Whether or not you believe Mercury is conspiring against you, the supposed side effects of the phase can be annoying, but you can’t stop living your life—or shopping for what you want. After all, you can arm yourself against the mishaps caused by cosmic event with a necklace of protective stones, a blend of very necessary essential oils, and a calming handmade candle.
