The planet Mercury, in astrology, governs thought,
communications, ideas, short term travel and concepts. It represents the way we
think, communicate and share our ideas. It embodies how we communicate our
thinking.

personal understand and self-enlightenment through interactions with others.
Diplomats of the Zodiac, they are a sign that is other directed, modelling and
comparing their own behavior through the lens or actions of others. At their
best Libras are tactful, observant and supportive. At their worst they scattered,
facile and indecisive.
The upcoming Mercury retrograde in Libra may have a bit of a
Dr Jeckyll/Mr Hyde quality, urging a frankness, candor, and assertiveness that
at times may be very uncomfortable. The reassertion of personal boundaries, restoring
ones integrity and repairing self-esteem are likely endeavors for this transit.
Libra, truth telling and expressing your honest
feeling what is required now. Revesting
past concerns in genuine, earnest way may prove both cathartic and helpful to yourself
and other parties.

connections with friends, counterparts and associates.

issues that need to be fixed. The reinvestment in past or standing concerns can

While retrogrades provide important solutions, you shouldn’t
seek to initiate them at this time. The retrograde urges the preliminary that
will allow you to apply those answers after the transit ends on October 18. Avoid
starting new activities where you can, and focus on previous activities.
Purge old useless patterns and strive for clarity,
particularly with regards relationships. The retrograde with its current
alignment to Libra will impact strongly upon one's ability to reason and
rationalize, so be careful how you seek to execute plans in the next 3 weeks.
Arguments and personality conflicts should save where they resolved issues
constructively and to mutual benefit.

communication, thoughts and planning, it can create challenges and difficulties
in those areas. Communications, spoken, written and recorded (text, email.
voice messages, etc) can become confused, misunderstood or misinterpreted. To
avoid these complications, work towards communicating simply with a measure of
repetition. Retrogrades can confound
written contracts, electronic gadgets and even our nervous systems. At this
time, you should expect challenges regarding travel and short trips, so allow
for extra time and delays. Creative projects, especially performance and visual
art, generally go well at this time as do spiritual and metaphysical practices

Retrograde a very productive time. you should allow yourself to express and act
upon true feelings in service to finding balance and your emotional center.
