If you've been thinking "Life has been too chill lately," buckle up and enjoy the calm while you have it for most of this week. Mercury will be turning retrograde again starting this Friday, April 21, for the next three weeks. This opens up the possibility for a certain level of miscommunication, tension, and chaos, especially in the realms of travel, planning, and communication. And while we can't promise you that any gift or product will keep life from getting at least a little upended during this time, there is one product that has been thoughtfully made to help us meet it with a little more serenity.

Birthdate Co. Survive Mercury Retrograde 2023
Birthdate Co. — the company that makes the birthdate- and sign-specific candles and necklaces we love — just released a new candle to help us all get through the next few weeks (and all of the Mercury Retrogrades coming for us this year) with as much ease and understanding as we can manage. Aptly named, Survive Mercury Retrograde 2023 is the brand's latest Mercury Retrograde candle — and you're going to want to buy one for all of your friends.
Given that Mercury retrograde can really throw our lives for a loop (especially if you're a Mercury-ruled sign, like Gemini or Virgo, or Taurus, being the sign that Mercury is retrograding in), Birthdate Co. — along with the help of astrologers and master perfumers — has created a candle for us that will instill our homes, bedrooms, and workspaces with some much-needed peace and a semblance of order, thanks to its lavender sage scent and its hidden carnelian crystal that will help "dispel any negative energy and promote positivity," the site says.
With its colorful packaging that reminds us of aura color readings, this candle makes for an amazing gift for the astrology devotee in your life (though we wouldn't blame you if you bought an extra one for yourself).
This is not the first Mercury Retrograde candle the brand has released, and the last one sold out super fast. So if you're thinking this would be great to help you or a friend ease into this upcoming retrograde, we'd recommend grabbing one (or two or three!) before it's too late!
