Have you been feeling in the dumps? Been hard to find your crown? Is every little thing irritating you? There's a reason why. As human beings we operate not only by water and food but by energy as well. In the past 2 years there has been a lot of talk about Retrogrades. Some may ask what is a retrograde as others may be well educated. 

We are all influenced by Mercury Retrograde. Three times a year, the planet Mercury appears to travel backward across the sky. To those who practice astrology, these times in particular were traditionally associated with confusion, delay, and frustration, sounds familiar. 

Being in a moment of a retrograde can affect your energy levels. Expect to have more or less energy than you're used to, particularly of the nervous variety. It can sap you of your usual zest and leave you feeling lethargic, or fill you with chaotic, scattered energy that might have you feeling restless, unfocused and anxious. 

The current retrograde we are in will be from September 9-October 1, 2022.

Being that the retrograde can have your anxiety and frustrations high CBD & THC could be the remedy. Being that cannabis is known for its ability to increase serotonin levels, also known as the "Happy hormone", this could be the secret key to getting through the dumps of retrograde.

Being that THC is widely associated with Delta 9, there are other variations. D9 which can increase anxiety may not be the best option retrograde roller coasters. Delta 8 is becoming the go to cannabinoid for people who may suffer with anxiety because of its milder affects.
