What did you say? Misunderstandings seem to be the name of the game during Mercury Retrograde. Some have more difficulties during retrograde periods than others, but misunderstandings are everywhere.
Have you said something and then gone, that’s not what I meant! It happens all too often. People are especially sensitive right now. They may feel like lashing out rather than taking an opportunity to breathe and think through how they wish to react.
It can be especially tricky for those of us on the other end. How do you want to respond? Do you want to be a better person?
That doesn’t mean that you have to allow people to walk all over you. It does mean that you need to make sure to breathe and think through your responses. Respond to others from your highest place. Don’t sink to their level. Respond true to who you are.
The world is divisive right now, but you don’t need to follow down that path. Speak from a place that is for the highest and best good for you. It can be challenging to not immediately respond, but sometimes it’s best for all to think about your response.
Misunderstandings are bound to happen, but you can try to limit them as much as possible. When things don’t go as planned, change course or apologize.
You can always try again. You have an opportunity to think about what’s happening in your life. You can do it differently. Just because it’s always been that way doesn’t mean it can’t be different going forward.
Misunderstandings will happen, but how do you respond? That’s where the lesson is.
