Halloween Mercury Retrograde

I’m not a big fan of scare tacts for the sake of marketing and media. It is used as a tool to drive our society to fall for click bate news articles and misleads many into the depths of shallow facebook debates. Instead of seeing it as a weakness, it provides us an opportunity to be more mindful and not fall prey to the illusion of mass media and marketing tacts which are intent on having us buy more products or make impulse actions that essential drive separation. We live in a time where separation and indifference is an epidemic. What I find even more disheartening is no one is immune because every human being has inherited the human condition. It is the fact of this time-space reality, a virtual reality that science has theorized is a holographic projection. The fun question is who is in control of the projector?

When we look up at the stars we feel a connection, something bigger, something God-like pulling us into wonderment and mystery that our human brains can’t quite figure out. Modern-day astrology has now become a stock market investment (the co-star app recently received 5.2 million in seed funding) and most people who follow astrology aren’t looking up at the actual sky anymore, but rather down at their phones. And what the cosmos would like to remind us, as we enter into the Halloween Mercury Retrograde is that being here now, present with the wonderment that is the cosmos, the earth, and human connection is really why we are all here together. So tonight stop whatever you are doing and go outside and look up before astrology becomes another click bate gimmick.

We are in a massive growth period and the cosmos will pull out all the stops to wake us up to our inevitable doom, the reality of death and that our experience here on Earth is only temporary. And death is coming… some deaths will be felt through heartbreak, loved ones lost, near-death experiences and others will be a shamanic death, what many refer to in Spiritual communities as the “Dark Night of the Soul.” An extremely uncomfortable and confronting personal awakening. This Halloween Mercury Retrograde promises to be a very different retrograde then our past experiences, and regardless no two experiences are the same because the energy is never the same and we are forever changing human beings.

So what can we expect and how can we do your best to plan for this coming Halloween Mercury Retrograde, because the shadow energy is here, and this goes beyond the typical communications issues or travel delays or technology failures that come with a Mercury Retrograde… each person is impacted individually, however, Mercury retrogrades have much more of a communal effect. First off, a retrograde is when a planet appears to be moving backward in its orbit and in the night sky. It’s like the planet is retreating, traveling backward, moving from one zodiac sign, then turning around and going back to the sign it was just in weeks prior. However, that is not the case with this Halloween Retrograde, like our previous Mercury Retrograde that jumped from Leo to Cancer over the Summer this Halloween Mercury Retrograde is moving forward, backward and forward only in the sign of Scorpio.
