On September 10th we will have another period of retrograde Mercury. Ending on October 2nd, the movement passes through 2 signs of the zodiac: Libra, from the element Air, and Virgo, from the element Earth. The focus of this retrograde will be to rebalance relationships and restore vitality. The period requires a break in your life to harmonize relationships.
Mercury retrograde once again
Mercury’s next retrograde begins in Libra on September 10th. It shifts to Virgo at the end of this month on the 23rd. The full movement ends on October 2nd, when the messenger planet returns to its normal course and begins its direct transit while still in Virgo.
This is the third of 4 moments that Mercury retrograde happens this year – as we will have another one, the final, which takes place in Capricorn, starts on December 29 and lasts until January 18, 2023. So, it’s best to sign early. The New Year’s plans in advance to avoid the infamous scheduling problems this season normally brings!
Air marks versus earth marks
While retrograde through air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), Mercury addresses social interactions and our communication. Are the people you hang out with wearing you down? Are you technologically up to date? Have you stored and protected your data correctly? How are you presenting yourself to the world? All these questions should be asked during this period.
When Mercury finally moves through the signs of Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), review your budgets, organize your schedules and address the environment. Once you see what needs to be fixed, start taking action.
Mercury retrograde in Libra: 10 to 23 September
Relationships can encounter a number of obstacles as Mercury retrograde passes through Libra, forcing us to review how we communicate with others. The advice here is: “Be yourself!” But what does it really mean? While it’s important to bring authenticity into your social interactions, it’s equally important to pay attention to the impact of your words and body language.
Fortunately, Libra is a zodiac sign that understands the nuances of relationships. As people, we always try to understand situations better. So why not take the opportunity to understand other people better too? Change the pitch and volume of your voice according to each conversation, person and situation. Are you talking to someone quieter and more shy? Speak slower and keep your voice soft. But if you find yourself in an environment full of extroverts, try being more assertive and talking a little more.
The ability to perceive another person’s intentions can be a path to empathy. Instead of focusing only on yourself and your communication, try to also understand how others communicate as Mercury is retrograding through Libra. You can discover new ways to connect with people you never thought you were in a relationship with before.
Also, as Libra is associated with legal issues, review some contracts to make sure you are compliant during this Mercury retrograde. This can prevent future legal problems or bring healthier energy to your work environment.
Knowledge is power and, on an emotional level, it is also the way to feel safe! Even the best relationships can end. At this point, patience will be needed to keep things in balance. Also, exes can get back together, both physically and mentally, so don’t say we didn’t warn you, okay?
