Writer’s block? Mercury retrograde strikes again [Astrology]

When Mercury turns retrograde, time softens. Thoughts slow. A hush settles in. Ideas circle, spiral, not leap. What flowed clearly now feels broken. Echoes bounce off old stone walls. But this isn’t failure—it’s pause. A reset, not an erasure.

In Vedic thought, Budha holds speech. It is memory, logic, connection. When retrograde, we must listen deeply. Not to words, but silences. The mind shifts to quieter frequencies. Expression narrows, depth begins to rise.

Writer’s block becomes a threshold, not block. What lies beyond is not empty. It holds weight, shape, meaning, memory. Old notebooks return. Fragments seek closure. Thoughts left undone now resurface gently. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s second vision. Mercury offers chances to reframe past.

Yes, there’s doubt. And confusion too. But both serve purpose. Every delay matters. Each detour reveals forgotten corners within. The skipped becomes suddenly vivid, essential. The story changes. Or deepens, completely.

Don’t rush. Sit. Breathe. Stay still. Watch resistance. Hear what hides underneath. Remedies guide, not cure. Use gently. Sandalwood, mantras, rest—they ground softly.

When fog lifts, clarity follows again. Mercury walks forward. So do you. The voice returns, changed by depth. Quieter maybe, but more true. This is revision, not retreat. A rediscovery. Meaning lies beneath waiting still.
