WEBVTT -  Valentine's Love Lessons: Will Mercury Retrograde make or break my relationship?

0:00:00.009 --> 0:00:00.860
<v Speaker 1>Hello Hazel.

0:00:01.659 --> 0:00:01.669
<v Speaker 2>Hey,

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Jermaine and welcome back to another episode of Clash podcast.

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Have you girls heard of this term, Mercury retrograde?

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I've

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:11.590
<v Speaker 2>heard of it.

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.119
<v Speaker 1>What is it? Before we even go into that, let

0:00:14.119 --> 0:00:16.719
<v Speaker 1>me share with you a quick story. OK. So just

0:00:16.719 --> 0:00:19.950
<v Speaker 1>because I mentioned about this thing one time to someone,

0:00:20.159 --> 0:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>her name is Katherine Robert actually.

0:00:22.940 --> 0:00:25.030
<v Speaker 1>Just because I mentioned it once, and it just so

0:00:25.030 --> 0:00:26.940
<v Speaker 1>happened that certain things I said was going to happen,

0:00:26.950 --> 0:00:29.350
<v Speaker 1>happened to her. From then on, she kept asking me,

0:00:29.430 --> 0:00:31.549
<v Speaker 1>so when is it going to retrograde again? What is

0:00:31.549 --> 0:00:32.790
<v Speaker 1>going to happen? I said, don't know

0:00:32.790 --> 0:00:33.310
<v Speaker 1>lah.

0:00:33.830 --> 0:00:38.869
<v Speaker 2>Actually, you know, because retrograde is a scientific thing. It

0:00:38.869 --> 0:00:44.269
<v Speaker 2>is when the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in

0:00:44.270 --> 0:00:48.310
<v Speaker 2>its orbit around the sun. So instead of west to east,

0:00:48.590 --> 0:00:50.290
<v Speaker 2>it moves east to west.

0:00:50.470 --> 0:00:50.708
<v Speaker 1>So

0:00:50.709 --> 0:00:51.610
<v Speaker 1>actually, Mercury.

0:00:51.825 --> 0:00:54.744
<v Speaker 1>It is not the only thing that retrogrades because every

0:00:54.744 --> 0:00:59.744
<v Speaker 1>planet has this retrograde thing where it'll move in the

0:00:59.744 --> 0:01:01.494
<v Speaker 1>other direction than it was supposed to.

0:01:02.064 --> 0:01:09.355
<v Speaker 2>But Mercury astrologically is associated with a few things communication, travel, technology,

0:01:09.504 --> 0:01:12.745
<v Speaker 2>and decision making. So basically what it's saying is that

0:01:12.745 --> 0:01:16.504
<v Speaker 2>during retrograde, those four things will go haywire or

0:01:16.504 --> 0:01:17.824
<v Speaker 1>you should be more cautious of these

0:01:17.824 --> 0:01:19.665
<v Speaker 1>things in your life. I have learned so much in

0:01:19.665 --> 0:01:20.464
<v Speaker 1>the past 2 minutes.

0:01:21.370 --> 0:01:24.629
<v Speaker 2>But Mercury retrograde, well, it happens a few times a year.

0:01:24.709 --> 0:01:27.430
<v Speaker 2>I think last year it was like 4 times. The

0:01:27.430 --> 0:01:29.220
<v Speaker 2>year before that it was 3 times. So it's either

0:01:29.220 --> 0:01:30.940
<v Speaker 2>3 or 4 times a year.

0:01:31.309 --> 0:01:34.629
<v Speaker 1>So whenever it happens, everybody on earth will be sort

0:01:34.629 --> 0:01:35.069
<v Speaker 1>of like

0:01:35.069 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 2>affected. Everybody on earth is a big is a big blanket.

0:01:38.889 --> 0:01:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Term, I would say that you make your own fortune. Yes,

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.589
<v Speaker 2>but if you do believe in astrology, maybe you can

0:01:47.589 --> 0:01:49.239
<v Speaker 2>do certain things to

0:01:49.239 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>counter the effects.

0:01:50.519 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>It's like during Hungry Ghost festival, you burn offerings. If

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.540
<v Speaker 2>you don't burn it, do you think you will get haunted?

