Mercury retrograde _ 1st one of 2022

The early morning shadows are long on this snowy January morn. The ground rejoices in its cozy blanket and as the snow melts into the Earth she is refreshed after an exceedingly dry and warm winter so far. Jupiter entered Pisces bringing gale-force winds, unthinkable fires, clogged motorways, pandemic surge and general madness all throughout the lands. Such as it is. Everything Jupiter touches it makes bigger. If you are worrying, that will be get bigger. If you are praying for relief, that will get bigger. If you are dreaming of healing yourself and the world, that gets bigger. It is critically important that you watch your focus of attention and keep bringing it back to what you want and where you want to go. If you’re looking in the rear-view mirror and driving forward that can only bring results you had not intended.

Place your focus of attention on where you want to go and what you want to experience.
Sounds simple. Apparently not so.
This whole “where am I focusing my attention?” practice can get fairly dicey when Mercury goes retrograde, which it will do 4 times this year, one extra from the more common three times a year. From my estimation it has felt like Mercury has been moving retrograde for a couple of years. Talk about confusion! In many astro chats I’ve had over this past year it seems the that miscommunications, missed and mixed messages and every other kind of disruption imaginable and unimaginable has been occurring. Such is the wildness and unpredictability of our times! Flexibility and adaptability are the basic tools required for easeful navigation along with 100% tune-in to your own higher guidance, your own intuitive voice because as far as I can tell it’s not going to get any clearer for quite a bit.
So let’s check in with Mercury and see what mischief
Mercury is up to in its first retrograde cycle of 2022.
Mercury retrograde
1st retrograde cycle of 4 in 2022
Mercury stations retrograde at 10 degrees Aquarius on January14
Mercury will retrograde back into Capricorn on January 27,
moving backwards and then
Mercury will station direct at 24 degrees Capricorn on February 4
Mercury will then move forward, re-entering Aquarius on February 15,
reaching 10 degrees Aquarius (where it began its retrograde cycle) on February 25
if this is waaay to much astro details for you just mark these dates in your calendar:
Mercury retrograde
January 14 through February 4
undoubtedly you will feel mercury’s mischievous ways 2 weeks before the retrograde cycle begins and 2 weeks after, hence the feeling that Mercury is eternally retrograde, though it is not.

January slowdown – it’s natural

If you haven’t been feeling it yet yourself in your own internal navigation system, know that January is a time to slow down, to spend time visiting the internal realms of your own being. Trying to push through any situation is absolutely not going to work. Being with what is, while reigning in panic and anxiety, is the order of the day. Take a walk outside. Be quiet and loving to yourself. Invite any thoughts of doom and gloom to return to the void of consciousness from where they originated. Tap into your own sweet space of calm and acceptance and if you don’t know how to access that space talk to me and I’ll suggest many ways to get there.

Mercury retrograde periods are slow-down episodes in the unfolding drama of your life. As Mercury retrogrades back through Aquarius and into Capricorn, both signs which have been traditionally ruled by Saturn, you can feel heavy or disheartened, though you might feel ebullient and ready to take on whatever needs taking on. Saturn might be your friend and when Saturn energy is dominant you might feel at your best! Or Saturn might be challenging for you, what with Saturn’s sternness and all. Your chart clearly shows your coping style and all the tools you have to navigate the choppy waters of our collective reality. Your personal reality might not be at all choppy. Each soul unique in its journey back to the Light; your journey unique to you.
