Today we see Mercury moving into the sign of Libra. This is great because Libra is the sign of partnerships so it’s going to be easier to talk about any issues standing between you and someone else. It’s also interesting, though, as at the end of September, Mercury will go retrograde in this same spot!
Here’s what Mercury in Libra means for you ahead of the retrograde…
I always remember asking a friend a really pointed nosey question that I was OH so curious to know the answer to. She turned to me and smiled and said mysteriously “Why do you want to know?” Perfect response. Keep it on mind over the coming week. Mercury, the planet of the mind, is going through your secret 12th house. You may decide you want to stay schtum, even if you’re usually the type to be an open book. And guess what? Keeping your ideas to yourself could be the best thing you can do – so that when you do decide to talk eventually, your opinions will be fully formulated. The other possible effect of this transit of Mercury is that you are going to get the chance to see how your secret fears and unconscious beliefs are somehow sabotaging you. If you know you’ve been the source of your own undoing lately, have a think about what’s driving you. You might be amazed at how a little quite contemplating reveals to you parts of your personality which you usually keep hidden. And then you might be even more amazed at what you can do with this information, as you Get To Know Thyself. PS Going on some kind of retreat is an excellent idea now, the quieter the better. PPS If you have a secret you’re very keen to keep quiet, good luck! It might be possible for only a few more weeks, so be prepared! People freak out about Mercury Retrograde. But there’s no need! On the contrary, even in the midst of the mayhem, if you know how to work with Mercury retrograde, you can end up turning this cycle to your advantage long-term – again and again. Mercury retrograde has a bad reputation but it can be used to resteer your life. As Mercury changes direction, so can you! It’s so important I wrote a simple-to-understand book about it.
