While chaos is all but guaranteed during this celestial phenomenon, there are some ways to mitigate the damage. One way to do so is by revamping your space for optimal energy flow, #goodvibes, and less stress. Each Zodiac sign is affected by Mercury retrograde differently, so what works for, say, a Leo’s home would probably cause a Capricorn to rip their hair out. (Okay, it’s not particularly difficult for a Cap to reach that point, but you get it). As such, The Spruce has laid out how each Zodiac sign can revamp their space to survive Mercury retrograde and, who knows, maybe even thrive. Maybe.
One way to keep yourself from making rash decisions during this unstable period is by tackling weekend organization projects to keep your home life running as smoothly as possible. Until the end of retrograde on June 22, plan to have your weekends be all about simplification and decluttering. Be sure to keep the process simple, too. Take stock of what spaces of your home aren’t working as well as they could be, and go from there. Whether it’s your kitchen pantry, clothing closets, home office, or garage, pick one Saturday or Sunday and dedicate that day to reorganizing and restyling your chosen area. Consider purchasing some specialty organizers. After all, simple doesn’t mean something can’t be stylish, too! Pick out a fresh new shower curtain, reorganize your medicine cabinet for optimal morning and evening routine flow, and get all the organization cubbies for your toiletries, towels, and whatever else. Nevertheless, Virgo, you’re an Earth sign, grounded and very practical. Getting your home in alignment with these qualities will be vital to getting through this retrograde in one piece. Focus on adding elements to your space that bring you back to Earth. A great way to do this is by investing in a few new houseplants. Not only do houseplants reduce stress and liven up a room, caring for your new greenery will also fuel you with the responsibility and purpose you crave, especially during this tumultuous time. Your best design bet during this particular Mercury retrograde is to focus on the general movement through your home. Add runners to your hallways, clear up any clutter that’s taking up valuable space, rearrange your furniture in a way that adds more space. You don’t have to feel confined within your own home, Cancer, and if you do, now is the time to remedy that issue. Redecorate your dining room, rearrange your living room, add fresh lighting to your backyard patio for the #vibe. Whatever you do, understand that this period will pass, so you might as well find fun where you can!
