1 00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:00,860 Speaker 1: Hello Hazel. 2 00:00:01,659 --> 00:00:01,669 Speaker 2: Hey, 3 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm 4 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Jermaine and welcome back to another episode of Clash podcast. 5 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: Have you girls heard of this term, Mercury retrograde? 6 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: Yes, I've 7 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,590 Speaker 2: heard of it. 8 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,119 Speaker 1: What is it? Before we even go into that, let 9 00:00:14,119 --> 00:00:16,719 Speaker 1: me share with you a quick story. OK. So just 10 00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:19,950 Speaker 1: because I mentioned about this thing one time to someone, 11 00:00:20,159 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: her name is Katherine Robert actually. 12 00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:25,030 Speaker 1: Just because I mentioned it once, and it just so 13 00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:26,940 Speaker 1: happened that certain things I said was going to happen, 14 00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:29,350 Speaker 1: happened to her. From then on, she kept asking me, 15 00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:31,549 Speaker 1: so when is it going to retrograde again? What is 16 00:00:31,549 --> 00:00:32,790 Speaker 1: going to happen? I said, don't know 17 00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:33,310 Speaker 1: lah. 18 00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:38,869 Speaker 2: Actually, you know, because retrograde is a scientific thing. It 19 00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:44,269 Speaker 2: is when the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in 20 00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:48,310 Speaker 2: its orbit around the sun. So instead of west to east, 21 00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:50,290 Speaker 2: it moves east to west. 22 00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:50,708 Speaker 1: So 23 00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:51,610 Speaker 1: actually, Mercury. 24 00:00:51,825 --> 00:00:54,744 Speaker 1: It is not the only thing that retrogrades because every 25 00:00:54,744 --> 00:00:59,744 Speaker 1: planet has this retrograde thing where it'll move in the 26 00:00:59,744 --> 00:01:01,494 Speaker 1: other direction than it was supposed to. 27 00:01:02,064 --> 00:01:09,355 Speaker 2: But Mercury astrologically is associated with a few things communication, travel, technology, 28 00:01:09,504 --> 00:01:12,745 Speaker 2: and decision making. So basically what it's saying is that 29 00:01:12,745 --> 00:01:16,504 Speaker 2: during retrograde, those four things will go haywire or 30 00:01:16,504 --> 00:01:17,824 Speaker 1: you should be more cautious of these 31 00:01:17,824 --> 00:01:19,665 Speaker 1: things in your life. I have learned so much in 32 00:01:19,665 --> 00:01:20,464 Speaker 1: the past 2 minutes. 33 00:01:21,370 --> 00:01:24,629 Speaker 2: But Mercury retrograde, well, it happens a few times a year. 34 00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:27,430 Speaker 2: I think last year it was like 4 times. The 35 00:01:27,430 --> 00:01:29,220 Speaker 2: year before that it was 3 times. So it's either 36 00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:30,940 Speaker 2: 3 or 4 times a year. 37 00:01:31,309 --> 00:01:34,629 Speaker 1: So whenever it happens, everybody on earth will be sort 38 00:01:34,629 --> 00:01:35,069 Speaker 1: of like 39 00:01:35,069 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 2: affected. Everybody on earth is a big is a big blanket. 40 00:01:38,889 --> 00:01:42,639 Speaker 2: Term, I would say that you make your own fortune. Yes, 41 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,589 Speaker 2: but if you do believe in astrology, maybe you can 42 00:01:47,589 --> 00:01:49,239 Speaker 2: do certain things to 43 00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: counter the effects. 