Mercury is Direct But It Lags Behind
Please welcome guest blogger Sharon Leah to Guided by the Stars! Sharon works with Llewellyn’s Calendars and Almanacs in our Production department.
Mercury is in apparent direct motion again after being retrograde nearly all of September. Did anyone breeze through this retrograde period unscathed? The winged trickster tagged me. I purchased a new domain name for a Website on September 28 (one of the worst days to conduct business, because Mercury was almost stationary). The domain remained in limbo for several days before it became active on October 2.
While Mercury was retrograde, it slid back into Virgo, where it drew attention to the details of life, and we spent three weeks reviewing, revising, and redoing our decisions about many day-to-day concerns. Travel, communications, and your thinking processes should be back to normal by now. There is one little detail that may still be creating some delays, however, which is that now the Sun is nearly half way through Libra and way out in front of Mercury in Virgo. Why does that matter?
Well, among other things, you may experience a few more days in which your time is spent setting things right again in order to get them moving in the right direction. Remember that Mercury delivers information and when information lags behind, we have days in which we can say, “If only I had known sooner.” After November 2, messages will be more on time. The full moon in Aries on October 4 may have revealed—“brought to light”—something important that needs your attention, as well.
