Cannabis Edibles to Get You Through Mercury Retrograde
Mercury is about to go into retrograde soon so you can expect things in your life to feel a little off. But not to worry! Cannabis edibles are here to help you get through the worst of mercury retrograde. Today we’re exploring how mercury retrograde could impact your life and how edibles might be able to alleviate some stress during that time.
What is Mercury Retrograde?
If you’ve never heard of mercury retrograde you might be wondering what all the fuss is about. And let’s face it – it sounds like a confusing topic to wrap your head around. Luckily, this guide is here to set the record straight and simplify what’s going on.
Mercury retrograde happens when we appear to see Mercury moving backwards in space. While it’s not actually moving backwards, it seems that way because of the speed at which Earth is rotating and the distance Mercury is from Earth.
Since mercury retrograde is essentially an optical illusion it can be hard to wrap your head around how it plays into your everyday life. You see, Mercury is known as the planet of communication, intelligence, connection, media, technology and commerce. All of these things are integral to our lives, which is why retrograde has the ability to impact our daily routines.
When Does Mercury Retrograde Happen?
Mercury retrograde isn’t a once-a-year kind of thing. It actually occurs a few times each year and here are the 2022 dates:
January 14 - February 3 - Starting in Capricorn and ending in Aquarius
May 10 - June 3 - Starting in Taurus and ending in Gemini
September 9 - October 2 - Starting in Virgo and ending in Libra
December 29 - January 18 (2023) - in Capricorn
Each time there is mercury retrograde, it’s entering a new stage. Each stage falls within one or two zodiac signs, depending on the time of year. That means if a phase of mercury retrograde is happening within your sign, you might have a different experience than those whose zodiac signs aren’t involved.
Mercury Retrograde Effects
What’s so bad about mercury retrograde? Sure, your whole world turning completely on its head is unlikely but that’s not to say that you shouldn’t prepare yourself mentally for a few changes during this time.
The most chaotic time of mercury retrograde is said to be during ‘the storm’ which is when mercury freezes in the sky. It happens the day it turns retrograde and the day it turns direct but the day before an dafter are also known to contain the same type of energy.
It’s recommended that you avoid signing any contracts, making any big life decisions or large purchases during mercury retrograde because obstacles might get in the way or you could experience negative outcomes to the decisions you’ve made during that time.
