(01:15):
the Feeling Like Podcast. I'm your host, Keith and Russell.
Thank you for joining. Thank you to Paranormal Buzz Radio
for being my podcast host. Feel free to uh listen
it of course, but also chat and uh you know,
(01:37):
if you have any questions, by all means, you know,
let me know. So I wanted to talk about mercury
retrograde and what does that mean for you. So it's
a lot to take in. I don't know if you
what you know about it, what you what you don't
(02:00):
know about it? But maybe you know, maybe you're an
expert on it, maybe you have no clue what I'm
talking about. So basically, when cosmic shifts occur in the universe,
(02:22):
it can impact our life in a really profound way.
I mean, I could go down the rabbit hole about
planets and all that. Really it's a lot to get
into and how it all works. I mean, I'm even
taking an astrology class, so you get into things like
(02:45):
your house sign, your rising sign. But anyway, what I'm
going to talk about tonight is one of these cosmic shifts,
and it's called mercury retrograde. So what does that mean Anyway,
(03:11):
mercury retrograde, And there are also two other events which
are occurring now or will occur in May, that I
want to make note of, and then I want to
kind of tie it all in together. So just just
bear with me here, and why is this such a
big deal. So mercury retrograde, basically, what it means is
(03:38):
that a planet goes retrograde when it appears to rotate backward.
It's not really rotating backward, but it appears to rotate backward.
So it lasts for about three weeks, and it occurs
(04:01):
like three or four times a year. So right now
it started I think it was on the seventh. I'm
not quite sure, but it's going now through May fourteenth.
Then it comes again August twenty first through September fourteenth,
and then from December thirteenth to January of twenty twenty four.
(04:28):
I don't have the exact date, but I will always
share that for you. So there are also two other
events that are occurring. Another event that's occurring that started
on May first, that goes through October first is that
(04:51):
when Pluter goes to retrograd retrograde, so that's happening now.
And then also on May nineteenth we have the new
moon and Taurus, so we have a lot going on
with our planets. So what does this mean? So Mercury
(05:17):
was the messenger from God who ruled all forms of communication,
but that was his main job. So when Mercury goes recrogade,
this was when part of it. Things go can go haywire,
your communication, miscommunication happens, maybe your app stop working, your
(05:43):
emails are all wonky. You can't put your thought out
thoughts out. You feel like you're kind of you're stuck
and you can't get out of it. It feels very uncomfortable.
Mercury retrograde. You know, I work in I've worked in
(06:04):
customer service, I've worked in a call center, and you
can generally tell when either a full moon or a
mercury's going retrograde because you'll say, oh my gosh, these
calls I'm getting are absolutely insane. They're they're they're absolutely crazy,
(06:29):
and you might be going, oh my gosh, I can't
believe I said that, or I can't get the words
out whatever, and it's because these events are are going on,
so it just absolutely goes nuts. So one of the
(07:02):
this also absolutely coincidentally happens to be mercury retrograde in Taurus.
So what does that mean? So Tauris isn't Taurus is
an Earth's signe And one of the traits of the
Taurus is that And I know because I'm a Taurus,
that's my that's my son's sign that we are loath
(07:26):
to change. So this time period with mercury retrograde, it
may be extremely frustrating your patience. Where's thin when things
are broken and need to be fixed. So if you
feel aren't communicating well or not all being heard, this
could be the reason. It just makes it go absolutely bonkers.
(07:58):
So how how do you get through it well? When
when mercury goes to retrograde. Basically, the first thing you
need to do is just take things slower and have patience,
really think things through before you say anything or send
that email. You'll be careful when you are signing contracts,
(08:24):
when you are doing any sort of paperwork. You know,
maybe you're getting ready to go out, you're thinking maybe
this would be in a good time for a car
and all that, and then you have mercury and retrograde
(08:44):
and so we think, okay, so this is when paperwork
and communication you all crazy. So what do I do? So,
like I said, you just have to really think things through,
take it slower, have patience. Okay. So then we have
(09:09):
which I think will really help you, is when Pluto
goes retrograde. And that's happening now. So with Pluto and retrograde,
it helps counterbalance mercury and retrograde because it's like opening
(09:30):
this intense portal it opens up transformations and rebirth, and
this is a good time for revelations. Okay, So if
things are all crazy and then chaotic, and you take
your time and you go slow and you really really
(09:52):
thinks things through, then some information can be revealed about
your passed or maybe it was a mistake you made
that's weighing in on you. It's like your aha moment
that you need to address in order to move forward.
