As you may have noticed, Mercury is retrograde right now in Virgo, a sign it rules. This means that this particular retrograde period is likely to be more problematic than others. Have no fear—we have you covered!

To help counteract the potential negative influences brought on by this retrograde, make this special incense blend. Combine and powder equal parts of copal, rosemary, and lavender. Burn a little over charcoal each morning during the retrograde (August 23 to September 15) to soothe any disturbances or mercurial upsets.
