🌀🎯Reconsider what was previously said, decided or assumed

🐟♓Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, has stationed retrograde at 22° Pisces on the 26th of February until the 20th of March, the day of the Aries Equinox, when it moves forward at 8° Pisces.

⚫🤍Pisces, the dispeller of illusion. The dispeller of the great illusion within the collective consciousness that keeps people distracted and fragmented. Pisces can go down into the deep, muddy waters of the subconscious, where all the sparks of light are lost. That’s why the current Mercury Retrograde in Pisces offers everyone the opportunity to restore what has been torn apart and to resurrect the SELF after fragmentation.

💔🧩Those who are fragmented and don’t have a steadfast spiritual practice that reconnects them to their True Selves and a sense of Unity Consciousness play an active part in conjuring up an ego identity, territorial separation, status hierarchy and survival dependency.
📜𓂀 Reclaim your sacred Divine Intelligence, Intuition and Wisdom by paying close attention to the underlying spiritual energy that fuels communication during this Mercury Retrograde in Pisces.

🌏🪐Planets are realms of consciousness.

🪐In ancient times, retrogrades were seen as a planetary energetic expression moving backwards.

🌀꩜Backtracking, retracing, reviewing, doing it again.

🌀꩜The outward expression was still there, but energetically reverted.

📞📱Mercury governs the mind, thought, intelligence, logic, technology, media, transport, contracts, commerce and how our mind works, how we express ourselved, how we connect with others and how we adapt to the world.

♾️𓂀What we understand as the mind is just a fragment of our True Self. According to mythology, Mercury expands to the heights of superconsciousness, recognizing potential and truth. It also descends into the depths of the underworld to illuminate and transform what has been hidden in the shadow.

‼️♓ Since Pisces is connected with the subconscious mind it is a good idea to remember durring this Mercury Retrograde that the subconscious mind internalises information through repetition.

🧊🔥🧠Our Mind is a living organism. We become what we repeatedly focus upon or what we regularly consume. Those impressions linger then in the mind and shape shift our reality.

💡🛡️If you observe people closely with whom you spend a lot of time with and what they predominantly focus on it won’t remain a big mystery what they create either consciously or unconsciously (if their shadow, addictions unconscious habits govern their lives and their attention and they are not masters of their mind).

🧭𓂀 Whereever your attention is right NOW is what you are creating in this very moment.

🎨🖌️Awareness is your most powerful creation tool. Conditioning, reactivity, overstimulation and thought impressions that are deeply burried in the subconscious mind keeps you chained to the world of illusion / undesirable reality.

⚫🦸All of your POWER lies in Self-Mastery and not in fighting the reflections of your own shadow.

🌉🪩In mythology, Mercury (Hermes) who represented communication between worlds
and the the bridge between mind and matter, spirit and form, thought and manifestation.
travelled freely between heaven, earth and the underworld.

♓🐟Pisces seeps in and blurs the edges between all timelines. And when Mercury moves through this terrain, information arrives in abstract ways through dreams, symbols and heightened intuition.
