Welcome back, Witches! This week, we're diving into part one of our two-part series on planetary retrogrades, starting with Mars and Mercury. We'll explore the fiery, action-driven energy of Mars Retrograde and the notorious communication shake-ups of Mercury Retrograde—what they mean, how they impact us, and ways to navigate their influence. Whether you're looking to work with these cosmic shifts or simply survive them, we've got insights, tips, and a little planetary magic to share. So brew a cup of tea, get cozy, and join us for a stellar discussion! ☄️✨
