Are you feeling drained lately? Down in the dumps maybe? Or have thoughts of an ex been creeping in? Don’t be so hard on yourself – it’s probably just Mercury acting up again. You know how it gets when the planet goes retrograde a few times a year. Seems like a lot of folks feel it in their mood and mind. That’s when Mercury likes to bring old stuff bubbling back up to the surface.
Travel plans might get delayed or canceled, too. And watch out for your tech – computers and phones can start glitching when Mercury goes in reverse. Don’t stress though, it always passes before long. Just try to ride it out the best you can till the retrograde ends!
These positive affirmations could help you stay motivated during the next Mercury retrograde period. That one is happening in Sagittarius from December 13th through January 1st, 2024. You can start using these affirmations even before Mercury goes retrograde, during what they call the “shadow phase.
