The calendar highlights the significant phases of Mercury Retrograde using different colors:

The Mercury Retrograde Pre-Shadow phase is shown in blue, with violet indicating where the effect tends to be felt more strongly.

The Mercury Retrograde phase is shown in light red, with the time that Mercury is in Retrograde Station indicated in dark red. During the retrograde phase, a darker color is used to highlight the time when Mercury is moving more slowly and when its effect tends to be felt more strongly.

The Mercury Retrograde Post-Shadow phase is shown in brown. The Mercury Direct Station, as Mercury stops its retrograde motions and is about to move forwards again, is indicated in dark brown. While Mercury is still moving slowly and has not speeded up, the effect of this phase tens to be felt more strongly and is indicated with a darker color.

Just a quick little astrology heads up: Mercury will be retrograde from September 17th to October 9th. If you’re Mercury sensitive like me (I have six Mercury-ruled planets in my chart – yikes!), you may have already been feeling the energy the last two weeks. This is called the “shadow period” and sometimes it feels worse than the actual retrograde. I like to think of it as “planetary PMS”.

What I’ve noticed: especially bad driving and funky communication – especially of the passive-aggressive type.

It might be wise for all of us to pay close attention to how we are communicating with others during this period. For example, if someone is trying the passive-aggressive shuffle with you, call them out on it. Or, if you are leaning in that direction, stop and ask yourself if there is a healthier way to get your needs met. The wonderful thing about retrogrades is that they give us an opportunity to review how we’re operating. These next few weeks are a good time to check in with yourself, especially in the relationship department. (By the way, that extends to ALL relationships, not just romance.)

Train At The Halau!

The Halau propagates traditional Japanese Usui Teate Reiki in addition to American Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki knowledge and training. Most Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki schools allow Level 3 Reiki Masters to attune new students. Unlike these schools, The Halau allows only our Usui Teate Grandmasters to propagate basic Reiki technique to beginners. Grandmasters are the only instructors with enough training and knowledge to attune new students. They are trained to perform both live (in-person) as well as astral (long-distance) attunements. We do not simply gather students as income: our training is for serious Reiki inquiries only.
