It seems like all the witches on Facebook are so excited. Mercury went direct and they have all this new energy and they are ready to take on the world. I’m over here dragging my butt, feeling so tired, and frankly quite disappointed. Where is my renewed energy? Surely I’m not the only one who has had this reaction to Mercury going direct. But why?!

You took the words from my mouth - I’m feeling the same! It was a chore to get out of bed this morning. No amount of caffeine seems to be doing the trick to get me motivated 
Mercury retrograde is infamous for blocking communication and causing things to go haywire. For those who work with or are sensitive to the changes in the planets (especially planets that are key players in someone’s natal chart), it makes sense that they could feel the shift.
That being said, we live in a complex, interconnected world - at any given time, there are always multiple things influencing us. Mercury may have gone upright, but other planets are still doing their own funky things. A full moon (which is notorious for affecting different witches in witches ways) is growing in the sky. A full moon in Libra can affect Libra sun signs one way, but be a completely different experience for Libra’s opposite - Aries sun signs. There are also influences beyond astrology - anything from seasonal to local shifts in nature, to personal events happening in your life.
Because there are countless revolving influences that may affect us at any time, I think it’s natural for people to feel (or not feel) cosmic events like Mercury retrograde/upright differently from one another.
At the end of the day, I think it’s great to listen to others, but without the need to compare. For the self, it’s important to take a step back and look holistically at our own key influences and things currently happening in our lives - this is the best way to assess an influence.
Just my thoughts on the table! Whatever is causing us to feel funky and tired, I hope it moves along quickly haha.
Blessed be!

I’m one of those weirdos that I never notice when Mercury goes backwards, so I’m tired as heck this morning. So there may be something to your theory!

I never notice Mercury’s energy when it’s direct, bur retrograde… almost kills me! The last eclipse + MR drained me of all my energy, I could barely get out of bed, let alone touch a candle or cards.
I would recommend taking some crystals with you, like Fluorite to focus in your goals, Labradorite for balancing after all the chaos of de movement of Mercury, Clear quartz for enhance the effects and Blue quartz for the communication.
That’s my personal mineral cocktail for Mercury, I hope it helps you
Lucky you!

It might effect me and I just don’t notice. I’m not very good with astrology no matter how hard I try and I lose track of which planet is going where. LOL!

I have also been dragging for the past two days… I feel totally depleted. Hopefully we feel better tomorrow. Maybe the full moon and venus going direct on Saturday will pit the bck in our step?

I hope so. I’m ready. I slept for 9 hours last night. I normally sleep between 6 and 8.
