Even if you’re not that familiar with astrology, chances are you’ve heard about Mercury Retrograde. Well, the problem is, Mercury is not the only planet, so it’s not the only one going retrograde either.
In fact, May 2020 is turning four of them retrograde – Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. Oh my.
No idea what that means? In this episode, Aman and I chat about exactly that, what areas of life you may expect delays and how to deal with it all.
The Takeaways:
- Expect delays when it comes to official structures and relationships.
- Watch out how you express your ambitions.
- Expect delays – but don’t be worried. Use your time wisely to focus on your inner activity – let ideas flow, do your research or just take a break.
- And for the love of Universe, don’t attempt to give yourself bangs while in quarantine.

Self-Love: How to Actually Accept Your Flaws? – This Babe Is Not Retrograde
Self-love is so much more than 'self-care' that involves candles and bathtubs. It seems counterintuitive, but appreciating 'the bad' about yourself can get you closer to appreciating 'the good' and feeling self-compassion. In this episode, Aman and Olga discuss some ways to getting there, along with some (quarantine-reality) tips on how to 'spice up' the everyday.
