Mercury Opposing Retrograde Uranus...

starts today (using a 1 degree orb), is exact at 9.47pm, and leaves August 22. Mercury at 25 degrees and 40 minutes of Virgo, retrograde Uranus at 25 degrees and 40 minutes of Pisces.

Mercury is a planet associated with data, information, communication, 'exchanges' and connecting with others mentally. Uranus is VERY energetic and 'electrical', and the combination of these two energies through the dynamic opposition suggests to me a bit of a mind blowing time!

At one level something or someone may 'blow our minds'! Or perhaps a sudden realisation will dramatically change the way you handle a particular person or situation (probably related to something that started or someone that came into your life when Mercury and Uranus were conjunct last - around 22 March 2009 at 23 degrees of Pisces).

So, by looking at where these aspects are you can get a better idea of what to expect. Also look to see which houses are ruled by Mercury (Gemini and Virgo), and Uranus (Aquarius).
