Mercury Retrogrades occur in pattern moving through each element at a time. For example, currently we’re in Earth Sign Mercury Retrogrades. Next up is Fire Sign Mercury Retrogrades. With retrogrades, it’s best to create check lists and RE-member that REtrogrades are best for REviewing, REsting, RElaxing, REvisiting, etc. The theme changes based on the planet(s), sign(s), element(s), and house(s) involved for each individual. Retrogrades are powerful moments to complete previously begun plans. For inferior retrogrades (like Venus/Mercury) the Sun conjunction (Earth opposition) is the midpoint of the retrograde. For superior planets (Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, etc.) the Sun opposition (Earth conjunction) is the midpoint of the retrograde. Shadow periods are when the planet(s) are in the zones they’ll retrograde in. When the retrograde ends it’s not until the planet exits its shadow zone that the full manifestation of the retrograde energy (basically your growth) occurs. If you know you’re going to travel during Mercury retrograde, checklists are helpful.
Oh my gosh, now that is quite the family experence that will hopefully prevent future difficulties. My first knowing experence with MRetro was 5 years ago and it was particulary aggresive in its personal reveals. It seems the subsequent years have lessened in its personal upheaveal till this year, yet still revealing. I unnecessarily didnt pay attention though to my prior MR lessons and now am having to live with that decision of not taking heed. Only this time it catapulted someone i love immensely into their own unsuspecting personal melt down that has the potency to be a long lasting strife. My penance will to appologize for my part and hopefully we can put this years MR behind us and mark the calander so as not to be fooled again. I've not had electronical problems in the past but this year it was hightened in my neck of the woods. Everybody was blaming it on the rain but no, it was the MR. Heres to all the universe has teach us. Cheers good sir and hopefully you all grew closer thru your shared experensies as I hope the same ✨ 🤪🙏🏼🤘🏼🥂
it must've taken a great amount of self-restraint not to put a curse on the SNCF while you're at it 😂 a pox on their houses! anyway, glad to hear that everything worked out in the end; great video - love this format!
Starting listening to your story I was heartbroken because I know how frustrating travelling with family can be, and having bad luck as another traveler along.... not fun! But when you then mentioned your autisitc son, my heart broke yet again! My youngest out of four also have stage two autism and he would feel so bad under such circumstances. I am happy you found a solution to the problem. Also, I just ordered your book!
😄 thank you for your kind words, coming from another Autism parent it's really lovely to read! My best wishes to you and your own family of superheroes! 😄🙏
Wow. I'm so glad you were able to turn it around! What a nightmare! Total Nine of Swords... I can't remember having issues with a Mercury rx aside from this last one- I was set to drive from Alaska to Washington (through Canada) by myself and had to change my plans the first night of my trip and go back home for a few weeks due to crazy weather issues. I was able to rebook hotels starting on a random date...looking at that date later, of course, it was the day Mercury stationed direct. Let's play that game- Never Have I Ever. Lol. Life!
i am relieved everything turned out for you and your family. the photos + footage you shared are alluring!! i empathize with pain endured during this mercury retrograde. i, too, was reminded to not falter before unpleasing circumstances, but instead ground and channel through magickal means when faced with life's abruptly ephemeral dregs. how profound what can miraculously unfold at perfect timing. 📿 it's precisely why i utmost gratitude for the neteru.
Wow. That is a really impressive run of poisoned luck. I’ve had some Mercury in retrograde experiences but that was like a sitcom episode. I’m sorry you had to live it but it made for a great story! I’m glad you got to enjoy a little of Paris, it’s really a magical place and in my top 3 cities I’ve visited. Great thinking on your feet and not giving in to despair! A great lesson not to become overly reliant on our kits, and that a Magician can work wonders with mind, spirit/s, and will alone. Cheers!
Phew! This retrograde has been such a relentless, almost laughable, slog for a lot of folks. Our car battery went, my laptop died, I got hit by a car whilst cycling and then completely messed up a uni deadline and the submission process. I will be very glad to be on the up again. Thank you for sharing, it has made me feel better in sympathy, despite all the frustrations!
Gosh, what a mess of a trip! I'm autistic like your son, and I think I too would've been sobbing on the floor at that point in the journey. I'm glad you all got to have a good vacation nonetheless.
Thank you for sharing this - I loved hearing every detail; very glad it turned out fantastically. This particular Mercury Retrograde does seem too potent. And, I am reminded to put the sand I received from the Sanctuario de Chimayo at my doorstep.
I'm so glad that you have made a video about those terrible two days! It seemed that everything that could have gone wrong did indeed go wrong. Well done in finding the right solutions for you! (💗How we enjoyed our time together! )
Timely for me as well. I took the advice, and for the puzzle made a bunch of dots in chalk in different colors and then set up a mathematical formula based on the numbers of dots of each color and threw in multiplying by pi for good measure
Eep. I realized that my mom and I leave on a cruise (for my 50th bday! to Norway!) the day before Mercury goes direct in September. Hoping post-shadow isn't too bad! Glad y'all managed to turn things around. ❤
Also the boat-ride on the Seine sounds like a wonderful way to calm your son. Traveling with an autistic kid is difficult in the best of circumstances, so I'm glad you were able to give him that. (No shade. I'm likely autistic myself, so I get the overstimulation, etc.)