44 00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: It's like during Hungry Ghost festival, you burn offerings. If 45 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,540 Speaker 2: you don't burn it, do you think you will get haunted? 46 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,459 Speaker 1: Uh, maybe not, but yeah, 47 00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 2: but some people believe that they're sorry. So it's like 48 00:02:02,279 --> 00:02:04,930 Speaker 2: during Mercury retrograde, OK, let's better be safe than sorry. 49 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,290 Speaker 2: Let's not run things. 50 00:02:07,779 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: Let's be 51 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,339 Speaker 1: a little bit more thoughtful before we say something just 52 00:02:11,339 --> 00:02:13,729 Speaker 1: in case we fight for no reason. OK, so how 53 00:02:13,729 --> 00:02:16,449 Speaker 1: do I know when this Mercury retrograde is going to be? 54 00:02:16,538 --> 00:02:21,289 Speaker 2: So the next one is actually March 14th to April 7. 55 00:02:21,419 --> 00:02:24,100 Speaker 1: That's about a month away from now because it's Valentine's season. 56 00:02:24,505 --> 00:02:25,695 Speaker 1: Happy Valentine's Day, by the way. 57 00:02:27,455 --> 00:02:29,234 Speaker 2: Luckily it's not retrograde right now. 58 00:02:29,854 --> 00:02:30,764 Speaker 1: You guys are safe. 59 00:02:31,383 --> 00:02:33,854 Speaker 1: I mean, if your love life is really shit and 60 00:02:33,854 --> 00:02:35,934 Speaker 1: then it happens to be retrograde, don't just blame it 61 00:02:35,934 --> 00:02:36,175 Speaker 1: on the 62 00:02:36,175 --> 00:02:36,535 Speaker 1: mercury, 63 00:02:36,565 --> 00:02:39,494 Speaker 2: right? That's my problem with it. I don't know if 64 00:02:39,494 --> 00:02:42,764 Speaker 2: I believe in it. In the past I've been like, oh, 65 00:02:42,895 --> 00:02:45,375 Speaker 2: this time period has been really shit for me. Then 66 00:02:45,375 --> 00:02:49,014 Speaker 2: a TikTok video will come up. It's Mercury retrograde right 67 00:02:49,014 --> 00:02:50,845 Speaker 2: now and I'm like, ah, that's why. 68 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,850 Speaker 2: But I don't really think that you should be blaming 69 00:02:53,850 --> 00:02:57,050 Speaker 2: it on the retrograde. Like my, my life has been 70 00:02:57,050 --> 00:02:58,100 Speaker 2: shit other times too like, 71 00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:01,990 Speaker 1: give me some examples of things that will happen when 72 00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:03,169 Speaker 1: it's mercury retrograde 73 00:03:03,169 --> 00:03:08,050 Speaker 2: period, miscommunication with who can be anyone, right? Your boss. 74 00:03:08,130 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: Your partner, your friend, argument, right? Or maybe your phone 75 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,309 Speaker 2: breaks down. 76 00:03:13,788 --> 00:03:14,038 Speaker 1: Sometimes 77 00:03:14,038 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: I hear like people saying, oh, that's a time where 78 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,410 Speaker 1: you know, if you haven't received or if your karmic 79 00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: loop has not been closed, that's the time where 80 00:03:25,339 --> 00:03:27,929 Speaker 1: Exit from the past will suddenly reappear. 81 00:03:29,179 --> 00:03:32,418 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard that happening. So this happened to PD 82 00:03:32,419 --> 00:03:36,339 Speaker 2: Marie actually. Listen to this story. Oh my goodness. So 83 00:03:36,339 --> 00:03:40,619 Speaker 2: this happened in last year's August retrograde. The first week 84 00:03:40,619 --> 00:03:43,500 Speaker 2: of August was very bizarre for me. It all started 85 00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:46,759 Speaker 2: when my current boyfriend, who wasn't my boyfriend at the time, 86 00:03:46,899 --> 00:03:50,149 Speaker 2: texted me nowhere out of 2 months of no contact. 87 00:03:50,339 --> 00:03:51,339 Speaker 2: Totally unexpected. 