Mercury will go retrograde at 7 Libra on September 6, 2009, 9:45 pm
PDT, which is 00:45 am EDT and 5:45 am Greenwich time September 7. Over
the next few days I'll be composing several articles on the meaning of
this phenomenon and how we can make best use of the time. Today we
begin.
Usually, Mercury goes retrograde 3 times each year, but this year
we'll see another one begin in late December, making this a somewhat
unusual year. When Mercury is retrograde, it seems to throw people and
situations into a whirlwind of over, under, sideways and down. But does
it really? Just what is Mercury retrograde? In the next few weeks we'll
discover many things about how Mercury Retrograde in Libra and Virgo
affects us.
Mercury retrograde is one of the most misunderstood parts of
astrology. Many have heard about it, but don't know what it really is.
I've given an introduction about the general meaning of the phenomenon
known as Mercury Retrograde in the article, Mercury Retrograde - A New Look at the Guide of Souls.
It was written to assist readers to pierce through many of the
superstitions and suppositions concerning this repeating phenomenon,
and how it works in our lives.
There's too much to recap here, so if you're not familiar with the
technical elements and basic meanings of this Mercurial phenomenon
happening 3 times a year, please read that article so you can
understand better what this coming period is about, and how best to
approach its challenges and potentialities.
I'll be composing extensively about what the coming retrograde
period is about in future articles. For now, I'll just mention that we
have new insights about our ideals, relationships, and ways of viewing
opportunity coming as a result of the ideas and information we've
received in the past couple of weeks, though there may be delays or
they may come in roundabout ways.
The coming weeks will prove to herald important developments that
will show up late September through mid-October, so take an unusual
view, do your research, rehearsals, and examine peripherals since they
may be more important than we initially thought. More on all of this,
plus how it affects individual signs, in future articles.