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.459
<v Speaker 1>Uh, maybe not, but yeah,

0:01:59.540 --> 0:02:02.279
<v Speaker 2>but some people believe that they're sorry. So it's like

0:02:02.279 --> 0:02:04.930
<v Speaker 2>during Mercury retrograde, OK, let's better be safe than sorry.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.290
<v Speaker 2>Let's not run things.

0:02:07.779 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's be

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.339
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more thoughtful before we say something just

0:02:11.339 --> 0:02:13.729
<v Speaker 1>in case we fight for no reason. OK, so how

0:02:13.729 --> 0:02:16.449
<v Speaker 1>do I know when this Mercury retrograde is going to be?

0:02:16.538 --> 0:02:21.289
<v Speaker 2>So the next one is actually March 14th to April 7.

0:02:21.419 --> 0:02:24.100
<v Speaker 1>That's about a month away from now because it's Valentine's season.

0:02:24.505 --> 0:02:25.695
<v Speaker 1>Happy Valentine's Day, by the way.

0:02:27.455 --> 0:02:29.234
<v Speaker 2>Luckily it's not retrograde right now.

0:02:29.854 --> 0:02:30.764
<v Speaker 1>You guys are safe.

0:02:31.383 --> 0:02:33.854
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if your love life is really shit and

0:02:33.854 --> 0:02:35.934
<v Speaker 1>then it happens to be retrograde, don't just blame it

0:02:35.934 --> 0:02:36.175
<v Speaker 1>on the

0:02:36.175 --> 0:02:36.535
<v Speaker 1>mercury,

0:02:36.565 --> 0:02:39.494
<v Speaker 2>right? That's my problem with it. I don't know if

0:02:39.494 --> 0:02:42.764
<v Speaker 2>I believe in it. In the past I've been like, oh,

0:02:42.895 --> 0:02:45.375
<v Speaker 2>this time period has been really shit for me. Then

0:02:45.375 --> 0:02:49.014
<v Speaker 2>a TikTok video will come up. It's Mercury retrograde right

0:02:49.014 --> 0:02:50.845
<v Speaker 2>now and I'm like, ah, that's why.

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.850
<v Speaker 2>But I don't really think that you should be blaming

0:02:53.850 --> 0:02:57.050
<v Speaker 2>it on the retrograde. Like my, my life has been

0:02:57.050 --> 0:02:58.100
<v Speaker 2>shit other times too like,

0:02:59.410 --> 0:03:01.990
<v Speaker 1>give me some examples of things that will happen when

0:03:01.990 --> 0:03:03.169
<v Speaker 1>it's mercury retrograde

0:03:03.169 --> 0:03:08.050
<v Speaker 2>period, miscommunication with who can be anyone, right? Your boss.

0:03:08.130 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Your partner, your friend, argument, right? Or maybe your phone

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:13.309
<v Speaker 2>breaks down.

0:03:13.788 --> 0:03:14.038
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes

0:03:14.038 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 1>I hear like people saying, oh, that's a time where

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.410
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you haven't received or if your karmic

0:03:21.410 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>loop has not been closed, that's the time where

0:03:25.339 --> 0:03:27.929
<v Speaker 1>Exit from the past will suddenly reappear.

0:03:29.179 --> 0:03:32.418
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've heard that happening. So this happened to PD

0:03:32.419 --> 0:03:36.339
<v Speaker 2>Marie actually. Listen to this story. Oh my goodness. So

0:03:36.339 --> 0:03:40.619
<v Speaker 2>this happened in last year's August retrograde. The first week

0:03:40.619 --> 0:03:43.500
<v Speaker 2>of August was very bizarre for me. It all started

0:03:43.500 --> 0:03:46.759
<v Speaker 2>when my current boyfriend, who wasn't my boyfriend at the time,

0:03:46.899 --> 0:03:50.149
<v Speaker 2>texted me nowhere out of 2 months of no contact.

0:03:50.339 --> 0:03:51.339
<v Speaker 2>Totally unexpected.

0:03:51.699 --> 0:03:53.940
<v Speaker 2>The next day, a guy that I had gone on

0:03:53.940 --> 0:03:57.100
<v Speaker 2>a couple of dates with texted me too to return

0:03:57.100 --> 0:04:01.259
<v Speaker 2>a book that he had borrowed months ago. The very

0:04:01.259 --> 0:04:04.809
<v Speaker 2>next day, a random guy that I matched with on Bumble,

0:04:05.770 --> 0:04:08.699
<v Speaker 2>like the year before that, messaged me on Telegram asking

0:04:08.699 --> 0:04:10.660
<v Speaker 2>me to hang out. I couldn't even remember who he was.