88 00:03:51,699 --> 00:03:53,940 Speaker 2: The next day, a guy that I had gone on 89 00:03:53,940 --> 00:03:57,100 Speaker 2: a couple of dates with texted me too to return 90 00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:01,259 Speaker 2: a book that he had borrowed months ago. The very 91 00:04:01,259 --> 00:04:04,809 Speaker 2: next day, a random guy that I matched with on Bumble, 92 00:04:05,770 --> 00:04:08,699 Speaker 2: like the year before that, messaged me on Telegram asking 93 00:04:08,699 --> 00:04:10,660 Speaker 2: me to hang out. I couldn't even remember who he was. 94 00:04:10,740 --> 00:04:13,660 Speaker 2: I was like, huh, this is so random. And then 95 00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:15,899 Speaker 2: that night she went for a late night supper run 96 00:04:15,899 --> 00:04:16,660 Speaker 2: with her cousin. 97 00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:20,859 Speaker 2: On the way back, she saw her ex from 3 98 00:04:20,859 --> 00:04:24,940 Speaker 2: years ago. Awkward. Apparently to her this is kind of 99 00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:27,929 Speaker 2: like a cosmic thing. Like why are so many of 100 00:04:27,928 --> 00:04:29,579 Speaker 2: these guys appearing in her life? So 101 00:04:29,579 --> 00:04:30,010 Speaker 1: it's too 102 00:04:30,010 --> 00:04:33,100 Speaker 1: much of a coincidence to be just a coincidence. It's 103 00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:35,178 Speaker 1: like too much happening at the same time. Like why 104 00:04:35,178 --> 00:04:35,820 Speaker 1: now and why 105 00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:36,250 Speaker 1: all? 106 00:04:37,859 --> 00:04:40,750 Speaker 2: Maybe you just have a lot. I'm not sure. I'm 107 00:04:40,750 --> 00:04:41,730 Speaker 2: not sure, but. 108 00:04:42,619 --> 00:04:45,078 Speaker 1: So how can you prevent this from happening? You can't 109 00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:47,329 Speaker 2: prevent the planet from going backwards. 110 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: OK, just go. But 111 00:04:49,359 --> 00:04:51,079 Speaker 1: how can you be safe then sorry then, you know, 112 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: like Hungry Ghost festival, we can burn offerings, right? What 113 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,329 Speaker 1: can we do during the mercury retrograde season? 114 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,190 Speaker 2: PD says you can burn sage to cleanse your space 115 00:05:00,190 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: or the what do you call it? 116 00:05:02,363 --> 00:05:02,375 Speaker 1: Um, 117 00:05:08,334 --> 00:05:08,674 Speaker 2: oh, the wood, the Palo Palo OK or you can 118 00:05:08,674 --> 00:05:12,385 Speaker 2: burn Palo Santo. I don't know. OK, let me just 119 00:05:12,915 --> 00:05:15,114 Speaker 2: stop at this midway point and just say like it 120 00:05:15,113 --> 00:05:17,274 Speaker 2: really is what you believe in, right? If you don't 121 00:05:17,274 --> 00:05:20,553 Speaker 2: believe in astrology, then don't, don't listen, right? Like for 122 00:05:20,553 --> 00:05:22,394 Speaker 2: my dad, he believes in. 123 00:05:22,940 --> 00:05:27,409 Speaker 2: Like the Chinese calendars, yeah, he's very, very serious about that. 124 00:05:27,540 --> 00:05:30,899 Speaker 2: So he has a book that he gets every year, right? 125 00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:33,859 Speaker 2: It's by like a feng shui master, and it details 126 00:05:33,859 --> 00:05:37,368 Speaker 2: every single day of the year, all 365 days. What 127 00:05:37,369 --> 00:05:39,579 Speaker 2: is this day good for? Is it a good or 128 00:05:39,579 --> 00:05:40,099 Speaker 2: bad day? 129 00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:42,325 Speaker 2: And if it's good, what is it good for? If 130 00:05:42,325 --> 00:05:45,005 Speaker 2: it's bad, what is it bad for? So like for example, right, 131 00:05:45,105 --> 00:05:48,285 Speaker 2: he wants to have a grand opening, right, or an 132 00:05:48,285 --> 00:05:50,914 Speaker 2: open house or something, he will have to choose a 133 00:05:50,915 --> 00:05:53,684 Speaker 2: good day, or not even that. He has to sign, 134 00:05:53,894 --> 00:05:56,325 Speaker 2: sign a document. He's like, if you give him a 135 00:05:56,325 --> 00:05:57,493 Speaker 2: document on a black day. 136 00:05:57,928 --> 00:06:00,570 Speaker 2: Like his, his assistants know never to do that. He 137 00:06:00,570 --> 00:06:02,969 Speaker 2: will not sign it. He would just be like, today 138 00:06:02,970 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: is black. I'm going to sign it tomorrow instead. 