Shiftheads: Mercury Retrograde Talked Him Into Getting Organized

A workplace seminar on Mercury retrograde turns into a real debate about belief systems, astrology, and whether star charts hold up to basic math. Anyone who has ever rolled their eyes at a horoscope only to have a rough week make them second guess it will recognise this one.   The conversation covers why astrologers frame retrograde as a time for reflection rather than blame, and how using that mindset to catch up on admin work led to a genuinely productive stretch, confirmation bias aside.   It closes with an honest look at where belief systems help and where they can slide into something worth watching out for, without ever landing on a hard yes or no.   Topics: Mercury retrograde, astrology belief systems, confirmation bias, workplace productivity, faith and spirituality   Originally aired on 2026-07-28
