Communicate Better with Your Family:

a Mercury-Retrograde and Pre-Thanksgiving Group Clearing

Even people who know virtually nothing about astrology frequently dread the times of the year when we enter Mercury Retrograde, where they may expect all kinds of relationship communication problems and misunderstandings, travel delays, appliance and computer problems, increased anxiety and mental fog, low energy levels and lethargy, problems with decision-making and taking action, and just a generally inauspicious time for doing anything concrete and productive.

However, Mercury and all of the Planets are spiritually-speaking Inner Archetypes, meaning that even though their physical forms can technically be identified as objects in the sky, their consciousness is really within you.  So they affect you from the inside-out, and not from the outside-in.

Their function is evolutionary. That means that they don't control you from the outside.  Rather, the Planets bring forward certain energetic potentials that are based on your unique Inner Patterns and karma.

We do not need to be victimized by these inner promptings.  Rather, we can work with them using karma-transforming spiritual therapies, so that better enable our personal energy to harmonize with the cosmic energy represented by the Planets.

Clearing specific "Mercury Karma" is not a new idea.  The yogis and priests of ancient India developed methods of working with the Planets, calling them "remedies".  When you perform these remedies, your inner relationship to the Planets is improved, meaning old karma is cleansed, and the function of the Planet in your consciousness becomes more auspicious.  The Planet becomes more of an ally, rather than something seemingly standing in your way.

Few people in the West understand that their relationships to the Planets can be changed through remedies, and that we do not need to feel that we are a victim of planetary movements, or our own astrological chart.

Mercury Retrograde is a state of consciousness, and nothing more. Many people automatically expect -- and then blame -- Mercury for technological glitches and problems with communication during this time. But there is no external force that is creating these issues for you. It is your own consciousness and your own belief system.

If you believe Mercury Retrograde will be problematic, then your own consciousness will project that belief into your results. It will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So in this clearing, we are going to dive into the rich tradition of Mercury remedies.  I am going to connect with my Inner Guidance to discern the specific remedies this group that will gather for this clearing needs at this time.  We will each benefit from each remedy performed.

This work will benefit you during the Mercury Retrograde period, and from this day forward in all periods of your life.  I have chosen the first days of this Mercury Retrograde period to do this remedy work, since planetary transits are ideal times for remedies, and more of the potentially discordance Mercury-based energy will be coming forward right at this time.