139 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,500 Speaker 1: He's, yeah, 140 00:06:06,809 --> 00:06:09,308 Speaker 1: but it's clearly working out for Jermaine's dad, you can tell. 141 00:06:09,529 --> 00:06:09,769 Speaker 1: So it's 142 00:06:09,769 --> 00:06:13,010 Speaker 2: what you believe, right? But then because he believes that, 143 00:06:13,209 --> 00:06:15,730 Speaker 2: so I believe it too. So then I always check 144 00:06:15,730 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 2: the book. 145 00:06:16,850 --> 00:06:19,609 Speaker 1: But the book is specifically for him lah. No, 146 00:06:19,709 --> 00:06:23,209 Speaker 2: the book is for everyone. It's like this Chinese calendar year. 147 00:06:23,410 --> 00:06:25,019 Speaker 2: It's like retrograde is for everyone. 148 00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:31,049 Speaker 1: So it's not tailored to your zodiac sign, 149 00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:32,969 Speaker 2: the Chinese calendar. 150 00:06:33,339 --> 00:06:34,859 Speaker 1: So when it says that you are going to have 151 00:06:34,859 --> 00:06:35,929 Speaker 1: a bad day today, 152 00:06:36,220 --> 00:06:37,859 Speaker 2: is that true? No, it's not that you're going to 153 00:06:37,859 --> 00:06:40,410 Speaker 2: have a bad day. It's that it will be a 154 00:06:40,410 --> 00:06:43,299 Speaker 2: bad day for you to do certain things like spend 155 00:06:43,299 --> 00:06:45,299 Speaker 2: a lot of money. Sometimes it even says like cut 156 00:06:45,299 --> 00:06:46,850 Speaker 2: your hair, bad day to cut. 157 00:06:47,690 --> 00:06:48,779 Speaker 1: It was a bad day to cut your hair, didn't 158 00:06:48,779 --> 00:06:49,219 Speaker 1: go and cut your hair. 159 00:06:49,339 --> 00:06:50,140 Speaker 2: I don't want to test 160 00:06:50,140 --> 00:06:52,140 Speaker 1: fate, man. That is like really 161 00:06:52,140 --> 00:06:53,190 Speaker 2: ballsy to do that. But you're 162 00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: the master of your own fate. Yeah. 163 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,399 Speaker 1: Well, I've got to say this is the first time 164 00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:01,630 Speaker 1: in my entire life I'm hearing of the term mercury retrograde, 165 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:02,988 Speaker 1: but I kind of like it, 166 00:07:04,678 --> 00:07:05,349 Speaker 1: honestly. 167 00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: So I think that while we're here talking about like 168 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: Mercury retrograde, you know, planets going backwards and stuff, it's 169 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: it's very important to also acknowledge. 170 00:07:12,149 --> 00:07:15,859 Speaker 2: That in a lot of different cultures, they look towards 171 00:07:15,859 --> 00:07:20,420 Speaker 2: astrology as a very big, you know, signifier of like 172 00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:22,739 Speaker 2: fates and you know how your day is going to 173 00:07:22,739 --> 00:07:25,220 Speaker 2: go and you know, kind of like things like that 174 00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:28,369 Speaker 2: fortune and things like that because it's almost like 175 00:07:28,970 --> 00:07:33,140 Speaker 2: When the planets shift, there is a magnetic shift on Earth. 176 00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:33,869 Speaker 1: I 177 00:07:33,869 --> 00:07:37,279 Speaker 1: think honestly there's a lot of science behind it. I 178 00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 1: can understand why people don't believe in it or say 179 00:07:39,679 --> 00:07:42,450 Speaker 1: things like, oh, you know, astrology is like it's like 180 00:07:42,450 --> 00:07:44,809 Speaker 1: we wee things, right? But I think there's a lot 181 00:07:44,809 --> 00:07:49,250 Speaker 1: of science behind it and I usually like when people 182 00:07:49,250 --> 00:07:50,130 Speaker 1: ask me why I believe. 