Hi All, please accept my apologies for posting a day late. This was for two reasons; firstly I had a very rough day emotionally yesterday. It involved a big argument with my husband and then lying in bed crying a lot. Secondly, today is a hell of a day so I wanted to post on the day to talk about it.

Why is today a powerful day? Thank you for asking! Today is April Fool’s Day, Easter Sunday, the first day of the month and the first day of Mercury retrograde. For those of you who find the movement of planets a bit woo-woo please accept my apologies. However, in the spirituality world, we all dread retrogrades and Mercury retrograde in particular.

What Is A Retrograde?

As we look into the night sky, we (or rather astrologers and astronomers) can watch the other planets in our solar system as they orbit the sun. A retrograde is when a planet appears to us to move backwards. Now, naturally, no planet actually moves backwards in its orbit. I’m not a scientist but I’m pretty sure that’s impossible! It just appears so from our perspective. It is really interesting though as it makes you think about what percentage of things we believe to be true in our lives is coloured or changed by our perspective 🤔
