Crystals For Mercury Retrograde

Crystals For Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde occurs when Mercury appears to stop moving in the night sky, and then starts moving backwards. This is actually an optical illusion, and is caused by the fact that Mercury orbits the Sun faster than the Earth does! When we see it like this, it gives us a chance to reflect on things we may have done incorrectly in our lives.

Mercury rules areas of life such as communication, travel and commerce. It also rules over mind and thinking, which is why the Retrograde period causes things like miscommunication and misunderstandings. We all make mistakes, but during Mercury Retrograde it’s important to think before we speak, as our words may not be taken the right way! It’s really hard at this time to judge what people are thinking or their motivations behind certain actions.

We become more introspective during this cycle. We may feel like withdrawing or like spending time alone to process things in our mind. This is a good indication that we need to slow down and take some time out for ourselves to rest and recuperate, and also to focus on the thinking aspect of Mercury’s domain (which includes study).
