What's the Buzz About Mercury Retrograde?

First things first, let's decode the astro-jargon. When Mercury goes retrograde, it appears to move backward in the sky, causing communication, travel, and technology to go haywire. But hey, it's not all doom and gloom! The key is to embrace the retrograde energy and use it to your advantage.

Virgo Vibes: Analytical Adventures

Now, Virgo is an Earth sign known for its meticulous and analytical nature. Picture this: a cosmic magnifying glass scrutinizing every little detail of our lives. During this retrograde, you might find yourself reevaluating projects, relationships, and even your closet organization strategy! You might be tempted to throw your house out, but instead, go Marie Kondo style! Simply ask “Does this spark joy?”

Navigating the Cosmic Maze

1. Pause and Reflect:

Just like a puzzle piece that needs time to find its place, use this period to reflect on your goals and plans. Revisit old ideas, tweak them, and see how they fit into your bigger picture.

2. Tech Timeout:

Expect your gadgets to get a bit wonky, so why not declare a tech timeout? Use this opportunity to reconnect with pen and paper, or have that long-overdue face-to-face catch-up with a friend.

3. Mindful Communication:

Virgo's influence encourages clarity. Be extra mindful with your words, texts, and emails. If you sense misunderstandings creeping in, take the time to explain yourself patiently.

4. Reconnect with Routine:

Virgo thrives on routines, and this retrograde is the ideal time to reconsider your daily habits. Dust off that neglected to-do list and give it a fresh perspective.

5. Unearth Unfinished Business:

Remember that project you put on the back burner? Now's the time to dig it up, give it a good polish, and consider how it might still contribute to your journey.

Since you will be in this constant backwards focus mentally, you might find it helpful to look at what your mind will be focusing on. The easiest way to do this is to look at your view/perspective variable in Human Design. Think of your view like the glasses you where to see clearly that can help create movement, and think of your transferred view as way you see reality a bit distorted. Often times when the mind can’t see its way out of a box, this can become a distracted view.

Let’s go through each view variable through the colors 1-6. The opposite end will transfer, and that is where the glasses you wear can get foggy. You might notice those glasses appear a bit more foggy during Mercury retrograde.

Use this cheat sheet and keynotes below to use as a reference point for when the mind is seeing clearly in it’s true view and when it has transferred and becomes distracted with it’s transferred view.

Color 1: Survival & transfers to Color 4 Wanting. Color 1 is looking for a “secure foundation” & gets distracted by Color 4 “needy people”
Color 2: Possibility & transfers to Color 5 Probability. Color 2 is looking for “how everything can work out” but gets distracted by Color 5 “spotting the red flags”
Color 3: Power & transfers to Color 6 Personal. Color 3 is looking for “ways to be successful by getting on top” but gets distracted by Color 6 “their own or others personal story”
Color 4: Wanting & transfers to Color 1 Survival. Color 4 is looking for “how to provide for others needs & desires” but gets distracted by Color 1 “all the dangers that can exist”
Color 5: Probability & transfers to Color 2 Possibility. Color 5 is looking for “what’s not working to fix it” but gets distracted by Color 2 “that everything is just impossible”
Color 6: Personal & transfers to Color 3 Power. Color 6 is looking for “their own story to relate to their life experience” but gets distracted by “who or what is on top or bottom”
