Okay, so today I decided to dive into this “mercury square saturn” thing. I’d heard some buzz about it, mostly people saying it can make you feel kinda… stuck. So, I wanted to see what the fuss was all about.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my trusty notebook and pen. Gotta have those. Then, I looked up the exact time of the transit. You can use any number of free,you know, resources . I found it was happening in the afternoon for me, so I blocked off that time.
The Thick of It
As the time approached, I found a quiet spot, put my phone on “Do Not Disturb,” and just… waited. I tried to be mindful of my thoughts and feelings. Did I feel any different than usual? Initially, not really. But then, I started working on a project I’d been putting off – writing a somewhat complicated email.
- That’s when I felt it. It was like my brain was wading through mud.
- Every word felt like a struggle.
- I kept second-guessing myself, rewriting sentences, and getting frustrated.
- I even started to feel a bit down on myself, like, “Why is this so hard?!” Classic Mercury-Saturn vibes, I guess.
Making it Useful
Knowing this might happen, I tried to be patient with myself. Here’s I did what:
- I broke the email down into tiny, tiny steps. Instead of trying to write the whole thing at once, I just focused on one sentence at a time.
- I took breaks. Every 20 minutes or so, I’d get up, stretch, get a drink of water, and just clear my head.
- I reminded myself that this feeling wouldn’t last forever. Transits are temporary, after all.
I didn’t finish the email during the transit. Nope. But, I made some progress. And more importantly, I learned something about how this particular energy affects me. I also realized that sometimes, the best thing you can do is just acknowledge the frustration and keep going, even if it’s slow going.
The feeling is too hard to deal with? That’s okay. I allowed myself to be lazy on other unimportant things. I’m a human after all.
Wrapping Up
Once the transit time passed, I felt a bit lighter. Like a weight had been lifted. I’m not saying it was a magical transformation, but there was a noticeable shift. So, would I recommend experiencing a Mercury-Saturn square on purpose? Maybe. It’s not exactly fun, but it can be a good way to practice patience and self-compassion. Plus, you might get a clearer sense of how these planetary energies play out in your own life. And that’s always valuable, right?
