TCM, Acupuncture and Mercury Retrograde
For 2021, Mercury will go into retrograde from 27 Sep 2021 till 18 Oct 2021. What it means is the planet Mercury which is known to be fast and speedy is seemingly “slowing down” and appears to move “backwards” from West to East. And this time, it is doing its backwards dance in Libra, known for associations to relationship, peace and harmony.
Mercury governs all types of communication, professional agreements and contracts, and travel, shipping, transport, codings in computer. When Mercury retrogrades, these areas tend to be be out of control.
So do we just sit there and moan and groan and maybe just avoid talking, travelling, using the technology all together for this period?
Of course not. Especially if you are in my tribe.
Nervous System Care
During this period, the nervous system will tend to fire up out of nothing. So make extra time for personal time, self care and relaxation. And there’s always acupuncture. So book in a session for yourself.
Reorganize, declutter and cleanse
Retrogrades are opportunities to reflect on certain areas of our lives. Do some reorganization and cleaning out for your home, office and any space that you own or frequent. Do the same for your body. Cleanse out physically and energetically with herbs, crystals and oils.
Stop procrastinating
Rediscover goals that were never completed, although it may not be the best time for starting new projects now. Explore and revisit your inner desires and dreams with your inner child in-mind.
Lastly, stay chill and smile. The planets will resume their order in time.