183 00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: I usually say like, oh, but you know like what 184 00:07:54,480 --> 00:08:00,630 Speaker 1: controls the tides and are we not like 70% water? 185 00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:03,220 Speaker 1: Very true and I know I might 186 00:08:03,220 --> 00:08:03,809 Speaker 1: be talking cock no, 187 00:08:04,559 --> 00:08:06,010 Speaker 2: no, I believe that. 188 00:08:06,359 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know people in the past, they really studied 189 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,399 Speaker 1: the sky, like thoroughly studied them to understand. 190 00:08:11,899 --> 00:08:14,299 Speaker 1: I don't know the energies behind it and the kind 191 00:08:14,299 --> 00:08:17,980 Speaker 1: of connections it has with people living on Earth. So, well, 192 00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:20,339 Speaker 1: I think to a certain extent there's a lot of 193 00:08:20,339 --> 00:08:22,660 Speaker 1: credibility in this as well. OK, so what else can 194 00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:26,100 Speaker 1: you tell me about Mercury retrograde? So basically, right, whenever 195 00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:30,420 Speaker 1: a planet goes into retrograde, because every planet represents something 196 00:08:30,420 --> 00:08:31,899 Speaker 1: like for example, Mercury is like. 197 00:08:32,815 --> 00:08:37,575 Speaker 1: that kind of technology. So every planet represents something, but 198 00:08:37,575 --> 00:08:39,096 Speaker 1: at the same time you got to cross check it 199 00:08:39,096 --> 00:08:43,015 Speaker 1: with your birth chart and see what house that planet 200 00:08:43,015 --> 00:08:46,656 Speaker 1: coincides with and then you can see how it directly 201 00:08:46,655 --> 00:08:48,216 Speaker 1: affects you in which area. Who 202 00:08:48,216 --> 00:08:49,005 Speaker 1: got time? 203 00:08:49,856 --> 00:08:52,366 Speaker 2: My recommendation is if you don't know. 204 00:08:52,421 --> 00:08:57,731 Speaker 2: About Mercury retrograde, don't learn about it because I, I 205 00:08:57,731 --> 00:09:01,432 Speaker 2: almost feel like it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like, OK, you see, right, 206 00:09:01,492 --> 00:09:04,401 Speaker 2: this person is like, oh, you know, during last retrograde, 207 00:09:04,572 --> 00:09:07,692 Speaker 2: my car battery died. I was shortchanged $1 at the 208 00:09:07,692 --> 00:09:10,651 Speaker 2: cash register and then I got in a massive argument 209 00:09:10,651 --> 00:09:12,651 Speaker 2: with my spouse. Fuck retrograde. 210 00:09:12,989 --> 00:09:16,429 Speaker 2: Um, maybe, you know, your car battery was just overdue 211 00:09:16,429 --> 00:09:19,299 Speaker 2: for a change. A dollar, let it go lah, OK, 212 00:09:19,429 --> 00:09:22,460 Speaker 2: and massive argument, maybe you need therapy and or better 213 00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:24,710 Speaker 2: communication skills. I don't think it's just a retrograde. No, 214 00:09:24,809 --> 00:09:27,419 Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. Like people just put it on retrograde. 215 00:09:27,869 --> 00:09:28,549 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like a. 216 00:09:28,659 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 2: Self-fulfilling prophecy like you think things are going to go bad, 217 00:09:31,849 --> 00:09:32,479 Speaker 2: so they do. 218 00:09:32,849 --> 00:09:36,530 Speaker 1: honestly my past master has told me never to wear 219 00:09:36,530 --> 00:09:39,919 Speaker 1: the colors black, white, or wear jewelry that's gold or 220 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: silver because these colors are not good for me. Then 221 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,250 Speaker 1: what jewelry can you wear pearls? Oh. 222 00:09:46,549 --> 00:09:49,108 Speaker 1: You know, those that are not gold or silver basically, 223 00:09:50,210 --> 00:09:52,690 Speaker 1: but I end up going in black or white outfits 224 00:09:52,690 --> 00:09:55,590 Speaker 1: anyway because it's so tough to avoid those colors, you 225 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:57,809 