Basics – What is Mercury Retrograde?

A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to be moving backward from our vantage point on Earth. It’s not actually moving backwards, it just appears that way. Mercury is retrograde most often, about 3-4 times per year, and lasts for several weeks. When a planet is retrograde, the rules of that planet are discarded, along with which sign it is retrograde in the rules.

We experience shadows and storms when Mercury is retrograde. The shadow period begins when Mercury first hits the point in the zodiac, it will turn straight, and will go retrograde when it hits the last point in the zodiac.

Most people don’t feel the effects of Mercury retrograde until it enters a storm period. The stormy period of Mercury retrograde is when Mercury is moving at its slowest, less than 40 minutes per day. Mercury is a fast moving planet and hates to move slowly. There are usually two storm periods, one around the time when Mercury turns retrograde, and the other when it becomes observable.

Mercury retrograde in Libra can target relationships, and we may struggle to get along, to see eye to eye, and to come together. We can focus too much on other people’s shortcomings, and problems in relationships can seem so much worse because we know more about them. This is an opportunity to improve and make the relationship more solid if we choose to. Otherwise, the relationship could become more strained, or even end.

There can be difficulty finding balance, and we can become aware of how unbalanced things have become. It can be good to focus on what we’re missing and try to restore balance to areas that need it. If we let it get worse, we can become more indecisive and isolated.

We can also focus more on what is fair and fair, and if we feel that things are not very fair or fair, we may want to fight that. That may be cool, but we need to make sure we’re going about it the right way and have a plan, not just fly by the seat of our pants.

With this being the last Mercury retrograde in Libra for some time, we can see some issues that have come up in relationships and our dealings with others in the last 2-3 years reach or end.

Mercury moves back into Virgo on September 23, and this can bring tension to the nth degree.

Virgo is the sign of work and productivity, so we can ask for a lot of ourselves, which is actually possible. We can keep taking on projects, adding in things that need to be done, and it can weigh us down and weigh us down. We need to be realistic about what we can do, and not demand perfection. It can be a period of productivity, but only if we don’t burn out in the process.

Mercury is the lord of Virgo, so energy spreads in this zodiac. We are extra anxious and at our wit’s end, and we need to be gentle and have better patience with ourselves and others.
