Mercury Retrograde A-Comin’

Hey Occulties,

I truly love this site because they show the shadow period and that can suck sometimes worse than the full retrograde. So, for those of you who totally don't click links because why should you, that means the shadow period starts June 20. That gives you just shy of a week before things potentially get all fucky. It doesn't mean panic, and I think the site itself explains the common planetary retrograde very well. 

That said, if experience has taught me anything, people with communication problems in their relationships will be coming to me very soon. 😉 That's good – BUT, we are almost reaching the "Cat has to stop taking new (never before seen) clients for a short time to finish her book," part of the year (July – all people I've worked for before, however, are free to get new work during that time, and new clients who purchased prior to that time will continue to receive attention,) and that will coincide with some Mercury Retrograde. 😦

In an effort to assist those of you who might find yourself in a foul situation, and you don't know me so I'm like "Talk to me in August" (I admit to being a more giving person when I've actually worked for you before – so if I haven't worked for you before it could happen,) the easiest thing I know to help with blocked or bad communication is to get an orange candle, carve "(Name of target) communicate with me" UP (base to wick) the side of the candle anoint with roadopener oil, roll this in tobacco, lemongrass and sugar, and try to charge this with orange energy, envisioning you and your target freely conversing. Now place this in a fireproof dish (I prefer a pie plate with sand in the bottom,) and light this as you say "I keep open all the channels of communication between myself and (name of target,) and strengthen our bonds of love and of friendship, that we continue to speak our minds and hearts to each other, free from any blockage between us, as is my will, so be it." Let that candle burn out. It should restart communication. 

HOWEVER, if you find yourself in a really big mess, you can always contact me. I love fixing big problems. 🙂