Speaker 1: know what I mean? And then sometimes when something bad happens, 226 00:09:57,890 --> 00:09:59,539 Speaker 1: I think to myself, hm, is it because I never 227 00:09:59,539 --> 00:10:00,409 Speaker 1: heed her advice. Actually 228 00:10:00,409 --> 00:10:00,569 Speaker 2: you 229 00:10:00,570 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: look really good in white. Hey, thank 230 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:01,979 Speaker 1: you. 231 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,369 Speaker 2: I don't know what she's saying because you look stunning 232 00:10:04,369 --> 00:10:04,809 Speaker 2: in white. 233 00:10:04,969 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: Is that the color clash 234 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,799 Speaker 1: with your past or something, you know, but then one 235 00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:12,119 Speaker 1: year down the road, I realized actually I'm living my 236 00:10:12,119 --> 00:10:15,598 Speaker 1: life just as fine while wearing these colors. So it 237 00:10:15,599 --> 00:10:16,950 Speaker 1: really is what you think it is. 238 00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: Someone here actually says she has a bit of a 239 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,359 Speaker 2: different perspective on Mercury retrograde. She says that 240 00:10:23,570 --> 00:10:26,359 Speaker 2: It's not as bad as it seems. It just means 241 00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: that you need to have a bit more patience with communication. 242 00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:32,989 Speaker 2: She actually met her partner during Mercury retrograde. They got 243 00:10:32,989 --> 00:10:36,239 Speaker 2: engaged and married during a retrograde. The first kid was 244 00:10:36,239 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: born during retrograde, second kid on the day that Mercury went. 245 00:10:40,289 --> 00:10:42,979 Speaker 2: Dictionary direct, I don't know what that means. They're still 246 00:10:42,979 --> 00:10:46,539 Speaker 2: happily married and you know, it doesn't mean like it's 247 00:10:46,539 --> 00:10:48,539 Speaker 2: going to be bad or everything then will be bad. 248 00:10:48,619 --> 00:10:50,270 Speaker 2: You just need to have more patience. It's not a 249 00:10:50,270 --> 00:10:52,099 Speaker 2: sign that oh it would be bad. Actually I met 250 00:10:52,099 --> 00:10:55,150 Speaker 2: Andrew during a Mercury retrograde, and 251 00:10:55,150 --> 00:10:58,659 Speaker 1: what challenges do you face, if any? No, when I 252 00:10:58,659 --> 00:11:01,849 Speaker 1: met him, yeah, doesn't mean that if you met, if 253 00:11:01,849 --> 00:11:03,729 Speaker 1: you meet your partner during a retrograde. 254 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,228 Speaker 1: The meetup is not going to be as smooth. 255 00:11:06,359 --> 00:11:09,030 Speaker 2: No, I think my, my point is that, you know, 256 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,478 Speaker 2: retrograde doesn't mean only bad things happen. Like a good 257 00:11:12,479 --> 00:11:13,969 Speaker 2: thing came out of that 258 00:11:13,969 --> 00:11:16,869 Speaker 1: doesn't mean like, oh, breakup season, only breakups will happen. 259 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: So would you say? 260 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,039 Speaker 1: A mercury retrograde brings more challenges to your love life, 261 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,169 Speaker 1: or is it like a chance for reflection and growth? 262 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,229 Speaker 1: I think sometimes it's just a fun thing, you know, 263 00:11:30,359 --> 00:11:32,919 Speaker 1: like I don't think it's fun. No, I said it's 264 00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: just fun to like, oh yeah, Mercury, you know, like 265 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,919 Speaker 1: when something happens then you're just like, oh yeah, Mercury 266 00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:40,830 Speaker 1: got something to blame it on, but as long as 267 00:11:40,830 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 1: you don't actually believe it or you don't 268 00:11:42,599 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 1: actually mean it, you know what I mean? 269 00:11:43,929 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 2: At the end of the day, OK, whether or not 270 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,260 Speaker 2: you believe in astrology or you don't believe in astrology. 