Hey Babe,
How are you doing?
That iffy, huh? Gurl… you’re not alone. With almost all the planets (Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and Pluto) in retrograde, things are bound to be messy.
But there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel and some measures you can take to help keep yourself from going mad thinking about your woes, feelings, and everything else in between.
Enter: lighting a good eucalyptus-infused candle, watching as the rain drops and breathing in and out when it’s done (sounds like witchcraft, but it works), and perusing this weekly recap sesh (yeah, something about reading about other people’s drama and learning that you’re not the only one going through it helps calm anxieties and distracts your mind from going crazy).
So, grab your coziest blanket and favorite cup of coffee, and let’s dive into the week that was!
