Mercury Retrograde in Libra
Read Your Guide to Mercury RX in Libra
On September 10, there is a full moon in Pisces (17°) and Mercury goes retrograde in Libra (24° – 8°) from September 10 to October 1, 2022.
The full moon heightens your senses are and you may feel a strong pull to nurture yourself or connect to a spiritual group. This full moon can bring awareness around your place in the world and what is out of place. While it feels intense, gentleness is required to understand your incarnation. If you’ve been feeling unsure of life, try to find quiet space to find your center again.
The human mind cannot be in a state of panic and calm simultaneously. Your brain is designed to be in one state at a time, I think that is a good safety switch and why breathwork, meditation, etc, is so effective. You can’t control external influences; however, you can be mindful of how you handle the emotional lessons this full moon reveals.
Let’s get right into this hyped topic, Mercury RX and what to expect.
Mercury is the messenger. Your communication giveth and taketh. Language has birthed crucial developments for humans. It has helped us understand our natural world through maths, sciences, languages, and forever shaped the landscape of Earth. The theme of language is magnified with Mercury in the air sign, Libra.
Libra
Libra is ruled by Venus and known as the planet of love and money. Libra is represented by the scales of justice and rules the seventh house. Libra seeks to find balance between all relationships, especially, pertaining to love, money, and justice. A never-ending conundrum for life on Earth. Wars are constantly waged over these 3 topics. A once happy marriage can turn into a sour divorce battle. Opposite Libra is Aries, the sign of me, myself and I. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of war and action! Mars is now in Gemini for a long seven months. Gemini is the air sign that represents the iconoclast and communication. Additionally, in the other air sign, Aquarius, Saturn is in retrograde too.

Communication Channel Changes!
As I’ve intuited in my previous blog, I see massive changes in how information is shared. Just like video stores went out of business, media outlets go through transitions. As the older generation seize to exist, Facebook struggles and morphs into business a directory versus its original idea to keep people connected. I've seen YouTube change its monetizing model, but it still feels relevant. Instagram, snapchat, etc, all scramble to stay current. You will see younger generations create platforms that fit their generations needs. The rest of us, scramble to keep up and/or go through trial and error to find what works for our needs!
What is trendy?!
I feel all people want are real connections with their true friends and tribes. That is where I see app trends moving towards. Don’t be surprised if new apps popup within the two years and your ditching old platforms for the hottest new trends!
There is a stir up of strong feelings around legality and sharing content to the world. What social media platform do you prefer? What is the main reason you use social media?
They are going to need to make bigger phones because my old eyes are getting worst by the day, viewing content on my phone!
What does Mercury RX in Libra mean for you?
If you are unhappy with your current trajectory, the energy will help you examine your life. Surrender to getting in your own way. The words you use reveal your true passions, however, the “no, I can’t, I don’t know how”, are all blocks that you are creating. Listen with intent to the language you use daily and the unconscious projections you make. Your words give major clues to your doubts and fears.
Language is an extension of what you feel, think, and all the associations and assumptions you’ve made about yourself in your early development stages. Your body language says everything too. If you hold yourself back from acting on your desires. Is that procrastination or protection? If you physically can’t go to your job, is that because you are lazy or because the job isn’t fulfilling? All language is important to observe but body language was our first language.
If you’re not living your ideal life, listen to the words you tell yourself, observe your body’s reaction to situations.
Can you change your script and change your vibration?
Yes you can! Healthy thoughts, health life.
Ending Cycles
For months, I’ve been feeling the energy of death around me. Off course, being on Earth is literal passing from this realm to the next. Through meditation, yoga, etc, you can alter your state and make infinite shifts. You learn from your past and transform. Retrogrades are similar, they allow you to succumb to the past and reshape your future. Don’t ignore the messages Mercury brings you.
Expect high level internal dialogues that help you find your truths and understanding in your relationships. Past people can come back to help you graduate and finalize the lessons you didn’t complete. You may feel exhausted with some challenging people and decide to write a spiritual contract seizing the relationship. I trust you will find compassion that holds you accountable for only your actions.
