Mercury Stations Retrograde
Mercury Stations Retrograde
4th PST 21:56 / 5th AEST 14:56
The infamous Mercury retrograde phase of our lives is here again and this time Mercury will be stationing in its domicile Virgo at 4°06’ and then immediately conjoins with Venus. Like two ships, Mercury and Venus meet for a short blip to exchange tips and tricks. The retrograde degree point is worth noting because when it stations direct and travels back over 4°06’ Virgo, the questions, curiosities and projects that you were working through as Mercury stationed retrograde will resurface around September 11/12 for resolution.
Mercury will retrograde back into Leo on the 14th continuing its retrograde dance among the fire signs. While Mercury is rx in Leo, the same conversations, subjects and issues reemerge that were once in the fore. Topics such as personal style and creative ambitions come up but also the question of rulership, influential figures and the authenticity or need of certain leadership positions. What we once spoke about with absolute confidence may come under scrutiny, or we may come to question our own sense of inner authority regarding a special interest.
On August 28/29 Mercury will station direct, ending the mind scrambling time of the retrograde phase. There is no need to alter major plans or projects just for a Mercury retrograde cycle but keeping in mind the heightened possibilities of miscommunication and misperceptions of character especially with the Leo influence will help to make the discombobulating time a prance in the park.
