5 Things To Buy During Mercury Retrograde 🌒
Mercury Retrograde makes all of us feel like we're being punished even though we are not. The gist of it is that when Mercury, the planet nearest to the Sun is retrograde, it appears to move "backwards" east to west. When we view it from planet Earth, it actually looks like an optical illusion. In laymen terms, here's my personal knowledge of Mercury Retrograde:
Because of the whole reversal in orbit, things from your past comes up. So, always wear lipgloss when going to the corner store in case you run into an ex-lover.
Delays delays delays. This doesn't mean that you get a pass on arriving late to meetings and brunch dates, rather things may have a way of coming later than sooner as expected. It's really a freelancer's nightmare as money owed takes its pretty little time to get to you.
Signing contracts and agreements are a no-no. This does make a lot of sense, because if the planetary vibes are moving backwards, how would it be feasible to assume that moving forward is a positive thing?
Not a great time to start or launch new projects. All beginnings need a good push from the universe, right? Well, it would be best to wait until retrograde passes. Trust on this one as I've learned this twice the hard way.
Don't buy any electronics or big ticket purchases. Try your best to steer clear of the Apple Store. If you're in need of repair, know that due to Mercury Retrograde you'll be spending more than necessary with little to no fix. And not a wise time to do any technical / software upgrades to any devices.
While we're all stuck in planetary limbo, retail therapy can be a savior. As long as you choose your merchandise carefully. (Remember, no electronics, that new iPhone can wait)
