Mercury Retrograde is here - but what if it's actually your breakthrough? Your complete guide to Mercury Retrograde

Sat Nam Loves, Myrah here.

The theme of the moment for me lately has been a curiosity around how one can shift the trajectory of our lives. This being a 9 universal year, a year of many transitions, completions, death and rebirth — I know many of us feel like life has been moving fast. And Mercury Retrograde arrives into that. How can we use this time to shift and alter our trajectory to a higher frequency? Let’s dive in.

Mercury Retrograde ritual and intentional living — Myrah Penaloza

Because here’s what I’ve discovered about Mercury Retrograde that most people miss:

Your nervous system is actually more receptive to rewiring during these periods. While everyone else is complaining about technology glitches and communication breakdowns, you can be using this energy to reprogram your subconscious for your next level.

What’s really happening energetically

Mercury Retrograde brings what I call “blast from the past” energy. Old goals, childhood dreams, forgotten aspirations are resurfacing. That text from someone you haven’t spoken to in years. Those random memories popping up at 3am. These aren’t coincidences. They’re puzzle pieces for your bigger purpose.

Your reticular activating system — the filter between your conscious and unconscious mind — is being calibrated. All those “random” connections? They’re showing you the golden thread that’s been weaving through your entire life story.

Phase 1: Reclaiming Your Vision

This phase asks: what dreams did you abandon that are actually meant to be part of your next level?

When old memories surface, don’t dismiss them — journal about them. Ask: “what was I passionate about then that I’ve forgotten now?” Notice what makes your body feel expansive versus contracted when you think about these old dreams. Reach out to people from your past who inspired you. Revisit projects or ideas you shelved.

Phase 2: Deep Transformation

This is where Mercury Retrograde gets really powerful. Scorpio energy — when Mercury moves through it — helps you go deep into your subconscious programming around money, success, and worthiness.

Notice what triggers you about other people’s success. Observe your body’s response when you think about having more. Have those difficult conversations you’ve been avoiding. Clear up misunderstandings that are blocking your energy. Release grudges that are keeping you in scarcity frequency.

The Nervous System Secret

During Mercury Retrograde, your brain is more plastic. The usual neural pathways are disrupted, which means it’s easier to create new ones. This is why you might feel scattered or confused — your old programming is being interrupted.

Instead of fighting this energy, use it. Each morning, place your hand on your heart and ask: “what is my nervous system trying to show me right now?” Then listen without judgment. Each evening, journal: “what old pattern am I ready to release? What new belief about my worthiness wants to emerge?”

The women who use this time for inner work experience the biggest breakthroughs

While everyone else is in resistance, you’re in alignment. While they’re fighting the energy, you’re flowing with it. This Mercury Retrograde is your invitation to shift everything.

The trajectory of your life doesn’t have to continue on the same path. You have the power to redirect it toward higher frequencies of abundance, joy, and purpose. Trust what’s coming up. Trust the process. Trust that your nervous system knows exactly what needs to shift.

All my love and retrograde blessings,
Myrah
