When Mercury goes retrograde in a Fire sign, it can feel like a bit of a damp squib. You may be eager to do amazing things – after all, fire energy lights up the world, it’s creative and even flashy – but under this cycle there are tedious delays to deal with. Or maybe you just need more time to birth your creation.
Fire energy gives off sparks, but you need to ask, ‘Is this really what I want to do? Can I carry it through to the end?’ Honestly? No one’s testing you. You’re allowed to give up and start again if you want!
Fire is also all about burning brightly, but Mercury retrograde in a Fire sign can delude you into thinking you’re ‘on fire’ when in reality you’re simply following an urge to do anything other than sit still. Instead you need to reach within to feel the burn of your inner flame – it’s there, even if you haven’t fanned it for a while. And that’s another thing – if life’s been dragging you down, Mercury retrograde in a Fire sign encourages you to learn how to play again.
Don’t be shy about being more creative in making life changes. Fire signs live life large, so ask yourself if you’re enjoying your life journey as much as possible. Whatever you do under this cycle, you may have a couple of false starts, but each experience will help you to unleash your creativity a little bit more.
Working with fire is the easiest way to harness Mercury’s energies in a practical or sacred way. Whether you simply light a candle and meditate or invite friends to join you at a fire pit and light up some flames, any ritual involving fire is a great way of connecting with the energies of Mercury retrograde in a Fire sign.
