After Mercury Retrograde, I Became Someone New 🗞️

🌑 I'm Not the Same Person Who Entered Retrograde

☿ Mercury Retrograde Was Never the Villain

🐍 The Snake Doesn't Fear Shedding Its Skin

The snake is known for its instinctive, intelligent, and cunning nature—qualities that make it one of the animal kingdom's most fascinating survivors.

Yet even the snake cannot continue growing if it refuses to shed its skin.

Nature doesn't negotiate.

When it's time, it's time.

If the snake resisted the shedding process, it would only suffer by remaining trapped in what no longer fits.

Metaphorically, aren't we much the same?

Sometimes the Universe gently... and other times not so gently... nudges us beyond our comfort zones so we can discover possibilities we never imagined for ourselves.

Because the snake never mourns the skin it leaves behind.

It doesn't carry it.

It doesn't wonder whether it made the right decision.

It simply keeps growing until the old version can no longer contain who it is becoming, trusting the promise of everything still waiting ahead.

And speaking of snakes...

World Snake Day falls on the 16th of July—right in the middle of this Mercury Retrograde.

Touché, Universe.
