Anya Esma | Mercury Retrograde & more: How I work WITH transits - not AGAINST them @AnyaEsma | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
OPEN FOR TIMESTAMPS
I just KNOW that retrogrades are going to be THE thing in popculture soon. It started with Mercury Rx making it into mainstream media, but it will go on... Because the media will never miss an opportunity to scare people with spiritual stuff and predictions - and Retrogrades are scary. Or are they...?
Why are people so afraid of Retrogrades? Because they're afraid of things going wrong - of the shadow side of things. Of dealing with buried things. But I also think there is some deeper reason why Mercury Rx in specific bothers people nowadays - I talk all about that in the video.
By the way, this video only speaks about current transits, not about birth charts etc. So if you want to hear me talk about that, here is a video I made about working with astrology for self-development: youtu.be/FU7sxfEdM_w

![Deep Tarot Talk: 5 of Wands Meaning 🔥 Conflict & [Tarot Study]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/b1bCUBYvxqI/hqdefault.jpg "Deep Tarot Talk: 5 of Wands Meaning 🔥 Conflict & [Tarot Study]
Aggressive 7 of Cups energy - thats how I see the 5 of Wands. A card of internal or external conflict that is based on indecisiveness, too many options or too many differing perspectives in one spot.

🔮 Deck in the video available here (Shadowscapes Tarot):
USA: https://amzn.to/3YLDOeA
UK: https://amzn.to/3J5RV8I
Germany: https://amzn.to/3ZBRl9r
So many symbols, metaphors and archetypes in the Shadowscapes Tarot! In this DECK REVIEW I took the time to dissect quite a few of them and I hope it inspires you - even those of you have worked with the deck for many years! :) I only got to play with the Seelenzauber Tarot, as it is called in German, for a few days before giving it to my mother. So if you have any more, deeper insights, please inspire me in the comments below. ♥
This deck by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law gently floats from one image to the next and creates a visual fantasy world, the likes of which I have rarely seen in any other Tarot deck. Soft colors, vibrantly detailed symbols and a whole web of archetypes make this Shadowscapes Tarot deck so appealing to me.
