The Scorpion Monarch

Just because you share similar types of trauma doesn't mean you get to tell someone how to feel and deal with their trauma. You don't get to tell them what feelings they had. You don't get to say you know better than them because you have been there and healed your s**t (supposedly).

They have to go through their own journey. They have to figure out how they really felt. They have to do their internal work. They have to choose methods that work for them.

Noticing similar on an astrological note:

You can have overlapping heavy trauma themes in charts, but even then.

You don't get to dictate how someone else sees and processes their journey. You don't dictate their feelings.

We can share stories. We can take inspirations. We can certainly keep listening and going information. We can not push stories onto each other. No matter how much we like our own, it is still our own. Let others write, find, and interpret their own (especially when it comes to the trauma/heavy stuff).

Please!

Things that can happen during a mercury retrograde

Car breaks down and makes you have to hunt for a new car

Relearning everything you know about contracts (like car loan contracts)

Delays in shipping

Or things shipping much earlier than you have intended

Things starting later than you expected or earlier than you expected

Traffic jams

Being confused. Not understanding what was said to you. Having to ask to repeat or having to repeat yourself.

Losing your voice (yelling, sick)

Slow/glitch internet

Internet hacks

Learning about how to repair something.

Past exes or old acquaintances trying to get chatty with you (block them please)

If you have dyslexia, be prepared for it to get worse

Typos get worse

Anxiety attacks/panic attacks

Dreaming changes or disruptive dreams

Editing old projects

Revisiting older lessons.

Having to retake a class

"Re" in front of any word that can have it as a prefix

Because this is in cancer, we look at the moon, which changes signs every 2-3 days.

Seeing as that deals with emotions this makes this a pretty rough retrograde on it's own. Emotional breakdowns and outbursts are likely. Clouded judgement is likely.

Honestly, you will want to really take things slowly the next few weeks.

This started in opposition to the full moon as well. So.... yeah, a lot of BS is gonna get cleared out

Did I mention the next retrograde is in scorpio?

Sigh.....

Been there

"myself and other s #!c!d@l people often feel like we can't talk to therapists about being s #!c!d@l b/c of mandatory reporting.

"this is because institutionalization is punishment, not treatment. being committed is terrifying, autonomy-stripping, and literally carceral."
