If life seems a bit more turbulent these days - it’s because Mercury is in retrograde!
But don’t despair. Retrograde isn’t here to wreak havoc for the heck of it. As astrologers repeat - retrograde is a time to review, reassess, and reorganize - before forging ahead.
I’ve come to look forward to these retrograde stretches - going with the flow instead of freaking out. Since this one’s in Pisces, you may feel rather dreamy and nostalgic. Pisces also rules the feet, so engage in a foot audit. Take a good look at your grippers, which have been encased in shoes and boots all winter long. But spring is right around the corner so start getting ready for their debut now.
Here are some Mercury-in-retrograde Piscean pursuits:
- Soak your feet in soothing Piscean herbs - lavender, basil & sage.
- Spend Sunday giving yourself an all-out pedicure and paint your toenails a pretty pastel hue.
- If you haven’t tried a Foot Peeling Mask, this is the time to do so: it takes a couple of weeks for your feet to shed its old skin. By the end of retrograde, they’ll be utterly reborn, baby soft.
- Or if you’re a devotee of old-school callus busting, try the Precisso Foot File - the best foot file I've ever used.
- March is also National Reading Month, so pick up a fantasy novel or romance and read it while soaking in the tub. I’m currently reading The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk, Nobel Prize novelist. It’s also a Netflix mini-series.
- Re-read your favorite poem/s.
- Listen to old songs that transport you to the past while decorating an ET Mini Tote for low impact creative satisfaction.
- Watch a movie about mermaids - Splash, The Little Mermaid - or a merman, The Shape of Water.
Good luck - and see you on the other side!
