Mercury Retrograde Is Giving Us a Break Today
Lost in a haze lately? Of course you are. Feeling anxious and nervous? Who isn’t! Ready to take a nap every 2.5 seconds? *pours third cup of coffee* Mercury Retrograde in Pisces is a real bad b*tch, stirring up everyone’s inner fears and slowing ~everything~ down. Mercury Retrograde officially began on February 16th, but the sludge started lurking as early as February 2nd. However, we’ve got a lil bit of a break today—for one day only.
On February 25th, the Sun and Mercury are coming together to wake you TF up. This isn’t a test! Think fast, act fast, bbs. And yes, the clock is ticking. You see, even though this specific Mercury Retrograde is submerging your logic in ~feels~, the union of the Sun and Mercury is like being thrown a life preserver. This moment marks the official halfway point through the Mercury Retrograde cycle. Astrologers refer to this specific instant as a “cazimi” or “inferior conjunction,” but for all y’all, it means you’re standing in the eye of the storm.
During this time, you’ll experience breakthroughs and awakenings as you reflect on what you have learned in recent weeks. It’ll be like a subtle voice is echoing within you, just as the chattiest planet reaches the heart of the Sun. Even though the cosmos always seem to be playing tricks on you, the Universe actually wants you to live your ~best~ life. Often we’re so inundated with information that things can fall through the cracks during Mercury Retrograde. And we know the the past can catch up with (like salty emails or nostalgic exes in the DMs). Realizing what isn’t working comes easier rn, because you have a brief moment to catch your breath. You can brainstorm ways to approach things differently going forward.
So, like, does the calm last for a while? No, boo. It doesn’t. This is why you have to move rapidly while the Sun and Mercury are joined. Aka make sure you get everything done today before the storm knocks you back down. Your mind will be alert, your voice will be clear, and your messages will be *on point*. Schedule big meetings, send a romantic message, or pitch a project now. Your words and intent will shoot like an arrow into a bull’s-eye before the wind picks up and cyclones again.
One last thing. The exact hours near the Sun/Mercury hang are the strongest for clarity and action. This takes place at 5:45 p.m. (Pacific) or 8:45 p.m. (Eastern) on February 25th. Go ahead and set your alarm.
