Mercury Retrograde for Libra, Scorpio, Sag, Cap, Aq, Pisces

I am so glad the first hectic week of MercuryRetrograde is over and I am sorry for not posting the other six sings earlier; it was just too much to do. As I have told you, Mercury Retrograde is a period when we need to rethink things and slow down, but in the same time Mercury Retrograde means misunderstanding and it takes a lot of time to put the pieces back together and explain what you really mean. Past week’s lesson for me was: we should all go back and see if what we said was really what the others understood. Good communication is everything nowadays. 

Please read below all of you with the Sun sign in: Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Please see the other six signs in the post "A highway covered with thick fog"

Also a new quote I love: “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door”

Libra: This Mercury Retrograde period affects you in terms of financial earnings and travel, communication, and siblings. Take extra care of your financial statement, earned income; it is highly possible that payments will be delayed; bills will not be paid in time. Just try to reason with everybody and expect all kinds of explanations from everybody. Also it is possible the meetings will be postponed, clients will often change their mind and you will just have to be there for everybody. It is best to put off signing checks or contracts, read everything carefully because it the worst can happen with a contract at this time. Try to choose your words carefully and read everything twice. If you can, try to rethink clauses in a deal as it is possible you cannot see the real thing just now. Wait till the 26^th of November to see everything with new eyes. Also, please be careful with money spending as it is not a good time to spend or to invest.  And above all, try to communicate as clearly as possible as we all depend of better communication.

Scorpio: Mercury goes retrograde in the area of your life that has to do with financial earnings and your true self. Actually it goes retrograde in your own sign and this is not good news for you, dear Scorpio. You should take extra care with earnings, checks, payment. Check everything twice and postpone all things related to money as much as you can. As I told you Mercury retrogrades in your own sign and that means you should take extra care in: communication, expressing yourself, body language, mixed signals. Clear up everything you say and be sure everybody is on the same page as you are. You must go slowly in everything you do and do not make radical changes or try to shift something. You will see at the end of this transit things will become clearer for you. Try to avoid or postpone as much as possible taking decision especially if these affect you in a major way. Read more about MercuryRetrograde.

Sagittarius: Mercury goes retrograde in your own sign in the last period and in the area of your life that has to do with intuition, hidden enemies, spiritual inspiration, cosmic consciousness and enlightenment. At first you will feel that your intuition is not going so well. You are a fire sign and a very quick judge of the human character. At this period of time you must be aware of what your intuition is telling you as it will not be entirely true. It is just what you need to hear. Be patient and try to judge less. Also be aware that there are people around you that are not your friends and you will not be able to spot them at this time. Take time to think before you act although I know it’s hard for you. Please be aware that you will feel this retrograde period more than others as it will affect your 1^st house. One more thing, clear communication is the key now as you will probably be misunderstood.

Capricorn: Mercury goes retrograde in the areas of your life that have to do with hidden enemies, spiritual inspiration, cosmic consciousness, enlightenment and friendships. This time of the year will not affect you very much and you will probably not be forced to stop and think as other sings. You just have to be very careful of the people you trust now. These people that surround you may be the problem that Mercury is creating for you. As this affects the house of the hidden enemies and of the friendships, you must be very aware of who are these people around you, if they need something from you, if they try to discriminate you. As Mercury Retrograde affects everybody and that includes you too in terms of communication; be aware of this in relation to group meetings and arrangements. Also, please be aware of your intuition as it will not be the best time to rely on it.

Aquarius: Mercury goes retrograde in your solar house that has to do with your friendships, acquaintances and career. At first, Mercury will affect us in terms of friendship and we will have a very hard time meeting with friends at this time. It is possible to see old friends or just have old acquaintances around you. Then, the crisis comes when Mercury turns retrograde in our career house. This is why, I, as a true Aquarius, was having so much trouble with everybody at work trying to explain everything a million times. This is what Mercury does to all of us: it affects us in our communication with our peers, bosses, colleagues and almost everybody at work. Try to be calm, explain everything twice and try not to place yourself in the spot light, avoid public speaking and choose your words in a correct manner. Put off making career decisions at this time as they are very unproductive. Avoid singing contracts and think about changing something, but do it after the 26^th of November.

Pisces: Mercury goes retrograde in your solar house that has to do with career and higher learning, universities, professors. At first you have to be very careful with what you will say to your boss and extra care should be used when communicating with co-workers. It is not the best time to make a career decision, not the best time to sign a contract; try just to be aware of this because it’s a bad deal if it is signed on Mercury Retrograde. Try to be as a clear communicator as you have ever been as everything that will be said can turn against you. Use short and clear sentences and avoid all higher communication. Try not to speak to a public and delay as much as you can meetings where you have the most important role. Be flexible, as you usually are and try to go with the flow. As I said, we are all in this together and communication will not go well. What we can do is lower the impact as much as possible.

Thanks everybody for reading and have a peaceful Mercury Retrograde !

A highway covered with thick fog

Mercury Retrograde - a highway covered with thick fog. Read about it if you have the Sun in Aries, Taurus, Gemini,Cancer, Leo, Virgo. Soon I will post the other 6 zodiac sings.

Aries: Mercury goes retrograde in the areas of your life that have to do with education and higher learning and other people finances. Delay is possible when it comes to taking an exam or some loans, taxes. Prepare yourself for a step back if you plan to take a loan now. Try not to make a new investment and do not rely on your loved one for support or money. This is not a time to spend a lot of money; just try to budget and control. Be very careful if you have to speak to professors or lawyers.  In Mercury retrograde periods communication is very low and misinterpretation may always find its place. Read more about what this transit means on Mercury Retro.