0:04:10.740 --> 0:04:13.660
<v Speaker 2>I was like, huh, this is so random. And then

0:04:13.660 --> 0:04:15.899
<v Speaker 2>that night she went for a late night supper run

0:04:15.899 --> 0:04:16.660
<v Speaker 2>with her cousin.

0:04:17.220 --> 0:04:20.859
<v Speaker 2>On the way back, she saw her ex from 3

0:04:20.859 --> 0:04:24.940
<v Speaker 2>years ago. Awkward. Apparently to her this is kind of

0:04:24.940 --> 0:04:27.929
<v Speaker 2>like a cosmic thing. Like why are so many of

0:04:27.928 --> 0:04:29.579
<v Speaker 2>these guys appearing in her life? So

0:04:29.579 --> 0:04:30.010
<v Speaker 1>it's too

0:04:30.010 --> 0:04:33.100
<v Speaker 1>much of a coincidence to be just a coincidence. It's

0:04:33.100 --> 0:04:35.178
<v Speaker 1>like too much happening at the same time. Like why

0:04:35.178 --> 0:04:35.820
<v Speaker 1>now and why

0:04:35.820 --> 0:04:36.250
<v Speaker 1>all?

0:04:37.859 --> 0:04:40.750
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you just have a lot. I'm not sure. I'm

0:04:40.750 --> 0:04:41.730
<v Speaker 2>not sure, but.

0:04:42.619 --> 0:04:45.078
<v Speaker 1>So how can you prevent this from happening? You can't

0:04:45.079 --> 0:04:47.329
<v Speaker 2>prevent the planet from going backwards.

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.359
<v Speaker 1>OK, just go. But

0:04:49.359 --> 0:04:51.079
<v Speaker 1>how can you be safe then sorry then, you know,

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 1>like Hungry Ghost festival, we can burn offerings, right? What

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.329
<v Speaker 1>can we do during the mercury retrograde season?

0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.190
<v Speaker 2>PD says you can burn sage to cleanse your space

0:05:00.190 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>or the what do you call it?

0:05:02.363 --> 0:05:02.375
<v Speaker 1>Um,

0:05:08.334 --> 0:05:08.674
<v Speaker 2>oh, the wood, the Palo Palo OK or you can

0:05:08.674 --> 0:05:12.385
<v Speaker 2>burn Palo Santo. I don't know. OK, let me just

0:05:12.915 --> 0:05:15.114
<v Speaker 2>stop at this midway point and just say like it

0:05:15.113 --> 0:05:17.274
<v Speaker 2>really is what you believe in, right? If you don't

0:05:17.274 --> 0:05:20.553
<v Speaker 2>believe in astrology, then don't, don't listen, right? Like for

0:05:20.553 --> 0:05:22.394
<v Speaker 2>my dad, he believes in.

0:05:22.940 --> 0:05:27.409
<v Speaker 2>Like the Chinese calendars, yeah, he's very, very serious about that.

0:05:27.540 --> 0:05:30.899
<v Speaker 2>So he has a book that he gets every year, right?

0:05:30.980 --> 0:05:33.859
<v Speaker 2>It's by like a feng shui master, and it details

0:05:33.859 --> 0:05:37.368
<v Speaker 2>every single day of the year, all 365 days. What

0:05:37.369 --> 0:05:39.579
<v Speaker 2>is this day good for? Is it a good or

0:05:39.579 --> 0:05:40.099
<v Speaker 2>bad day?

0:05:40.214 --> 0:05:42.325
<v Speaker 2>And if it's good, what is it good for? If

0:05:42.325 --> 0:05:45.005
<v Speaker 2>it's bad, what is it bad for? So like for example, right,

0:05:45.105 --> 0:05:48.285
<v Speaker 2>he wants to have a grand opening, right, or an

0:05:48.285 --> 0:05:50.914
<v Speaker 2>open house or something, he will have to choose a

0:05:50.915 --> 0:05:53.684
<v Speaker 2>good day, or not even that. He has to sign,

0:05:53.894 --> 0:05:56.325
<v Speaker 2>sign a document. He's like, if you give him a

0:05:56.325 --> 0:05:57.493
<v Speaker 2>document on a black day.

