Mercury goes Retrograde...

today in Kilmore at 2.45pm at 6 degrees and 13 minutes of Libra.

Mmmm, just to add to the energy mix at the moment we have the planet of clear communication and our starry messenger deciding to have a bit of hissy fit and head back to where it came from!

Mercury going retrograde can be a bit of a pain, BUT, it is an opportunity to go back over (recent) past situations that may need a bit of tweaking and fine-tuning. By looking at where this planet is in your birth chart you may get a feel for what may need a bit of extra attention to detail. Mercury started slowing down at about 5 degrees of Libra and will sneak back into Virgo on around September 19 (depending on where you live). It will continue sliding backwards until September 29 until it hits 27 degrees and 55 minutes of Virgo where it will hover for about a week.

After that it will re-enter Libra on October 11 and will get back to where it went retrograde on around October 14... things should be back to normal by then (normal???- ha, with everything happening in the sky right now I've forgotten what that is!).

Anyway, if you are a cardinal or mutable sign then you are likley to feel this retrograde period more keenly than others. Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn: mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
