Being the almost psychic, emotional center of the zodiac, you may experience turmoil while the planets are retrograde. Your eighth house, which deals with emotional connections and transformation, is affected by this retrograde, so your ability to feel will likely be put to the test in close relationships.
How to navigate and advance through this retrograde: It might be both an advantage and a curse that you are already an emotional person. You can create strong emotional attachments because of your unique capacity to tune into other people’s feelings, but you can also become overpowered by the weight of your own and other people’s emotions. Have profound compassion for yourself during the Mercury retrograde and allow your feelings to surface, be recognized, and then be let go of without condemnation. It’s time to learn to respect your own energy, therefore don’t be afraid to withdraw from contacts or conversations that are depleting it.
Engage in crystal communication, especially with your spirit stone, the ruby, and recite soothing, uplifting mantras like:
- “The world embraces me when I value myself.
- “I let go of any forces and narratives that aren’t in line with my highest good.
