What to do during Mercury Retrograde
DON’T: Tell your secrets to untrustworthy people
Since Mercury is the planet of communication, when it goes retrograde, expect miscommunications and all kinds of tea being spilled. This might sound fun and spicy, but it sure isn’t when it’s your tea being splashed around.
Be extra careful with who you tell your secrets to because a person you thought was a trustworthy confidant might be two-faced.
Also double-check your texts and make sure you’re not doing the ol’ send the text about a person TO that person (which applies every retrograde, BTW).
DON’T: Put yourself in stressful situations
Stressful energy is wafting through the air like crazy right now so be smart and avoid putting yourself in anxiety-inducing situations.
Whether it be attending events that you know your ex or arch-nemeses will be at, sliding into someone’s DMs or having important talks with people.
Now is not the time – save it for when you’re at your best.
DON’T: Leave shit ’til the last minute
Again, Mercury is the planet of communication so when retrograde occurs, the planet goes backwards, and therefore all communications go backwards.
It’s believed that during this time, delays are expected and therefore, do not leave important assignments, bills, or travel ’til the last minute.
Allow yourself extra time, you’ll need it!
DON’T: Give up your wellness routines
Do you have wellness routines in place to protect your physical and mental state of mind? Whatever you do, be sure to not only stick to it but perhaps add a few methods to it — whether it be energy healing, tarot reading, having a spa day or seeing a therapist.
And if you have none at all, now would be the time to start!
It could be as simple as meditating, staring a new workout regime, doing a nightly face mask or undergoing a digital detox (AKA putting your phone down and unplugging yourself from social media for a set amount of time).
Look after yourself, boo.