(10:14):
Mercury and Retrograde says, well, you don't go so fast
and make this huge decision decision that can leads you
down a path you weren't ready for. So hold off.
So use this time to take in information and truly
truly process it, gather your thoughts, maybe write it in
(10:37):
a journal. Nothing has to feel rush. Time is your gift.
So Pluto and Rectrograde is all about truth uncovered. It
could also offer profound emotional healing, regeneration, renewal, and rebirth.
(11:04):
And sometimes if you're seeing numbers like one one, one, five, five,
five or eleven eleven, those are signs that you're protected
and the universe is sending you a sign that you
know that that everything's gonna be working out. Let me
(11:30):
see if I've got a chat here, I don't have
anything in the chat as of yet, but you know,
I welcome your questions as always. So then we have
the new moon in Taurus, so that's also in tourists,
(11:51):
and that occurs on May nineteen. Now this is another
useful tool in your Mercury retrograde tool on it. So
another sign of Taurus is that they're known to be practical.
So this is actually a good time to set concrete
(12:13):
goals that you are ready to put in motion. So
Mercury retrograde, it's all about things kind of going wonky
and have the potential of causing stress. But the new
moon says that's okay, because this is a time where
(12:36):
you can set your goals write them down. So what
I do is I write three things that I want
to make happen, and I set a specific time frame.
(12:56):
I make them challenging but achievable. You know, I dream,
I'm realistic, but I also also dream being So for example,
I'm just thinking here, so my goal I would love
(13:20):
to be able to sing. So I could say, all right,
my goal is to sing, But I know in my
heart of hearts that I'm a lousy singer. I would
probably make people cry if I say in a very
bad way. So is that a realistic goal? Not really,
(13:45):
But I can challenge myself to use my voice in
another way, you know, make myself be heard that people
will react to you in a public form. So last year,
around this time, I set an intention. I wanted to
(14:10):
either be a guest on a podcast or I wanted
to be a guest on a radio show to either
read cards or talk about reiki or any of this stuff.
And so I wrote it down on a piece of paper.
So that was one of my goals. Hey, Shay, Hey Shelly,
(14:33):
Hi everybody, Hi, many are meaning sorry. I wrote it down.
So what you can do is write these goals down
and you can perform a ritual like I often do.
(14:53):
I take my little cauldron that I have, my little
metal cauldron, I write my piece of a paper. I
take it outside and I face the new moon, and
I crumple them up and put them in the cauldron.
I say a little prayer and then I burn the
paper and the cauldron, and then I douse it with
(15:17):
some moon water. If you don't, if you can't do
that safely for whatever reason, very simple, all you have
to do is write it on pieces of paper, say
a little prayer or incantation, whatever you may want. You know,
(15:38):
take the energy from the universe. And these are my
goals from sending this out to the universe. I wish
to receive them back and then you can crumple them
up and throw them away. So you have mercury retrograde,
Pluto retrograde, and then you have the new Moon. So
(16:02):
when I talk about mercury retrograde opening up a chance
at transformation and rebirth, you know, this is a great time,
like I said, for revelations about your past or you
(16:23):
know something that maybe you're too unsure of, you know,
So mercury retrograde, if you've heard some of it, Oh
my god, mercury is in retrograde. It's awful. Well, not
necessarily because it can reveal a lot about It can
reveal a lot about what has deeper meaning, and it
(16:47):
can actually offer you a gift. And then when you
have the pluto and retrograde, you also have this other
cosmic shift which is also a gift, and that brings
you a chance to really connect deeply spiritually with the
(17:12):
universe and be one and your whole. I don't want
to say psychic because I think that word gets over
used as well, but it's it is kind of a
psychic gift in a way. Your third eye has a
(17:34):
chance to expand and open as your third eye is
the one that's in the middle of your forehead, and
it opens up your path to something that goes deeper
and farther, farther out than something you can physically touch.
