Mercury Retrograde in now in full force, so watch your communications with your partner during this time period. Its bound to affect even the strongest of relationships as this one is powerful indeed. With Neptune and Pluto also in retrograde, this retrograde of the Messenger packs a punch for the until the end of August.
Mercury retrogrades are dreaded for the problems they cause in our personal relationships, as well as those we have at work. The problems we encounter as we go through them are known for their capacity to disrupt and delay travel plans and can play havoc with all electronic gadgets from computers to tablets and beyond.
An good example of Mercury Retrograde at its finest has been these last few weeks in Washington DC. Communications were very difficult, at best while the debt ceiling was trying to be worked out. No one really got what they wanted. This 'discussion' came right down to the wire.
Where we can see what it does in group settings, like at work, you can expect gossip and misunderstandings. But where we actually experience it the hardest is in our most personal relationships. Clear communication is the backbone of our love life and when Mercury negatively affects our love relationships it is important to be aware of the negative energy flowing during this time period and just wait until things calm down.
Mercury the Messenger sends us the energy to get along with each other. When it goes into retrograde, communication breaks down on many levels. It becomes the messenger of deceit and distorts the truth causing us to misunderstand and sometimes react to others in a negative manner. This puts stress on the relationship and causes instability.
If love is clearly shared between you and your partner, you may wonder how you suddenly got into an argument. Where did this come from? How did we get here? You can blame Mercury when this happens. A normally solid relationship can survive this time period as long as you make a mental note that 'this, too, shall pass', because it will.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that the spoken word, which includes email, tweets and social media sites, can be taken the wrong way. What we say may be taken in a totally different way than we had intended. Electronic communication can easily go wrong; think before you speak or write.
Most professional advisors are aware of when this happens three or four times a year and can help you through these types of issues. If the topic you want to discuss just can't wait, then, be aware of the words you use, whether typed or spoken and make sure the person receiving them has understood your true intentions.
5 Things to help your relationship stay in balance during Mercury retrograde:
1. Meet in person if possible instead of texts or emails
2. Put off important discussions until this retrograde passes
3. Think before you speak as reality can be distorted
4. Check all of your texts and emails before sending them
5. Remember that emotions run much higher during this time
Beginning in the Fall, Mercury will begin to chug forward and most of your issues will dissolve on their own. Just try to resolve any important issues well after, which marks the end of this Mercury retrograde. Take a big step back until the next month rolls around as you will be glad you did.
