Mercury Retrograde Rituals:
It all starts with your mindset!
There is nothing more powerful than your mindset! So how do we keep a positive mindset with Mercury forcing us to face emotions that we have suppressed?
- Firstly call Mercury out on this, tell yourself oh right, this is what Mercury does, and it will pass. Check out the dates for the upcoming Mercury Retrogrades, including the pre and post shadow periods, to help remind yourself that this will pass.

- Before and during each Mercury Retrograde, try to remind yourself that this is happening for you, not to you. Mercury brings opportunities to clear out the closet and finally free yourself free from that emotional weight. It's a time for life lessons and personal growth as we have to face suppressed feelings to release them. The more conscious of an effort you put into releasing or resolving these issues, the more beneficial a Mercury Retrograde will become to you.
Detox from technology!
Mercury Retrogrades are notorious for causing technology issues, which can increase frustrations when technology doesn't cooperate with us. So schedule some time to step away from technology, slow down and connect with people face to face. Make time for self-care and get into nature more during a Mercury Retrograde. Most of the time, technology will start working smoothly again after Mercury goes direct so try to have more patients with technology during the retrograde.
Keep a journal!
Keep a pen and notebook with you, including next to you while you sleep. Write the good, the bad and the plain ugly down. Write about your dreams or what meaning you feel they have. For some, writing down what surfaces helps them process it. For others, it can be beneficial to use what they write about to create a list of affirmations for themselves or set goals.
Full moon ritual!
Every full moon is an excellent opportunity to do a full moon ritual to help release what no longer serves you. One of our favourite full moon rituals is to write down what you would like to release, burn it and ask that the divine energy of the full moon help you to release or overcome the things you have written down. Then sit under the moonlight and soak up that gorgeous energy.
Smudge the house!
Smudging is a spiritual ritual done to remove negative energies from home. Grab White Sage or Palo Santo to burn through the house and open the windows. Start from the top of the house; moving the smudge tool around so that smoke can get into as many corners and open spaces as possible. Visualise pulling any negative energy lurking in your home with you as you move from room to room towards the back of the house. You can say something out loud, such as I cleanse this room of negative energy, bringing joy, abundance and calm to this space. Once you have smudged the entire house, visualise pulling the negative energy out the back door/ or any door. Release the negative energy from your home with compassion and visualise it returning to Earth to be naturalised.
