First off, let me start out by saying that I firmly believe that “we,” as a general population, don’t need to be doing anything to accommodate this. I think that most of us are just fine. (Isn’t that great?!) But then again, I’m not describing this as a “pandemic.” (And it’s all right that that term was used.) I’m just not seeing what our friend was seeing.
What I am seeing (and this is NOT a criticism) are some people who (through the distorted lens of this forum) seem to be bombarding their systems with lots and lots of fields whilst not yet being able to effectively work with their energy systems’ guidance. Often, these are the forum members whose lives are most stressful to them and who often have illnesses on top of those stresses. They often respond to their (real) stresses by throwing more fields at them, increasing their total stress level and further taxing their energy systems. All of these (including the physical and astrological atmosphere) just build and build and build until something as universal as a Mercury Retrograde and/or Full Moon (or a cookie eaten this morning or one play of one field) becomes the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
And one report often gives others “permission” (not that any permission is needed) to report their experience, especially if their experience was negative. So, I don’t really see any pandemic. That’s my perspective and it’s no more “right” or “wrong” than our friend’s perspective.
“So, why then, WB, did you mention Mercury Retrograde and the Full Moon?,” you might ask.
Well, in part to sort of defang the pandemic idea above, because I don’t find that an empowering idea to promote. And in part to not victim-blame (because, fromtheir recent posting history, the OP ticks a lot of the boxes I just described–and that, too, is NOT a criticism). And in part to offer that those events, which might be a factor, are temporary. They are, right now, I’m the process of passing.
Now to answer your good question:
If a forum friend is so sensitive that they might be taxed by a combination of astrological events, then the really good news is they’re all predictable! We know when each and every one of them is going to happen and we know this centuries in advance–and with more accuracy than any meteorologist today. Wow!
So, we can plan accordingly. Advance preparation is so helpful. There’s a reason why they do the safety drills before the plane takes off.
We can dial back or better prioritize our stacks, listening to only our most essential fields.
And, leading up to such times, we can shore up our energetic and spiritual practices to make sure our energetic “batteries” are fully charged. And make sure that we’re taking care of our physical bodies, giving them the best exercise, nutrition and rest we can.
We could even learn from past experiences. (Another good things about these astrological events is that they’re repetitive, which means we can learn from them.) We might learn more effective or healthier stress management techniques and we can use them in addition to fields to reduce the overall stress load we’re feeling during these times.
Notice most of suggestions don’t involve fields. I know you know this but a lot of forum friends don’t really understand that, with fields, less is more. I know it sounds counterintuitive but throwing more fields onto a taxed energy system–even fields intended to help that energy system–is often an unhelpful approach. When our energy system is burdened (as our OP wisely acknowledges) the best approach is usually to take a break from using fields.
Can we play Nullify, Amplify or Navagraha? If your energy system isn’t taxed (or fried), sure. The actual Navagraha ritual is done per long period of time, so a single play per Mercury Retrograde if you can do it before the “shadow” period, the better–but now or in the middle of the actual Retrograde is just fine, too.
Amplify and Nullify can be played daily, if your energy systems aren’t taxed. And I’ve read one forum friend who alternates between Navagraha and Nullify/Amplify (my preferred order) every other day but I know they have a remarkably robust energy system.
Hope that helps!