Taurus: Mercury goes retrograde in the areas of your life that have to do with marriage and other people finances. There might be an issue with revisiting or trying to understand why an old loved has ended. It’s a good time to ask yourself and you must get some answers until the period is over on the 26^th of November. This will be a good time to end a relationship that you had for good. Be careful that this may generate miscommunication with a current partner that is if you found one. There can be some delays if you need to receive loans at this time. Try not to spend money and save them or just try to calculate your savings better. Avoid investments at all costs this time. Plans may shift especially when it comes to a close partner. Try not to take decisions at this time as it is rather dangerous. Read more about what this transit means on Mercury Retro.

Gemini: Mercury is your ruling planet and for you things now will just go slower. This retrograde period of Mercury is in your marriage sector and your job sector. Probably an old partner will come to visit and just see how you are. Try to settle down and talk and don’t rejuvenate the love you ones shared. On the 6^th of November, Neptun will also find himself there to make a hard aspect with Mercury and it is vital to not make any announcements on this date. A misunderstanding with your partner and serious damage to your relation is possible this month. At work you will find yourself surrounded by emails, phone calls, appointments of all sorts and delays to each of them. It’s best to be super organized at this time because you can forget things or just place them somewhere not to be found. Read more about what this transit means on Mercury Retro.

Cancer: Mercury is retrograde this time in your solar houses related to work and creativity. You will feel a little stuck right now, give it a little time because creative energy will come after the retrograde period has ended and that is after the 26^th of November. A romance that started at the Full Moon in Taurus has a few weeks of a setback and because you have so much to do at work, you will postpone this a little.  At work, double check everything you do and every email you sent as this is not a good time for communication. As I said, Mercury Retrograde affects us all in all forms of communication. Try to avoid as much as possible detailed work that you do as this is the time where you can miss some details. Your intuition is perfect and we all know that about you; but at this time and this month don’t trust it so much. Try to review, try to see everything with new eyes especially at work and with your new romance. This is the time to reevaluate and see if things are going in the right direction.

Leo: Mercury will be retrograde in the areas of your life that have to do with creativity and family. Extra care should be exercised when it comes to your family and your children. Avoid signing contracts and avoid all things related to buying or going over real estate at this time. You are probably thinking about this a lot because Saturn entered hour home and family sector, as you remember. This month just take a moment to reevaluate the budget and just calculate again. If you do have a contract in your hand that has to do with selling, buying or renting a house it’s best to have a very good legal look over it. It might have issues and this is the time to find out. It’s also possible to rethink some creative projects that you have. Now you do not have so much inspiration and you just don’t know what is wrong. Blame this all on the Mercury in Retrograde because this is what is does: it slows down and it keeps us not moving forward.

Virgo: Mercury will be retrograde in the area of your life that relates to day to day work and with family. Take extra care and expect delays in writing and receiving emails, legal documents and phone calls. You should feel the pressure that a lot is going on, but actually nothing gets till the end. Or you will just wait for a lot of things to happen on your day to day work. Try to be non judgmental to your family members and try to be patient and wait for better days will come. This is not a good period for communication as Mercury is the messenger. Read more about this on the Mercury Retrograde. It’s best to spend this month with detail work and avoid singing contracts and making decisions. Try to reevaluate and reassess what you have pending on your desk this month: even if it is just some important email, a big business contract or a contract for buying or selling a house. 

Mercury Retro and the US Elections

As November 2012 starts we find Mercury Retrograde from the 6^th till the 26^th, so almost all November will be a slowing down month. Mercury will go retrograde in Sagittarius (and later move into Scorpio). 

Please read below about planet Mercury and what Mercury Retrograde is. You will find more about your own sign in future posts.

 

Mercury?

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest. In Roman mythology Mercury is the god of commerce, travel and thievery, the Roman counterpart of the Greek god Hermes, the messenger of the Gods. The planet probably received this name because it moves quickly across the sky. Mercury is the planet of communication, negotiation, documents, travel and contractual agreements.

Mercury Retrograde?

Three, and sometimes four, times a year, the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky for a period of approximately 3 weeks. Mercury is retrograde from November 6th to 26th, 2012. When Mercury is in retrograde, communication can seem to slow down and decision-making is challenged. It is not advised to sign contracts at this time. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting, thinking at what can be done better in a project, in a contract. It is not a good time to start new things; just try to reflect and put everything in order in your life. Rethink the old strategy; consider new ways you can look at the same problem. Slow down and take a deep breath and very important: don’t act and talk too much at this time. After this period is over, your priorities will swing and new conditions will come into action. It would not be wise to shop for expensive holiday gifts this month. Back up files, phone numbers in your cell phone, and keep a close eye on any item that you will feel you are going to lose this month. 

Interesting Fact!

The US Presidential election will take place on the evening of November 6, the very date that Mercury is turning retrograde and that will make this date a heavy one. Mercury retrograde is very strong on the day it goes retro. So, we will see an influence of miscommunication, recounts of votes, broken machines, and legal issues on the deciding day for the US. We have a Pisces born March 12^th … meet Willard Mitt Romney and a Leo born August 4^th … meet Barack Hussein Obama II.  This is a battle between a very strong Fire Sign, the Leo and a very mild and ambitious Water Sign, the Pisces. Let’s see who wins this J !
