It’s almost Mercury Retrograde time again! I heard some of you groan and few of you moan. I love mercury in Retro as it shows me what needs to be looked at in my projects. It is also a time to slow down and read the fine print, clear things up, and get yourself ready for the new year with a clean slate.<\/p>\n

Hopefully you have started your Christmas shopping or preparing for the holidays you celebrate and have a plan because our next Mercury Retro is December 3 to 23rd. If you don’t be prepared to practice a bit of patience as things will probably not go according to plan. If you find Mercury Retrograde\u00a0a bit of a challenge, release some of the need for control. It is best to take a deep breath and just let things be for a bit more.<\/p>\n

I love that\u00a0mercury retrograde reminds me to slow down.\u00a0 I approach projects and tasks with a clear head and focus so that I can get things done.\u00a0 While I might do things a bit slower, I don’t let mercury retro stop me. It is still a time of action, I just put more thought into it. I embrace that I must be patient and be sure to read the small print. It is a good reminder of how to approach things in the first place so that I am doing a lot less ‘redoing’.<\/p>\n

Clear out your closets and get rid of things you don’t need or use. It is a great time to make way for the new enter and the perfect time make new goals. There is such a great sense of satisfaction when you clear out the old. It just might surprise you how refreshing the energy it brings.<\/p>\n

This Mercury Retrograde is in the sun sign of Sagittarius.\u00a0\u00a0Sagittarius focuses on expansion, optimism and the sense of adventure. Mercury is the ruler of communications and technology. Mercury Retrograde occurs when it\u00a0appears to be\u00a0moving backwards in our sky.\u00a0 During this time,\u00a0communication, scheduling, transportation and judgment becomes cloudy or error prone.\u00a0As much as outer work is challenged by Mercury Retrograde, introspection and inner work is very supported. Take advantage of Mercury Retrograde by clearing your own tendencies to get caught up in your own shadows and those of others.<\/p>\n

Trust your inner knowing at this time. Don’t over analyze, but pay attentions to the details. This is a great time to take care of things, take a break, clear stuff up.<\/p>\n

Your Angel Guidance is to use the time when we have Mercury Retrograde to clear up things:<\/h4>\n

This is the best time to slow down and take care of things that have been piling up. You are about to enter a new year, a new cycle in life and you don’t want to carry into it the baggage from past. Use this time to recycle, reevaluate, review, and reflect. Take the time so that you are doing a lot less of the Re-doing, retracing, and retreating in the next phase.<\/p>\n

Tons of love, Sharon and the angels xoxox<\/p>\n
