Is it just me or has these last couple of weeks been kinda off for some of you?

Lately, I been feeling somewhat down in the smallest uncontrollable things in my life. Some of the most smallest things get to me in a way of making me feel powerless and a load of overthinking rushes through my head. Not much sleep and a load of anxiety and unsureness continuously hitting me from left to right.

I can't explain what it is, but the waves of energy in the atmosphere has been hitting many that I know in a negative way which is good to know I am not alone but wtf is going on in this universe lately?

Much sadness and moodiness swings from many I know. I wonder what it can be.

Last night I was scrolling through my normal route of social media apps-- Tik Tok and Twitter when I came across a girl talking about a Mercury Retrograde occurring in the universe causing weird and off vibrations through the universe.

I've been into astrology lately so I was intrigued to what this Mercury Retrograde could be and mean.

I start doing my research and start reading different articles explaining what this Mercury Retrograde is. This is what I found out on.

I found out that Mercury, the planet is currently in retrograde motion that lasts from January 30 to February 21 of 2021. When the planet Mercury is in retrograde it means that it is traveling backwards across the sky. Normally all planets orbit in the same direction; however, during the retrograde Mercury switches direction and orbits backwards. This causes a turn in many effects occurring to us humans. Some ways this retrograde effects us humans is it reflects what happens in our verbal and technological communications as well as travel and formal agreements. Think of it as Mercury has become unhappy and pleasant with its direction accordingly and causing us to miscommunicate our actions and verbal vocabulary to every one because Mercury is the planet for communication.

Overall I took from this "Mercury Retrograde" is that this is a tough time for everyone and it's going to be until this whole retrograde is over. What I took out of this is to just be aware of what is going on and hopefully everything will become a little more chill.....

Well who is to say it will get better since we are in the middle of a crazy pandemic anyways.

I think this year has just started to be a little off for many of us and when something goes off from our ordinary lives we often find something to blame and now we do, we can just blame the Mercury Retrograde, but we still need to manage our emotions and control how we respond to uncontrollable situations.

Just breathe and relax. Right now is the best time to start a new hobby or side hustle if don't already have one, or even begin diving in more to a hobby we enjoy but been pushing it on the side. Right now is the time because there only lands a few of these Retrogrades a year and lifetime so make the best out of this and don't let stupid things get to you.

I promise it will get better or I hope. At least now you know you are not alone.
