The year 2018 will represent strong cosmic activity. We
already witnessed the huge power of the lunar eclispe and it was just the
beginning. People who love astrology know that 2018 is a year of radical
changes, the moon will show its strong power a couple of more times, and Mercury
will go into retrograde on 3 separate occasions. The three separate occasions
will be in spring, summer and winter.
Like we already said, the cosmic energy is a great
motivator, booster and refreshment, and this year you will have the perfect
chance to apply serious changes in your life or move ahead and detach from all
things that make you unhappy.
It is important to note that the energy during Mercury
Retrograde often presents itself by turning everything on its head. It will
bring confusion, disarray, and chaos, all of which can easily take over our
lives if we allow it to. In order to ‘master’ Mercury Retrograde and come out
ahead, experts recommend that you avoid starting any major projects, making
life-changing decisions our purchasing any valuable electronics. In fact, if
you can limit your dependency on technology during this time that would be
advisable as many experience technological failures, breakdowns and bugs.
The fammous astrologer Anna Payne discussed the effects of
Mercury retrograde and has some important reccomendations and following tips to
help you survive these times and use the benefit of the retrograde:
#1 – Take a deep breath; this won’t last forever.
#2 – Slow down, take your time, and pay attention to
details.
#3 – Take care of anything that requires reevaluation &
revision; this is a good way to channel this energy positively.
#4 – If you need to heal something from the past or connect
to someone from the past? This is a good time to do it. This phase gives us a
chance to retrace our steps and go revisit old ground.
#5 – Observe, review, and release. Remember to breathe!
First Retrograde: March 22 – April 15
This retrograde will be in the sign of Aries and it will
represent a trigger that will activate serious emotional disbalance inside your
soul. You will be confused, impulsive, rash in decisions and careless of the
consequences. However, you will have the chance to feel and see how others
truly see you and feel you. You will be given the chance to see the things with
clarity and fix all of the social connections and relationships with people.
Anyway, the pressure will be strong. You just need to remember that the time is
limited and remain patient.
Second Retrograde: July 25 – August 11
This retrograde will occur in Leo. You think this will be
any different? No. Even more tension, drama, disagreements and annoyances. The
energy of this retrograde will certainly affect the social connection and
mental side of our personality. However, you must remain patient and tranquil-
things must not get out of control because there is a chance to escalate in
total catastrophe. Try not to take anything personally and always avoid toxic
people.
Third Retrograde: November 1 – December 6
Unlike the others, this retrograde will represent passion
and excitment. It will be a true transition into Scorpio. The negativity in the
first two will be switched with pure passion and creativity. This is a good
time to grow as a person or just learn a couple of new things.
