Mercury Retrograde Fire Walk

By Mara Clear Spring Cook

Today at 5:12 pm Pacific Time we begin the Mercury Retrograde Fire Walk right through April 15. Now, don’t go all cray cray on me! We’ll be fine.

BUT IT SOUNDS SO INTENSE!

Like that’s any different from how it has been? The Year of Magic 2018 defines intense! But, magic is like that. Lots of fire, lots of fireworks…

DON’T I KNOW IT!

Let’s go literal on this. Mercury is the Messenger Planet. Aries is fire, new beginnings, focus on self, more fire… So we have the Messenger, moving backward through Self, what does that tell you?

BIG BLANK OVER HERE

What happens when you walk through the fires of creation?

I DON’T KNOW

You burn! And you change! All through an alchemical process.

THAT SOUNDS UNCOMFORTABLE

Yes. Yes it is. For most of us, there will be not just a searing level of Fire/Masculine energy, but also tides and blockages of Water/Feminine energy. Lava pouring into the ocean. Rain drenching forest fires. Relationships and tempers burning hot, or running dry.

OH I WANNA GO BACK TO BED

Sleep may not be the easiest thing to find, but it is a comfort. And comfort is the key to getting through these three weeks of fire walking.

HOW?

Soul soothing music, gentler schedules, daily peace practice, putting kindness first and taking compassionate actions all go on the list of self-comforting choices. Make that list, make copies, keep looking at it, keep adding items.

I LIKE CHOCOLATE

Well, yes, for many of us chocolate IS a comfort food, but with Neptune opposing the Ascendant in Virgo we could tip the scales into overindulgence and addictive behaviors. Let’s not go there. Have a strawberry.

Set yourself up for as gentle an experience as possible by preloading with compassionate practices right now. If you are drawing a blank on what to do, make an appointment with me or someone like me to help you remember how to cherish yourself and your life. Or, poll your friends who appear happy – what practices or choices do they make that help them fill their own loving cup?

I DON’T WANNA DO THIS MERCURY RETROGRADE FIRE WALK!

If you were born during Mercury Retrograde, or are immune to the retrograde effect, then you don’t have to. You’ll be fine! Just remember, most of the folks around you aren’t. Share your good fortune by loading up with extra kindness and patience.

SHAMANIC PERSPECTIVE

Stuck energy becomes stagnation. Fire is the most efficient means for transmutation, the fastest way to release energy. This is an excellent time to make shifts in your relationship with the Fire/Masculine and Water/Feminine aspects in your life.

Make this a Retrograde to ROAR about!

Namaste,

Mara

I would love to see you! Schedule your session!
