The first Mercury Retrograde of 2021 has arrived!

Hi, it’s Keiko. 



Today I’m going to share with you some useful information about Mercury Retrograde and how to get Mercury on your side in order to boost your fortune and increase the effectiveness of your Power Wishes. 



According to the astrological year (which starts in March on the day of the Spring Equinox), the first Mercury Retrograde of 2021 got underway on May 29th.  



Mercury retrograde happens about three times a year, and lasts for about three weeks each time.  This time, Mercury Retrograde is taking place from May 29th to June 22nd, and right in the middle of this three-week period there’ll be an annular solar eclipse in Gemini. 



For some reason, I am always susceptible to Mercury Retrograde, and during the first three days of Mercury Retrograde the following things happened to me:



  • I hit the send button, but my email wasn’t sent

  • My cell phone unexpectedly shut off several times during the day

  • My computer froze



During the past few days it’s quite possible that similar things may have happened to you too. 



Mercury is a planet of great importance during the Air Era.  This is because Mercury governs information, communication, timing, and words, all of which are highly valued in the Air Era. 



In addition, Mercury is the ruler of the air sign Gemini, which also governs words, communication, and timing.  So it’s really important to have Mercury on your side if you want to sail through the Air Era with ease.  



On that note, let’s take a look at what we can do to make the most of Mercury Retrograde.

What to be cautious about during Mercury Retrograde




Since Mercury governs things that are intimately related to our lives, there are several things that we should be aware of during its retrograde period.  For example, 

  • Be careful not to send emails to the wrong person, or post something in error on social media. (Be sure to double check the recipient's name and the location of where you are posting.)

  • Be mindful of the language you use, and how you express yourself

  • Be careful to communicate clearly and not in a vague manner

  • Remember to allow plenty of time for traffic disruptions

  • Be sure to make a backup of your important data

It’s advisable to be more conscious of your actions than usual, especially since the Air Era is an age of information and communication. 





How to get Mercury on your side





Mercury also governs “timing,” and it moves very quickly.  Therefore if an opportunity comes around, be sure to make a move without hesitation.  Here are some other things to be mindful of:

  • Avoid ruts and try to change up the way you do things (such as how you commute to work, or where you do things, etc.) 

  • Avoid putting the brakes on your curiosity

  • Use positive and loving words

  • Organize information and data on a regular basis

  • Refine your senses and do what makes you happy

  • Proactively seek out information 

  • Incorporate seasonal foods into your diet

None of the above mentioned things are particularly difficult, so if you want to get Mercury on your side, get started by doing whatever it is you can do. 






Lucky actions during Mercury Retrograde





Fortunately for us, retrograde is not just a period when troubles occur.  It’s also a great time to review, revise and revisit things.  So during Mercury Retrograde I highly recommend that you review your Power Wishes, and resume any studies or practices that you have stopped doing for whatever reason. 





When it comes to Power Wishes, you can rewrite them and add more requests to them, so please be sure to give that a try during this retrograde period.  





Also, if you happened to miss writing a Power Wish for whatever reason, you can write it during Mercury Retrograde.  





And the great thing about that is that it’s actually quite effective! 





When you start to think about Mercury Retrograde in this way, you’ll see that it's actually something to be grateful for, and that whoever takes advantage of it ends up being the real winner. 





So, whenever you hear the phrase, “Mercury Retrograde,” instead of feeling nervous or anxious about what might happen to you, remember that it’s also an excellent opportunity to review your Power Wishes and reunite with people who you had relationships with in the past.
