Hi angels,
How are you feeling in all of this?
We’re in the swirl of Mercury Retrograde again, and whether you’re deeply attuned to it or barely noticed until your texts glitched, this retrograde in Leo and Cancer has a very particular kind of energy. It’s emotional. It’s nostalgic. And it’s asking us to listen…not just to others, but to ourselves.
Lately I’ve been noticing how often we rush to respond, to explain, to push through the fog and get it right. But Mercury Retrograde offers us something different and wildly supportive - a pause. A little pocket of space where we get to ask:
Do I still believe this?
Do I need to say that out loud?
What if I just…rewrote the message?
That’s where this Tarot spread came from. I like to think of this as a quiet invitation to check in with your voice, your truth, and your timing. To reflect instead of react. To revise instead of repeat.
If you’ve been feeling misunderstood, stuck in an old pattern, or unsure what to say (or not say), this one’s for you, angel!
