Mercury Retrograde and Fifth Chakra
Astrology is communication between planets. Communication which deals with fifth chakra involves the one who provides information and the one who receives it. If one of those two people is not there, then it is impossible to talk about communication. Planets are constantly telling us something, but how open are we to hearing them?
As much as planets “talk” to us, we also need to talk to them. To understand your natal chart requires honest communication, especially with oneself. But also with people around us and with Universe, as well as awareness that every word is invitation to experience.
Whatever we are talking about, in this way we send millions of invitations for experiences and events that sleep in the Universe. Those experiences are in your natal chart, too. Accordingly, we receive situations as “gifts” or “punishments” in relation to what we said. When our words match our emotional state, then almost immediately there are consequences.
Communication and Mercury retrograde
Conversations about failed relationships or marriage problems have same vibration as everything else around us. Talking we bring those vibrations even more into life. That’s why we need to pay attention to music we listen to. Lyrics of songs can reinforce exactly what we don’t want in our love life.
Here is an example of how we influence our fifth throat chakra. Retrograde Mercury in Aquarius is the one who awakens others to some new thinking. It is also someone to whom is important that everyone is OK with decisions that are made. People with this position know how to say shocking things or just the right thing, but at the wrong time. Their honesty can often be intimidating for others or turn them away.
Person with this position has often said, “it doesn’t matter” since beginning of school, which is symbolized by rulership of Mercury. It became something she was unconscious of.
Fifth chakra healing process
For every thing or situation, her answer was exactly this. Few years later, she began to wonder why she couldn’t have the kind of relationship that all her friends had. Also, she often had a problem with sore throat and cough.
Because of Mercury’s conjunction with Venus, which indicated love of books, writing and pleasant communication, problem was what this person said on autopilot and unconsciously programmed natal Mercury. She actually “corrupted it”. Problem was not in natal position of planet, but in her attitude, what she repeated and emotional state that went with it.
By doing affirmations, studying NLP and starting work on energy cleansing, she began to notice this phrase “it doesn’t matter” more and more. She began to pay attention in which situations she repeated it. These were always situations in which she had opportunity to verbally communicate how she felt and say what she wanted. She would decide ”it doesn’t matter” and close this chakra.
Healing fifth chakra
I suggested that she drop the phrase “it doesn’t matter” completely for a week. As nothing in life is by chance synchronicity becomes more and more obvious as we return to ourselves. She no longer accepted that something “doesn’t matter” because everything in life is important.
By paying attention to what she says, writes and thinks, her emotional situation changed drastically within a few weeks. Just by paying attention to what she was saying, fifth chakra was activated. It was purified and balanced and situations that would hurt her were no longer needed.
Throwing this short phrase “it doesn’t matter” and pausing for moments every time she would usually say it, she changed mde a change. This resulted in vibrational change of natal Mercury. Her relationships with others brought higher quality energy to fifth chakra.
First it affected her friends and then her emotional life. Also, pain she had for a long time in her hand, where heart meridian and lung acupuncture points are located, completely disappeared. She let go and allowed herself to be who she was. This is just one of many examples.
What phrase do you unconsciously repeat that has the effect you don’t want?
Since Mercury retrograde in Cancer starts on 29th of June, take a pen and paper. Look at text messages you send to family members, partners, children, colleagues, friends. Write down which words appear frequently. What is the structure of vocabulary? Are there more positive or negative adjectives?
Start building your new personality, project or a elationship with new positive thoughts. Remember whenever you are in the beginning, if thoughts you have are not healthy then nothing can go in right direction.
Don’t forget to praise yourself even for smallest success you notice during the next couple of weeks. Don’t be hard on yourself even if things don’t go immediately as you imagined. Smile if you’re stressed and if you need to make a decision, slow down a bit. Or say nothing at all and enjoy the silence.
Transformed fifth chakra
It is also possible that during Mercury retrograde we “detect” few sentences that, when we think about it a little more, we see that they basically do not please us. They “worked” against us all the time. For each of those phrases, try to find an alternative and completely eliminate them from use.
Point is that if we say those sentences, then you say them aware of their vibratory value. Play around and try doing this for a couple of weeks as an experiment. No word is irrelevant!
As we change our vocabulary, we will “adapt” planets to ourselves with our energy. Pay attention to what kind of music you listen to and what content you are exposed to both unconsciously and consciously.
It is useful to go to assertive trainings where you learn about communication methods and rights. It can imply that we do not agree with everyone. But everyone has the right to different opinions and lifestyles. It is necessary to take responsibility and be aware of possible consequences.