0:05:57.928 --> 0:06:00.570
<v Speaker 2>Like his, his assistants know never to do that. He

0:06:00.570 --> 0:06:02.969
<v Speaker 2>will not sign it. He would just be like, today

0:06:02.970 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 2>is black. I'm going to sign it tomorrow instead.

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.500
<v Speaker 1>He's, yeah,

0:06:06.809 --> 0:06:09.308
<v Speaker 1>but it's clearly working out for Jermaine's dad, you can tell.

0:06:09.529 --> 0:06:09.769
<v Speaker 1>So it's

0:06:09.769 --> 0:06:13.010
<v Speaker 2>what you believe, right? But then because he believes that,

0:06:13.209 --> 0:06:15.730
<v Speaker 2>so I believe it too. So then I always check

0:06:15.730 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 2>the book.

0:06:16.850 --> 0:06:19.609
<v Speaker 1>But the book is specifically for him lah. No,

0:06:19.709 --> 0:06:23.209
<v Speaker 2>the book is for everyone. It's like this Chinese calendar year.

0:06:23.410 --> 0:06:25.019
<v Speaker 2>It's like retrograde is for everyone.

0:06:27.500 --> 0:06:31.049
<v Speaker 1>So it's not tailored to your zodiac sign,

0:06:31.420 --> 0:06:32.969
<v Speaker 2>the Chinese calendar.

0:06:33.339 --> 0:06:34.859
<v Speaker 1>So when it says that you are going to have

0:06:34.859 --> 0:06:35.929
<v Speaker 1>a bad day today,

0:06:36.220 --> 0:06:37.859
<v Speaker 2>is that true? No, it's not that you're going to

0:06:37.859 --> 0:06:40.410
<v Speaker 2>have a bad day. It's that it will be a

0:06:40.410 --> 0:06:43.299
<v Speaker 2>bad day for you to do certain things like spend

0:06:43.299 --> 0:06:45.299
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money. Sometimes it even says like cut

0:06:45.299 --> 0:06:46.850
<v Speaker 2>your hair, bad day to cut.

0:06:47.690 --> 0:06:48.779
<v Speaker 1>It was a bad day to cut your hair, didn't

0:06:48.779 --> 0:06:49.219
<v Speaker 1>go and cut your hair.

0:06:49.339 --> 0:06:50.140
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to test

0:06:50.140 --> 0:06:52.140
<v Speaker 1>fate, man. That is like really

0:06:52.140 --> 0:06:53.190
<v Speaker 2>ballsy to do that. But you're

0:06:53.190 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>the master of your own fate. Yeah.

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've got to say this is the first time

0:06:58.399 --> 0:07:01.630
<v Speaker 1>in my entire life I'm hearing of the term mercury retrograde,

0:07:01.959 --> 0:07:02.988
<v Speaker 1>but I kind of like it,

0:07:04.678 --> 0:07:05.349
<v Speaker 1>honestly.

0:07:05.519 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 2>So I think that while we're here talking about like

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Mercury retrograde, you know, planets going backwards and stuff, it's

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>it's very important to also acknowledge.

0:07:12.149 --> 0:07:15.859
<v Speaker 2>That in a lot of different cultures, they look towards

0:07:15.859 --> 0:07:20.420
<v Speaker 2>astrology as a very big, you know, signifier of like

0:07:20.420 --> 0:07:22.739
<v Speaker 2>fates and you know how your day is going to

0:07:22.739 --> 0:07:25.220
<v Speaker 2>go and you know, kind of like things like that

0:07:25.220 --> 0:07:28.369
<v Speaker 2>fortune and things like that because it's almost like

0:07:28.970 --> 0:07:33.140
<v Speaker 2>When the planets shift, there is a magnetic shift on Earth.

0:07:33.690 --> 0:07:33.869
<v Speaker 1>I

0:07:33.869 --> 0:07:37.279
<v Speaker 1>think honestly there's a lot of science behind it. I

0:07:37.279 --> 0:07:39.679
<v Speaker 1>can understand why people don't believe in it or say

0:07:39.679 --> 0:07:42.450
<v Speaker 1>things like, oh, you know, astrology is like it's like

0:07:42.450 --> 0:07:44.809
<v Speaker 1>we wee things, right? But I think there's a lot

0:07:44.809 --> 0:07:49.250
<v Speaker 1>of science behind it and I usually like when people

0:07:49.250 --> 0:07:50.130
<v Speaker 1>ask me why I believe.