(17:58):
It brings you closer to the universe, basically is what
it does. So if you have any questions, you know,
feel freedom propping in the chat, you know you might
(18:20):
be going through some turmoil turmoil right now in your life,
so think about mercury and retrograde. That could be the
cause of it. Something that might help you too with
dealing with mercury and retrograde is you tap into your
(18:42):
inner inner cancer trait, even if you're not a cancer.
So really get in touch with your emotions because that
also is something that's occurring. Coincidentally, the it goes into
cancer from May seventh to June first, and Venus is
(19:08):
all about love. It includes everything from our love language
how we express our love, to our sensuality and our
values in relationships. It's a water sign. It's about our
emotions kind of free flowing. So the message here, this
(19:30):
is another cosmic shift as well, is either give yourself
love that you receive from your mother when you were little,
remember that time. Or give yourself love you needed but
maybe you didn't receive but you needed, you know, show
(20:00):
yourself some love. This is all a time also to
deepen relationship, practice self care. You might want to call
your cousin you haven't talked to in ages and reconnect.
(20:20):
So these are all things that are in your metro
mercury retrograde toolbox that you can use. And I'm going
to be talking more in depth about astrology down the
road and how the planets play into I know how
our lives are are dictated and what impact they have
(20:47):
on our lives, but I just wanted to give you
some examples of how the planets and the universe can
influence our daily life. So you have mercury retrograde, which
is traditionally seen as a bad thing. Oh my god,
(21:16):
stay away from mercury and retrograde. It's terrible, But you
can also look at it like, oh, this is a gift.
You know, if you take the time too, before you
open your mouth, really think before you speak. Sometimes you
might feel like the impulse is to get your words
(21:37):
out there without really thinking about what you're saying. And
so this time a year, when this is going on,
if you do that, then you can get you in
a lot of trouble or it just things don't come
off as well. But if you sit back and take
(21:59):
your time and think about Venus being in cancer and
thinking about just taking your time and being slow, then
it gives you a chance to rebound from it as
(22:22):
it were. Hopefully this is all making sense. It's a
lot to get through, hm. So anyway, you know another
(22:43):
thing that that tourists tourist trade is that I know
that a lot of tourist qualities means that you love
feeling good, You like luxury, you like the finer things
in life, and you like having that warm blanket over you.
(23:08):
You know if you ever noticed that. So even if
you're not a Taurus, but you may have a Taurus
qualities in you. So this is why it's important to
embrace those qualities because you're going to be in a
time of chaos with this whole retrograde thing. So you
(23:30):
want to make sure that you're taking good care of yourself.
You want to make sure that you're, like I said,
practicing self care, that you're that you're taking a deep breath,
because I'm all about, you know, making sure that you
(23:51):
take a deep breath and practicing self care, whatever that
may be. So I've done a lot of I've done
a lot of talking about the different cosmic shifts, and
(24:12):
it just amazes me that when we think about the
changes that are coming up, how much the universe plays
a party, and so a lot of people there might
(24:38):
be some people who a lot might might say, well,
this is going wrong, or that's going wrong, or this
is going on. Oh, mercury is in regigrade. So that's why,
well that's that's part of it. But you have to remember,
this is why I kind of talk about the other
cosmic shifts that are that are happening at the same time,
(25:01):
because for every negative, there's also something powerful that's going on.
So you just have to tap into it and use
those tools to help you get through some pretty challenging times.
(25:24):
So I am taking a class with my mentor, Mary
Dalla and hopefully she'll be a guest on one of
my podcasts, but we're going to talk about more in
depth about the planets and what happens when they go
and retrograde, and what happens when they're in different houses
(25:48):
of the zodiac and how that works. So I think
you'll really be fascinated by it. But let me know
what you think. Anybody have any thoughts or comments. So
(26:09):
Patty says, I work in customer service too. This week
has been a doozy. The full moon plus the retro cratee.
Oh yeah, that's right. We had the full moon as well.
I totally forgot about that. Yeah, but when the full
moon goes crazy, it's when the full moon is happening.
