Mercury Retrograde gets blamed for everything – broken tech, stalled plans, wonky emotions and the odd meltdown in the middle of Tesco. But is it really that dramatic, or have we all just absorbed a load of doom-scroll mythology?

In this episode, we take a grounded, no-nonsense look at retrograde: what it is, what it isn’t, and how you can actually use it to support your life and business instead of hiding under a blanket waiting for it to pass.

We talk about the unexpected gifts that come with this season – slowing down, checking back in, fixing what needs attention and spotting the patterns we’ve been too busy to notice. We explore where retrograde can genuinely trip us up, where the myths have taken over, and how to navigate the wobblier moments without spiralling.

We also offer simple journal prompts to help you use this end-of-retrograde window as a reset: a moment to review, recalibrate and make small changes that add up to big clarity.

No fear. No superstition. Just a practical, human conversation about reflection, progress and working with the season instead of fighting it.
