Mercury Retrograde Mastery

Mercury Retrogrades are famous for glitches, miscommunication, traffic mishaps.

They can also be powerful times for reflecting, reworking, and renewing. Retrogrades are times when you move against the grain.

If you feel personally victimized by Mercury Retrograde, you aren't alone. When you learn astrology, these times of year can suddenly become the moments when you have your best ideas, understand your life more deeply, and write the best emails of your life.

They happen three or four times a year, and they last about three weeks: a fascinating time when the trickster planet of ideas and messages seems to move backwards along the ecliptic. Each year, Mercury retrogrades take place in a specific element. In 2026, they are happening in water signs.

From February 26 - March 20, Mercury is Retrograde in Pisces.
From June 29 - July 23, Mercury is Retrograde in Cancer.
From October 24 - November 13, Mercury is Retrograde in Scorpio.

In this workshop, you will master mercury retrogrades by learning:
- The mythology and meaning of Mercury in astrology
- Interpreting the Mercury placement in your birth chart
- The astronomy of why planets look like they are moving backwards
- How to use Mercury Retrograde to your magical advantage

Come prepared with a notebook, pen, and your birth information (date, time, location) so we can put your chart up on the big screen as an example.

HOUSEKEEPING

1. Where Faeries Live has moved! Our new address is 7933-104 Street. We’ve had issues with map/direction apps taking people to the old location, even if the address is listed correctly. We’ve found if you type in our new address instead of “Where Faeries Live” in the search box, you’ll get the correct directions. But if you wind up at the old location anyway, the good news is: we aren’t far away! If you find yourself at the old store, we are about half a block east and half a block north, next to Crave Cupcakes.
2. Tickets to this event are ONLY available through EventBrite. Anyone offering tickets via any other medium is trying to scam you.
3. Tickets are available on EventBrite through 11:59pm MST on March 6th, 2026. Refunds are available through EventBrite up to seven days before the event. EventBrite fees are non-refundable.