0:07:50.959 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I usually say like, oh, but you know like what

0:07:54.480 --> 0:08:00.630
<v Speaker 1>controls the tides and are we not like 70% water?

0:08:00.839 --> 0:08:03.220
<v Speaker 1>Very true and I know I might

0:08:03.220 --> 0:08:03.809
<v Speaker 1>be talking cock no,

0:08:04.559 --> 0:08:06.010
<v Speaker 2>no, I believe that.

0:08:06.359 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know people in the past, they really studied

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.399
<v Speaker 1>the sky, like thoroughly studied them to understand.

0:08:11.899 --> 0:08:14.299
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the energies behind it and the kind

0:08:14.299 --> 0:08:17.980
<v Speaker 1>of connections it has with people living on Earth. So, well,

0:08:18.070 --> 0:08:20.339
<v Speaker 1>I think to a certain extent there's a lot of

0:08:20.339 --> 0:08:22.660
<v Speaker 1>credibility in this as well. OK, so what else can

0:08:22.660 --> 0:08:26.100
<v Speaker 1>you tell me about Mercury retrograde? So basically, right, whenever

0:08:26.100 --> 0:08:30.420
<v Speaker 1>a planet goes into retrograde, because every planet represents something

0:08:30.420 --> 0:08:31.899
<v Speaker 1>like for example, Mercury is like.

0:08:32.815 --> 0:08:37.575
<v Speaker 1>that kind of technology. So every planet represents something, but

0:08:37.575 --> 0:08:39.096
<v Speaker 1>at the same time you got to cross check it

0:08:39.096 --> 0:08:43.015
<v Speaker 1>with your birth chart and see what house that planet

0:08:43.015 --> 0:08:46.656
<v Speaker 1>coincides with and then you can see how it directly

0:08:46.655 --> 0:08:48.216
<v Speaker 1>affects you in which area. Who

0:08:48.216 --> 0:08:49.005
<v Speaker 1>got time?

0:08:49.856 --> 0:08:52.366
<v Speaker 2>My recommendation is if you don't know.

0:08:52.421 --> 0:08:57.731
<v Speaker 2>About Mercury retrograde, don't learn about it because I, I

0:08:57.731 --> 0:09:01.432
<v Speaker 2>almost feel like it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like, OK, you see, right,

0:09:01.492 --> 0:09:04.401
<v Speaker 2>this person is like, oh, you know, during last retrograde,

0:09:04.572 --> 0:09:07.692
<v Speaker 2>my car battery died. I was shortchanged $1 at the

0:09:07.692 --> 0:09:10.651
<v Speaker 2>cash register and then I got in a massive argument

0:09:10.651 --> 0:09:12.651
<v Speaker 2>with my spouse. Fuck retrograde.

0:09:12.989 --> 0:09:16.429
<v Speaker 2>Um, maybe, you know, your car battery was just overdue

0:09:16.429 --> 0:09:19.299
<v Speaker 2>for a change. A dollar, let it go lah, OK,

0:09:19.429 --> 0:09:22.460
<v Speaker 2>and massive argument, maybe you need therapy and or better

0:09:22.460 --> 0:09:24.710
<v Speaker 2>communication skills. I don't think it's just a retrograde. No,

0:09:24.809 --> 0:09:27.419
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'm saying. Like people just put it on retrograde.

0:09:27.869 --> 0:09:28.549
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it's like a.

0:09:28.659 --> 0:09:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Self-fulfilling prophecy like you think things are going to go bad,

0:09:31.849 --> 0:09:32.479
<v Speaker 2>so they do.

0:09:32.849 --> 0:09:36.530
<v Speaker 1>honestly my past master has told me never to wear

0:09:36.530 --> 0:09:39.919
<v Speaker 1>the colors black, white, or wear jewelry that's gold or

0:09:39.919 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 1>silver because these colors are not good for me. Then

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.250
<v Speaker 1>what jewelry can you wear pearls? Oh.

