Stop Blaming Retrogrades—You Just Made a Bad Decision

Oh no, Mercury’s in retrograde again (not to mention all the rest looking like they have no idea which direction they want to go in the sky)?

That must be why you texted your toxic ex, blew off your boundaries, and told your boss to shove it in an email.

Sure. Let’s blame the planets.

Look, I love astrology. I’ll howl at the moon and cuss out Mars with the best of them. But there’s a dangerous trend in the spiritual world that needs to be put on ice—using astrology as a cosmic scapegoat for our own messy choices.

Mercury didn’t make you impulsive.

Venus didn’t force you to ghost your inner work.

Saturn didn’t cancel your morning ritual—you did.

We’ve become so obsessed with planetary motion that we forget our own power in motion. Retrogrades were never meant to be a universal hall pass for chaos. They’re mirrors, not mandates. Invitations to review, realign, reflect—not repeat the same karmic loop while crying “Mercury made me do it.”

You’re a witch, not a puppet.

This is where spiritual maturity comes in. Real magick isn’t just knowing what’s happening in the cosmos—it’s knowing how to navigate it. How to take radical ownership. How to say: Yes, this is a tough transit. Yes, the energy is weird. And no, that doesn’t excuse me from showing the hell up in my life.

Because guess what? If you keep blaming the cosmos for every misstep, you’ll never claim the kind of power that bends reality in your favor. You’ll stay in a holding pattern, orbiting your potential but never landing in it.

The stars don’t control you.

They inform you.

They nudge, warn, and whisper.

But they don’t decide.

You do.

So the next time you feel that urge to duck accountability behind the nearest astrology meme, pause. Ask yourself:

Is this really cosmic chaos…

Or is it just me avoiding the work?

Retrogrades are teachers—not scapegoats.

And you, my fierce friend, are not a victim of the stars.

You are the fucking cosmos in human form. Start acting like it.

Blame less. Own more. Hex responsibly. And remember, if there is Mercury in your Gatorade, and you drink it haphazardly, that was your choice, not the planets. 🖤
