Crystals for Communication while Mercury is in Retrograde

On September 9th, Mercury retrogrades for its third of four times in 2022, and will remain in retrograde until October 2nd.

When the planet of communication appears to reverse its rotation – as above, so below – things can start to feel a bit out of balance here on Earth.

Miscommunications abound during these periods – avoid jumping to conclusions or making rash decisions. Be prepared for uncooperative technology and heightened emotions – in the digital age, this can be such a frustrating combination.

The best way to glide through these seemingly chaotic times, is to prioritize forgiveness and communication for yourself and for the people you interact with.
