Mercury Retrograde, in January- some top tips from a matchmaker:

Happy new year! Dating during mercury retrograde AND in January is quite an undertaking. Read below for some tips on how to best navigate the coming month ahead from a matchmaker:

1.    Set manageable goals. Instead of the large goals we set ourselves, such as buying a house, or finding a husband- set yourself smaller goals. Examples of this would be: waking up earlier, reacting more carefully to friends and family etc. These little life changes will amount to a lot and most importantly, will positively benefit our mindset. Which in turn attracts what is meant for us, to us.

2.    All blogs state the obvious things we know about Mercury Retrograde; that is messes with travel, and we shouldn’t sign contracts or make big commitments during retrograde. However, the key thing to do is.. live life and not fret. Mercury retrograde may not feel great sometimes, but it sets us on the path we are meant to be on. Perhaps your ex was meant to pop back into your life. Or perhaps that huge miscommunication led to a fall out, which brought you to focusing more on other things you were meant to. Trust the process and make the best out of every situation.

3.    Know that January can be a tricky month, for everything, including dating – we are all in the same boat. Yes, some may have gone away and are coming back refreshed and glowing and some may have kicked the year off from Jan 1st feeling efficient and some may be hiding away from the world trying to lose the post-Christmas bloat. It’s all temporary and in a couple of weeks we will all be back in our rhythms.

4.    Use this time wisely, instead of getting down on ourselves we can really use January to propel ourselves forward. It is the only time of year we can really set resolutions and everyone will support us. If we start saying mid-March that we want to start waking up earlier, it doesn’t have quite the same ‘oomf’ behind it. Get excited about your resolutions and looking back on yourself in 2025 knowing that you achieved what you set out to today.

5.    Be patient. Setting goals and taking action to achieve them is great but if you feel you are treading water. Stop. Enjoy the stillness and be patient with yourself. Being able to be happy with yourself in all scenarios is the lesson we all need to learn and while getting what we want feels great, sometimes the bit in the middle can be just as key. Keep on keeping on, but don’t feel down if it doesn’t feel like you’re not getting to where you want to go. Life has all types of amazing twists and turns and we need to learn to be truly grateful for what we have and excited for whatever comes our way. Even if it’s stillness, or something different to what we thought.
