Our messenger pal, Mercury, gets a bad wrap. Every time we get ready to head into a Mercury Retrograde period, all of the memes and moans of despair surface. Oh no!!!! Everything is about to go to shit!

I call bullshit! Is it fun? No, not always, but Mercury truly assists us by calling attention to that which needs revisiting, reviewing, refining, or retuning. How can you navigate this next retrograde period from August 4th-28th? Here are a few suggestions of what has helped me in the past:

• Allow extra time to complete tasks or to run errands/get to appointments

• Be as well rested and hydrated as possible

• Pair up with a Merc Retro buddy; someone you can check in with, ask for extra support, laugh with when things go sideways

• Make sure all electronics are backed up in advance

• Make sure car maintenance tasks are completed in advance (got my oil change last week!)

• Create pockets for rest and additional downtime wherever possible

• Keep some of my favorite communication and grounding crystals with me at all times(obsidian, black tourmaline, amazonite, sodalite)

• Keep a dream journal on the nightstand(I get an abundance of information and downloads in dreamtime during Merc. Retro)

• Lead with curiosity and compassion, try to minimize assumptions

All of these tips are really helpful anytime but I have found them to be especially useful during Mercury Retrograde periods. What has helped you in the past? I would love to hear.

For the month of August, I am offering a special 5 card oracle reading and 60 minute Zoom coaching call to help support you in exploring which areas of your life could benefit from some review and refining. You can show up with specific questions or show up open and ready to explore what comes up.

Book your spot today. I would love to support you.

What can you expect from coaching with me?

“Leslie is a confident and dynamic coach! I didn’t realize how much it helps to stay motivated when someone else believes in you. Leslie holds a space that is safe, unconditional, and unapologetic. She has unapologetically called out my limiting beliefs and challenged them head-on with compassion. I was completely scattered, and a single call helped me clear my cluttered thoughts. Leslie is organized, thoughtful, and skilled. I’m grateful to have access to her coaching gifts.”
