In fall Mercury went into retrograde over Virgo, my sign. At the same time, there was the solar eclipse. Shortly after, my friends and family turned against me like I've never before witnessed. Thankfully the issue went away once the retrograde was over, but it really damaged my relationships. I still can't trust my previous best friend and barely ever talk to him.

Then, just recently there was another retrograde, this time over Sagittarius, which is my moms sign. I went to visit for the holidays and it was a disaster. Communication was unbelievably poor. I was receiving a ton of negative energy from her specifically. When I started mirroring it back to her, everyone lost their minds. I arrived there with a very positive attitude and I left with a terrible one.

Anyone else have a difficult holiday? How do you deal with people polluting your field with negativity? I bought some crystals yesterday that are good for retrograde and repelling bad vibes. I can't wait to get them.
