Mercury, You Fickle Little B*tch
If you’ve had electronic or communication hiccups lately, you might be experiencing the effects of Mercury Retrograde. In the latest episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy, Morgan dives deep into this celestial phenomenon and shares her personal experiences and practical tips for navigating these annoying times.
Mercury Retrograde occurs about three times a year, each lasting around three weeks. During this period, Mercury appears to move backward in its orbit, causing disruptions in communication, travel, and electronics. Morgan explains that this is because Mercury is the planet associated with communication, travel, and electronics, and when it goes retrograde, these areas of our lives can go haywire.
In this episode, Morgan emphasizes the importance of not blaming Mercury Retrograde for every mishap in your life. While it can cause significant disruptions, it’s essential to maintain a healthy dose of realism. For example, if you have a headache, it’s more likely due to other factors like stress or dehydration rather than Mercury Retrograde.
One of the most valuable takeaways from this episode is Morgan’s advice on how to survive Mercury Retrograde. Here are some of her top tips:
- Rest and Rejuvenate: Use this time to rest and rejuvenate yourself. Avoid starting new projects and focus on reviewing and refining your existing plans.
- Double-Check Communications: Be extra cautious with your communications. Reread emails and messages before sending them to avoid misunderstandings.
- Prepare for Travel Delays: If you have travel plans, prepare for potential delays. Ensure your vehicle is in good condition and have backup plans in place.
- Backup Electronics: Protect your electronics by backing up important data. Be prepared for potential glitches and malfunctions.
Morgan also shares some personal stories of how Mercury Retrograde has affected her life, from malfunctioning printers to a dying washing machine. These anecdotes not only make the episode relatable but also offer a glimpse into how even seasoned witches deal with these challenges.
So, if you’re feeling the effects of Mercury Retrograde, don’t despair. Tune into this episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy for practical tips and a bit of magickal wisdom to help you navigate these challenging times.
