Retrograde

Working with the current energy

Right now, we're dealing with some heavy planetary movements. When things feel like they're slowing down, don't panic. It's not a sign to stop everything, but it is a sign to slow your pace. You'll likely notice the typical communication slips—emails going to the wrong person, misread texts, or projects hitting unexpected walls.

When these delays happen, treat them as a pause button for your own sanity. Stop pushing against the current. Instead of forcing progress, use this time to revisit old tasks you abandoned last month. You're usually better off fixing a mistake from three weeks ago than starting something brand new today.

If you're feeling scattered, stick to basics. Wear a bit of silver or keep a small piece of moonstone nearby to help ground your emotions. Reciting a mantra for Mercury or Saturn can also keep your mind from spinning out of control. Don't fight the feedback you're getting from your environment. These transits are just here to show you what needs a second look before you move forward again. Stay practical, check your work twice, and you'll get through the next few weeks just fine.

That's sound advice, but do you think we actually have the free will to shift those obstacles, or are we just watching our karma play out as predicted? It’s a fine line between taking action and simply surrendering to the flow of the transit.

With the Sun and Jupiter aligned in Cancer, it's a solid time to prioritize long-term stability in your work. Focus on precision, as Mercury in Punarvasu supports a methodical approach to clearing out old obstacles.
