When Mercury is retrograde in an Earth sign, the energy is, of course, more ‘down to earth’ and even a bit more serious. It’s time to reconnect with Mother Earth. Spend time outdoors and/or reviewing what you can do to protect the environment. Do you need something new or can you fix (or fix up) things you already have? Having a less disposable lifestyle can benefit the planet and your wallet.
Practical matters are likely to be on your mind – it’s time to review the basics. If you need to be more organized, that’s likely to become very clear now. If you don’t make changes, they might be thrust on you – it’s much better to be prepared.
In a typically quirky Mercury retrograde way, once you’re more organized, it becomes a lot easier to be more spontaneous and enjoy the fun things in life. But to start with, when Mercury is retrograde in an Earth sign, pay attention to doing things on time, sticking to your budget and looking after your health. Money can be both the problem and the solution under this cycle.
If you run a business, Mercury retrograde in an Earth sign is a great time for reconnecting with old clients or following up on business leads. If you can persuade yourself to be a little more flexible and adaptable, you’ll spot even more new opportunities.
Anything that comes from the earth forms the basis of a great ritual while Mercury is retrograde in an Earth sign. For example, you could use sacred stones, crystals and flowers to create a beautiful mandala while you ask the heavens to show you what you need to learn.
Re-evaluating your goals. It’s also a really good time to get back down to earth, if you know you’ve been a bit scatty or flaky. If you like to work with crystals, now is the time to give them all a really good cleanse, recharge and re-programme.
Anyone with their Sun or Rising sign in an Earth sign or, to a lesser extent, in a Water sign.