0:09:46.549 --> 0:09:49.108
<v Speaker 1>You know, those that are not gold or silver basically,

0:09:50.210 --> 0:09:52.690
<v Speaker 1>but I end up going in black or white outfits

0:09:52.690 --> 0:09:55.590
<v Speaker 1>anyway because it's so tough to avoid those colors, you

0:09:55.590 --> 0:09:57.809
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? And then sometimes when something bad happens,

0:09:57.890 --> 0:09:59.539
<v Speaker 1>I think to myself, hm, is it because I never

0:09:59.539 --> 0:10:00.409
<v Speaker 1>heed her advice. Actually

0:10:00.409 --> 0:10:00.569
<v Speaker 2>you

0:10:00.570 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 2>look really good in white. Hey, thank

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:01.979
<v Speaker 1>you.

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.369
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what she's saying because you look stunning

0:10:04.369 --> 0:10:04.809
<v Speaker 2>in white.

0:10:04.969 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that the color clash

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.799
<v Speaker 1>with your past or something, you know, but then one

0:10:09.799 --> 0:10:12.119
<v Speaker 1>year down the road, I realized actually I'm living my

0:10:12.119 --> 0:10:15.598
<v Speaker 1>life just as fine while wearing these colors. So it

0:10:15.599 --> 0:10:16.950
<v Speaker 1>really is what you think it is.

0:10:17.159 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Someone here actually says she has a bit of a

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.359
<v Speaker 2>different perspective on Mercury retrograde. She says that

0:10:23.570 --> 0:10:26.359
<v Speaker 2>It's not as bad as it seems. It just means

0:10:26.359 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 2>that you need to have a bit more patience with communication.

0:10:29.750 --> 0:10:32.989
<v Speaker 2>She actually met her partner during Mercury retrograde. They got

0:10:32.989 --> 0:10:36.239
<v Speaker 2>engaged and married during a retrograde. The first kid was

0:10:36.239 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 2>born during retrograde, second kid on the day that Mercury went.

0:10:40.289 --> 0:10:42.979
<v Speaker 2>Dictionary direct, I don't know what that means. They're still

0:10:42.979 --> 0:10:46.539
<v Speaker 2>happily married and you know, it doesn't mean like it's

0:10:46.539 --> 0:10:48.539
<v Speaker 2>going to be bad or everything then will be bad.

0:10:48.619 --> 0:10:50.270
<v Speaker 2>You just need to have more patience. It's not a

0:10:50.270 --> 0:10:52.099
<v Speaker 2>sign that oh it would be bad. Actually I met

0:10:52.099 --> 0:10:55.150
<v Speaker 2>Andrew during a Mercury retrograde, and

0:10:55.150 --> 0:10:58.659
<v Speaker 1>what challenges do you face, if any? No, when I

0:10:58.659 --> 0:11:01.849
<v Speaker 1>met him, yeah, doesn't mean that if you met, if

0:11:01.849 --> 0:11:03.729
<v Speaker 1>you meet your partner during a retrograde.

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.228
<v Speaker 1>The meetup is not going to be as smooth.

0:11:06.359 --> 0:11:09.030
<v Speaker 2>No, I think my, my point is that, you know,

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.478
<v Speaker 2>retrograde doesn't mean only bad things happen. Like a good

0:11:12.479 --> 0:11:13.969
<v Speaker 2>thing came out of that

0:11:13.969 --> 0:11:16.869
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean like, oh, breakup season, only breakups will happen.

0:11:18.159 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>So would you say?

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.039
<v Speaker 1>A mercury retrograde brings more challenges to your love life,

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.169
<v Speaker 1>or is it like a chance for reflection and growth?

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.229
<v Speaker 1>I think sometimes it's just a fun thing, you know,

0:11:30.359 --> 0:11:32.919
<v Speaker 1>like I don't think it's fun. No, I said it's

0:11:32.919 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>just fun to like, oh yeah, Mercury, you know, like

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.919
<v Speaker 1>when something happens then you're just like, oh yeah, Mercury

0:11:38.919 --> 0:11:40.830
<v Speaker 1>got something to blame it on, but as long as

0:11:40.830 --> 0:11:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you don't actually believe it or you don't

0:11:42.599 --> 0:11:43.719
<v Speaker 1>actually mean it, you know what I mean?

0:11:43.929 --> 0:11:45.679
<v Speaker 2>At the end of the day, OK, whether or not

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.260
<v Speaker 2>you believe in astrology or you don't believe in astrology.