(26:30):
It's it's absolutely insane, you know. I know, Patty and
I work. I've worked in customer service, and you know,
you can just tell what it's going to be a
full moon. We'll get into moons as well, because I
love the moon. I follow, you know, the different phases
(26:51):
of the moon. I have a moon app on my
phone and so you can look at what phase the
moon is in today and what that means. You know,
what is it in wane give us or waxing give us?
And what exactly does that mean? So it's amazing really
when you get down to it, just how powerful the
(27:14):
planets are and how they and the moon and how
they help interact with you know, impact our life and
Patty Say's school see an uptick. I'm crazy too, Yeah,
(27:37):
oh yeah, that's right. Shade. The moon was a bright
orange last night. Yeah, I remember seeing that on the news,
and Amber says, working in mental health and dealing with
the full moon or retrograde is crazy. Yeah, it can be.
I mean, it kind of all makes sense really if
you think about it. And it's been going on for
(28:00):
thousands of years. So like I said, there's ways that
you can cope with that. I know, for me with
my day job, I reach out to someone and say,
can I just run this pie you first before I
(28:22):
send it? You know, take a step back, because I
think we've all been guilty of just coming out with
whatever comes off the top of our head and it
can just come out totally wrong. So just take a
(28:42):
deep breath and just know that it's temporary. I mean, yes,
it happens three or four times a year, and you know,
I don't I don't know how many full moons we have,
well we have, we have twelve twelve new moons and
twelve full moons a month, the new moon. I'm partially
of the new moon because hey, it's the new moon,
(29:04):
and it gives you a chance to you know, bring
your your goals to life and to really reflect on it.
And you know, the the full moon is kind of
a gift too, because, like I said, I'll get to
kind of like what you do with with the moon
cycles in another podcast but another episode. But when you
(29:29):
even with the full moon, you can look at it
as a as a gift, Patty says Luna Lunatica. Oh
that's so funny, Patty. Yeah. You know, the ancient our
answerstors believed in a different planet and the moon cycles
(29:51):
and how the sun works and all that, and there's
there's a reason for it, you know, and there's a
there's a huge question of you know, the universe and
why are we here and all that, So you know,
this is it all kind of makes sense if you
(30:13):
really think about it. So to recap, we have Mercury retrograde,
which is ending on the fourteenth, and then right now
we're in Pluto retrograde, and remember that runs through October tenth,
(30:35):
and that's that that opens into that super intense portal
of transformation for you. And don't forget we have venus
and cancer from now until June first, and then you
(30:59):
have the new moon in Taurus on May nineteenth. So
just remember that life can be pretty crazy when mercury
goes retrograde, but it doesn't have to right. Mercury retrograde
(31:21):
ends May fourteenth, Patty, and kudo retrograde ends in October,
and I usually post these dates on my Healing Light page,
and oh yes, if you want to find me, I
should let you know that. So if you go to
the Healing Light an H, I have a Facebook page
(31:44):
that's dedicated to that, The Healing Light. I'm on TikTok
as well, but I never post there because I don't
want to do all those videos. I'm on Twitter as
the Healing Light at H, and I'm on Instagram as
the Healer like an H. So look for me there,
(32:04):
like my page, share it I post. I do daily
tear a card readings oracle readings. I'll post stuff about
mercury retrograde and the moons and all that. So hopefully
that you you've learned a little bit more about mercury
(32:25):
retrograde than you do now, and hopefully the main line
is yes, it can cause things to go a little
crazy and haywire, but you can You're going to make
it through it because you've got tools in your toolbox.
And thank you Patty for sharing that. So thank you
(32:46):
all for listening in tonight. I really appreciate it. As always,
I welcome your feedback show suggestions. My next broadcast in June,
I'll make sure that I let you know what that's about.
(33:07):
But you're you're gonna want to tune in for that
as I have a special guest who's going to be on.
And you reach out to you let me know what
you what you want to hear from from a psychic
medium who reads tarot cards and oracle cards and is
(33:30):
a raking master. So thank you very much. I will
see you all next month, and remember you got this.
Take Gary one. Bye bye
