LIFE EATS DEATH - A Mercury Retrograde Special Episode with Rose Blakelock & Renee Sills

Mercury’s second retrograde in 2022 is May 10-June 3.⁣ The degree where Mercury will station direct (and where its retrograde shadow begins) is 26 Taurus. This is the degree of last November’s first eclipse in the current set of Taurus/Scorpio eclipses. It’s also the degree where the sun will be on May 15’s upcoming total lunar eclipse. ⁣ Mercury forms three sextiles with both Jupiter and Pluto over the course of its retrograde and shadow. The symbolism of this retrograde and its eclipse connections speak to needs to undo, reimagine and retell myths that have solidified as truth; deconstruct and reconstruct significant forms, relationships, and projects; and work with creative breakage, scavenging, and assemblage while endings and transitions demand new variables and outcomes. ⁣ Rose Blakelock and I have teamed up for a 2-part process with this astrology that involves repatterning relationships with opportunity and gain, meditations on messages coming through the specifics of your natal chart, and a scavenger hunt that will lead you to deconstruct and reconstruct a significant area of your life that’s ready for innovation.⁣ We invite you to enjoy this episode as a guided meditation and writing practice and also to JOIN THE WORKSHOP SERIES where you will learn a lot more about the astrology of this retrograde and how to work with your own natal chart to make the best use of this cycle. We will be holding a listening space on June 13 for folks to share, show, and tell about how they worked with this process.
