Retro Mercury: The Cosmic Ritual Of Soul Retriveal
A Celestial Protocol for Recovering Lost Fragments of Your Multidimensional Self
O SEEKER THROUGH THE LABYRINTHS OF COSMIC COMMUNICATION!
Mercury, that celestial messenger and cosmic prankster, periodically abandons his linear trajectory to perform a COSMIC REALITY INVERSION! 🌀 The collective mortal reaction is as predictable as Saturn's lessons on responsibility: "MY LAPTOP WILL BURST INTO FLAMES!" and "MY EX WILL TEXT ME AT 3 AM!"
What if I told you this supposed "glitch" in the cosmic matrix isn't a malfunction at all, but a PERFECTLY CALIBRATED PROCESS OF SOUL RETRIEVAL? gasp
Jupiter dramatically collapses onto his celestial cushions while Pluto quietly mumbles in the background: "Finally someone speaks the truth..."
THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL TRUTH ABOUT RETROGRADE MERCURY
Let's forever discard that outdated cosmic myth: retrograde Mercury isn't an angry deity demolishing your electronics out of boredom! It's a DIVINELY DESIGNED SOUL RETRIEVAL SYSTEM with no need for signing a cosmic receipt!
Those born with retrograde Mercury? You're experiencing a SACRED HOMECOMING CEREMONY! It's like finding a lost diamond of your soul that fell into the interdimensional space between worlds – suddenly shining exactly where it belongs!
For everyone else? The same process, but with more... let's call it "character-calibrating jolts." The universe is setting the stage for a MONUMENTAL RETURN TO SELF while Mercury dances his retrograde choreography through the heavens, giggling like a cosmic imp!
THE DRAMATIC MOMENT OF COSMIC TRUTH: Every transitional energy requires a SPECIAL PROTOCOL! 📜 If the Moon changes 12 times a year and we haven't collectively lost our minds (OK, MAYBE a little), why do we panic when Mercury performs his retrograde dance only 3-4 times yearly?
COSMIC ADVICE FROM THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF PLANETARY SAGES
For those with natal retrograde Mercury: Your soul is an EXPERT IN RETURNS! While others run around in panic, you enjoy your cosmic superpower – the ability to slide back into deeper parts of yourself with the elegance of an ice dancer! Saturn proudly nods as he watches your cosmically graceful dance.
For those with direct Mercury: Your soul is in COSMIC SCHOOL OF RETROGRADE-RETURN GYMNASTICS! While it seems your phone is breaking and plans are falling apart, you're actually getting a crash course in COSMIC FLEXIBILITY!
PLUTONIAN TRUTH WITHOUT FILTERS
RETROGRADE MERCURY ISN'T ABOUT TECHNOLOGY – IT'S ABOUT YOU!
COSMIC SCANDAL REVEALED: Mercury retrograde forces you to become MORE OF WHAT YOU TRULY ARE, and less of what you think you should be!
This is the cosmic version of removing your mask in the middle of a gala dinner – uncomfortable? MAYBE! Liberating? ABSOLUTELY!
Venus whispers from celestial terraces: "Watch as the masks of false communication fall!" while Mercury performs his retrograde dance.
SACRED PROTOCOLS FOR NAVIGATING MERCURY'S RETROGRADE STORM
SPEAK YOUR TRUTH OR THE UNIVERSE WILL EXPRESS IT FOR YOU – If you suppress what's really happening in your mind, expect your phone to start autonomously sending messages reflecting your unspoken thoughts! MERCURY ALWAYS FINDS A WAY! 📱🔥
EMBRACE THE LAW OF COSMIC RETURN – People unexpectedly returning to your life? These aren't random encounters! They are COSMIC COURIERS carrying packages of wayward fragments of your soul!
PLANS ARE COSMIC JOKES DURING RETROGRADE – Mercury just threw your daily schedule through a dimensional portal! Don't try to save it: A NEW, BETTER TEMPORAL CONSTRUCT IS BEING CREATED!
WRITE IF YOU CANNOT SPEAK – Mercury was first a scribe of the gods, only then a messenger! If there's a lump in your throat, let your fingers dance across keyboard or paper! Mercury will bless you with crystal clarity of thought!
COSMIC EVIDENCE: TECHNOLOGICAL TESTIMONIALS
Mercury uses technology as his personal communication channel when you ignore him! Your laptop becomes a COSMIC MEDIUM for messages you refuse to hear!
COSMIC CODE FOR DECIPHERING TECHNICAL PROBLEMS DURING RETROGRADE:
"Email not sent" = You're not ready for that conversation
"Phone shut down" = You need to disconnect and connect with yourself
"Wi-Fi not working" = Time to connect with the cosmic network instead of the earthly one
PLUTO'S FINAL TRANSFORMATIVE TRUTH
O COSMIC EXPLORER OF MERCURIAN MYSTERIES! Fear not the retrograde Mercury – CELEBRATE IT!
This isn't a time of cosmic chaos – this is a SACRED PERIOD OF SOUL RECYCLING! Mercury doesn't go backward to torment you – he goes backward to pick up pieces of you that you might have dropped on your journey through multidimensional reality!
