Mercury Retrograde in Libra & Virgo (Sept 9 - Oct 2, 2022)

We are heading into an interesting weekend, as Mercury goes astray (retrograde) together with another full moon. 

In Astrology, the planet Mercury involves how we perceive, interpret, and communicate information, yet the quality of its symbolic meaning varies depending on its path in the heavens above. Instead of moving fast and direct like usual, Mercury now shifts into a slower speed and then in backwards motion through the zodiac. Although the word 'retrograde' stems from the Latin meaning 'to go backward,' it's important to note that no planets move backward, they only appear to do so, owing to our Earth-bound perspective.

During the entirety of Mercury retrograde, schedules are jumbled, and relations are fumbled; we say the wrong thing at the wrong moment and can find our most important plans foiled by misunderstandings. However, Mercury retrograde brings important opportunities for adjustment and adaptation.

So, open your intuition to receive whatever messages Mercury will provide regarding shifts in story-lines or thought patterns gone stale. Remember, the key is to embrace being in between states of mind and to accept the fluidity of life rather than resisting change.
