Friday Rise

Happy Spring, Reader! I hope your coffee and allergy medicine are strong these days.

💫 Reclaim

​Reclaim starts in 23 days! If you want to be unapologetically yourself - this might be for you! Here's a brief little intro video.

🔄 Mercury in the Microwave

You've heard it time and time again - Mercury is retrograde. Have you looked it up and forgotten what it means? Yeah me too. So, let's start with why we hear so much about this.

For one reason, it happens three or four times a year. Other planets, like Venus or Mars, only occur once a year. So Mercury's retrogrades feel more potent since they're fast-moving.

Adding to the feelings of things, Mercury rules over things we have to deal with daily: Communication (or miscommunication, as it could be), technology, and travel.

What does retrograde mean? Well, it's an optical illusion where the planet looks like it's moving backward. In astrology terms, it means slowing down, turning inward, reflecting, or disrupting things.

These could be thoughts, revisiting old situations, or conversations. This could cause delays on the metro.

This could be technology going haywire. Like my laptop last week while I was hoping to lead a class ;)

So what do you think? Does mercury retrograde affect your life? If it hasn't yet, see if you notice any themes until April 7th, when it leaves.