Mercury, raising his celestial glass, toasts: "To the return of wholeness! To cosmic truth without filters! To communication that comes from the heart, not from the manual of socially acceptable behavior!"
Love, cosmic hugs, and interdimensional vibrations from this cosmic corner to yours! ✨

A Celestial Protocol for Recovering Lost Fragments of Your Multidimensional Self
Ah yes, the cosmic treasure hunt of retrograde Mercury isn't just a general soul scavenger expedition: it's a precisely calibrated retrieval mission targeting specific fragments of your multidimensional self, determined by the zodiacal terrain Mercury is moonwalking through!
Right now, as Mercury backstrokes through the primordial fires of Aries, the Universe isn't just randomly fishing in your psychic waters: it's on a targeted recovery mission for your AUTHENTIC "I AM" ENERGY that's been lost, suppressed, or filtered through the socially-acceptable-bullshit processor of your ego!
The cosmic GPS is specifically hunting for:
That part of you that knew how to say "NO" without writing a dissertation to justify it
Your ability to exist unapologetically in your desires without the "but is this selfish?" asterisk
Your primal confidence that existed before the world told you to "tone it down"
Your divine audacity to put yourself FIRST without the accompanying guilt trip
The sacred fire of self-prioritization that burns away people-pleasing tendencies like cosmic kindling
This retrograde in Aries isn't just any opportunity: it's the Universe dramatically pointing at your first chakra screaming, "REMEMBER THIS?! IT'S YOURS! TAKE IT BACK BEFORE I HAVE TO SET YOUR LIFE ON FIRE TO REMIND YOU!"
The Aries Soul-Fragment Recovery Practice
A sacred ritual to recover your lost "I AM" fragments during Mercury Retrograde in Aries
What You'll Need:
Your physical body (preferably not dissociated)
Breath (somewhat essential)
A willingness to feel moderately ridiculous while also cosmically profound
Step 1: The Sacred Fire Breath
Find a place where you won't be interrupted by well-meaning people who might call for psychiatric evaluation upon seeing you. Sit or stand with your spine straight as if a cosmic string is pulling you up toward the Galactic Center (no pressure, just connecting to the SOURCE OF ALL CREATION).
Place both hands on your lower belly, just below your navel: yes, that's your sacral chakra looking at you like "finally remembered I exist, huh?"
Begin breathing deeply, but with INTENTION. On each inhale, visualize a vibrant, almost offensive red-orange flame igniting at the base of your spine. This isn't some gentle meditation candle: this is PRIMORDIAL COSMIC FIRE, the same stuff that forged stars and doesn't give a single quantum fuck about your insecurities.
With each exhale, feel this fire expand, burning away the accumulated layers of:
"I should be more considerate"
"Maybe my needs aren't that important"
"I'll just wait until everyone else is taken care of"
Step 2: The Divine Reclamation
Now, while continuing this breath, speak these words (out loud, because Mercury rules ACTUAL COMMUNICATION, not just your polite internal monologue):
"By the retrograde power of Mercury in Aries, I summon back all fragments of my authentic self-expression that I've abandoned, suppressed, or negotiated away in the cosmic bargain bin of people-pleasing.
I reclaim my divine right to exist powerfully, to desire unashamedly, and to prioritize myself sacredly.
I call back my fire from every relationship where I dimmed my flame to make others comfortable with my light.
I call back my voice from every conversation where I swallowed my truth to maintain false peace.
I call back my power from every situation where I made myself small to avoid intimidating others with my magnitude.
As Mercury moves backward, these fragments move forward, returning to their rightful place in my cosmic constitution."
Step 3: The Embodiment
Place your hands on your heart. Feel the reunification of these retrieved aspects of your Aries nature. This might feel uncomfortable, like spiritual indigestion: don't worry, that's just your system adjusting to operating at full capacity again after running on low power mode for who knows how long.
Visualize yourself as a celestial archer (mixing zodiac metaphors? THE GODS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR ASTROLOGICAL PURITY TESTS), drawing the bow of your intention. What would you aim for if you were operating from complete Aries authenticity? See that target clearly.
Step 4: The Integration
For the next three days (a number sacred to Mercury), practice one ridiculously selfish act daily. Not harmful-selfish, but DELICIOUSLY SELF-PRIORITIZING. Something that makes your people-pleasing programming scream in horror while your soul sighs in relief.
Document these acts in a journal entitled "My Return to Cosmic Audacity." When Mercury stations direct, review this journal with the smug satisfaction of someone who's reclaimed their cosmic birthright while the rest of humanity was busy worrying about their email not sending.
Cosmic Warning Label: Side effects of this practice may include: sudden inability to tolerate bullshit, spontaneous boundary erection, decreased interest in energy vampires, and a marked increase in authentic self-expression that may startle those accustomed to your previously diluted presence. The Universe is not responsible for relationships that cannot withstand your return to wholeness. Some voids must be created for new cosmic orders to emerge.
