Survival tips
Retrocado Mercury is there! It happens from 4 to 27 August. By the way, its “shadow” phase - one week before and another later - started last week. These heights may seem extremely heavy, difficult, turbulent… However, not everything is what it seems! What seems heavy now, in a while it will be perfect.

Retrocado Mercury has given to speak above all the way it interferes with the normal cycle of our lives. Even though the esoteric universe does not arouse particular attention, it is really curious how this moment of the year influences our routines, giving rise to communication failures or technological disasters, and also awakening various extraordinary coincidences.
These heights are super powerful portals that help to “clean” blockages that are not serving us, but we are afraid to finish. If we are attentive and ready to take advantage of these unexpected situations, let's “get off the other side” with more energy, stronger and emotional, mental and spiritually aligned.
Life may seem to dismantle and collapse over the next two weeks. It is important not to cling to anything and believe that sometimes certain things or situations really need to undo and dissipate, to clean the way for what It's really for us.
This retrograde mercury asks us to exchange our concerns and fears for a new confidence - that everything that is happening perfectly, exactly as it should. It is a reminder that we don't need to realize the exact reasons because certain things seem to explode or not happen the way we idealized. Sometimes it takes the universe to intervene and decide for us what you need to go and what you have to stay - especially if our lives are not balanced and aligned, if we feel more lost and far than what we dream.
Ok… sorry, because if it's the first time you hear about this expression, I can have worried her :) Let me elucidate her: according to astrology, Retrocado Mercury is the name given to the apparent effect of when Mercury begins “to walk back” in relation to Earth, an illusion related to how our planet interacts with the orbits of the other planets. This phenomenon usually happens three times a year: for example, in 2024, it runs from August 4 to August 27 and then on November 25 to December 15.
Incidentally, Mercury is known as the planet of communication, which justifies the influence we feel in how we express our ideas or even circulate: I speak of as trivial situations as delays or cancellations of flights or even loss of information that had stored on the hard disk.
But don't be alarmed! Of course it is a good time to walk more attentive and cautious about what happens around you, but also see this period as an opportunity to stop to reflect on the past and everything that currently bothers you. It is crucial that your routine encompasses and think twice before making any decision (whether you make a trip or sign a new contract).
But do you know how to counteract this phenomenon? Of course you will not be able to avoid many of the events you will come across, but it is essential to maintain optimistic thinking instead of constantly looking for obstacles! We usually walk more annoying at this point so it may not be a good time for deeper conversations or definitive decisions. But why not face this period as a great time for a reset, who knows? I always see these cosmic moments as a challenge to rethink my life and eliminate a lot of “junk” that I have accumulated over the past few times.
In practice, there are some things you can do. Take note!
Back up everything!
This is the number 1 rule! Make copies of document security, on outside discs or on online platforms - or both! Make sure you keep everything a million times.
When Mercury is retrograde, our computers and phones are more failed to fail and suddenly, even important documents that were sure to have saved, disappear.
Don't be affected by the little things
Yes, there are very significant small things that deserve our attention, but this is not a time to make storms in a glass of water. Relax and accept the natural result of things, without letting go down for things that go less well. If you remain calm and safe from what you are doing - and with the necessary backups! -Believe me that everything will go well.
Do not sign any contract
If you can, avoid signing contracts at this time. If possible, wait a week after the retrograde period. Of course, not everything can be postponed, and in such cases my advice is often reading the documents in question.
Read and reread documents
I had told you to read several times, but it is really important to reinforce this idea! I am not just talking about contracts, but from works for delivery or important communications to someone.
Ask a second opinion
If you really have to sign a contract and have read it and reread it several times, ask for a second (or third!) Opinion. Look for friends you trust or lawyers. Four eyes see better than two, especially during retrograde Mercury.
Do not travel without plans
This is not even the right time for poorly planned trips, as delays in flights or damage to car are common. If you have to travel, try to be organized and do not mark trips too close to important commitments to prevent them from being harmed by delays.
Let yourself go
In addition to retrograde mercury, it will also be eclipse height. It's a cosmic reminder to slow, relax and get carried away… even when disasters happen! Yes, they will happen, it is normal at this time and, instead of martyrifying, think about how you can work to improve the situation. Patience and understanding of yourself are even more important at these times when you should not go into stress.
Prepare for the unexpected
If it is mentalized that retrograde Mercury brings with it less predictable events, it will be halfway through not to be too affected. It doesn't have to be necessarily bad, just something more unusual. Be prepared and do not walk against the cosmos.
Enjoy clean spaces without noise
Open the windows to facilitate air circulation. Keep your room and the room always airy and clean - because it does not pass Pau Santo or White sage For these areas to detoxify and recover energy? This will help her break free from any negativism or stagnation that may be “weighing” in your home. A house with positive energy is the starting point for a lifetime with positive energy, do you agree?
Arrange the secretary and the computer
When Mercury is retrograde, our electronic devices are much more failed, so it is never too much to verify that all their important documents are properly kept. For example, if you have all important documents on a disk, it would be ideal to pass everything to another disk or to an online storage space, a drive or server. Confirm whenever you save any file before closing windows on your computer's desktop!
Make sure you communicate clearly
At this time in particular, it is very common not to be understood as we imagined or would like it. Therefore, in order to avoid misunderstanding, be special careful in the way you communicate, whether at home or at work. When I say this I speak of things as simple as checking whenever the emails you send reach the recipient or that the work you have to deliver is properly received. It costs nothing to ask again, right? If you need an extra hand for any task, please feel free to ask for a second opinion. All help is welcome!
Be more patient and understanding
Do not be reactive right away to the first “inconvenient”! When Mercury is retrograde, there are times when the events around us seem to get out of our control but always remember to take a deep breath and try to deal with the situation in the best way. To make mistakes is human and knowing how to get around less good times with maturity and trust is halfway to come out of victorious and learn from the situation. Take 2 spoons of tea Calm Whenever you think it will "explode" or need to calm down.
Sleep at least eight hours a day
It is essential to take advantage of this period to restore your energy and rest properly so that you can be more concentrated and more productive during the day. Of course, it is important to do it all year round, but if you want to avoid unpleasant surprises, you should get extra care these days. Avoid spending many hours to the mobile phone, pauses work during the day and slows down. If you have problems to fall asleep .. or have a rested sleep (very common at this time!) Take 4 pipettes Drops After dinner, it will help to have a quiet and truly repairing sleep.
Make a detox
The best part of these heights is to be able to take advantage of the moments when we slow down to rethink and assimilate a lot around us and otherwise we would not do it. Take the opportunity to break free from everything that bothers you, whether people or even foods you know are harming your health. In fact, it is a great time to try the Detox kitwhich offers you safe tools to clean your body, spirit and mind in depth. Not forgetting the material cleaning so needed for physical and psychological well-being! What do you really have in your home that is useful and give you pleasure and tranquility? Or rather how many things are unnecessarily taking up space? Do this exercise and you will see that if you will feel much better with yourself!
Relax and, perhaps, start planning
For, as I said above, this may be a troubled time to close a business or make a drastic change in your life, but the truth is that by being less impulsive and being more concentrated in what we have to do, we are reducing the possibility of making mistakes and opening a window of new opportunities. By keeping our healthy mind, we create room for amazing ideas to begin to emerge and feel much more inspired. Well, take a note of all these ideas and keep the fruits of this introspection because, when Mercury returns to the normal movement, it is the perfect time to start harvesting what it planted!
