My chart shows Mercury retrograde, which is causing problems with learning. Besides Mercury squares, what can I do to cope with Mercury retrograde? I'm looking for advice; my goal is to achieve a good average grade.
Mercury retrograde
soldier777771 min to readIf you're unable to perform a square for whatever reason, it's worth knowing that you can still use the planetary mantra provided. Its use is not wholly restricted to being used with a square.
If you're more keen on a Runic working however, there are two runes I can definitely suggest. One is Kenaz, and one is Mannaz. If you're trying to learn a specific craft or skill, I'd recommend Kenaz. If your learning issues often pertain to a difficulty with remembering things, I can definitely recommend Mannaz for such a case.
There is also Ansuz as well, if you felt there were specific obstacles preventing you from learning. Of course, if you're going to start a working for this end, do wait until after the Retrograde, on November 13th-14th.

In addition to the advice offered by NG Arcadia, whom I would also like to thank, I would suggest another way of try to manage the effects of this particular natal Mercury placement: writing things down. Journaling, putting your thoughts on paper, and organizing your ideas can help give them their own space, making it easier to process, structure, and understand them rather than having everything remain tangled up in your mind.
Natal Mercury retrograde should also be approached by considering the aspects it makes to other planets, as these can significantly influence how its energies manifest. For example, if Mercury is in aspect to Venus or Neptune, organizing your thoughts through poetry, songwriting, or other creative forms of expression may be particularly helpful. Finding a form of external expression of what dwells within you, in your mind, that resonates with the rest of the chart can help.
If you experience difficulties with learning, comprehension, filtering and retaining the information you study, or expressing your thoughts in a clear and organized manner, self-hypnosis can also be a useful tool to explore. During a light to moderate trance state, or just before falling asleep, you can repeat positive affirmations to yourself, such as:
"I always express myself in the best possible way, with clarity and precision".
"My intellectual abilities are excellent, and I use them effectively and confidently".
"I understand and learn with ease and effortlessly".
"My thoughts are clear, organized, and easy to communicate".
The key is to aim to reinforce a more constructive mindset and a greater sense of confidence in your own mental abilities.
Ἀρετή καὶ Τιμή
Dove l'essenza dell'esistenza risiede
Il nulla dell'oblio viene superato
E il figlio prode avanza verso la Vittoria.
