Mercury Retrograde is here—and if things feel messy, it’s not a sign to push harder. It’s a cue to pause, process what’s been simmering under the surface, and get clear before you move forward. I’m hosting a free Conscious Retrospective on Wed, March 11 at 7pm ET to help you do exactly that.
Everywhere around me right now, I see “chaos”.
People are breaking down at work, and my own mother even called me to ask “is something weird going on with the moon??”
It is unlike any chaos I have seen before. It’s as if we’re running in circles putting out fires but not gaining any real momentum in any direction.
And looking at the energy we’re sitting in right now, I think this is what it looks like when we try to force progress while we still have things left unprocessed under the surface.
Maybe it’s unprocessed grief. Or disappointment. Or anger. Or shame. Or a loss of faith that what you’re doing is actually going to work.
Trust me, I’ve been there.
And continuing to push forward is not going to give you the clarity you’re looking for. It just creates more directionless motion.
Which is why I’m genuinely excited that Mercury Retrograde starts today — giving us a cosmic permission slip to pause, stop pretending we’re fine, and figure out what needs to be resolved before we start moving forward again.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces
This retrograde is happening in the dreamy, often elusive sign of Pisces. So if you’re left brained, you’re going to have to stretch beyond your comfort zone and go deeper than a bullet list of things you want to “fix”.
Pisces speaks in feelings and symbols. It uses subtle intuition to guide you towards the answer. It’s comes through as that sense of knowing before you have the words or the logic to explain.
You might experience:
The sense that you’re “behind”, even if you can’t name what you’re measuring yourself against
Emotional static — everything feeling like too much. Emotional responses that seem disproportionate to what’s happening are often a sign that something much deeper is being triggered
A strange inability to force focus or push progress the way you usually can (I’m looking at you, Capricorn)
Old stories resurfacing and making you question, “What if I’m wasting my time?”, “What if I’m not built for this?”, “What if I’m too late?”
As painful as it may be, Mercury Rx in Pisces is going to show you the truth.
So what you’ll be asked to contemplate now is:
What is the feeling that you’ve been trying to outwork?
Where did you slip into scarcity — of time, energy, support, faith — and start living from that place?
Because it’s the fear and not-enoughness that’s making everything feel like a fire. It’s what makes even good opportunities feel like pressure or obligation.
This retrograde is specifically an opportunity to notice the edges you missed when you pushed through your uncertainty and tried to keep moving without stopping to check in with how you really feel.
And it just so happens that helping you understand those feelings is my zone of genius.
Join me for the first Conscious Retrospective
When: Wednesday, March 11th at 7:00 PM EST
Registration: Free
Conscious Retrospective is a structured group reflection call with live Q&A so we can come together in community to support each other as you identify what needs clarity or resolution so you’re prepared for when it’s time to move forward again.
This borrows the best of a corporate retrospective (clear prompts, honest reflection, practical next steps) and applies it to your real life: your work, business, or personal development — while honoring the energy of the season.
We will talk briefly about the energy of this retrograde, but this call is not a predictive reading or forecast.
It will be an opportunity to see what’s been costing you time/energy/peace and decide what you’re ready to revise, release, or recommit to.
You’ll leave with:
A clear understanding of how to use this Mercury Retrograde cycle
Insight into what to stop, start, or continue
Clarity you can actually move with once this retrograde ends
If you seem “fine” but are quietly fried, you’re not alone. This is exactly the moment where a conscious reset can change everything.
Hope to see you there.
