How Mercury retrograde is a time for healing
Unless you have lived under a rock, Im sure you have heard all the negative press about Mercury retrograde, most notably the influence on machinery such the catastrophic effect of all your white goods breaking at the same time or the warning to not sign contracts or start anything new. This is because the planet is spinning backwards and is ruled by Hermes the messenger god responsible for being a messenger for all the other gods ruling communication, wealth, good fortune, commerce, fertility, inventions, travellers and transporters of goods and also thieves and tricksters, hence why you don’t sign contracts.
The depiction of Hermes carrying a Caduceus is interesting to me, as this is the symbol you find on the side of ambulances. The connection to healing is paramount as the Caduceus rod was first seen in the ancient Asclepius healing temples of Greece. These temples held the ancient knowledge of above so below. Hermes wings on the Caduceus rod represents the effect that this universal energy has on healing, a reference to Hermes ability to fly between heavens and earth. The temples and the connection to winged snakes are seen as wise and powerful healers not only because of the close connection to earth but to the Draco star constellation depicting the complete human life cycle of 90 years in a procession above the earth. As an energy healer I understand and know that for us to be tapped into universal energy a connection to the earth and the above us to the stars before every session is important. This is so we are tapped into and plugged into healing energy. Especially via distance healing.
We can expect around this time of Mercury retrograde to resolve and to heal the past issues such as deep core emotional trauma that keeps you stuck or even delving into past lives and ancestral trauma. Mercury retrograde energy encourages new awareness of the pattern of past issues in your life but feeling like you have no control over them. Hermes encourages us to delve deeper as he serves as the guide of souls to the underworld. The underworld can also be seen as the subconscious, Illustrating a need during this time to delve into the subconscious and issues from the past to heal the current timeline. Literally going back in time to bring new awareness to now.
You may be surrounded by broken machinery (currently a condenser in my car and a broken touch screen) but at least its the perfect time to delve into healing your roots and whatever rickety foundation life set you up with. I encourage you all to delve deeper during this time and see it as an opportunity for healing the past. Click HERE to book A free consult.