271 00:11:48,929 --> 00:11:52,950 Speaker 2: It's always good to have a bit more patience with communication, 272 00:11:53,090 --> 00:11:56,030 Speaker 2: with life, and we always say here, everything happens for 273 00:11:56,030 --> 00:11:56,598 Speaker 2: a reason, 274 00:11:57,549 --> 00:11:57,709 Speaker 1: for 275 00:11:57,710 --> 00:11:59,989 Speaker 1: sure. But what are some things we can take away 276 00:11:59,989 --> 00:12:03,349 Speaker 1: from this Mercury retrograde thing? It's not necessarily just a 277 00:12:03,349 --> 00:12:03,630 Speaker 1: bad thing, 278 00:12:03,710 --> 00:12:05,950 Speaker 2: right, girls? Yeah, it's not like, oh, let me just 279 00:12:05,950 --> 00:12:07,710 Speaker 2: stay at home and then hope that it blows over, 280 00:12:07,830 --> 00:12:10,030 Speaker 2: not see anyone, not talk to anyone for like two weeks. 281 00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:13,469 Speaker 2: You can't can't live like that. So maybe take this 282 00:12:13,469 --> 00:12:14,549 Speaker 2: chance since it 283 00:12:14,599 --> 00:12:19,070 Speaker 2: Impacts different areas like communication, travel, technology. Are there things 284 00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:22,109 Speaker 2: you can do in those areas that retrograde could be 285 00:12:22,109 --> 00:12:22,469 Speaker 2: helpful 286 00:12:22,469 --> 00:12:22,739 Speaker 2: for? 287 00:12:22,869 --> 00:12:24,270 Speaker 1: Right? I think one thing I picked up from this 288 00:12:24,270 --> 00:12:27,869 Speaker 1: whole thing is to learn to be more patient. Actually, 289 00:12:27,950 --> 00:12:31,419 Speaker 1: this doesn't just apply during the Mercury retrograde period every day, 290 00:12:31,510 --> 00:12:33,429 Speaker 1: but I mean during that period, it gives itself a 291 00:12:33,429 --> 00:12:38,709 Speaker 1: stronger reason to hone on your communication skills, don't blow up, 292 00:12:39,070 --> 00:12:40,229 Speaker 1: work on the patient. 293 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,380 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't snap so quickly as well. 294 00:12:42,630 --> 00:12:44,929 Speaker 2: So during the retrograde also it brings up a lot 295 00:12:44,929 --> 00:12:47,429 Speaker 2: of the past just now Pey Marie's story, right, all 296 00:12:47,429 --> 00:12:50,030 Speaker 2: the guys from her life, it's like ghost of boyfriend's 297 00:12:50,030 --> 00:12:53,460 Speaker 2: past kind of thing. So once it's being dredged up, 298 00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:57,289 Speaker 2: maybe don't just ignore it. You can approach it, kind 299 00:12:57,289 --> 00:13:01,429 Speaker 2: of like reflect on it and process it with caution 300 00:13:01,429 --> 00:13:03,510 Speaker 2: since it's already being dug up from the grave 301 00:13:03,510 --> 00:13:06,190 Speaker 1: or maybe use this chance to really set. 302 00:13:06,510 --> 00:13:10,159 Speaker 1: An end to it. Like your intentions must be clear, right? 303 00:13:10,270 --> 00:13:12,429 Speaker 1: Like if this person is reaching out, he must want 304 00:13:12,429 --> 00:13:15,419 Speaker 1: something from you, then maybe this is your chance to 305 00:13:15,669 --> 00:13:19,780 Speaker 1: tell him how you really feel or block him. Yes, correct, correct. 306 00:13:19,869 --> 00:13:22,659 Speaker 1: I think all these like boyfriends popping up, for example, 307 00:13:22,909 --> 00:13:24,510 Speaker 1: maybe it's time for you to sit down and just 308 00:13:24,510 --> 00:13:28,789 Speaker 1: think like, why are they coming up? What is the reason? 309 00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,919 Speaker 1: And is it going to serve any purpose in my life? 310 00:13:32,390 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: And then you decide from there like what you're going 311 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,419 Speaker 1: to do with it, 312 00:13:34,460 --> 00:13:35,099 Speaker 2: right? OK, 313 00:13:35,179 --> 00:13:35,468 Speaker 1: so 314 00:13:35,739 --> 00:13:39,429 Speaker 1: what can we avoid during a Mercury retrograde? 