Mercury entered the sign of Leo this Morning at 11:28 am EDT/
8:28 PDT. It will remain there until It goes direct on Tuesday, September 5th
7:30 am EDT/ 4:30 am PDT.
This portion of the retrograde will change the complexion of the
transit, going from re-examination and re-evaluation of how to make
improvements in the way you work and think to what roles you play in your daily
life and whether they still serve yo. In the next five days you may be asked
how best to reach your full potential and effectiveness in some role you play.
Where do you place your loyalties? Where do you find affirmation and acknowledgement?
Again, it is a short transit and in all likelihood in the
follow- up of the Virgo portion of the transit so don’t be overly concerned if
you don’t come to some earth shattering revelation. In general terms, look at
the roles you currently play and how you can improve them. Retrogrades are
times to address problems but not to work them out. The real work comes once
the retrograde is over, in this case five days from now.
at this time (especially during the Taurus portion of the
transit) but leave off radical changes until after the transit ends.
Continue with the retrograde as you have for the last few weeks.
Hang tight as you only you have 5 more days. If insights to the ongoing
retrograde and how to deal , please consult my article, Devil in the Details: Mercury
Retrograde in Virgo/ Leo
Again, Mercury retrogrades are notorious for their affect upon
devices of planning and communication. Telephones, computers, written message
and contracts may experience problems during its passage. Try not to initiate
new projects or make commitment wherever possible at this time. Keep your focus
upon existing concerns instead. In light of this transit it might be in your
best interest to get a second opinion or an outside observer to help review
Leo, Seek to determine who you are and what roles
you play, for yourself and others. Reconsidering
your position and responsibility may ultimately be for the best.
Aquarius, your commitments and expectation to others
may require that you vet such matters with a new set of eyes. It may be time to determine what might be
best for then and what will be better for now.
Taurus and Scorpio, in the next five days, some matter may present itself that will ask
you to charge some aspect of the role
you play in the lives of others. It won’t easy but it should prove worthwhile
for every moment you are willing to devote to it once the retrograde is over.
In the next few weeks get in touch with your humanity, both
acknowledging your frailties and allowing for a new perspectives. Spend time in
spiritual practices and creative endeavors during this period. Any creative
projects should prove helpful and instructive at this time. You should dwell
upon things that predate the retrograde and be mindful of starting any new
works during this period.