Hahaha holy hell this video stressed me out. PTSD from some similar experiences in my past maybe? I'm glad you got to have a wonderful holiday in the end, but it was a hell of a trial! I often wonder if experiences like this are trials of worth, extra charges in the small print of life or karmic rebound of some sort. I'll have to keep an eye out for planetary retrogrades as I become more familiar with esoteric practices.
It would have been very easy to let your experience be ruined when having so much misfortune in such a short time. Glad you were able to turn things around instead!
Lmao shots fired (rightly) at Hellfire Books! 😂 What an insane journey, I'm so glad you were able to have such a wonderful time in the end Denis, you deserve it! You've definitely inspired me to be more vigilant as well. Much love ❤️
I was trying to put my mind at ease about mercury going retro (trying to forget about it) but oh boy did it hit hard, i had a refrigerator break, door lock break, project ideas fade away, energy fade away...I was like WHAT THE HELL and then realized "Uh damn mercury"
Whenever, you describe your practice I am always a little surprised. I have often remarked that our beliefs are very similar, despite me coming from an Islamic perspective. Also your practices are so similar to my own. It's just that you take them so much further and are so much more a part of your daily life, whereas I tend to submit most to Allah. Certainly any rituals I engage in tend to be Islamic and I really don't see myself as ceremonial. Please don't see this as a criticism Denis, as it most certainly isn't, just an observation. Indeed, I love it when you open up about your practice.
Definitely the worst Mercury Retrograde experience I ever heard. I evoked Mercury last week, and I could not get a clear 'feeling' of Him, and then He just quipped, 'you know, I might be in retrograde, but I still pick up any calls'.
I was late to an appointment with my dissertation supervisor and while I was there I realized I had lost my backpack with 900 dollars that were not mine but belonged to the tourist agency I work for, then that same night I lost my phone. Had to buy another, that I dropped one week later so I had to replace the screen then 4 days later someone else dropped it and the screen broke again lololol
This retrograde I've had over $1000 in power tools that are a lynchpin in my business break and I'm only months out of the warranty period. Not sure what the point of this comment is, just felt like complaining haha. Thanks for the video
Does any one have any tips on lessening the effect of Mercury retrograde if it's at a time you have to travel? Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Computers have created a hellish world. They were supposed to make life easier but they've done anyting but. When it comes to travel, have a couple of trips planned within the next year, but after that I'm done. I might not even take those trips because it's just a nightmarish. All any companies have to do is have some actual humans who can help. However they're interested in the bottom line, not us. Worldwide, the pandemic taught them that they can get by with skeleton crews and no customer service and that people will still be happy to give them our hard-earned cash.
I would really love any one of knowledge in this areas input on something. I'm still quite new to astrology, but, learning about my Natal chart has been profoundly insightful with great potential for use as a framework mirror; but... I'm a Virgo Sun Leo(M)Aries(A) but my Mercury is also in Virgo in 6th House, but, I was born during a Mercury Rx (as well as 3 other retrogrades) and I'm very curious if anyone has anything to say on this combination. Thanks and hope all are doing well!
I'm sort of surprised you don't keep a magickal travel kit or " bug out bag" with you when you travel for occasions like this, obviously not anything hyper-speciallizwd or too big but you could fit stuff for the basic standby rituals ( LBRP, cleansing, protective folk magic etc) in a large handbag or maybe a doctor's valise if you can find one. I'm aware this sounds like hindsight advice and I apologize if it sounds condescending but maybe it'd be useful for the future? Again sorry if it sounds like I'm busybodying but you never know when you might have days like this and it never hurts to be prepared. Even something like a sword can be swapped for a pocket knife or even a heavy letter opener if need be
I feel u man Had a similar experience w the euro train system mine turned out to be as simple as payn for them twice and then an additional 50euros because of a glitch on THEIR end to fix the fix... Never again 😂
Until this last Mercury Retrograde I never felt personally effected by it but boy oh boy did this time round make up for it. I essentially drank some energy drink that usually caused me no bother and afterwards it felt the closet thing to a NDE I've ever been through and it took a good week and a bit afterwards to feel back to normal haha. Lesson learned never to underestimate the power ot the planets! Hahaha
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about something referred to as "the golden beetle" or if anyone is familiar with the term. Thank you in advance
rent a car wasn't an option at the table? It's so easy to get at airport and could avoided all stress but ... I know I know ... mercury retrograde could abduct all car rentals companies hahahahhahah... It happened with me last time to visit my mom in Portugal, all major car rentals was offline to book online and then I had to pay the ridiculous fee on the office.

Ugh hotel in Walsall... No thanks
After hearing this I'll never complain about mercury retrograde again... 👀🔥
As a Taurean this particular retrograde had been like having a starring role in a slapstick comedy! 🤯
😅♉
Oh my goodness. Same and same
mine's been psycho horror farce lol
"Well to be fair, you might have just ordered from Hellfire Club Books" - priceless!
😬😂
Thank you, I have had days like that. It's good to know it's possible to turn things around. Im happy to hear your vacation turned out good.
Thanks for sharing, omg can feel the travel pain! Glad your family had a wonderful adventure. Enjoying Mind Palace series. Biggest hugs 🥰

Everyone got hit hard by this retrograde! What a trip. Glad you made it where you ultimately wanted to go.
Crazy times, eh?

The Hellfire comment hit home and I shot coffee out my nose 🤣👏
