Mercury Retrograde in Libra

Hold on to your thinking caps - Mercury goes Retrograde in LIBRA which is likely to cause numerous miscommunications between friends and partners. Negotiations among friends and marital partners may be confusing and frustrating, and it may be difficult to make decisions. Try to give speakers a decent chance before jumping all over their words. Interruptions and tensions are likely to occur during discussions. Peace talks among diplomats may seem useless. Cancellations and postponements of court cases and judicial processes may be prevalent. A key to getting through the Mercury retrograde period is to be attentive to important details, to inquire often, and to listen carefully.

Although Mercury does not technically go Retrograde until next week, some of you may already be feeling "something" going on...

Just to let you know... the two week period both BEFORE AND AFTER Mercury goes retrograde/direct, is what is known as the "shadow" period. It is the time when the planet is slowing down to a halt, and then again when it is getting back into motion. Those two weeks of shadow time are usually the beginning of the "drama" of the Mercury Rx. Although Mercury is technically retrograde for about only three weeks, most astrologers tack on those two weeks before and after giving us a whopping 6-7 weeks of Retrograde fun!

Just remember your "RE-" words!!!

Re-lax, Re-think, Re-do, Re-visit, Re-organize, Re-cuperate, etc.

Ahh - the good 'ol Mercury Retrograde. Mercury is my ruling planet so these always f*** with me. Here's another good piece of advice:

"It's never wise to make large purchases when Mercury is retrograde. Electronics are particularly troublesome to buy at these times because Mercury rules electrical items and machines with moving parts. Honestly, however, it is best to avoid making any large outlays"

Mercury goes Direct on Wednesday 10/15 @ approx. 1pm pdt


here is what my favorite astrologer has to say about it:

"Things come to a crescendo this week with a Full Moon on Tuesday and the end of Mercury's retrograde on Wednesday, followed by Venus' flight from the bowels of Scorpio and into the wider horizons of Sagittarius on Friday. This week sees the completion of the dynamics we've been working with for the last few weeks, and the beginning of their dissolution into the next phase...

This week Mercury comes to the bottom of his retrograde and turns around, digging his way out of the tunnel he's pursued for the last few weeks. Hellenistic and Roman astrologers called such an about face a "phasis" or "an appearance that speaks." And that is exactly what we will be getting. Mercury goes direct on Wednesday afternoon, and mere hours later, the final, crucial presidential debate takes place. After a retrograde debate where few people came away persuaded from preexisting prejudices, this debate is each candidate's chance to win the war for hearts and minds."
