Mercury Retrograde Effects may be felt until Oct 24, 2015 | Andrea de Michaelis – Creating my own reality, one thought at a time

Mercury was retrograde September 17 thru October 9th but it’s not until October 24 that will Mercury will be back to where it was on Sept 17. That means whatever was left unfinished, you’ll have the chance to properly complete after October 24. Mercury Retrograde is nothing to fear. It just means review, reconsider, return for more info. Pay extra attention to detail. Check everything twice. Slow down during this time to be as effective as you can be. Make Mercury retrograde a time for you to be extra careful paying attention to details. During the retrograde, look back in review, proof-read and edit for instances – don’t look forward or plan. Things will begin to straighten out as Mercury passes the point where it first turned retrograde (15:54 Libra) and you can pick back up where you left off before it went retrograde. Save the contracts and commitments until after October 24th. This is also the time to repair any mis-takes of the retrograde period. Mercury goes into Scorpio on November 3rd and then Sagittarius on November 21. Here is what Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and Sagittarius can mean:

Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio
With Mercury being retrograde in Scorpio, a general scepticism is likely to run through the crowd. A sort of confusion is likely to prevail as far as secrets are concerned. Some arrogant tendency is also to be expected. People may be difficult to get along with. There would be a general attraction towards the occult sciences like psychic readings and astrology. Sexual interests come to the fore during this period. This is an excellent period for getting in touch with our instincts, motivations, and dark side. Emotional communication is not as valued as more rational approaches in our society, and now is the time to explore our more intimate and emotional natures and how these affect our decision making processes. Increased sensitivity, or emotional “radar” is likely. We should watch that we don’t get into a paranoid frame of mind, or read too much negativity into what others say.

Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius
With Mercury being retrograde in the house of Sagittarius there could be some troubles and hindrances in the field of education and higher studies. Travelling could be delayed and hindered and there could be a clash of different cultures. International rifts between countries and dignitaries are also expected. Communications could break down when most needed. Generally politics seems to be disrupted much as also the field of arts. Trade deals seem to fall apart but patience shall bring it across once Mercury turns direct.
