Mercury Retrograde womp womp
Something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently is Mercury retrograde (we are currently in it). I know some people might be rolling their eyes right now because I am about to bring up astrology. I just genuinely wonder sometimes… maybe this stuff might have some truth to it. So I did some deep diving on the internet and although it's not scientifically proven it was a really interesting read.
Mercury retrograde itself is a scientific phenomena, where the planet Mercury from Earth’s perspective seems to be moving backward. Mercury is deemed as the planet of communication, so when it is in retrograde there are often more problems in the fields of communication, technology, and navigation. People are often advised to refrain from making major decisions in these fields, because so called problems could occur.
Although it has little scientific evidence, I started noticing patterns. It seemed like every time Mercury was in retrograde, things just got a little chaotic in my life. Miscommunications with friends and even my car getting my car towed. At first, I brushed it off as coincidence, but the more it happened, the more I began to wonder if there was something to this whole Mercury retrograde thing.
I mean, sure, astrology isn't exactly backed by hard scientific evidence, but that doesn't mean it's completely baseless either, right? There are plenty of cultural and historical reasons why people have turned to astrology for guidance and understanding. And maybe there's some wisdom in that ancient knowledge that we just haven't fully grasped yet.
Hi Sophia! I often hear the term 'Mercury retrograde', but I never really understood what it meant. I think it is a cool concept and I want to reflect on whether I feel like it has impacted my life or not. I think astrology is really interesting!
ReplyDeleteHey Sophia. I cant say I am the biggest advocate for astrology BUT on the same note it doesn't mean that it is baseless as you said. Im not familiar with the phases in astrology but you should see if the phenomenas in the other phases have any correlation to your life patterns. Maybe it is more applicable than we think.
ReplyDeleteHey Sophia! I have been seeing videos about mercury retrograde and did not realize what it was. This was informative and interesting to read!
ReplyDeleteHey Sophia! I've heard so much about mercury being in retrograde and was glad your post explained this a little more! Next time things get chaotic in my life, or I have more miscommunications I will pay attention to what Mercury is doing!
ReplyDeleteHey Sophia. I wasn't familiar with the term mercury retrograde, but it seems like a pretty interesting concept. Interesting read.
ReplyDeleteHi Sophia, I never actually understood what Mercury being in Retrograde meant, but now that you explain it, it makes a lot of sense why it is so popular. I don’t believe in astrology, but do find it interesting how we have always been curious about what the stars mean and how they impact our world.
ReplyDeleteHey Sophia, I know a lot of friends that are into astrology and have been talking about this. I personally do not believe in it but I also don't discredit the possibility of things like astrology being able to explain unexplainable phenomena.