0:11:48.929 --> 0:11:52.950
<v Speaker 2>It's always good to have a bit more patience with communication,

0:11:53.090 --> 0:11:56.030
<v Speaker 2>with life, and we always say here, everything happens for

0:11:56.030 --> 0:11:56.598
<v Speaker 2>a reason,

0:11:57.549 --> 0:11:57.709
<v Speaker 1>for

0:11:57.710 --> 0:11:59.989
<v Speaker 1>sure. But what are some things we can take away

0:11:59.989 --> 0:12:03.349
<v Speaker 1>from this Mercury retrograde thing? It's not necessarily just a

0:12:03.349 --> 0:12:03.630
<v Speaker 1>bad thing,

0:12:03.710 --> 0:12:05.950
<v Speaker 2>right, girls? Yeah, it's not like, oh, let me just

0:12:05.950 --> 0:12:07.710
<v Speaker 2>stay at home and then hope that it blows over,

0:12:07.830 --> 0:12:10.030
<v Speaker 2>not see anyone, not talk to anyone for like two weeks.

0:12:10.150 --> 0:12:13.469
<v Speaker 2>You can't can't live like that. So maybe take this

0:12:13.469 --> 0:12:14.549
<v Speaker 2>chance since it

0:12:14.599 --> 0:12:19.070
<v Speaker 2>Impacts different areas like communication, travel, technology. Are there things

0:12:19.070 --> 0:12:22.109
<v Speaker 2>you can do in those areas that retrograde could be

0:12:22.109 --> 0:12:22.469
<v Speaker 2>helpful

0:12:22.469 --> 0:12:22.739
<v Speaker 2>for?

0:12:22.869 --> 0:12:24.270
<v Speaker 1>Right? I think one thing I picked up from this

0:12:24.270 --> 0:12:27.869
<v Speaker 1>whole thing is to learn to be more patient. Actually,

0:12:27.950 --> 0:12:31.419
<v Speaker 1>this doesn't just apply during the Mercury retrograde period every day,

0:12:31.510 --> 0:12:33.429
<v Speaker 1>but I mean during that period, it gives itself a

0:12:33.429 --> 0:12:38.709
<v Speaker 1>stronger reason to hone on your communication skills, don't blow up,

0:12:39.070 --> 0:12:40.229
<v Speaker 1>work on the patient.

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.380
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, don't snap so quickly as well.

0:12:42.630 --> 0:12:44.929
<v Speaker 2>So during the retrograde also it brings up a lot

0:12:44.929 --> 0:12:47.429
<v Speaker 2>of the past just now Pey Marie's story, right, all

0:12:47.429 --> 0:12:50.030
<v Speaker 2>the guys from her life, it's like ghost of boyfriend's

0:12:50.030 --> 0:12:53.460
<v Speaker 2>past kind of thing. So once it's being dredged up,

0:12:53.750 --> 0:12:57.289
<v Speaker 2>maybe don't just ignore it. You can approach it, kind

0:12:57.289 --> 0:13:01.429
<v Speaker 2>of like reflect on it and process it with caution

0:13:01.429 --> 0:13:03.510
<v Speaker 2>since it's already being dug up from the grave

0:13:03.510 --> 0:13:06.190
<v Speaker 1>or maybe use this chance to really set.

0:13:06.510 --> 0:13:10.159
<v Speaker 1>An end to it. Like your intentions must be clear, right?

0:13:10.270 --> 0:13:12.429
<v Speaker 1>Like if this person is reaching out, he must want

0:13:12.429 --> 0:13:15.419
<v Speaker 1>something from you, then maybe this is your chance to

0:13:15.669 --> 0:13:19.780
<v Speaker 1>tell him how you really feel or block him. Yes, correct, correct.

0:13:19.869 --> 0:13:22.659
<v Speaker 1>I think all these like boyfriends popping up, for example,

0:13:22.909 --> 0:13:24.510
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's time for you to sit down and just

0:13:24.510 --> 0:13:28.789
<v Speaker 1>think like, why are they coming up? What is the reason?

0:13:28.799 --> 0:13:31.919
<v Speaker 1>And is it going to serve any purpose in my life?

0:13:32.390 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 1>And then you decide from there like what you're going

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:34.419
<v Speaker 1>to do with it,

0:13:34.460 --> 0:13:35.099
<v Speaker 2>right? OK,

0:13:35.179 --> 0:13:35.468
<v Speaker 1>so

0:13:35.739 --> 0:13:39.429
<v Speaker 1>what can we avoid during a Mercury retrograde?

