This ritual is designed to help you maintain clarity and understanding, even when Mercury seems to be playing tricks on us all.
Why this ritual
Mercury Retrograde is infamous for muddling communication, technology, and travel plans. This ritual focuses on enhancing your clarity and patience, helping you to articulate your thoughts more effectively. By aligning your energy with Mercury's lessons, you can transform potential chaos into a period of introspection and growth. Plus, who doesn't want to avoid those awkward misunderstandings?

Steps
- Prepare Your Space: Find a quiet area where you won't be disturbed. Light your blue candle and place the quartz crystal nearby to enhance focus and positivity.
- Set Your Intentions: Take a moment to breathe deeply. As you inhale, visualize clarity filling your mind. As you exhale, release any tension or confusion.
- Use Peppermint: Apply a drop of peppermint essential oil to your temples and wrists. This invigorates the mind and promotes clear thinking.

Aftercare
Post-ritual, keep your quartz crystal with you as a reminder to stay grounded and clear-headed. Continue using peppermint oil during moments of mental fog. Remember, Mercury Retrograde is a time to slow down and reassess, not just a cosmic obstacle course. If you find communication hurdles still persist, consider booking a love reading or a career reading to gain deeper insights into your interactions.
