Time to reflect, not act"},"content":{"rendered":"

Take the next 3 weeks to reflect rather than initiate something new. Mercury goes retrograde October 4 through October 24. \u00a0 On November 11, Mercury will be back to where it was when it went retrograde, meaning whatever you leave unfinished this week, you will have the chance to properly complete it after November 11.\u00a0 I think\u00a0Mercury Retrograde<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0gets a bad rap.\u00a0 Since Mercury rules communication, people say \u201coh everything\u2019s going wrong, that\u2019s Mercury retrograde for you,\u201d and that\u2019s not the case at all.\u00a0 Mercury Retrograde just means review, reconsider, return for more info. Pay extra attention to detail.\u00a0 Check everything twice.\u00a0 Slow down during this time, to be as effective as you can be.\u00a0The way to make the most of Mercury retrograde is to not let it have any power over you. Stop keeping track of when it is.\u00a0<\/em> If you can\u2019t do that, then make Mercury retrograde a time for you to be extra careful paying attention to details.\u00a0 During the retrograde, your time is best spent looking back in review \u2013 not looking forward.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Astrologers say do not apply for a loan during this time, or interview for a new job.\u00a0 Do not take a first date seriously. Do not begin a new partnership.\u00a0 Hold off on romance.\u00a0 Mates from the past may reappear, or perhaps just past relationship baggage will cloud your thought processes \u2013 and the new relationship.\u00a0 Retrograde isn\u2019t the time to break up or otherwise decide on a new direction in relationships. If you have to have \u201cthe talk,\u201d hold off until Mercury goes direct. \u00a0 Even if things have taken a turn for the worst, when Mercury goes direct, you could pick up where you left off.\u00a0 That can be the good news and<\/em> the bad news. Either way, it gives you the chance to make a clean break and smooth over the messy outburst neither of you intended 3 weeks ago. A retrograde is not the time to set a date or finalize any important plans, as they\u2019ll likely end up needing redoing.\u00a0 If you enter into contracts, make sure you read the fine print. This will save you much time and money later.<\/p>\n

Things will begin to straighten out as Mercury passes the point where it first turned retrograde, and you can pick back up where you left off before it went retrograde.\u00a0Save the contract signing, the break up or engagement plans until after that, and this is also the time to repair any mis-takes of the retrograde period.<\/p>\n

Mercury will be in Scorpio October 4 \u2013 10 and in Libra October 11 – 24. \u00a0 (Scorpio is my 7th house of relationship and Libra is my 6th house of health, work and service.)\u00a0 Here is what Mercury retrograde in Libra and Scorpio can mean:<\/p>\n

Mercury Retrograde in Libra
\nWhen Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Libra, there could be troubles in the fronts of law, partnership deals and marriage. As these all have to do with partners or some companionship. You can go in for some artistic pursuits in this period. People are found to dither and waver in their thoughts and actions. Emotions need to be controlled and a mental revamp would be the need of the hour. With regard to health, kidney problem is likely to slip in , hence drink plenty of water and avoid acidic foods at all costs.<\/p>\n

Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio
\nWith 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.\u00a0 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. \u00a0Increased sensitivity, or emotional \u201cradar\u201d is likely. We should watch that we don\u2019t get into a paranoid frame of mind, or read too much negativity into what others say.<\/span><\/p>\n
