Years ago, we would roll our eyes any time we heard someone blame something on Mercury Retrograde.
But over the years we’ve had enough f--‘d up things happen during Mercury Retrograde that we have become Believers, LOL.
In fact, this may sound VERY woo-woo, but we do everything we can to avoid scheduling live events when Mercury is in Retrograde (with 18 live 3-day events each year, that’s nearly impossible).
When it comes to Mercury Retrograde, there are 4 camps (most people don’t know about the 4th):
Camp #1: You’re outside of the Holistic Bubble and have never even heard of it (Most people in the world).
Camp #2: You think people who talk about Mercury Retrograde causing technology and communication breakdowns are crazy.
Camp #3: You are a believer, and dread when Mercury goes into Retrograde (and refuse to make decisions during this time).
Can you imagine if NOBODY in the world made a decision during the 3 weeks of Mercury Retrograde, 3 times per year? So, 9 weeks out of the year, not one decision got made. Not very sustainable from a global standpoint.
Camp #4: You acknowledge that communication and technology breakdowns happen more frequently when Mercury is in Retrograde. And acknowledge that our solar system’s configurations have an impact. But if you’re in this camp, you get EMPOWERED when Mercury is in Retrograde.
It’s true that Mercury Retrograde is renowned for messing up technology and communication.
One of our former clients just posted this in one of our Facebook groups:
“OMG! Help! I am right in the middle of TWO launches and my database just BLEW THE F--- UP and nothing works: All I see is a bizarre error message and I can't even sign in.”
We’ve had similar experiences when launching programs during Mercury Retrograde and can honestly say that we’ve lost boatloads of money due to technical mishaps.
But when it comes down to it, money comes and money goes.
The question is: “Who will you BE in the meantime?”
When technology breakdowns happen, do you revert back to a freaked out version of yourself? Do you feel like God/the Universe/Everything has turned against you? Or do you stay resourceful, ask for help and as one of our mentors says, “Make a way out of no way.”
We haven’t had many technology breakdowns over the last couple of weeks... but we’ve had lots of relationship breakdowns.
We’ve had to decide whether we wanted to defend ourselves and cling tight to our “rightness.”
Or remain curious and speak our truth with love and acknowledgment.
We had to decide between building up a team of people to defend our point of view (and divide our team and our community) or striving to empower everyone and create one camp, where everyone is right and at the same time, held to the highest standard possible.
While we haven’t been perfect in our communications, we’ve chosen to keep coming back to love and truth, curiosity and acknowledgment.
And from this place, many miracles have happened. Relationships that seemed like they were going to have to die have sprung back to life, stronger than before. And most of all, we’ve inspired ourselves with what is possible.
So look forward to the Mercury Retrograde breakdowns, because they show you who you are and what you’re made of. They give you the confidence that you’ll be able to handle any situation like a champ. And when you have that level of confidence, you no longer fear “putting yourself out there” or “being seen.” Because you know you can deal with it if things spin off course.
We still have a couple more days of Mercury Retrograde. But for now, we can say we’re better for having gone through it. How about you? Can you find some good and empowerment from the last few weeks? If so, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