0:13:39.580 --> 0:13:43.690
<v Speaker 2>Um, I think hooking up with your ex would be

0:13:43.690 --> 0:13:46.309
<v Speaker 2>the top number one thing to avoid during a retrograde

0:13:46.309 --> 0:13:47.659
<v Speaker 2>because it just sets you back.

0:13:47.799 --> 0:13:50.830
<v Speaker 2>Into old patterns because you're under him, you ain't getting

0:13:50.830 --> 0:13:54.840
<v Speaker 2>over him exactly as said. So maybe you know avoid

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.469
<v Speaker 2>rekindling fires until like after the retrograde and see if

0:13:58.469 --> 0:13:59.830
<v Speaker 2>you feel the same way with or

0:13:59.830 --> 0:14:01.869
<v Speaker 1>without the retrograde, you probably shouldn't be doing

0:14:01.869 --> 0:14:02.179
<v Speaker 1>that.

0:14:02.349 --> 0:14:03.099
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:09.209
<v Speaker 2>That is very true. Um, avoid making impulsive decisions. Avoid

0:14:09.210 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 2>like overreacting to things that may have just been a

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:17.359
<v Speaker 2>simple miscommunication or misunderstanding. But all these like are good

0:14:17.359 --> 0:14:19.150
<v Speaker 2>pieces of advice for any time. Yeah,

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:19.799
<v Speaker 1>but I kind of

0:14:19.799 --> 0:14:23.260
<v Speaker 1>like that last one because when March 14 rolls around,

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:24.140
<v Speaker 1>I can sort of like

0:14:24.616 --> 0:14:26.695
<v Speaker 1>remind myself to be more patient. I will send a

0:14:26.695 --> 0:14:30.096
<v Speaker 1>text today is Mercury retrograde all the way to what

0:14:30.096 --> 0:14:31.976
<v Speaker 1>April 7th it's good timing.

0:14:33.935 --> 0:14:35.616
<v Speaker 2>Let us know how your retrograde.

0:14:36.176 --> 0:14:39.255
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're pushing this episode one month in advance, so

0:14:39.255 --> 0:14:41.075
<v Speaker 1>it gives you enough time to prep for the retrograde,

0:14:43.986 --> 0:14:44.495
<v Speaker 1>you know, but at the end.

0:14:44.642 --> 0:14:47.111
<v Speaker 1>the day, right? Things like this, whatever you believe in,

0:14:47.192 --> 0:14:49.952
<v Speaker 1>whether it's, you know, a religion, whether it's a universe,

0:14:50.281 --> 0:14:53.552
<v Speaker 1>it's still in your own hands and I think sometimes

0:14:53.552 --> 0:14:57.351
<v Speaker 1>to a certain extent, people like to leave it up

0:14:57.351 --> 0:15:02.111
<v Speaker 1>to something else for the lack of accountability. Yeah, so

0:15:02.111 --> 0:15:04.351
<v Speaker 1>believe whatever you want to, but at the end of

0:15:04.351 --> 0:15:07.312
<v Speaker 1>the day, you're still sort of like the master of

0:15:07.312 --> 0:15:10.581
<v Speaker 1>your own fate, I agree. I read out this one

0:15:10.581 --> 0:15:14.562
<v Speaker 1>last story from this user called Hey hey JG.

0:15:14.979 --> 0:15:17.419
<v Speaker 1>She says, I honestly try to not to allow my

0:15:17.419 --> 0:15:21.460
<v Speaker 1>fears over bad astrological weather to rule my life. Karma

0:15:21.460 --> 0:15:23.299
<v Speaker 1>is a tricky thing. I don't think you can get

0:15:23.299 --> 0:15:26.219
<v Speaker 1>away from it by timing your decisions correctly to avoid

0:15:26.219 --> 0:15:30.059
<v Speaker 1>bad times. Likewise, you may miss a beautiful opportunity if

0:15:30.059 --> 0:15:33.619
<v Speaker 1>you stop yourself. It's too tricky to know. So, best

0:15:33.619 --> 0:15:35.659
<v Speaker 1>bet is to be true to yourself. I'm sure there

0:15:35.659 --> 0:15:38.940
<v Speaker 1>are many examples of happy, healthy, successful relationship.

0:15:39.659 --> 0:15:43.020
<v Speaker 1>during Mercury retro. One leading example

0:15:43.020 --> 0:15:43.690
<v Speaker 1>right here,
