Understanding Mercury Retrograde in Astrology [1]

There is no doubt that humanity is becoming more awakened to the interconnected nature of its existence. I feel that as we shift into clearer states of awareness, a deeper understanding of the truth about our connection to planetary cycles and what they symbolize can be of immense benefit to us.

In this article I would like to share some of my personal ideas and truths around an astrological phenomena known as Mercury Retrograde. Although the term is fairly well known, most people know very little about it other than the popular interpretation of it simply as a period of frequent miscommunication.

With this article I hope to offer some clarity on what Mercury Retrograde actually means, how retrograde activity affects and reflects our energy, and how we can integrate it into our lives.