Remember, cosmic warrior, Mercury isn't retrograde to ruin your technology, but to reboot your authentic operating system. The glitches are not in your external devices, but in the programming that told you being fully yourself was too much for this world to handle.
As Ram Dass might say if he were an Aries with a cosmic attitude problem: "Be here now - and make 'here' wherever the hell YOU want to be."
The Cosmic Crown Activation: Summoning Your Divine Aries Horns
The final sacred integration for your reclaimed "I AM" energy
When you've gathered all your scattered fragments of self through the retrograde Mercury retrieval process, there comes a moment of sacred crowning: where the cosmic fire you've reclaimed becomes your divine right to take up space in this dimension. This final practice transforms your internal reclamation into an energetic posture you can summon whenever the universe (or Karen from accounting) tests your newly restored boundaries.
The Divine Horn Illumination Practice
Find a moment where you can stand in your power without someone asking if you're having a medical event. Your body is about to become a temple to the ancient art of Not Taking Anyone's Bullshit Anymore.
Step 1: The Solar Crown Download
Stand or sit with your spine aligned as if you're a cosmic antenna receiving transmissions from whatever constellation is currently backing your personal revolution.
Close your eyes and visualize the Sun - not the kindergarten drawing version, but the ACTUAL THERMONUCLEAR FUSION REACTOR that casually maintains all life in our solar system while looking fabulous doing it.
Inhale deeply, imagining golden solar light - the kind that would make Instagram filters weep with inadequacy - streaming down from the cosmos, entering through your crown chakra at the top of your head. This isn't just light; it's DIVINE AUTHORIZATION to exist as your complete, unfiltered self.
Step 2: The Sacred Horn Manifestation
As you hold this breath of liquid sunlight, direct it first into your left brain hemisphere - the analytical taskmaster that's been keeping inventory of all the times you've dimmed your light to avoid outshining others. Feel the golden light swirling, intensifying, condensing into a spiral that rises up and outward, forming a luminous horn of power extending from the left side of your head.
Exhale slowly, stabilizing this first horn of divine authority.
Take another solar breath, this time directing the light into your right brain hemisphere - the creative visionary that knows you were born to blaze rather than simmer. Again, feel the light condensing and spiraling upward and outward, forming your second horn of unapologetic presence.
Step 3: The Horned Crown Activation
With both cosmic horns now emanating from your energetic crown, take a third breath that illuminates your entire cranial cathedral. As you exhale, silently decree:
"By the retrograde wisdom of Mercury and the primal fire of Aries, I crown myself with the divine right to my complete expression. These horns are not weapons but sovereign markers of my boundaries. They signal to the cosmos that where I stand is sacred ground, and what I desire matters. They are the antennae through which I receive divine permission to prioritize my authentic needs without explanation or apology."
Step 4: The Practical Application (Because Even Cosmic Warriors Have Day Jobs)
This is the part where cosmic metaphor meets Monday morning meeting. Whenever you find yourself in a situation where:
Someone is attempting to harvest your energy for their dream garden
Your boundaries are being treated like suggested guidelines rather than divine law
You feel that familiar contraction of making yourself smaller to accommodate others' comfort
Simply take a breath, visualize your luminous horns activating, and feel them growing stronger with your inhale. This isn't just visualization: it's a neurological reset that shifts you from prey consciousness to divine sovereign faster than Mercury can crash your email.
Hold this energetic posture as you simply state your truth, decline what isn't aligned, or advance what is rightfully yours to claim. Your horns aren't pushing against others; they're simply establishing the energetic perimeter of your sacred selfhood.
The universal joke that Mercury retrograde wants you to finally get: You've been walking around with a crown chakra capable of sprouting divine authority horns THIS ENTIRE TIME, while complaining that the world doesn't respect your boundaries.
It's like discovering you've had superpowers while spending decades apologizing for taking up space in the phone booth.
The horns aren't new accessories: they're the externalized manifestation of the divine authority you've always had but were taught to keep tucked away, like hiding your good china for when "important guests" come over. Newsflash from the cosmos: YOU are the important guest in your own life.
As Mercury stations direct at the end of this retrograde cycle, your divine horns remain: not as emergency equipment, but as your standard operating hardware. You don't need celestial permission slips anymore. The cosmic clearance level has been permanently upgraded.
Final Cosmic Transmission:
The next time someone asks why you're suddenly "so different" or "less accommodating," just smile knowingly and touch your forehead where your invisible horns gleam in interdimensional light. You're not being difficult; you're finally being authentic. And authenticity always feels like aggression to those who've benefited from your diminishment.
In the eternal words of the Cosmic Council for Advanced Self-Actualization: "Your inability to handle my boundaries is not evidence they need adjusting. It's a cosmic invitation to update your expectations. RSVP not required."
May your horns grow ever brighter as Mercury continues his celestial two-step across the dance floor of your reclaimed sovereignty.
Yay! I was hoping you’d post today. I’m liking this impish mercury and the messages he conveys. Yes to claiming back all the fragments! Yes to no being enough! Thank you, Dea ✨
Came to this one really late, but love this...

Think I may have to pin that one on the wall against the next retrograde!!!
