Mercury begins his retrograde today
It's such a perfect time especially with Venus helping out. Are you ready to make the most of it? Here's what's going on
Quick reminder for paying subscribers of Bring It to Life: we have our live mentoring call tomorrow, August 24 at 4 pm Central.
I made a note to myself this last week after an inspiring exchange with my mentorship group. Here’s what I wrote:
I absolutely love the time when everything is good and flowing in your life.
And I absolutely shine when times feel overwhelming, stressful, frustrated and anxious.

The reality is that we are always moving in and out of each of those times in life, from good and flowing to stressful and frustrated.
As Mercury Retrograde starts today we will have opportunities to see what in our life really isn’t flowing like we want. Maybe it did at one time, but it isn’t feeling good anymore. Or maybe it’s about a habit or belief that served you in the past but now feels too small and limiting for who you want to be.
This next month, from August 23 to September 16, we will be exploring what’s working and what’s not.
This will also be helped along by the Venus Retrograde that we’ve been in since July 23. She’s been asking us to take a look at what and who we value. Yes, this will have to do with others and our possessions. But it will also have to do with what we value in ourselves and how we are honoring and loving ourselves.
The absolutely beautiful thing about what’s playing out right now is that Venus has been having us dig deep into ourselves. And then Mercury is coming along in a sign that supports us in re-arranging the details (Virgo).
So we have this divinely supportive time to reflect, define, and re-align or refine our life right now.
I can not stress enough how much support we have from the energy at play. We often look at Mercury Rx as a time when there are holdups, snafus and miscommunications. It’s common for there to be a ‘brace-yourself’ response.
Well, I’m encouraging you to take a different approach.
USE this time in the way it has been set up for you. Take the time to reflect on what the last month has been trying to bring to your attention about yourself.
Reflect on how all things are going in your life: relationship, money, business, family, soul relationship, self love, and health. Reflect on what you appreciate. What’s working. Then take a real look at what’s not working. What’s not measuring up to the you you have become?
Then let Mercury Retrograde help define the new direction, the changes, and the things that are ready to be set down. Give yourself permission to make the changes, or at least be open to the changes so they can present themselves to you gracefully.
If you approach this time with intention, then by the time we are entering late September you’ll be in a really good place to work with the eclipse energies in October which will help supercharge the next steps in your life.
If you’d like to work this journey together, I’ll be leading a special Mercury Retrograde journey over the next 4-6 weeks in my paid subscriber community, Bring It to Life. I invite you to join us.
For the next month in Bring It to Life, we will:
Receive custom prompts each week to help you reflect, define and refine to make the most of the Venus Rx and Mercury Rx
Join us for a live mentoring call each week to ask your questions and get personalized support
As soon as you join as a paid subscriber you’ll see locked posts that are only available to you. And you’ll receive exclusive email messages to help you get started.
If you know you aren’t a group person, or would simply prefer more personalized support, take a look at this special Session + Voxer support for the month. These will only be available until September 4.
Mercury Retrograde could have you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, frustrated and anxious but I hope you’ll join me for support. I want to line you up to feel aligned and flowing. It’s where I shine.
