Numerology Guide To Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde is a gift to your soul!

That’s probably not what you’d expect to hear about this infamous transit in astrology. Yet, the Universe is truly offering you the most benevolent love-tap when your computer goes haywire and all your communications go amiss.

Mercury is the speedster of the skies. It’s the fastest moving planet in our solar system, zipping along at a dizzying pace.

Aren’t there some days you feel like that too? Perhaps you are racing ahead with your life, either not thinking about what your intentions are, or heading toward goals that no longer feel true to your heart.

Mercury Retrograde makes you slow down. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Those days when your computer freezes and your hard-drive fails, maybe it’s because YOU are in overdrive. Perhaps your computer is showing you that you need to shut down your technology, so you can get outside and reboot your soul.

Mercury governs the mind. When Mercury is in Retrograde, which means it appears to move backwards from the Earth’s perspective, it’s the perfect time to reflect upon intuitive impressions that you might have overlooked throughout your daily life.

There is a connection between your Life Path and Mercury Retrograde. Since each of the Life Path Numbers processes intuitive information in their own unique way, they might make the best use of the reflective energies of Mercury Retrograde. Below you will find your Life Path Number in the numerology guide to Mercury Retrograde.

1 Life Path

You’re always so full of inspired ideas! As a 1 Life Path, your purpose is to learn to have the confidence to follow-through on your brilliant inspirations, and put them into action!

Though Mercury Retrograde might not be the easiest time to move forward with your plans, you CAN use this time to remember all the visions that have come to you. Connect your ideas and ambitions with your heart to see which ones need to be brought to life. Chances are, you tucked some dreams away that are ready to come true!

2 Life Path

You’re such a sensitive soul! As a 2 Life Path, you naturally FEEL things very deeply. Yet, perhaps you’re so busy pleasing other people, and making sure everyone else is happy, you don’t always make YOUR happiness a priority. If you find yourself overwhelmed, or over-emotional, it’s because you need to take time to catch up with your feelings. Journaling is a wonderful way to express your emotions.

Perhaps you need to have a conversation with the loved ones in your life and let them know what’s on your mind and in your heart. Make sure you’re allowing your imagination to wander. That’s a wonderful way to tune into your dreams and desires, and let them begin to take shape.

3 Life Path

Even when Mercury is not in retrograde, you most likely have a tendency to keep your feelings to yourself. Since you’re so sensitive, in an effort to avoid rejection or disappointment, you can avoid expressing how you truly feel. This buries your emotions deeper and deeper.

You can use this time while our communication planet is in reversal to connect with those feelings you have been hiding from yourself and others. USE YOUR VOICE to share your feelings. Have that conversation you’ve been avoiding. Start that creative project you’ve been dreaming about. It’s time for you to show the world that you really are!

4 Life Path

4 is the number that relates to the Earth and all matters of the material world. Home, family, career and finances are all priorities for you. No matter how spontaneous and adventurous you are, you crave security and make your choices accordingly.

You might not like systems and order, yet your soul chose a Life Path where you need to learn how to create them. Mercury Retrograde is the perfect time to revisit the foundations of your life and square your corners.

One of your life’s lessons is to learn patience and process. That’s precisely what the trickster planet is teaching you now. If things aren’t moving forward as fast as you would like, perhaps it’s time to revisit your steps and find new ways of manifesting your goals.

6 Life Path

Oh, goodness – you’re a busy bee, aren’t you? You tend to take on too much responsibility.

You need to let go of what doesn’t belong to you and begin delegating.

It’s okay if things aren’t done perfectly. It’s more important that you take care of your beautiful self!

7 Life Path

You’ve got quite a head on your shoulders! Your amazingly perceptive mind is always picking up insights and information that others overlook. With your keen Spidey senses, it’s easy for your mind to go into overdrive and think your way through your decisions.

And yet, one of your major life lessons is to learn to TRUST that wonderful intuition of yourself. Mercury Retrograde is divinely designed to help you re-connect with the intuitive information you might have previously overlooked.

So, TUNE IN. That’s the way you’re going to know what your next best step is. Rather than over-think things, try FEELING your way through your next decision. Make sure you GROUND your energy every day by bringing your energy back into your body and imagine that you have roots that connect to the Earth.

When you’re grounded, ask your HEART what’s best for you. The answers are always inside you. Since you’re a mystic at heart (whether you realize it or not!), try using oracle cards to give you clarity. Writing in your journal also does wonders for your soul.

8 Life Path

So many plans, so little time! Isn’t that how you’re feeling right now? You’re a BIG picture person. Of course, that means, you can often take on more than you can handle. Even though you have super human strengths and skills, you must remember that we DO live in the dimension of time and space. Mercury Retrograde is reminding you of that. Here’s a word that can help you – BOUNDARIES.

Yes, the number 8 is the infinity symbol on its side, but that doesn’t mean you have unlimited resources for everything. You need to discriminate what is a worthy investment of your time, money, and energy.

Take a close look at the relationships in your life, and all the commitments you said YES to, and examine what needs you to say NO. Delegate responsibility if you need to. Allow yourself to be supported! Yes, you CAN do everything yourself, but that doesn’t mean you have to!

9 Life Path

You sweet, beautiful soul! Of course, you want to be all things to all people. You are a humanitarian at heart! You take on other people’s cares as if they are your own. There are times, however, when you absolutely need to focus on your well-being. Now is one of those times. If you find yourself taking things personally, it’s because you’re not allowing enough time to yourself to process your feelings. Mercury Retrograde is reminding you to do that.

You also have a deep intuitive knowing about people and circumstances that you sometimes ignore. Use this time as an opportunity to get in touch with your inner knowing. Meditate. Journal. Enjoy time in nature. Above all, honor what you know to be your truth instead of listening to other people’s opinions. You have all the answers inside you. Only you know what’s best for yourself.

11 Life Path

You have so many inspired ideas! Sometimes it’s challenging to keep up with them all. If you’re not acting on your inspiration, your mind can race, and it can be taxing on your nervous system. You are a natural healer. Once you begin to EXPRESS your incredible insights and intuition, your whole life will unfold joyfully. You’re a Master Number, which means you will have greater challenges and bigger opportunities.

One of your life lessons is learning how to become comfortable being unique. Your light is meant to shine brightly, to be a beacon for others. If you’ve been afraid of sharing your gifts or expressing your true nature, Mercury Retrograde is giving you a second chance.

What’s  inside you who’s been tucked away because you’ve been afraid of showing your true self to the world? Pay attention to your dreams – both waking and during your sleep. They are revealing to you some buried treasure. Move your body with plenty of exercise, so you can catch up with that brilliant mind of yours. Most importantly, exuberantly express your true authentic self. The world is waiting for you!

There’s so much more inside you waiting to be shared! You are a Master Number, which means you have greater challenges and greater opportunities. Your wisdom is meant to be passed on to others to benefit the greater good.

Mercury Retrograde is reminding you to have balance between work and play, as well as other people’s needs and your own. Make sure you are receiving support. Let others help you. Delegate. Say “no” when something doesn’t feel right. And most importantly, have fun! Is there a hobby or activity that you absolutely loved that you have neglected?

33 Life Path

Your new mantra is, “Let it go!”. Of course, you can be all things to all people. You can take on responsibility like a superhero. Yet, that might not always be what’s best for you.

Mercury Retrograde is teaching you to let go of trying to control your circumstances and environment. Who better than the trickster planet to do that? Instead of trying to do everything for everyone, make YOUR happiness a priority. Have fun. Create. Play. Be in nature. Allow others to help you!
