Something Nubian

By Reiki RaEss

Listen up, my melanated Empresses—this one’s for you, especially if you’ve ever had an ex pop up just as your life was aligning perfectly! Picture this: you’ve finally cultivated a healthy relationship, one filled with mutual respect, clarity, and pure organic flow. Then, BAM—Mercury retrograde moonwalks through your texts, emails, and DMs, bringing with it a ghost from relationships past. You know, the ex who mysteriously pops up every retrograde to “check in” and “see how you’ve been.” 🙄

Trust me, I’ve been there, sis.

For years, every retrograde brought the same cycle: reconnect, confusion, hurt feelings, and a lesson relearned the hard way. I didn’t understand the cosmic dance clearly—I just knew technology acted crazy and exes resurfaced like clockwork. But intuition kept whispering that this was deeper.

Then, one day, everything shifted. I was in a healthy, loving, respectful relationship, nurturing it with care like my beloved plants, infusing it with positive Reiki energy, crystals, and mindful intentions. I felt the difference, cherished it deeply, and I knew I didn’t want any negative energy sneaking in. So when Mercury brought the ex drama again, something inside my Aries-Sun-fire-roaring self said loud and clear, “Hell-NO!” This wasn’t just blocking someone—it was a Reiki-infused moment of empowerment. It was me reclaiming my space, energy, and power, affirming to the universe that my peace was non-negotiable.

Blocking his number wasn’t petty—it was powerful. It was a cosmic declaration: “My energy is sacred, my relationship is respected, and past negativity has no room here.” It was Reiki healing in action, energetic cord-cutting at its finest, and one of the strongest boundaries I’ve ever set.

Mercury retrograde may test our boundaries, technology, and patience, but it’s also a divine checkpoint. It asks us, “Did you learn? Did you heal?” Each retrograde invites us to reflect, revisit, and redefine our boundaries, giving us a clear view of our growth.

So, Empress, next time Mercury appears to moonwalk backward, don’t fear—gear up! Light your incense, charge those crystals, and strengthen your energetic shield. Trust the Reiki you’ve infused into your journey and know you’re divinely protected. When old energy knocks, you get to say, confidently and compassionately, “Hell-NO, thank you!”

Remember, Mercury retrograde is just the universe’s way of checking our homework. Show it you’ve been studying, growing, and thriving.

Affirmation for Retrograde Season: “I am healed, healing, and a healer. My boundaries are strong, my energy is sacred, and my peace is protected.”

Asé, Empress. 🌟
