected.


How to get through this Mercury Retrograde


  • learn to adapt
    • Things that you were not expecting may get in the way a lot and learning to not catastrophize a situation will be beneficial. Instead of focusing on how bad the situation is and what bad things will come from it, put your thoughts toward finding a solution.  
  • Plan ahead
    • Make sure to be prepared for flight delays or cancellations. Pay attention to any lights being displayed on your dash or any weird noise that your car is making. Plan on leaving extra early to important events. This can ensure that even if something goes wrong, you're prepared. 
  • Think Positively
    • I know that this can be easier said than done, but negative thoughts can really take over during this time. Keep looking at the good in situations and trust the universe. Remember that your thoughts can determine your future outcomes and you could end up magnifying the bad luck that the retrograde may bring you.   
  • Do Not Rush
    • Try not to rush things during this time. It will have a higher chance of not going in your favor during this time and you will not be prepared for issues that may arise. 
  • Cast Good Luck Spells
    • Casting a spell for good luck may help to counter act the effects of the retrograde. Maybe even creat a little luck satchel to carry around.  
What are the Mercury retrogrades for 2019?

March 5-28, in Pisces
July 7-31, starts in Leo and ends in Cancer
October 31- November 20 in Scorpio

Try to not schedule huge events or big trips during these times or make any huge purposes, such as buying a car. Also, it may feel better to know that you're not just randomly going through bad luck and that there may be a reason. 

Thanks for reading my post and happy spell casting!

6 Ways to Incorporate Witchcraft into your Morning Routine

Waking up is really hard for me. But, by incorporating witchcraft into my mornings, I look forward to getting out of bed. With these simple steps, I really set my attentions for the day and start off with a good mindset. Now, I know it seems idealistic to do all these things first thing in the morning, but you should really try it! Make a morning routine for yourself incorporating magick (you could use my tips or come up with your own!) and try to stick with it for at least 21 days. 1) Morning meditation           - By doing a morning meditation you can start off the day feeling grounded and focused. It doesn't have to be long, maybe just 5 minutes even. 2) Shower with intention          - Magickal showers are one of my favorite things! You can incorporate magick into your shower by setting the mood (with candles or music) and focus on what you manifest for the day. If I take a shower during the morning, I use this time to manifest. If I take a shower at night, I use

      Herbs are an essential part to a lot of witch's crafts. Finding fresh herbs can be expensive and locating dried herbs can be annoying. Also, for most places, you have no idea where these items came from. Creating your own herb garden can connect you more with nature, provide you with fresh items for your craft, and give the therapeutic effects of gardening. However, growing plants can be easier said than done and that is why I am here to provide you four beginner friendly plants to get you started.  Mint I have been growing sweet mint for the past couple years and even when I have been neglectful to my plants, this one always makes a comeback. It is by far the easiest plant that I have grown and it is very useful in your craft.  Growing Mint Mint is fast growing and will take over any garden quickly. This is why I suggest leaving it in it's own pot. Plant mint in the spring or the fall, when there is no chance of frost. Plant seedlings 18 to 24 inche
