MERCURY RETROGRADE SURTHRIVAL GUIDE
Mercury retrograde is a transit that happens 3-4 times a year when Mercury, the planet of communication slows down and can make it feel like everything is being turned upside down in one or more areas of your life. MR is usually greatly feared as things tend to get murky and confusing with delays, miscommunications and misunderstandings. I want to offer you this surthrival guide to reframe the dread narrative that has become synonymous with this time. When life “seems to be going tits up”, things are never really as they appear in a retrograde. Retrogrades want to turn things inside out so we can see something from another perspective or heal something in a deeper way. There’s always some gold to be found in unexpected and seemingly inconvenient ways, hence why I have called it a surthrival guide- borrowing Devany Amber Wolfe’s term of “surthriving” which I interpret as mastering how to graciously ride the waves of a potentially sticky time.
MAGIC 8 FOR LION’S GATE
I have weaved Affirmative Leo codes into this magnetic manifesto inspired by my recent single Back Yourself that you can view here. I am Leo rising and these words are from the fires of my lived experience. May they touch where needs to be touched.
More than anything I stand for empowering and encouraging myself and others as I know what it feels like to have shite self esteem that holds you back from your dreams. We all deserve to achieve our highest potential in this life time, it is so much easier and enjoyable to journey in supportive community.
I cannot express how excited I am to share the second Artist Spotlight from The Cocoon in the form of juicy Piscean Queen Jess Green; an illustrator and activist of my wildest dreams who crafted the incredible visual for this piece after being inspired by this article I shared on the new moon in Leo workshop with the community! Watch this space for more bespoke pieces from this divine creatrix who I believe is ACTUAL magic in human form.
