And where you wonder why everything's been going wrong lately? From work, love affairs, family and so on, there is a weird mood all over the place, with so much inconsistency, small fights, and tension but also funny games and surprises that sometimes you wish life was trolling you. And that's where someone comes up to you and says, "It’s Mercury in retrograde," and that explains it all. June’s full moon on the 24th may be so close but by then the retrograde of Mercury -this weird type of guy planet- is orbiting to upset us.

But what does that really mean? You don't need to know about astrology if you show little faith in energy and how it is transmitted, but also keep in mind that each one of us has different planetary map thus the retrograde paths of planets affect us individually and massively as we belong to a wider and more complex astrological system. So, if we had to clarify what we have to do -or don’t while Mercury is retrograde, we’ d definitely start with the dont's.

DONT’S

Generally, it's not a good time to make important decisions, so if you're starting something new now or thinking about investing in something of your own, try to delay it a little bit as the retrograde Mercury tends to put obstacles in our way. Don't start a new relationship in a hurry and don't end another more stable if you have second thoughts and if on the other hand, you're single don't worry that the universe doesn't make him send. Of course, keep and eye and try to stay away from former and old toxic relationships -yes all kinds- as this retrograde course of Mercury tends to revives memories either good and bad.

DO’S

Not everything has just one side, and you know it. There is also the good side of Mercury's retrograde that makes us look at ourselves and internalize our thoughts and goals so that we can reflect more positive energy to what is happening to us. Unlike the professional and personal relationships that will be tricky and full of turbulence, it is a great time to deal with your home and its decoration, do some shopping that will bring you joy, prepare your summer holidays on the island, and pay more attention to people and situations that truly fulfill you. Don't let what the retrograded Mercury of the planets brings to affect you and give yourself precious moments to relax. A warm spa type bath, meditation sessions during the day, aromatherapy with candles and oils as well as rewarding you with a drink or food with friends will lift your mood instantly.

Until next time your stars will be shinning again #nothinker

With love
