Mercury is retrograde for another two weeks.

When Mercury is retrograde we enter a period that fosters introspection about how we communicate. During this window we can become more aware of the energy behind our words and consciously choose how we communicate, in being present and becoming an active listener.

Should you be feeling distracted, as if your mind is racing, you’re unable to focus or you find you need to ask endless draining questions in order to gain clarity, recognise you are allowing shadow Mercury too much power and control.

Without beating yourself up, simply acknowledge it is so. Once you acknowledge without engaging in the emotions or judgment you open yourself to clear and focused communication, to bring balance to the shadow and reclaim personal power.

Our shadow can become our greatest personal power when it’s recognised, acknowledged and integrated.