315 00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:43,690 Speaker 2: Um, I think hooking up with your ex would be 316 00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:46,309 Speaker 2: the top number one thing to avoid during a retrograde 317 00:13:46,309 --> 00:13:47,659 Speaker 2: because it just sets you back. 318 00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:50,830 Speaker 2: Into old patterns because you're under him, you ain't getting 319 00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 2: over him exactly as said. So maybe you know avoid 320 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,469 Speaker 2: rekindling fires until like after the retrograde and see if 321 00:13:58,469 --> 00:13:59,830 Speaker 2: you feel the same way with or 322 00:13:59,830 --> 00:14:01,869 Speaker 1: without the retrograde, you probably shouldn't be doing 323 00:14:01,869 --> 00:14:02,179 Speaker 1: that. 324 00:14:02,349 --> 00:14:03,099 Speaker 2: That's true. 325 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,209 Speaker 2: That is very true. Um, avoid making impulsive decisions. Avoid 326 00:14:09,210 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: like overreacting to things that may have just been a 327 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,359 Speaker 2: simple miscommunication or misunderstanding. But all these like are good 328 00:14:17,359 --> 00:14:19,150 Speaker 2: pieces of advice for any time. Yeah, 329 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:19,799 Speaker 1: but I kind of 330 00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:23,260 Speaker 1: like that last one because when March 14 rolls around, 331 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,140 Speaker 1: I can sort of like 332 00:14:24,616 --> 00:14:26,695 Speaker 1: remind myself to be more patient. I will send a 333 00:14:26,695 --> 00:14:30,096 Speaker 1: text today is Mercury retrograde all the way to what 334 00:14:30,096 --> 00:14:31,976 Speaker 1: April 7th it's good timing. 335 00:14:33,935 --> 00:14:35,616 Speaker 2: Let us know how your retrograde. 336 00:14:36,176 --> 00:14:39,255 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're pushing this episode one month in advance, so 337 00:14:39,255 --> 00:14:41,075 Speaker 1: it gives you enough time to prep for the retrograde, 338 00:14:43,986 --> 00:14:44,495 Speaker 1: you know, but at the end. 339 00:14:44,642 --> 00:14:47,111 Speaker 1: the day, right? Things like this, whatever you believe in, 340 00:14:47,192 --> 00:14:49,952 Speaker 1: whether it's, you know, a religion, whether it's a universe, 341 00:14:50,281 --> 00:14:53,552 Speaker 1: it's still in your own hands and I think sometimes 342 00:14:53,552 --> 00:14:57,351 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, people like to leave it up 343 00:14:57,351 --> 00:15:02,111 Speaker 1: to something else for the lack of accountability. Yeah, so 344 00:15:02,111 --> 00:15:04,351 Speaker 1: believe whatever you want to, but at the end of 345 00:15:04,351 --> 00:15:07,312 Speaker 1: the day, you're still sort of like the master of 346 00:15:07,312 --> 00:15:10,581 Speaker 1: your own fate, I agree. I read out this one 347 00:15:10,581 --> 00:15:14,562 Speaker 1: last story from this user called Hey hey JG. 348 00:15:14,979 --> 00:15:17,419 Speaker 1: She says, I honestly try to not to allow my 349 00:15:17,419 --> 00:15:21,460 Speaker 1: fears over bad astrological weather to rule my life. Karma 350 00:15:21,460 --> 00:15:23,299 Speaker 1: is a tricky thing. I don't think you can get 351 00:15:23,299 --> 00:15:26,219 Speaker 1: away from it by timing your decisions correctly to avoid 352 00:15:26,219 --> 00:15:30,059 Speaker 1: bad times. Likewise, you may miss a beautiful opportunity if 353 00:15:30,059 --> 00:15:33,619 Speaker 1: you stop yourself. It's too tricky to know. So, best 354 00:15:33,619 --> 00:15:35,659 Speaker 1: bet is to be true to yourself. I'm sure there 355 00:15:35,659 --> 00:15:38,940 Speaker 1: are many examples of happy, healthy, successful relationship. 356 00:15:39,659 --> 00:15:43,020 Speaker 1: during Mercury retro.
