Kinetics of Retrogrades....featuring Upcoming Mercury Retrograde

There is a lot of buzz about planetary retrogrades and how or why they affect us here on earth. Some say that retrogrades are a bunch of bologna. This is far from true so I have moved to Kinetic Science to explain this wonderful energy to you. The planets are in a kinetic alignment continuously moving in a pattern. One affecting the other. Kinetic energy affects our lives on many levels it is energy that is continuously moving and is cycled by one energy connecting with another to create movement. Many people have read my stuff or attended my classes so this will be a little redundant but I have to write this in here for the people who have not had the experience. To begin to understand Kinetic energy many times it will be described using the person peddling a bicycle. The transference of force energy from the person to the pedal that creates motion is known as the kinetic energy. Kinetic energy continues to happen on a deeper level inside our bodies with our atoms and molecules and then on a larger level with the planets.

We know and feel the earth spinning although we have become use to the speed we still know that the earth spins at 1,040 miles per hour. As the planets are in line with each other. When one planet slows down and begins to move at a rate so slow that it feels as if it is moving backwards. I like to compare this to two cars going down the highway together at the same rate of speed when the other car goes from 70 to 30 in just a few seconds we feel a pull on our energy and it throws us off balance for only a moment. This is the same thing that happens when a planet goes retrograde. We feel the pull of the energy as the planet slows down and send things off balance. The planets are aligned much like the chakra points in our bodies each one set a a vibration based on its distance it causes a different affect on what happens here on earth when the planet retrogrades.

Our ancestors knew how each planet affected us based on information passed to them by people who visited our planet and communicated with them. This sounds crazy, but not so crazy if you read the information from our ancestors. They had knowledge of the planets coming from the external portions of space into our solar system. They could describe the planets but never had they been to them. Even if you look at the nights sky we still need a 3-4 inch telescope with lenses to begin to see the planet Mars. Yet according to history telescopes were not invented until the 1600s between Galileo and Lipperhay.

All this aside lets talk about the upcoming Mercury Retrograde. Mercury is the planet of communication this is why we feel the Mercury retrograde more than any other. In relation to the chakras Mercury would be the throat chakra. The throat chakra is very important as it is the central point in our energetic bodies that communicates everything. A retrograde is also a time of cleansing. In its negative influence you are able to get rid of cycles and patterns you do not need. You may have found yourself rather upset about something you would not have been upset about. Sit and mediate with this. This is what is coming for you to work with during this retrograde. If you choose to ignore it, it will only grow worse over time. Retrogrades are a time of deep reflection. They pull up whatever we need to work on and even if we are not willing to cleanse life is always naturally balancing us. So you will go through it even if you don't want to. The difference will be in the energy that you are putting into the changes that are coming. Retrogrades are also the most potent in change energy. So what ever the base energy you are putting into it will be the energy that becomes your garden (so to speak) when it is over. This is why it is best to voluntarily work with the energy and through the problem. You have the universe on your side so let it guide you! Keep yourself at peace and love when you can. And honor your emotions in a positive light when you need to express them during this time. This will help you to plant positive energy into the negative void and create a positive outcome. This is known as transmutating the energy. You get the opportunity to make that which is negative a positive.

So here is the forecast I put together for people during this retrograde period. Always honor yourself and life:

Everyone who is feeling the shake ups and tremors it is about that time Mercury Retrograde is coming. This is a time when it is best to face yourself and find the greatest of patience. Things will get fun in ways that we do not like or expect but hold tight to your love and peace it will be what creates the ground that will support you through. And when you are through it, this will be the energy that will set the tone that will become the changes that are coming with this time in life. Retrograde lasts June 7-July 1. So why are you feeling this now? We are in a waning cycle which is all about cleansings which ends on May 28th. This will be the height of cleansing power. Then we begin to move into the waxing period in which energies build. Retrograde energy also starts to flow between 7-14 days before the actual retrograde in order to prepare for the retrograde coming. This is a good time to sit with the things that have been holding you back and to give them over to a higher power. In this giving you are giving permission to the universe to help you cleanse them and bring in new and positive energy. As you do this it is known as tying your energy into the retrograde. This is the energy that the retrograde will focus on. It will help you to feel less shaken and stirred as the retrograde moves through its cycles. You have amazing Full Moon energy coming up on June 12th which can be used to fuel and ground life into the positive things you have been working on. We are also moving from Taurus to Gemini in this retrograde and then from Gemini into Cancer towards the end. This shows that the time will get chaotic, but it will end in a positive energy. Hold strong to who you are and you will find a positive way through!
