🌒 Coming Out of Mercury Retrograde — Reflect, release & realign
Mercury has finally gone direct as of August 11th 🪐✨
If you’re feeling a little raw, shaken, or like you’ve been spun around in a cosmic washing machine… you’re not alone.
This retrograde brought curveballs for so many of us — miscommunications, tech chaos, unexpected endings. Personally? I’ve lost long-term relationships I thought were unshakable. It’s been messy, emotional, and at times, deeply disorienting.
And here’s the truth: no one is coming out of this the same person they were when it began. Mercury retrograde has a way of pulling up the rug and showing us what’s been gathering dust underneath. Sometimes, that means letting go of what no longer fits our soul.
🦁 The Roar Still Echoes
Even though Mercury retrograde has wrapped up, the energy of the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal is still echoing through the cosmos. That roar is carrying your intentions far and wide, making right now a perfect time to:
- Manifest your goals and desires
- Get clear on your next steps
- Focus on the good that’s already in your life
Think of this moment as a cosmic green light — you’ve been cleared, cleansed, and now you’re ready to create.
🪞 Shadow Work Questions for Post-Retrograde Growth
- What did I resist letting go of, and why?
- Where did I notice repeated patterns during this retrograde?
- What truths surfaced that I can’t ignore anymore?
- How did my relationships shift — and what do those changes reveal about my needs?
- What boundaries do I need to reinforce to protect my energy?
🔮 Cleansing Energy Ritual
To reset your energetic field after all this cosmic chaos:
- Salt Bath or Shower – Visualise all stagnant or heavy energy dissolving away.
- Burn Cleansing Herbs – Sage, rosemary, or palo santo to purify your space.
- Write & Release – Journal any lingering frustrations or grief, then safely burn or bury the page.
- Crystal Support – Keep clear quartz or selenite nearby to maintain a clean, high vibration.
✨ Mini Manifestation Ritual
The post-retrograde + Lion’s Gate echo is a rare energetic combo — here’s how to use it:
- Set the Mood – Light a gold or white candle to represent clarity and success.
- Hold a Crystal – Citrine, tiger’s eye, sunstone, or green aventurine work beautifully right now.
- Speak Your Desire – Out loud, three times, with conviction. Example: “I am open to new opportunities, aligned with abundance, and ready to receive the blessings meant for me.”
- Visualise – Spend 8 minutes picturing exactly what your life looks like once your manifestation has arrived. Feel the emotions you’d have in that moment.
- Release It – Blow out the candle, knowing the universe has heard you.
🌠 Moving Forward
If Mercury retrograde was the storm, this is the clearing sky. The air feels different now — fresher, more open. This is your time to take the lessons you’ve gathered and use them as fuel for the next chapter.
We might not be the same people we were before, but that’s the beauty of it. Growth often looks like change, and change often looks like chaos in the moment.
