The trickster planet, Mercury, has been especially mischievous over the last three weeks.
When the communication planet turns retrograde, you know that life and the best-laid plans aren’t always going to unfold the way you want them to.
Mercury turned retrograde on September 17th 2015 at 16 degrees Libra.
This week on Friday 9th October Mercury turns direct at 1 degree Libra.
This is your cosmic nudge to get things back on track and try and push through or complete anything that’s stalled or went wrong over the last three weeks.
Plus Mercury turns direct in one of the air signs and the air signs rule social interaction. Line up those all-important conversations, questions and get ready for some serious talking.
Mercury in Libra
Libra is the sign of relationships and more specifically the sign which rules 1-to-1 negotiations, partnership and your relationship with the ‘other’. It’s ‘make-your-mind-up’ time with Mercury’s change of direction in the sign of relating.
A chance to be decisive, to hear the other person’s point of view and let someone know your own thoughts and feelings. Speak from the heart, be honest and open.
Mercury turning direct is the start of a dynamic few days in the heavens when there’s a lot of positive energy, a chance to transform dreams into reality and start afresh.
Venus square Saturn
The only damp squib is Venus square Saturn. When the planet of love is confronted by the planet of gloom and limitation, this indicates that not everyone will be joyful this weekend and some people won’t want to play ball.
Don’t let this stop you getting your own life back on track. The trick is not to try and change the other person but to change your own attitude and your personal approach to love, relationships and life. You’re at the starting blocks: ready, set, go.
For some reason; this Mercury Retrograde has been more ‘painful’ than most, but I am a Libran, so perhaps that was the problem….I was counting the days until it was over, although, I’m still experiencing a few little blips.
I don’t think it was only the Mercury retrograde in Libra that was especially tricky for Librans. It was the eclipse too on September 28th during the Mercury retrograde phase. The eclipse fell across the Aries/Libra axis and seemed to coincide with dramatic events for many Librans. Hopefully you should now feel as if you’re moving on as Mercury is direct and there’s been a brilliant New Moon in Libra. best, Sally
