Mercury RX Survival Kit
Mercury is headed into Shadow once more as we welcome the onset of the next Retrograde period.
As is tradition in our Sacred Arts community, this is a time when we look at the possibilities of aligning ourselves with the Winged Messenger...not running and hiding under the covers in ill-advised fear.
Join us in that alignment through the Mercury Retrograde Survival Kit!
Spring 2025: Danger Zone
Each Mercury Retrograde period has a unique set of challenges and gifts that those who choose to honor this time and dip their wing feathers into Quicksilver magic are able to discover.
This Mercury RX period runs from March 15th – April 7th and occurs in the signs of Aries and Pisces.
When Mercury retrogrades in Aries, the topics we really need to be aware of involve impatience, aggression, and assumptions. Mercury Retrograde always emphasizes miscommunication.
As the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries tends to get in trouble when assumptions are made about people or situations…and then actions based on those assumptions are carried out. Aries (and everyone has Aries somewhere in the natal charts!) is a sign of generosity and kindness, but when Aries is stressed, it becomes aggressive and has a tendency to lash out, this is especially true in communication. As the first sign of the Zodiac,
Aries wants to be the FIRST! This tendency lends itself to a great deal of impatience and impatience leads to mistakes and errors…an even more likely outcome during retrograde season. Remember that this RX period may have you speaking more impatiently and aggressively to people who set you off and also remember that making assumptions during this RX period is NOT a good idea.
On March 30th, Mercury retrogrades from the sign of Aries into the sign of Pisces.
One of the big issues that can come up with Mercury RX in Pisces is that secrets get told and things that have been hidden are suddenly revealed. Mercury RX in Pisces can also lead to challenges around healing, creative work, and also you sense of being in spiritual alignment. Occasionally Ancestor themes or issues can also come up during this time.
The specific dates to be aware of are as follows:

What is included in the Mercury Survival Kit?
✅ The Mercury RX Workbook – retooled this year and coming in at over 50 pages with descriptions for Mercury’s retrograde through each house, over each planet, as well as essential astro points like the Ascendant and Mid-heaven.
✅ The Mercury RX Survival Kit Clear Communication devotional candle.
✅ The Mercury RX Survival Kit ritual – wherein I provide ritual work to support, sustain, and protect you every single day Mercury is in retrograde.
The clear communication devotional candle: Each candle is dressed with a special blend of herbs and roots including Angelica root, Deerstongue leaf, and home-grown organic lemongrass, and topped off with my homemade clear communication ritual oil. It is then blessed with a special Mercury prayer that has been perfected over the years, and finally set to light in my candle houses (please note that no candle reports accompany Mercury RX candles).
Mercury in Retrograde Protection and Prevention Rite: This is a rite I have done for myself and my family over the past three years with great success. It involves a unique petition with very specific incense and the recitation of a hymn held sacred by the God Mercury.
The Mercury RX Survival Kit guidebook including: Six delicious prompts that will help you delve into your relationship with 6 of the areas that Mercury is traditionally believed to influence:
- Communication
- Relationships

New to the Mercury RX Survival Kit?
Over the years I have observed how Mercury RX affects different people. For some, retrogrades are not a big deal — they can read a helpful blog post or two in preparation and then move on with their lives.
For others…not so much. Mercury in retrograde seems to always bring more than its fair share of tech problems, communication break-downs, and heightened nerves and anxieties.
The reason for this of course has to do with our natal charts and the specific placement of Mercury in those charts, but when you are feeling the retrograde drama knowing the reason behind it doesn’t really help.
Enter the Mercury Retrograde survival kit. This is the kit for the person who wants nothing more than to hide under the covers whenever Mercury goes retrograde.
The person who is tired of dealing with yet another fried computer and yet another stressed relationship. The person who needs some deep Mercurial magic-making.
